| Evidence: | Sir William Molesworth to Harriet Grote, September 1838, regarding his planned edition of the
works of Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury:
'I have written this day to Mr. Grote, to ask permission to dedicate the volumes to him [...] I
shall ever feel the deepest gratitude for the philosophical instruction he gave me when I first
knew him, which induced me to study Hobbes and similar authors, and created a taste in my
mind for that style of reading.'
