Evidence: | Harriet, Countess Granville to her sister, Lady Carlisle, 31 July 1832:
'I have the greatest pleasure in reading religious books. I find that I understand the Bible better than I ever did before, that I know much better what I am not and what I ought to be, that the subject interests and occupies me deeply, whilst I am employed on it [...] I have been reading Fenn's sermons and like most of them extremely as explaining and directing. Bradley's third volume is excellent. Adams' "Private Thoughts" one likes better and better. There are parts that one cannot, but these always redeemed by something so true, so feeling, so practical.' |
