Evidence: | John Murray to his wife, 15 August 1814:
'I have got [for publication] at last Mr. Eagle's "Journal of Penrose, the Seaman" [...] Lord
Byron sent me word this morning by letter (for he borrowed the MS. last night): "Penrose is
most amusing. I never read so much of a book at one sitting in my life. he kept me up half
the night, and made me dream of him the other half. It has all the air of truth, and is most
entertaining and interesting in every point of view."' |
