Evidence: | Sir Francis Knight to John Murray, 1 April 1839:
'I cannot help thanking you for having sent us such a shower of Quarterly Reviews. My Hens are quite delighted at the review of my "Narrative," and chuckle with great pride. Although I cannot presume to crow on the occasion, yet I may tell you that I feel deeply gratified at the view that has been taken of my services [...] It is certainly not only kindly but very ably done.' |
