| Evidence: | Edward Young to Samuel Richardson, 8 May 1749:
'When I was in town, I ask'd you if you had read Dr Hartley's book. You told me you had not [...] I have since read it a second time, and with great satisfaction. It is certainly a work of distinction [...] It is calculated for men of sense [...] there is no man who seriously considers himself as immortal, but will find his pleasure, if not his profit, in it.' |
