Evidence: | Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 21 July 1753:
'I scarce know a greater pleasure than reading over a book one is fond of with persons of taste and candour, to whom it is entirely new. A great deal of this pleasure I have had lately. Mrs Rowe's excellent works were an undiscovered treasure to Mrs Berkeley, and she values them as they deserve. We read one night a certain Vision in the Rambler, that I saw fixed her whole attention.' |
