Evidence: | Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 19 August 1754:
'I was much pleased the other day in reading a system of moral philosophy, to find that the moral frame was not perfect without a due degree of fear, and of all sorts of passions. 'Tis a posthumous work of Mr Fordyce, and all together an excellent little book.' |
