| Evidence: | [Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 13 April 1756:]
'Have you seen the reflections, maxims, and characters moral and satirical? Amusing, I think, and not bad; writ by a fine man that no mortal suspected for an author; a Mr Greville [...] somebody said of it very well, that it is quite a French book written in English.' |
