Reading Experience:

Evidence:
?I finished poor old Carlyle last night. Froude?s case is curious. He expresses & I think, really feels, veneration & so forth; but there is something curiously complicated about the man wh. I have not yet found a name for. I think that he is rather a coward & likes snarling from behind Carlyle?s back. Luckily I have not to review him!?
