Evidence: | 'Faith Gray, dutiful member of a devout York evangelical family, self-accusingly notes in a review of the year 1768 a "strange mixture of Morality, History and Novels in my reading", but although she itemises some of the morality and history she is uninformative about the novels.' |

Gray's reading is presumably detailed more specifically in the source Pearson mentions - Mrs Edwin Gray's Papers and diaries of a York family, 1764-1839 (1927). Her grand-daughter's reading is also mentioned. See Gray pp. 24, 258. |
