Evidence: | 'I was reading yesterday and to-day "Sense and Sensibility", which I resumed at the second volume. The last volume greatly improves on the first, but I still think it one of the poorest of Miss Austen's novels - that is inferior to "Mansfield Park" and "Pride and Prejudice", which is all I have read.' |

Crabb Robinson has clearly forgotten reading "Emma" in 1822, or confused "Emma" and "Mansfield Park" (see RED ID 7999). |
