Mary Leadbetter : Cottage Dialogues Among the Irish Peasantry
'Have you seen the little book, "Cottage Dialogues", by Mrs Leadbetter? Edgeworths notes are lively and [nationally] characteristic as ever: but I own, I tired a little of the receipts to make cheap dishes. Without half so much ceremony & fuss and trouble, I had rather dine upon that cheap dish, an egg boiled in the shell - or a good mess of gruel and onions'.
