Theresa Lewis : Extracts of the Journals and Correspondence of Miss Berry from the Year 1783 to 1852

'So it was you that sent me "Miss Berry"! That was a real good deed. I don't find that anybody enjoys it half so much as I do; but nobody I see had any clear idea of that trio, or cares about their times as I do. I have not finished it even yet, I am glad to say. I read it as you do; and moreover, a big book has come in which must be read at once, - Mr Grote's "Plato". That too is an immense enjoyment in its way. At first, it was pure delight; but as I go on I am rather dismayed at the amount of repetition in it...'.

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Harriet Martineau      Print: Book
