Jacques Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre : Paul and Virginia
'Tuesday Nov. 8th. Rise at nine -- Read through the Man of Feeling who would have just suited Fanny [Godwin] for a husband [...] [Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin] dines at two & goes to meet Shelley [...] Read Political Justice [...] Read Paul & Virginia -- in the Evening. I admire the descriptions [...] The Story is [...] in itself trifling & uninteresting -- the speeches and Characters are inflated and unnatural.'
