George Grote : A History of Greece
Sarah Austin to Harriet Grote, wife to George Grote, 29 August 1847: 'His [Austin's husband John] great comfort, during his tedious illness, has been Mr. Grote's History, which Alexander Gordon brought over to him. To me it has been a heartfelt pleasure to hear him ejaculating at intervals, "What a conscientious book!" "It is delightful!" "There is all Grote's honesty!" and so on.'
