Lady Sale : Journal [of experience of retreat from Afghanistan]
Sir Francis B. Head to John Murray, 19 April 1843: 'I was at a committee this morning, when I heard a gentleman say: "My friend, Mr. Bouverie, got hold of Lady Sale's book yesterday evening and sat reading it till five o'clock this morning. In fact, he passed the night with Lady Sale instead of with his own wife. I mention this as one of the sins for which, as a publisher, you will some of these days have to account.'
