Sir Gilbert Eliot, first Earl Minto : poems
Friday, 23 December 1825: 'Sir Gilbert [the first Earl Minto] was indeed a man among a thousand. I knew him very intimately at the beginning of the century [...] He loved the Muses and worshipd them in secret and used to read some of [his] poetry which was but middling. One upon a walk with his lady which involved certain conclusions (most delicately couchd) but which it is not usual to allude [to].'
