Samuel Richardson : Clarissa
'In the even my wife finished reading of "Clarissa Harlowe", which I look upon as a very well-wrote thing though it must be allowed it is too prolix. I think the author keeps up the character of every person in all places; and as to the manner of its ending, I like it better than if it had terminated in more happy circumstances.'
