Evidence:

Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, mid-February 1840: 'Did you ever hear how poor Mr Reade has compromised himself with Fraser .. in the magazine? [...] how Fraser reviewed his poetry savagely last December or January, & published at full length still more savagely divers applications & submissions which the poet had addressed to his private tender mercies [...] It made my blood run cold with sympathy for the poor poet when I read it first.'
