William Wordsworth to Viscount Lowther, [mid December 1819]: 'The Guardian a loyal Newspaper has found its way here. It promises well but a weekly London paper crowded with advertizements, is not likely to suit the Country. It is dated Sunday, also; this would prove an objection to its circulation in many houses in the country, especially as I observe Quack medicines, etc. etc. - advertized.'
