Elizabeth Barrett to Richard Hengist Horne, 29 May 1843: 'The other day I took up the Foreign Quarterly of last January in which is your Chinese paper, & fell upon another article called "Turkish travellers" which I had never fallen upon before. Some things in it are so like you, and some other things are so unlike [...] Surely the style is yours -- or I am bewitched, which is possible too.'
