Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'This last is not near so interesting as the former, there is too much of pompous fine writing in it at least attempts at it. Such papers as that declamatory one on the state of parties are not the kind of political papers that will stand the test. Besides how absurd is it to praise Madam [sic] de Stael and attack Playfair?!!'
