From George Grote's diary, kept for his fiancee Harriet Lewin (1819): 'Mr Bury brought me Ricardo's pamphlets this day. Between 4 and 5 I set to and read his Pamphlet on the depreciation of our paper currency. Dined at 1/2 past 5; played on the bass; read some more Ricardo -- his reply to Mr. Bosanquet, which is most able [...] spent the evening in going on with my "thoughts,' looking at some parts of Xenophon and Aristotle.'
