Evidence:

George Grote to G. C. Lewis, 6 November 1862: 'I send you herewith a letter and pamphlet which was forwarded to me by an unknown correspondent. I read the pamphlet with much interest, and think you will be pleased with it also. Mr. Irving is right in saying that his narrative illustrates very forcibly the myth-creating propensities of the human mind'.
