Evidence:

Harriet Countess Granville to her sister, Lady Georgiana Morpeth, from The Hague (June 1824): 'What a pretty book Captain Hall's is [...] George's verses gave me the greatest pleasure. I prefer the first, which I think beautiful. The last are full of soul and subject; but I think there is a little confusion dans la marche.'
