Saturday, 23 February 1828: 'I saw at the printing office [Ballantyne's] a part of a review on Leigh Hunt's Anecdotes of Byron by Wilson. It is written with power (apparently by Professor Wilson) but with a degree of passion wihch rather diminishes the effect, for nothing can more lessen the dignity of the satirist than being or seeming to be in a passion.'
