Evidence:

Number 24 of the [Quarterly] Review pleased Gifford very much. In writing to [John] Murray on the subject, he said [in letter of 27 January 1815] [...] ["]I will beg you to get a work for Mr. Lyall. His article, which I have looked at again, is truly excellent [...] Seriously, the sterling, manly sense of the Review pleases me very much, indeed.["]'
