[Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 7 February 1755:] 'There is a whole shoal of new books. The Centaur, well worth reading I think; Theron and Aspasia, too grave, I am afraid, to be much read; the Bishop of London's second volume of excellent Sermons; Dean Swift's poor and conceited account of his Uncle [Jonathan Swift], with some few things in it one likes to see [...] Man is a serious Paper, but a dull one.'
