'We have all been reading le Siege de la Rochelle. As I leave others to make their own remarks, I shall only tell you my own opinion, which is, that though I think it almost more interesting than any book I ever read, I think the methodistical stile [sic] it is written in & the whole of her reflections very dull.'
