Harriet Martineau, Journal, 15 January 1838: 'Probably the greatest day of my year. While I was reading one article in the twenty-first volume of the Quarterly, on Greek philosophy, there being an article in the same number on Hayti, it flashed across me that my novel must be on the Haytian revolution, and Toussaint my hero.'
