| Evidence: | 'In the evening read principally papers in the "Adventurer" and Rogers' "Pleasure of Memory"; thought less of the papers in the "Adventurer" than I had done formally, i.e. forty years ago or more, and less than I had been led to expect of Rogers. Went to bed about one, after beginning "Spanish Grammar".' |
