| Evidence: | From Elizabeth Missing Sewell's Journal, 16 September 1845, at 3 Park Villas, Richmond ('Visit to a friend, Miss Hooper.'):
'We had a wet day yesterday, and amused ourselves with reading aloud "The Life of Stephen Langton" in [italics]The Lives of the English Saints[end italics] [...] It is well written and interesting, but I cannot go with it. Thomas a Becket is no saint to my mind, and I dislike the uncalled-for hits at the Reformation.' |
