| Evidence: | From Elizabeth Missing Sewell's Journal, September 1846:
'We went into London one day [...] Burns's is a dull shop decidedly. You see the same books time after time [...] It is an inconvenient shop too. No place to sit down at, and the books crowded too close to the door. I took up [italics]Chollerton[end italics] (a Church tale) and skimmed parts through the uncut leaves and was not fascinated. It seemed strained and the fasting was brought forward prominently, and there seemed too much womanish humility.'
