Evidence: | From Elizabeth Missing Sewell's Journal, 19 [sic: should be 13] August 1850, during stay with the Rev. G. Cooke, Cubington:
'I have been reading [italics]Southey's Life[end italics]; it does me a great deal of good. His life in a book [...] [has] helped me more than any sermon. Southey's hard work and pecuniary anxieties come home to me. His plodding on, longing to be free; and yet his perfect contentment.'
