Evidence: | 'I have been, and am now, in the midst of reading Miss Edgeworth's 4th, 5th, and 6th vols of "Tales of Fashionable Life". I don't enter into disquisitions about whether they come up to or fall short of her other works, but I am most highly entertained with them. Such admirable delineation of character and such excellent tendencies one seldom sees, and her stories are interesting, not from intricacy of plot, but from exact representations of Nature...' |
