Evidence:
Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 23 September 1841: 'Mr Horne set me Martinuzzi to read, a day or two ago [...] Martinuzzzi is in a course of performance still [...] After the fatal first night, sundry corrections & reformations were made in the tragedy [...] The tragedy has fine things in it, but not very frequently & always broken into chips [...] Mr Horne lent me the play -- & now I have to stutter out the truth to him in all courtesy.'
