Evidence: | Mary Russell Mitford to Elizabeth Barrett, March 1842:
'I have only read the first volume of Madame D'Arblay's "Diary." Dr Johnson appears to the
greatest possible advantage [...] and Mrs Thrale -- oh that warm heart! that lively sweetness!
My old governess knew her as Mrs Piozzi, in Wales [...] As to the little Burney, I don't like her
at all [...] A girl of the world -- a woman of the world [...] thought clearly and evidently of
nothing on this earth but herself and "Evelina."'
