Evidence:
Elizabeth Barrett to James Martin, 6 February 1843: 'Do you know that the royal Boz lives close to us -- three doors from Mr Kenyon in Harley Place? The new numbers appear to me admirable, & full of life & blood .. whatever we may say to the thick rouging & extravagance of gesture. There is a beauty, a tenderness, too, in the organ-scene'.
