Evidence: | 'I hope, that considering the thickness of the Volumes, and the impossibility of reading any work of Miss Edgeworth's with the carelessness and haste a common Novel may be skimmed over with, I shall not be thought to have detained "Patronage" a [underlined] very[end underlining] unreasonabe time. I thank you most cordially for the loan. Nobody more thoroughly venerates the admirable Author than I do - And in this last work, she really has excelled herself! Every young man ought particularly to study it - but it contains many hints useful and good for all ages, conditions, and characters. She is the pride of Englsh female writers - and I do positively believe, the most useful author, whether male or female, now existing'. |
