| Evidence: | 'I happened to open Madame de Stael's "Allemagne", and passed the whole night in reading that delightful work over again. The great charm in all her writings is, that they are her own thoughts, set down with all the force of home-felt truth; and any person who has had the gratification of living in intimacy with this celebrated woman, must be aware that in reading her works they are holding conversation, as it were, with herself.' |

| Journal entry is dated 20th January and year seems likely to be 1820 or 1821 as Queen Caroline's death follows soon after and some nearby entries are dated 1820. Bury had read this before. |
