Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'Having been upon a tour in Scotland I did not receive your book till my arrival at York & was unwilling to answer your very obliging letter till I had read the Parish register in print. I can assure you that its appearance in this dress has increased my opinion of its beauty & as you have done me very undeservedly the honour of calling me a judge of such matters I will venture to say that it seems to me calculated to advance the reputation of the Author of the Library & the Village which to any one acquainted with those two excellent poems is saying a great deal'
