Evidence: | 'Mrs Barber, whose Name, at her earnest request, I omitted in my first Volume, and who was the Lady I mentioned to have been with me, at my first interview with the Dean at Dr [italics] Delany [end italics]'s Seat, was at this time writing a volume of Poems, some of which I fancy might, at this Day, be seen in the Cheesemongers, Chandlers, Pastry-Cooks, and Second-hand Booksellers Shops: however, dull as they were, they certainly would have been much worse, but that Doctor [italics] Delany [end italics] frequently held what he called a [italics] Senatus Consultum [end italics], to correct these undigested Materials.' |
