| Evidence: | 'My mind was early formed (or half formed) by the old exploded "Spectator", and Addison's assertion that he had seen "A woman's face break out into heats as she was railing against a great man she never saw in her life" hindered my ever being a female politician, even when I became an old maid, though the two characters are as congenial as those of barber and newsmonger'. |
