Evidence: | John Wilson Croker to William Blackwood, 24 August 1819:
'I have received your last number [...] As a series of essays, critical and humorous, it is
excellent; but in this part of the world we think there is too much criticism and humour for a
magazine. In a work of this kind we expect curious facts and miscellaneous information [...]
the personal and local pleasantry which is so abundant in your magazine, and which, I have no
doubt, must be delightful in Edinburgh and Glasgow, is [italics]here[end italics] scarcely
understood, and in Ireland I have some reason to know that it is a perfect puzzle.' |
