| Evidence: | George Grote to George W. Norman, 26 June 1816:
'From England, in 1816, it is delightful to retire, even to Italy in its most disorganized periods. I have not yet arrived at Sismondi's second volume, as I have employed myself in deducing a short narrative of Italian transactions, from the invasion of the Lombards [...] I have always found that, in order to make myself master of a subject, the best mode was to sit down and give an account of it to myself.' |
