Evidence: | Henry Hallam to George Grote, 7 December 1846:
'I have a good apology for writing to you so late about your "History" -- namely, that the
avocations of London at the one time, and a tour on the Continent afterwards, gave me no
leisure till lately to do more than look cursorily at one volume. I have now had the pleasure of
going through it, and cannot refuse myself that also of telling you how greatly I admire your
work, and of congratulating you on the very high place it entitles you to take among living
historians [comments further].' |
