| Evidence: | Sarah Austin to Harriet Grote, wife to George Grote, 29 August 1847:
'His [Austin's husband John] great comfort, during his tedious illness, has been Mr. Grote's
History, which Alexander Gordon brought over to him. To me it has been a heartfelt pleasure
to hear him ejaculating at intervals, "What a conscientious book!" "It is delightful!" "There is
all Grote's honesty!" and so on.' |
