Evidence:
'In the course of the summer of this year [1856] an article appeared in the pages of the "Quarterly Review," upon Mr. Grote's "History of Greece," taken collectively as a complete work. 'Among the numerous tributes which flowed in upon the author after the publication of the final volume, I recollect his being unusually impressed by the perusal of this paper in the "Quarterly." Not only at the time, but on repeated occasions, would he avow the lively satisfaction he had derived from perceiving how thoroughly his views and arguments had been understood.'
