Reading Experience:

Evidence:
George Grote to John Stuart Mill (October 1857): 'I send you Thomas's book on the provincial administration of La Bourgogne [...] I also send another book, which I got from the London Library -- the Life of Daunou. It interested me very much, as the history of one of the most intelligent, consistent, and patriotic among the conventionnels -- who is hardly known (by name even) among Englishmen [comments further on text].'
