| Evidence: | Lady Harriet Cavendish to her sister Lady Georgiana Morpeth (February 1803):
'I have been crying my eyes out over "le Nouveau pere de famille." I wonder I did not hear more of it, as it seems to me quite beautiful; the 3rd volume heartbreaking. I believe I am going to read "Amelie de Mansfield." They are all [italics]dying[end italics] over it and it is the general opinion that as I have read "Delphine" [by Madame de Stael] I may read anything.' |
