Evidence: | Thursday, 23 February 1826:
'Read a little volume called the OMEN very well written, deep and powerfull language [...] it is
[John Gibson] Lockhart or I am strangely deceived -- it is passd for Wilson's though, but
Wilson has more of the falsetto of assumed sentiment, less of the depth of gloomy and
powerful feeling.' |
