| Evidence: | Sunday 9 April 1826:
'Lockhart's Review -- Don't like his article on Sheridan's Life. There is no breadth in it, no
general views -- the whole flung away in smart but party criticism [...] he lets himself too
easily into that advocatism of stile which is that of a pleader not a judge or a critic and is
particularly unsatisfactory to the reader.' |
