| Evidence: | Wednesday, 4 July 1827:
'Read De Vere the rest. It is well written in point of language and sentiment but has too little action in it to be termd a pleasing Novel. Every thing is brought out by dialogue, or worse, through the medium of the author's own reflections, whiich is the clumsiest of all expedients.' |
