| Evidence: | Sunday, 1 June 1828:
'We reachd Carlisle at seven o' clock and were housed for the night. My books being exhausted I lighted on an odd volume of the Gentleman's Magazine, a work in which as in a pawnbroker's shop much of real curiosity and value are [sic] stowd away and conceald amid the frippery and trumpery of those reverend old gentlewomen who were the regular correspondents of the work.' |
