Evidence: | Lady Georgiana Fullerton [nee Leveson Gower] to her mother, Harriet, Countess Granville [from letter enclosed in letter of 4 April 1844 from Lady Granville to her sister Lady Carlisle]:
'I am rather angry with Charles Granville for having shown the proof sheets [of Ellen Middleton] to Lord Clarendon, and I regret for my own sake that he praises it so extravagantly. I think it is like when a new beauty appears. Instead of prepossessing people in its favour, it will make them find fault with it.' |

Charles Granville had helped to correct proofs of text (see p.378 n.2 in source). Not sure whether author of text had by this time assumed married name of Fullerton. |
