Evidence: | William Gifford to John Murray, 29 September 1815:
'I have read "Pride and Prejudice [italics]again[end italics] -- 'tis very good -- wretchedly
printed, and so pointed as to be almost un-intelligible. Make no apology for sending me
anything to read or revise. I am always happy to do either, in the thought that I may be useful
to you [...]
'Of "Emma," I have nothing but good to say. I was sure of the writer before you mentioned
her. The MS., thought plainly written, has yet some, indeed many little omissions; and an
expression may now and then be amended in passing through the press. I will readily
undertake the revision.' |
