Evidence: | Sir Francis Head to John Murray, 26 June 1842:
'My son will be quite proud at receiving the [italics]first[end italics] copy of the new Quarterly,
the only one, I believe, that can go to India by to-morrow's mail [...]
'I have been peeping into it, and if the gaudy debauchery of Paris, as detailed in Art. No. 1, be
contrasted with the dark picture described by Lord Ashley, and alluded to in Art. 6, it must, I
think, be admitted that the [italics]outside[end italics] of this world has no more right to be
shocked at the immorality of the [italics]inside[end italics], than the pot, many years ago, had
to complain of the complexion of the kettle.' |
