| Evidence: | Elizabeth Carter to Catherine Talbot, 24 March 1751:
'Well according to your advice I have given Mr Richardson another reading, and confess myself to have been too much prejudiced both by the opinions of those who read it before me, and from some of his own notions which I had lately seen on another subject, and that the Paper itself, if my head had not been full of those when I read it, might have appeared to much greater advantage.' |
