| Evidence: | Elizabeth Carter to Catherine Talbot, 5 March 1755:
'I read that part of the Bishop of Norwich's quarto which relates to the Stoic philosophy, but met with nothing there that seems of any consequence to add to the Introduction [?to her translation of Epictetus]. The turn which that author gives to the doctrine of the Stoics is a very severe one.' |

| Catherine Talbot had written to Elizabeth Carter on 23 January 1755: 'Dr Dalton [i.e a volume of his poetry] is coming, but he has waited this last fortnight for some volumes of Stoic philosophy, which the Bishop of Norwich has lent me for your service, as he thinks there is the best account given in them that he has any where met with' (see p.194 in source). |
