| Evidence: | [Elizabeth Carter to Catherine Talbot, 11 October 1766:]
'Fye upon you and your popish saints [...] Your whole folio [of saints' lives] is not half so well worth reading as Lloyd's Chronicle, which has often given me the comfort of seeing the archbishop [of Canterbury]'s name, and inferring because he was very busy he must be very well.' |
