| Evidence: | [Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 16 October 1768, during a visit to the Cornwall family:]
''We found them here reading Mosheim. They are in the second volume, which we read in the evenings; and I have got the first in my room here studying it with great pleasure.'
Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 23 October 1768:
'Mosheim has really convinced me that the desart [sic] unsociable system is a very wrong and a false one. In the main he seems a very sensible and candid writer -- now and then we differ, and I grumble over my book.' |
