Evidence: | [Anne Donnellan to Samuel Richardson, 14 July 1750:]
'I am also much obliged to you for the little book, which seems composed with a pious spirit; but I own calling them Psalms disappointed me. I never met with any composition, either as paraphrase or imitation of those divine compositions, that I liked; they come so infinitely short of the true sublime, that I should rather chuse a mere human composition in any other shape.' |
