Evidence: | [Charlotte Bronte to Ellen Nussey, in postscript to letter of 7 April 1840:]
'Mr [William] Weightman [curate at Haworth] has given another lecture at the Keighley Mechanic's [sic] Institute, and Papa has also given a lecture -- both are spoken of very highly in the Newspaper and it is mentioned as a matter of wonder that such displays of intellect should emanate from the village of Haworth "situated amongst the bogs and mountains and until very lately supposed to be in a state of semi-barbarism" such are the words of the newspaper.' |
