| Evidence: | 'Last night I sat down to read Cobbett, and very cold it was, but I was left by myself at the fire-side; I never have a great fire, I would rather have a little one and sit very close to it, which I always do when I have an opportunity - Cobbett does belabour Mr Canning and his furies.... He (Cobbett) still augurs evil from the Papersystem, how far he is right time will determine.' |
