| Evidence: | 'My friend had a good deal to do in order to be prepared for his approaching voyage. While he was attending to these matters, I usually remained at home and read in such books as I found at hand. Among these was a copy of Mr. Hoole's translation of Tasso's "Jerusalem Delivered", which poem I now read for the first time, and with much interest.' |
