| Evidence: | 'In the evening I read aloud a short speech of Bright's on Ireland, delivered 20 years ago, in which he insists that nothing will be a remedy for the woes of that country unless the Church Establishment be annulled: after the lapse of 20 years the measure is going to be adopted. Then I read aloud a bit of the "Promessi Sposi", and afterwards the "Spectator", in which there is a deservedly high appreciation of Lowell's Poems'. |
