| Evidence: | Comparing scripture with scripture. Reading besides Self control [by Mary Brunton] which Henrietta has borrowed from Mrs. Martin. It is formed on the model of Clarissa Harlowe; but the heroine is more immaculate than even Clarissa, & more happy finally! ? The book is well-written & interesting. A combination of fortitude & delicacy always interests me in a particular manner. |
