| Evidence: | 'As to books, we (in this house) are very old-fashioned; and I am only now indulging in Froude's "Elizabeth". I did not mean to read it, - being disgusted by his dishonest treatment of evidence in his "Henry": but the review notices tempted me at last; and I find "Elizabeth" extremely entertaining, - however provoking'. |
