Evidence: | 'Fan Arnold lends me the "Spectator", and at first I thought it a treat in its way: but I am getting as tired of it as some other people are. Its smartness is degenerating into impertinence very fast; and its insolence is so absurd in partnership with its incredible ignorance of the world and of social matters'. |
