Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'In a poor little struggling Unitarian periodical, the Monthly Repository [...] a youth, named Thomas Noon Talfourd, was about this time [1816] making [...] first attempts at authorship. Among his earliest papers [...] was one "On the System of Malthus" [...] It was prodigiously admired by [...] some of my family, who read it, and lived on it for awhile, but it served to mislead me about Malthus'.
