Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'I [Harriet Martineau] sent the first copy I could get [of her two "Excise" stories, "The Jerseymen Meeting" and "The Jerseymen Parting"] to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a day and a half before he brought out his Budget. When I opened the "Times," the morning after, I was highly amused at seeing that he had made a curious alteration in his intentions about the saddle-horse duty'.
