Evidence: | Harriet Martineau to 'Mr Atkinson', 7 November 1847: 'Tomorrow morning I begin upon my (necessary) sketch of the history of Egypt; and in preparation I have been reading again Heeren and Warburton [...] I cannot but dissent from their inferences [...] For instance, Warburton declares that rulers have ever strenuously taught the people the doctrines of a future life, and reward and punishment, without believing them'. |
