| Evidence: | 'Sterne has published two little volumes, called, "Sentimental Travels". They are very pleasing, though too much dilated, and infinitely preferable to his tiresome "Tristram Shandy", of which I never could get through three volumes. In these there is great good nature and strokes of delicacy.' |
