Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'It being the Saturday previous to the annual meeting at the SS Library I was oblig[e]d to return, rather unwillingly, the "Life of Macklin" without having finished the volume. I have found what I have read more entertaining than I expected from the account given in the "Monthly Review" some months past.'
