Reading Experience:
Evidence:
"It was while reading Mr Kendrick's translation from the German of 'Helon's Pilgrimage to Jerusalem',with which I was thoroughly bewitched, that I conceived, and communicated to James, the audacious idea of giving a somewhat resembling account of the Jews and their country, under the immediate expectation of the Messiah, and even in his presence, while abstaining from permitting more than his shadow to pass over the scene.""I regard that little volume witha a stronger affection than any other of my works but one;-that one being"Eastern Life".
