John Ramsay to James Graham-Clarke, 14 October 1826: 'Some time ago I sent a Copy of the little work of your highly-gifted, elegant-minded Niece [Elizabeth Barrett] to a literary character in Edinburgh well known to [Francis] Jeffrey. I did not hear from him till yesterday [...] I shall transcribe parts of his letter to me. '"I perused with much pleasure the Essay on Mind &ca. The whole I consider an excellent production when the age of the Author [20] is taken into account. But I have hesitated to present the book to the Edinr Reviewers [...] The subject "Mind" is greatly too extensive, and instead if being exhausted the different departments of the subject are scarcely noticed [goes on to discuss in great, critical detail]"'.
