Evidence:

Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 30 August 1842: 'Romilly's memoirs have interest [...] Not that I am an enthusiast about [italics]him[end italics] [...] it is wonderful & chilling to me, his unconsciousness, -- apparent at least & unbroken to the observation, by voice or sign, throughout these memoirs, -- of the Spiritual Realities beyond his humanity. Is it not so? I think it was my impression.'
