Evidence:

Lord Strangford to John Wilson Croker, 30 July 1853: 'You must think me an ungrateful brute not to have given you signe de vie on the subject of the last Quarterly beyond my brief acknowledgement of your kindness in sending me the revised sheets before its publication. 'On Tuesday, the 19th inst. I was stuck on a confounded Railway Committee in the House of Lords, and I have been nailed to my green morocco chair at the rate of seven hours per diem ever since [...] 'The article is quite admirable, and a model in the art of unmasking [...] I am glad, however, that you do not publish the supplementary pages [...] it would have been scarcely compatible with your dignity.'
