Evidence:
From George Grote's diary, kept for his fiancee Harriet Lewin (January 1819): 'Rose at 9 [...] Mr. Bury brought me Ricardo's pamphlets this day. Between 4 and 5 I set to and read his Pamphlet on the depreciation of our paper currency. Dined at 1/2 past 5; played on the bass; read some more of Ricardo -- his reply to Mr. Bosanquet, which is most able [...] spent the evening in going on with my "thoughts," looking at some parts of Xenophon and Arsitotle.'
