Evidence:

'I breakfasted with Lord Lansdowne a few days ago, & we talked much about you. He recollected having met you at our house & said that he shd be very glad to do so again... He puts Paul Ferroll very high indeed among modern novels, & the Poems, not only high but at the Top of modern poetry...Lord Lansdowne's opinion is of so much value, that I thought I ought to write...'
