[Charlotte Bronte (as 'Currer Bell') to her publishers, Messrs Smith, Elder and Co., 1 December 1847:] 'The "Examiner" reached me to-day [...] The notice in the "Examiner" gratified me very much; it appears to be from the pen of an able man who has understood what he undertakes to criticise; of course approbation from such a quarter is encouraging to an author, and I trust it will prove beneficial to the work.'
