Reading Experience:

Evidence:

[Letter dated Monday 15 January 1838] Have you seen that book of Bernard's on the Constitution? Not fit for every eye. On electing monarchy and state religion he seems a visionary and a madman, but he is strong and clever against democracy. A person like Lady Stuart de Rothesay, or such as she has taught me to believe Lady Hardwicke [to be] might read this book, cull out the good, and be interested and instructed. ...'
