Evidence:
'I was ... thankful for the monthly and quarterly magazines that lay on the tables of the library, for their instructive articles were equal to anything I could have heard in the lecture-room. From the theological entanglements of Hibbert's Journal, I passed to the more worldly regions of the English Review, on to the literary vastness of the Edinburgh, through the critical orbs of the Criterion, and completed the circle with many others that improved my knowledge of the -isms and -ologies that were constantly under the eye of speculation.'
