Reading Experience:

Evidence:

‘You probably have little time for literary labours or I should advise you to write for the Quarterly Theological. It is a very staunch, orthodox work – not ultra in politics, and seldom or never contains any thing which your character would suffer from having imputed to you. I know no other periodical, in which as a Clergyman you ought to dabble’.
