Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'Lillian Faithfull (b. c.1860) recalls her mother reading widely and thoroughly, making careful annotations, no day being considered satisfactory without its quota of what was known as "solid reading". Carpenter's "Mental Physiology", H. T. Buckle's "History of Civilisation", and John Seeley's "Ecce Homo" remained in Faithfull's memory as beng among the books with which they battled together ...'
