Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'My master - in conjunction with some friends - began to take in a newspaper, called, if I remember rightly, "Lloyd's Evening Post", and at this I sometimes got a hasty peep. At first, as was natural, I was chiefly interested with the domestic news: I took care to read about "The moving accidents by fire or flood", with an account of which a newspaper commonly abounds. But my curiosity was not long confined to these "little things". It soon led me to look at the articles of foreign intelligence...'
