ABSTRACT

Mrs Emmerson wrote on 16 June 1827, ‘I am very well content with this review—it is fairly said without acrimony or jealousy—I only wish the “New Monthly” had been civil enough to have taken notice of your Book—but neither it or the “Magnet” have done so’ (Eg. 2247, fol. 297). The Literary Magnet, however, did mention the book (see Introduction, p. 12).
