1818

"We have had long rambles and long readings. But our choice of literature has been rather circumscribed in this out of the way place. The life of George Stephenson has been a real profit and pleasure. I have read Draper's Physiology aloud, for grave evening hours, and such books as Currer Bell's "Professor," Mde d'Auney's Mariage en Province and Miss Ferrier's "Marriage" for lighter food. The last, however, we found ourselves unable to finish, notwithstanding Miss Ferrier's high reputation. I have been getting a smattering of botany from Miss Catlow and from Dr. Thomson's little book on Wild Flowers, which have created at least a longing for something more complete on the subject." From Recollections of Jersey 1857. GEL 2: 369
