Evidence

George Henry Lewes to Mrs. Anne Gilchrist, [?] May 1871. “Meanwhile we have been browsing among the varied pasturage of books here. We brought down a huge quantity which might have been lessened by two thirds had I known what was on the shelves. Already we are far on with the “Life of Blake” (intensely interesting).” Letters of George Henry Lewes, ed. William Baker, vol. 2, p. 159
