Evidence

1861-11-05: "5. Read Cicero de Officiis, and began Petrarch's letters. Walked with G. into town, and looked at old books. Dreadfully depressed about myself and my work." Diary 1861-1877 104
1861-11-29: "25-29. This week I have read a satire of Juvenal, some of Cicero's "De Officiis", part of Epictetus' Enchiridion, two cantos of Pulci, part of the Canti Carnascialeschi, and finished Manni's Veglie Piacevole, besides looking up various things in the classical antquities and peeping into Theocritus." Diary 1861-1877 105
