Charles Morrell : The Tales of the Genii

[Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 12 June 1766:] 'I have been reading your third volume of Peruvians with pleasure, and though the objection you made is just, it does not hurt me in these as in the Tales of the Genii. The Peruvian seems a patriarchal religion before it grew corrupted, but Christian piety with Mahometan doctrines, is "a jewel of gold in a swine's snout."'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Catherine Talbot      Print: Book
