'Finished the "Whisperer or Tales & Speculations" by Gabriel Silvertongue. It was written by J. Montgomery and part of it appeared in "The Iris" in the year 1795. All the pieces are very entertaining, in so much that I do not know which I prefer above the rest. Mr Evans gave it me [bought on July 15] together with "Prison Amusements & his Trial" [by Montgomery].'
