Elizabeth Barrett to Lady Margaret Cocks, ?4 November 1835: 'Dr Brown's philosophy! No philosophy is like it. Poetry knows the place of his soul [...] I have gone thro' every sentence of his "philosophy of the human mind", making clear to mine that he is so. With regard to cause and effect, I do not believe him, -- and on some other questions'.
