Robert Southey to Grosvenor Charles Bedford, c. 21-22 November 1795, 'This is a foul country. the tinners inhabit the most agreable part of it for they live underground. above it is most dreary — desolate. my Sans Culotte like Johnsons in Scotland becomes a valuable piece of timber — & I — as most dull & sullenly silent fellow. such effects has place!'
