Evidence:
Charlotte Bronte to George Smith, 8 March 1851:
'I have read "Rose Douglas" — read it with a tranquil but not a shallow pleasure; full well do I
like it. It is a good book — so simple, so natural, so truthful, so graphic, so religious — in a
word, so Scottish in the best and kindliest sense of the term. Surely it will
succeed'.
