Evidence:

‘Here, Hal, you see the influence you possess as a Tremensian; no one, not even Bingley, would have thought [of?] continuing the work had it not been for your panegyric. I may at least thank you for my fame, such as it is. Dear Snouderumpater charged me with being rather ungracious, if not ungrateful, in my remarks on that business. Nothing could be farther from my feelings. In fact, I had then only very slightly run over the article at a friend’s house; on reperusing it carefully, I find more of the Ars celare artem, more proper fault-finding, than I at first observed. ...’

Additional Comments:

Letter addressed to Hartley's cousin, Henry Nelson Coleridge, at No 21. Downshire Hill, Hampstead, London, dated 11 January [postmark 1836]. Hartley is discussing his cousin’s very favourable review of his Lives of Distinguished Northerns (1833). Editors’ footnote: ‘Hartley remarks elsewhere: “The very panegyerical, not to say puffing article in the Quarterly about the Worthies had the effect of inducing Bingley (the Bookseller) to send me an invitation to resume the work...”’
