Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'After reading Southey's Life and Correspondence, the maintenance of that friendship [between the conservative Southey and the more radical William Taylor] appears to me [Harriet Martineau] more singular than when we young people used to catch a glimpse in the street [at Norwich] of the author of "Thalaba" and "Kehama."'
