Mr Barlow : [letters to his wife]

'Delighted with some of her husband's letters, [Mrs Barlow] has exultingly shewn them to me; and, though I took care not to let her see it, I was almost disgusted with the tender passages which afforded her so much satisfaction, because they were turned so prettily that they looked more like the cold ingenuity of the head than the warm overflowings of the heart.'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Mary Wollstonecraft      Manuscript: Letter
