In Byron's Journal (14 November 1813-19 April 1814), 5 December 1813, on pleasure at learning of his works' popularity in the USA: "The greatest pleasure I ever derived, of this kind, was from an extract, in Cooke the actor's life, from his journal, saying that in the reading-room of Albany, near Washington, he perused English Bards and Scotch Reviewers."

1 December 1884, from Canford:
'While Enid [daughter] was here she spent a good deal of time making a miniature drawing in
water colours of one of the fine pictures in the drawing room, and while she drew I read to
her one of those amusing gossiping letters of Horace Walpole on my subjects [i.e. ceramics
connoisseurship], about which I have all the Hogarth and all the Wedgwood books here [...]
Besides that I have done very little except read some part of Cooke's Memoirs, and I am now
amusing myself with Froude's Carlyle.'
