Leonard Horner : Memoirs and Correspondence of Francis Horner, M.P.

'I hope you like Horner's "Life". It succeeds extremely well here. It is full of all the exorbitant and impracticable views so natural to young men at Edinburgh; but there is great order, great love of knowledge, high principle and feelings, which ought to grow and trive in superior minds'.

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Sydney Smith      Print: Book

  

Leonard Horner : Memoirs and Correspondence of Francis Horner, M.P. (volume I)

Elizabeth Barrett to John Kenyon, mid-March 1843: 'Here is the first volume of Horner -- thank you! It is very interesting -- but he seems to me to have had too wavering a will, or rather too many objects, .. to be a great man.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Elizabeth Barrett      Print: Book

  

Leonard Horner : Memoirs and Correspondence of Francis Horner, M.P. (volume II)

Elizabeth Barrett to John Kenyon, mid-March 1843: 'This Mr Horner is very noble & strong -- & I like him better, my dear cousin, as a whole politician .. as he gathers himself into one slowly with all his energy & strength [...] And then what an admirable letter Sydney Smith's is, in the appendix -- quite perfect in its kind I think.'
