'Mr Price's desire that I should have read these sheets [proofs of Price's Essay on the Modern Pronunciation of the Greek and Latin Languages] with the design of remarking on them I have obeyed with much deference to him [...] I have read them with deep interest & attention [goes on to discuss and dispute text in great depth and detail]'.

Uvedale Price to Elizabeth Barrett, 20 December 1826:
'When Luxmoore was with us, a little before he called at Hopend [sic; for Hope End, Barrett's family home], I shewed him what I had just been writing on the Charter-house mode of pronouncing [classical Greek], chiefly that of their passing over the vowel to the consonant in iambi & pyrrhics but continuing to accent them, as we do, on the first syllable: He read it with more interest than he is apt to do on such subjects, & wished me to go on with it'.

Elizabeth Barrett to Uvedale Price, c.15 April 1827:
'I have done reading your correspondence with Mr Commeline [...] I thought it odd that an
article of the Edinburgh Review should be referred to, on a philological subject; &, on looking
into the one which Mr Commeline calls the "Manual of his heresy", I was surprised to find us
accused there of ["]subverting the true metrical structure of Latin hexameters, even according
to the accentual system" by [italics]not[end italics] laying our accent on the [italics]long[end
italics] syllable, & by laying it on the short ones. The Reviewer seems confused in his
speculations'.
Century: 1800-1849 Reader/Listener/Group: Elizabeth Barrett Manuscript: Letter
James Commeline to Elizabeth Barrett, 1 December 1827:
'Together with Mr Price's book, allow me to return you my best thanks for the perusal of it. Though written [...] with great elegance & felicity of composition, it really strikes me as a
remarkable specimen of that order of architecture [...] of which all the parts are perfect in
their kind, except the foundation [goes on to criticise work in detail].'

Uvedale Price to Elizabeth Barrett, 11 December 1827:
'It gave me great pleasure to hear that you think so favorably of my Essay now that you have read the whole of it, & that what you [italics]had[end italics] read in MS., has gained by being in print.'

Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 28-29 May 1828:
"If you have not read the Essay on the Picturesque, will you let me send it to you [...] It is one of the books which I read for the sake of its style, without feeling an interest in its subject'.
