Friedrich Wilhelm von Humboldt : Thoughts and Opinions of a Statesman

Charlotte Bronte to James Taylor, 20 September 1849:

'I read with pleasure "Friends in Council," and with very great pleasure "The Thoughts and Opinions of a Statesman." It is the record of what may with truth be termed a beautiful mind — serene, harmonious, elevated and pure; it bespeaks, too, a heart full of kindness and sympathy. I like it much.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Charlotte Brontë      Print: Book
