Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'This evening I heard a lecture of a work made by Mr de Bressac which is the description of all the murders and horrors committed in France during the Rebellion. It is easily supposed that such a lecture is not at all agreeable especially to young folks. Indeed I found it well wrote but it was cruel to oblige to hear all them massacres'.
