Additional Comments:
Taken from letter from TC to Jane Baillie Welsh dated 4th March 1823, written at 3. Moray Street. Pages 298 - 300 in this edition. Estimated date range is based on date of his previous letter to her in which he does not mention this work - it seems to be customary for them to discuss their respective reading and likely that he has started the book since he last wrote to her.
