Reading Experience:
Evidence:
'A most striking book, & gives abundant food for thought & admiration, one of those which to read is an epoch for the mind… I think the whole book calculated to be of great use both to invalids & still more to those who are with them, it is so searching & so ennobling; at the same time there is a good deal of pride and sterness, perhaps of self-sufficiency which seem s the besetting taint of her line of opinions, & she presents rather an appalling idea of pain.'
