Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'At the request of our landlady, I looked over a volume of Sermons by the eminent Unitarian minister, Dr. Price. I did this, however, out of mere courtesy: for although I have no objection to read any regular treatise on theological subjects, I have never been much disposed to read sermons. I ventured to report so favourably concerning these discourses, that the good woman was quite satisfied that she would do well to read them.'
