Evidence
1861-11-29: "25-29. This week I have read a satire of Juvenal, some of Cicero's "De Officiis", part of Epictetus' Enchiridion, two cantos of Pulci, part of the Canti Carnascialeschi, and finished Manni's Veglie Piacevole, besides looking up various things in the classical antquities and peeping into Theocritus." Diary 1861-1877 105
1861-11-30: "30. The last day of November! I have a tiresome little cough, which makes me rather low, and dull. Read Epictetus, and the sixth Satire of ]uvenal, with part of a vol. of the Osservatore Fiorentino. In the evening we had Wilkie Collins, Mr. Pigott, and Mr. Spencer, and talked, without any admixture of music." Diary 1861-1877 105
1862-04-02: "2. Better this morning, writing with enjoyment. At the 77th page. Read Juvenal this morning, and Nisard - "Poetes Latins de la Decadence" in the evening." Diary 1861-1877 111
