Evidence

1856-07-05: "We have hunted two or three times in St. Catherine's caverns this week, and have found in addition to former spoils, a solitary Ascidian, two Eolids, and a specimen of Cellularia Avicularia, in which the Birds' heads were very active while the rest of the Polype appeared dead. The weather has been delicious every day, but G. having hurt his foot, we have not been able to take long walks. I have continued reading Milne Edwards aloud, and have also read Harriet Martineau's article on Missions in the Westminster, and one or two articles in the National. Reading to myself Harvey's Sea-side Book, and "The Lovers' Seat"." Diary 1854-1861 62
1856-08-02: Reviewed in “The Lover’s Seat” within the Leader, vol. 7, issue 332, pp. 735-6.
