Evidence
1861-08-30: "30. Read Tiraboschi and Manni's Life of Burchiello, copying extracts. Walked with G. to the Zoological Gardens, and came home with an inclination to headache. Barbara came in the evening." Diary 1861-1877 101
1861-11-08: "8. Read Politian's Letters and Petrarch's. -Then Corniani and Manni. In the afternoon went shopping with G. to Redmayne's and then to the London Library where I looked through Selden's Titles of Honour and brought away Monteil, XVth century." Diary 1861-1877 104
1862-02-19: "This evening I read aloud to G. again, at his request the first 45 pages of my romance, Charlie also being present. The rain has been constant all day. Nevertheless we have been to the British Museum, and I have picked some details from Manni's life of Bartolommeo Scala- also from Borghini's Discorsi, about the simplicity of the Florentine table equipage. I have lately read again with great delight Mrs Browning's "Casa Guidi Windows". It contains amongst other admirable things a very noble expression of what I believe to be the true relation of the religious mind to the Past." Diary 1861-1877 109
