From William Cowper's Letters: A Selection, edited by E. V. Lucas
MY DEAR COUSIN
"You ask me how I like Smollett's Don Quixote? I answer, well, -- perhaps better than any body's; but having no skill in the original, some diffidence becomes me."
From a letter to Lady Hesketh, dated The Lodge, May 6, 1788
