From The Old Court Suburb, by Leigh HuntTURNING NORTHWARD
"Turning northward, out of the high road, between Upper and Lower Phillimore Place, is Horton Street, at the further house in which, on the right hand, resided for some years Doctor Thomas Frognall Dibdin, the sprightliest of bibliomaniacs. He was not a mere bibliomaniac. He really saw, though not very far, into the merit of the books he read."
From Chapter Eleven
