Evidence:
'Sunday Oct 31st [...] Get up at nine. Breakfast. Read a Canto of Queen Mab & Louvet's Memoirs. I am much interested in Louvet -- but like all French men he is so intolerably full of himself & never lets the reader find out the merit he may possess [goes on to discuss this text further, before recording activities later in day] [...] Sit up till eleven reading Louvet's Memoirs. I never remember be more interested in any book [sic]. So many fine instances of individual republican spirits displayed -- so many generous Women -- such constancy in misfortune.'
