‘My dear Rogers,—I cannot tell you how anxious I am, and all of us, to
hear that you are not injured by this cursed accident. It is almost worth being
ill to have so universal a feeling expressed as prevails. Make your people give
me an answer.
Henry Peter Brougham, first baron Brougham and Vaux (1778-1868)
Educated at Edinburgh University, he was a founder of the Edinburgh
Review in which he chastised Byron's Hours of Idleness; he
defended Queen Caroline in her trial for adultery (1820), established the London University
(1828), and was appointed lord chancellor (1830).
Samuel Rogers (1763-1855)
English poet, banker, and aesthete, author of the ever-popular Pleasures of Memory (1792), Columbus (1810), Jaqueline (1814), and Italy (1822-28).
