C. BRONTE, _August_ 3, 1830
As each volume contains from sixty to a hundred pages, and the size of
the page lithographed is rather less than the average, the amount of the
whole seems very great, if we remember that it was all written in about
fifteen months. So much for the quantity; the quality strikes me as of
singular merit for a girl of thirteen or fourteen.
