HCR diary 15.4.1818 at Flaxman's "Miss Denman had made a kaleidoscope"
I've noted over 50 references between 1818 and 1846 to Miss Denman or the Miss Denmans in HCR diary. Miss Denman is also mentioned in Mrs Aders' letters to Crabb Robinson of 10.1.1830 and 5.9.1842 and there is a letter from Mrs Aders to Miss Denman dated 17.12.1842 all at Dr Williams Library..
