When she was fifteen she recorded reading the following in January: Three Generations of English Women (vols 1 and 2), Creighton's Queen Elizabeth, a biography of Thomas Carlyle (vols 1 and 2), and the first volume of a biography of Walter Scott.
In February she finished the Scott and Queen Elizabeth, and, for a little light reading, Essays in Ecclesiastical History.
In March she read a life of Coleridge, Carlyle's Life of John Sterling and Pepys.
In addition, there were works of fiction. Her father read Esmond out loud and she enjoyed THe Newcomes and The Old Curiosity Shop. Later in the year her father recited 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and she read Barchester Towers.
