An extract from a letter written by Edward Granville, the 3rd Earl St Germans, to his son (dated Aug 5, 1850) reads: "Julian Fane has just gained his gold medal at Cambridge from his best English poem. [His Mother] went down to hear him recite it. He must by all accounts be a remarkably clever young man, besides being a wonderful musician."
