Additional Comments:
Tadmor cites David Vaisey (ed), The Diary of Thomas Turner (Oxford, 1985) which reveals that Turner read many other works during the 1750s, including Locke, Smart, Martin's Magazine, The recruiting officer, The yeoman of Kent, Voyage into the Levant and Derham's Psycio-Theology.
