Evidence: | 1 October 1887:
'Henry [Layard, son-in-law] has given me the revises of a new book on his early travels,
which Murray is about to bring out, and I have been reading them over to make any
corrections that may strike me. I have gone through them carefully and found many errors. I
don't think Spottiswoode prints as he ought to do.' |
