| Evidence: | Robert Southey to John May, 4 June, 1797: 'The books with me are more than I wish when moving, & fewer than I want when settled. whilst I was packing them up, a friend brought me Robinsons Ecclesiastical Researches. he has as much wit as Jortin & yet never ceases to be serious, & with erudition at least equal to Mosheim, possesses a candour & discrimination which Mosheim wanted. have you read George Dyers life of Robert Robinson? it is the history of a very extraordinary man told with infinite simplicity by one as extraordinary as himself.'
