| Evidence: | Robert Southey to Charles Watkin Williams Wynn, 9 August 1797: 'I have got learnt much military knowledge from a history of Edward 3rd. by old Joshua Barnes, who, Bentley said, knew as much Greek as an Athenian cobbler. did you ever see the book? it is a large folio, so minute as almost to make me amends for the want of Froissard: & I expect to be very accurate in my costume, but if this merit be not pointed out by explanatory notes it will be lost, for the Reviews did not discover my blunders...' |
