Although this source does not provide explicit evidence of reading, it seems unlikely that Conrad would have had this text in his library without ever reading it. See also fn.2 p.16 of source text for circumstantial evidence that Conrad probably read this text after first meeting the Paris based journalist Warrington Dawson, who knew Adam, in 1910. |
