Evidence: | [Marginalia]: a drawing on a blank page at end of text relates to the topic. It is an unflattering portrait of a cleric and titled 'Brother Carey' [ie William Carey orientalist and missionary?] and with the inscription 'Had much enjoyment today wrestling with G..d! [deleted]'. A further inscription is illegible. |
