- Title
THE RE-DATING OF AN IMPORTANT JOSEPH WARTON LETTER.
- Authors
REID, HUGH
- Abstract
The author argues that a letter written by English academic and literary critic Joseph Warton to his brother Thomas Warton, published in the 1806 book "Biographical Memoirs of the late Rev. Joseph Warton D.D.," by John Wooll, is misdated. The date should be 1745, not 1746. Topics explored include the legibility of Warton's handwriting and events referred to within the letter such as the death of their father and the family's finances.
