- Title
THE WHITTLE WOOD CONTROVERSY.
- Authors
Rogers, Deborah D.
- Abstract
This article focuses on several literary works. In his "Biographical, Literary, and Political Anecdotes," John Almon, the famous eighteenth-century political bookseller, advanced a similar argument, which he based on both the personal assurances and the official reports of John Pitt, who had been Surveyor of the King's Woods at the time of the incident. A previously unnoticed draft of a letter to Duke of Grafton from Almon, wherein Almon takes notice of Duke of Grafton's reaction to his Anecdotes, shows that the Duke was still concerned about this dispute as late as 1798.
