It is not likely that a person who is ignorant of what almost everybody knows can know that of which almost everybody is-ignorant. We did not open this book with any wish 25 to find blemishes in it. We have made no curious researches. The work itself, and a very common knowledge of literary and political history, have enabled us to detect the mistakes which we have pointed out, and many other mistakes of the same 30 kind. We must say, and we say it with regret, that 11. 405. we do not consider the authority of Mr. Croker, unsupported by other evidence, as sufficient to justify any writer who may follow him in relating a single anecdote or in assigning a date to a singl...
