I transcribed it from a copy in his own handwriting. It is not known who wrote Six more Letters to Granville Sharp, which, according to the title-page, are by Gregory Blunt. They were very generally attributed to Porson; and I have been in a bookseller's shop with him, when a person has come in, and asked for "Mr. Porson's remarks on Sharp."
