63 Canning Street, Liverpool - Explains why he doesn't like Macaulay; doesn't see how Frazer can put in both the acquittal of the Bishops and the Hastings trial as they both have the same 'old oaken rafters', the difference being that in the Hastings trial he stops and gives a history of the rafters and their cost in modern currency; the period from 1600 to 1740 is his favourite for prose.
