Latham treated him, ‘but his spirits were gone, and his heart broken’ from the widespread suspicion ‘respecting his concurrence, or even connivance, at his son’s literary fraud’. ‘Yet I have the strongest testimony (and in justice to his memory I think myself here called upon, since I have the opportunity, to record it as his deathbed declaration) that he was totally ignorant of the deceit, and was equally a believer in the authenticity of the manuscripts as those which were even the most credulous’ (pp. 175-76).</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_5547697" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
