Note 101 — V

There is a series of 26 documents (Registry MSS 33. 6. 47-72) dealing with the Fenner-James dispute and the account given here is mainly based on them. Access to these has made it possible to supplement and correct one or two points in Bowes's Notes (pp. 315, 316). The account of the partnership given in Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, II, 721, is inaccurate in some details. Ged's own story of his career (which it is difficult sometimes to reconcile either with that of Fenner or of the brothers James) is given in Biographical Memoirs of William Ged, London, 1781, and Newcastle, 1819.
