Note 7 — Chapter XX · “TO PUT A MAN IN PRISON FOR A YEAR OR TWO DOES NOT KILL HIM.”
Reading edition
“You will readily imagine that the sentence of our friend was very grievous indeed to me. Everybody that I have seen, even Mr. C.’s enemies, declare it to be too severe. I hope and trust it will not, however, damp his ardour.… I was very glad to see, by the last Register, that Mr. Cobbett’s spirit is by no means cowed.”—J. Swann to J. Wright, July 13 and 20, 1810.
