TALBOT46

Dear Talbot/.

I have enclosed two proposed inscriptions – The word restauratori is found to be quite old enough for adoption. – It is marvellously difficult to reconcile & consolidate the ideas of all parties. Some are for the names of Byron, ¹ <Jones?> & Sheridan ² – instead of Homer & C^o Others object on the grounds of Byron & C^o not being of Butlerian origin – others again like my friend Spencer Perceval, object on moral & religious grounds, to the appearance of the names of Byron & Sheridan. –
