 Hobby-O - Editorial (The Diary of John Cam Hobhouse, edited by Peter Cochran)
Hobhouse’s diary is not, in its manuscript form, a document prepared to be published and read, and I have not treated its accidentals, or even, sometimes, its syntax, with the respect that I would give to a piece of prose by Byron.
The principle on which Hobhouse employs inverted commas is not clear: in the case of Greek names, it may indicate his uncertainty as to how to spell the name in the Latin alphabet.
Hobhouse’s small sketches are rarely either informative or of aesthetic interest, and I have indicated their presence by [sketch].
