"He was of liberal views" is all that remains of The Short Biographical Dictionary in the present version. I.e. there is nothing to justify listing it in the references anymore. That's why I originally removed it. However, one can compare the diffs on the first creation, which was a dump from Cousins, and the present, to see this. Now, I'm on record as loathing that Dictionary (it may be PD, but it's also worthless), but I removed it from the references here because, simply put, it isn't referred to nor drawn from at all. The article as it stands now relies entirely upon the Ox. Dict. for its facts and a Wikipedia editor for its wording, organization, and presentation. Geogre 02:48, 2 October 2005 (UTC)Reply
