George looks happy; and so he should! I have just uploaded well over 200 manuscript pages from his personal copy-books, with many more to come over the next few days.
Most of the editors of Chatterton tend to look down on George as an uneducated buffoon who fiddled too much with Chatterton's works.
Well he did, that much is true, but he was catering to the taste of his customers by further antiquating some of the words.
I've said enough, if you want more go to https://www.thomaschatterton.com/
OK, I've not said enough, not by a long chalk, what you see on the website about George Symes Catcott is just the start. I will be uploading every transcript page from his copy-books, including his letters. A more interesting character than George would be hard to find!
