GOLDSMITH-PERCY PAPERS. Vol. III (ff. 199). Further collections of Thomas Percy for the Life of Goldsmith, viz.:-
(1) 'Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Oliver Goldsmith', by Thomas Campbell, LL.D., Chancellor of the Diocese of Clogher. Copy, by two amanuenses, with autograph additions by Campbell (ff. 19b, 45 b, 56, 57 and elsewhere), and corrections by Percy passim. Campbell was entrusted by Percy in 1790 with the composition of the Memoir, which was almost completed by September of that year (cf. his letter to Percy of 9 Sept. 1790, in Egerton MS. 2O1, f. 79), but remained unfinished. Campbell died 20 June 1795, and in 1797 the Rev. Henry Boyd (the translator of Dante) was commissioned to carry the work through. In the upshot Percy himself provided a completely recast Life. For details see Balderston, History, ff. 5-III.
