Excerpt from An Answer to the Misrepresentations: Contained in an Article on the Life of Clarendon, in No CXXIV of the Quarterly Review
And what, then, is the important point on which this zealous champion of Lord Clarendon's fame, who declines defending the most prominent acts and principles of his administration, has deemed more worthy to be selected, on which to ground his elabo rate defence? It is the charge of inaccwracy, not falsehood, as the Reviewer tries to pervert and construe it, but mere accidental, unintentional in accuracy in the statement of circumstances which he he could have had no interest in misrepresenting. His assailants say that he. Is an inaccurate historian, not unintentionally, but because he is partial. The Reviewer does not notice the more serious charge of partiality, but maintains that Lord Clarendon is not even unintentionally inaccurate that, though he confessedly was often in want of materials, and relied much on his memory, yet that, even in the relation of the most trifling particulars, he hardly ever made a mistake and that when (for example) he says a journey was commenced on the eth, and Dugdale's Diary says on the 5th, he must be right, not Dugdale.
