Excerpt from The Daily Biographer: Consisting of Short Lives for Every Day in the Year
To get the dates quite accurate has been a matter of some difficulty, owing to discrepancies in the books consulted. For instance, four different dates are given for the birth of Linnaeus, and three for his death; three for the birth of Sir Joseph Banks; two for that of Oliver Goldsmith, with yet another one in the inscription on his tablet in Westminster Abbey. Three different dates are given for the death of Charles Lamb; and there are some thirty more instances of discrepancies. It is true that the fate of an empire does not depend on unerring accuracy in these details; they merely illustrate one of the difficulties of the monographist.
