A New Enquiry Into the Life and Work of Dr. Burney
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2020
Extract
Having been for some years engaged in collecting Burney correspondence and other manuscripts, visiting all the places of Burney's residence in the provinces and in London, studying his published works and those of members of his family, and getting in touch with his descendants, I am glad to have an opportunity of bringing before my fellow-members of the Association both some of my findings and some of my unsolved problems. I propose very briefly to summarise Burney's career (as a mere reminder to any who have not lately been reading him or reading about him) and then to bring forward a series of particular points on which I feel myself either able to offer a little enlightenment or to be in need of asking for it.
