Author
William Sotheby is documented in Fuller’s letters (1820). One work is named, all in Letter to Timothy Fuller, and the most intensive engagement recorded is “analyzed”.
Reprints, Memoirs passages, and repeat notes within a single manuscript are shown but never counted twice. Evidence for this author is selective, not exhaustive. Methodology →
