Stephenson:Neal:Quicksilver:308:Richard Comstock

From the Quicksilver Metaweb.

The remark which Stephenson attributes here to John Comstock at Richard Comstock's funeral, was in fact written by John Evelyn as a comment upon the death of Lord Sandwich (The Command of the Ocean, A Naval History of Britain 1649-1815 by N.A.M. Rodger, page 86). RussellBlatcher@dsl.pipex.com
