Patrick Branwell Bronte

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. And rancorous contempt, is futile; abuse is not argument. It remains, therefore, in the interests of literary justice that Bramwell''s claim Should be carefully examined, as I have endeavoured, how ever inadequately, to examine it in the following pages, and I venture to submit the accumulated evidence which has been brought to light Since Mr. Leyland''s day to the unbiassed judgment Of my readers.
