Talk:Robert Walpole (classical scholar)

Dr Hume
Probably John Robert Hume. ODNB is no help, but confirms he was in Egypt in 1801. Needs more work. Charles Matthews (talk) 21:22, 17 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Seems conclusively shown by sources and a snippet . Sources for the History of Cyprus: English texts, Frankish and Turkish periods p. 134 says John Robert Hume or Joseph Hume, but Hume, Joseph (DNB00) makes it clear enough Joseph Hume would have been in India.

 * There is actually an internal reference to "Dr. John Hume". And a further reference in a work by Clarke to "Mr. (now Dr.) John Hume, the skilful surgeon of [the Ceres]". Charles Matthews (talk) 15:57, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
