The article in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography states that "it was probably not, as previously thought, deliberately written to discredit Bohun and had only a small role in the demise of the Licensing Act [...]". So a current academic view directly contradicts Macaulay. Charles Matthews (talk) 20:06, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is some other current literature mentioned. Charles Matthews (talk) 20:09, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
