Notes and attribution research

Lacking funds to obtain a sizarship at St John’s College, Cambridge, Knowles wrote to Southey, sending him the poem entitled ‘The Three Tabernacles,’ better known as ‘Stanzas in Richmond Churchyard,’ which he had composed on 7 October 1816. Southey, with his usual generosity, promised £10 a year, and obtained a further £20 from Earl Spencer and Samuel Rogers (ODNB). (AC)
