Coke's grandmother, Elizabeth Bond, was a granddaughter of John Elmsley, Peter's elder brother; letter by Col. Coke to the Times, 30 January 1934. Elmsley (1774-1825) was already in his mid-thirties the best Greek scholar yet produced by Oxford, and in some respects was to be compared with Porson himself.3 Rich, obese, gossipy and genial, he corresponded widely: John Franklin the ex­ plorer and Francis Jeffrey of the Edinburgh Review were alike on cordial terms with him, though Jeffrey's free-thinking later became intolerable.4 Accidents of transmission and survivalS have dictated that the letters of classical interest in the Westminster collection should be largely from the hands of J. H. Monk, C. J. Blomfield and Thomas Gaisford.	cache/grbs-8781.pdf	txt/grbs-8781.txt
