Sir Francis Knight to John Murray, 5 March 1839: 'What is most extraordinary is the article in my favour which lately appeared in the Globe. That paper, after defending me, says that my "Narrative" will be a "useful appendix to Lord Durham's Report" -- a butcher's knife sticking in a pig's throat might just as much be called "a useful appendix."'
