Notes: "In 1808 he [Knight] printed privately fifty copies (London, 8vo) of his 'Carmina Homerica, Ilias et Odyssea'. This consists of Prolegomena, the text being added in the later edition of 1820. 8vo. His object was to restore the text to its supposed original condition, and he introduced the digamma and various early forms."--Dict. nat. biog., v. 31, p. 259
