HCR diary 12.12.1821 at Aders "I found the party all in raptures with the performance on the violin of a Mr Mori who they all extolled to the skies"   "Mori has the look of a man of talent - Burrel says he is only a fine performer and stops short of genius and is not to be compared with Philippi (right name?)"

Nicolas Mori (DNB 1796/7-1839)

24.12.1810 write to Fairly on Morison

HENRY ROBERT MORLAND (1716x19-1797)

CURRENT TEXT "(1716x19-1797), painter and engraver, the son of the genre painter George Henry Morland (d.1789) of St James's Square, London, was born on 6 October 1716 or in 1718 or 1719.
