I have changed the word "sinecure" to "post". Gill's biography asserts that it was not a sinecure. I don't know whether it is worth adding that both Shelley and Browning, associating his change of political views with his acceptance of the post, wrote poems which were simultaneously appreciative and condemnatory. Again, it might be mentioned that he never entirely went back on his early positive views of the French Revolution. But that might be giving too much weight to a certain aspect of his life and work. --[[User:Martin Wyatt|Martin Wyatt]] 19:28, 20 November 2012 (UTC) | I have changed the word "sinecure" to "post".

I think I have now done all the work on this article that I am going to do, making some additions and minor corrections, and adding references. Parts of the article remain unreferenced. I don't know whether it might be considered appropriate for approval. Since it seems to be the fashion to make comparisons with Wikipedia, I will say that it is better organised than the Wikipedia equivalent. --[[User:Martin Wyatt|Martin Wyatt]] ([[User talk:Martin Wyatt|talk]]) 19:53, 12 September 2018 (UTC) | |||

No sinecure
