The Life of John Milton, Volume 5 (of 7), 1654-1660

CHAPTER II
7/279

(Vol.IV.p.

588).

This information, Ulac has little doubt, Milton has received from a particular London bookseller, whom Ulac believes also to have been the real publisher of Milton's book, though Newcome's name appears on it.

It is all a tissue of lies, however, and Ulac will meet it by a sketch of his own life since he first dealt in books.
