We are unable to collectprobably in London
Sir Thomas Parkyns was born about the year 1678whether at his paternal seat, Bunny Park, Nottinghamshire, or in London, we are unable to collectprobably in London, as we find him early at Westminster school, wrestling his way through the classics, under the celebrated Dr. Bushby. The epigrams of Martial appear, first, to have led him to turn serious thoughts towards wrestlingand he does not relish the poet the less for finding that he himself practised this healthy art after his daily prayer and family business.
