"After my death I wish no other herald,
No other speaker of my living actions,
To keep mine honour from corruption,
But such an honest chronicler as Griffith."

-SHAKESPEARE, Henry VIII.

See Dr Johnson's letter to Mrs Thrale, dated Ostick, in Skie, September 30, 1773- "Boswell writes a regular journal of our travels, which, I think, contains as much of what I say and do as of all other occurrences together-for such a faithful chronicler is Griffiths.'”
