[edit] Third person

The article states that the Duke of Wellington spoke in the third person during a debate in Parliament. However is this really the case or did Hansard at that time record debates in the third person?--Britannicus (talk) 17:38, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Sources unrelated to the article subject say that Wellington wrote some letters in the third person, so speaking in third person is only a small step from there. Road Wizard (talk) 18:05, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

I've just had a look in Butler's The Passing of the Great Reform Bill and it quotes Wellington (on page 97) saying the same as in the article except in the first person.--Britannicus (talk) 18:19, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

OK. So we have two sources in disagreement. What are the details of the Butler source, and is it reliable? Road Wizard (talk) 18:32, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Butler does not give a source.--Britannicus (talk) 18:40, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
