Maria Edgeworth, in _Practical Education_ (1798), notes that Peter the
Wild Boy's head, "as Mr. Wedgwood and many others had remarked, resembled
that of Socrates" (I, 63).

I know this is pretty obscure stuff, but maybe there are some HUMANISTs
out there who could direct me to discussions of Peter the Wild Boy, or to
a possible source for Wedgwood's comment (or some of the many others).

Dear Humanists,


Does anyone know of machine-reabable versions of the Early Greek
and Latin Fathers?
