There is, in fact, almost a century's worth of compellingly solid evidence from 1726 to 1820 to support precisely that conclusion and that conclusion only - even Feltham in 1802 agreed that it "obtained the name porter" because it was "very suitable for porters and other working people".Martyn Cornellhttp://zythophile.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-15356462685197954682012-01-03T09:58:10.097-08:002012-01-03T09:58:10.097-08:00Horst Dornbusch being cited as a reliable source i...Horst Dornbusch being cited as a reliable source in an encyclopaedia.
