[edit] Serious Cleanup Needed

I came to this page via the James Anthony Froude page which I'm working on, and this has the same problems Froude used to have. The Brittanica is terribly opinionated, and so this article includes way too much opinion and unsourced analysis, about Freeman but also Froude and others. I found when working with Froude that some of the factual material was helpful, but most of the article is saturated with opinion and its best to just get rid of it and rewrite. I don't have any sources to add information at the moment, but I may purge a bit of the old. Dozenthey (talk) 21:53, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
