Serious query against adding the references to Thomas Jefferson.
1. Is this the right John Taylor? In 1798, this John Taylor would have been a young man in England. Thomas Jefferson was Vice President of the USA.
2. There's no citation.
3. This John Taylor's main claim to faim is as the man who published a number of Romantic Poets, Keats, Clare etc. So to describe him as "John Taylor meets Thomas Jefferson (1781-1864)", even if this did happen, would be a bit like defining George Orwell's significance as having been to the same school as Princes William and Harry.
I hope you don't mind, but I've removed this cross reference. If it is correct, it's interesting but could perhaps be inserted lower down as an 'interesting extra fact about John Taylor's life.
