THE BENTS IN THREE EASY STEPS!
“None but scientific enquirers like Darwin or Newton, men who discover by observation of Laws of Nature that were not understood before their time, or men who, like my poor friend Theodore Bent, who has recently died in the prime of life, discover old and valuable facts which the world, even the antiquarian and learned world, has forgotten, in inscriptions of which the key seemed entirely lost, really place themselves in a position from which they may succeed in adding to the sum of human knowledge.” (Anonymous review of ‘The Sultan and His Subjects’, by Richard Davey, in Country Life, June 12th, 1897. p. 650, June 12th, 1897 [Bent died on 5 May 1897])
