Note This criticism of the English character, written in the form of a translation from the French, prompted the anonymous animadversion "Gallus Castratus, An answer to a slanderous pamphlet called The character of England." Evelyn in turn replied in the third edition of A character of England in: "A letter in vindication of this character, against the sordid reproaches of Gallus Castratus": (p. [3-9]) cf. Dictionary of national biography; William Upcott, ed. The miscellaneous writings of John Evelyn.
