George Shelvocke reference should be to Shelvocke Jr.[edit]
At the moment, the link to George Shelvocke refers to Shelvocke sr. (d. 1742), whereas it was, in fact, his son (also named George Shelvocke) who contributed to the Universal History. According to his tombstone, Shelvocke jr. was the Secretary of the General Post Office and a Fellow of the Royal Society, and died in 1760. He does not have a separate wiki page, on account of there being little other information about him; but perhaps Shelvocke's page should reflect this, or a note should be added here? 71.220.15.26 (talk) 06:45, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
