Mistaken Identifications

One of the sons of Sir Morris Abbot called George was also an MP in the Short Parliament.

Famous quotes containing the word mistaken:
“The truth of the thoughts that are here set forth seems to me unassailable and definitive. I therefore believe myself to have found, on all essential points, the final solution of the problems. And if I am not mistaken in this belief, then the second thing in which the value of this work consists is that it shows how little is achieved when these problems are solved.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
