A Record?

M.L. Clarke, Greek Studies in England 1700-1830 (Cambridge: At the University Press, 1945), p. 91 (on Thomas Kidd):
Whatever there may be of value in his notes on Dawes is swamped by a confused mass of erudition; Kidd can perhaps claim to have established a record with one of his footnotes which extends to twenty pages of close print and double columns.
The footnote occurs in Richard Dawes, Miscellanea Critica, 2nd ed. "ex recensione et cum notis aliquanto auctioribus Thomae Kidd" (London: Deighton and Whittaker, 1827), pp. 4-24.
