Hi listers Made good use of the Times newspaper free trial, and proved my Francesco MOSCATI was in Britain before his supposed arrival 1831. He advertised for pupils in The Times in 1818 and 1819. On the same page was another advertisement from a Mr VERONI, Professor of Italian Language. He advised his clients that he had moved address to 107 Mount Street, Grosvenor Square. Hope this helps someone, if not Ruth can keep it for records! Shane In Cairo --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today!
