Dear Karen, Each of the state libraries and national library show they own /have access to different editions. The catalogue for each shows only basic details. May I suggest you pose your question to the "Ask a Librarian" service. For the NSW State library see: http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/services/ask/index.html Use whatever contact mode is most convenient. The librarian may be able to put you in contact with the publisher or the author. Cheers, Tony Moore (Castle Hill, NSW) @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ On 13 Jun 2012 at 19:28, Karen Hodges wrote: Date sent: Wed, 13 Jun 2012 19:28:28 +1000 From: Karen Hodges <rowantreek@gmail.com> To: AUS-NSW-SYDNEY@rootsweb.com Subject: [ANS] Paracensus Send reply to: aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com > I have been trying to find information on the editions of the paracensus > by James Donahue.
