Many thanks to Karen for recommending what looks to be a great book. I looked for it on Amazon and found it was available "used" from Wey Valley Books at about two thirds the new price. I ordered it yesterday and it arrived today, in perfect condition! May I also take this opportunity to direct anyone interested in life in the ERY in the 19th century to my transcription of "The British Workman" on the GENUKI website. Regards to all, Graham, City Of York. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
