I need help from someone more familiar with London libraries than myself. (I have used PRO, SOG, and Guildhall on earlier visits) In my research into General William John ARABIN I have come across references to him taking part in plays- in one case 'before their majesties at Richmond' and in 'The Prince of Wales Company of Comedians' (c1788). He was known to have been a friend of the Prince until they fell out over an insult. Where would I find books please on that period, the Royal family etc. that I could read in a library. Also where would I find a set of Who's Who for the 20th century? I leave for London on 23rd and will have 4 days to dash to Kew, British Library, and Hug Soc library.

Shirley, have you looked in the bibliography at the end of articles in the Dctionnary of National Biographies? Sometimes ,in case of Royals, the bio there is so long that you don't need more ,just to look at other references of names. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shirley Arabin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 19, 2003 5:59 PM Subject: [HWE] help re books I need help from someone more familiar with London libraries than myself.
