Sometimes it seems as though the British Library holds more stuff than 
anyone knows what to do with. I'm sure that's a good thing, though. :-)

I'll be sure to check out this MS next time I'm in the BL - as with all MS, 
I'm unlikely to be able to make a copy of it, but I'll make notes on it & 
see what I can arrange. :-o

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
