["DANA SCOTT" <dscott520@xxxxxxx>]

The address listed on the cover of "A First List Of Books" is "92, Edith 
Grove, Chelsea, London, S.W." The date of this publication is July, 1898. At 
the very bottom of the last page (p.66) is "Women's Printing Society, Ltd. 
66, Whitcomb Street, W.C." I wonder what edifice stood at 92 Edith Grove 
back in 1898? Perhaps there was a business registry at the turn of the 
century?

Regards,
Dana Scott
