I wonder if friends on Exlibris and Notrbcat can help me with a
problem. (And I apologize in advance for the duplication of postings).
My research project, the edition of the library catalogue of the
Sidney Family of Penshurst Place, is in need of a set of the HMSO
volumes calendaring the Sidney family papers now on deposit in the
Kent Archives Office, Maidstone. We need to PURCHASE this set; there
is a copy in the GovDocs section of the U. of T. Library, but for
efficiency's sake, we need our own. All efforts to trace a copy for
sale have failed. Perhaps I simply have not been looking in the right
place. At any rate, if anyone has any suggestions (specialist book
dealers, de-accessioned extra sets, etc. etc.) could they please
contact me? The title is HMSO, _Calendar of the Papers of Lord De
L'Isle and Dudley_ 6 vols. London: 1925-1968. The final volume was in
print for some years (and may still be) but what I need is the set. I
will be very grateful for any help I can get in tracking this material
down. Germaine Warkentin <warkent@epas.utoronto.ca>
