I read them. Very very good. I didn't retain all the detail, but they filled in many gaps, some I didn't know I had.
Lost them in my move from Leicester to London though
PS - Never ask a student a question on their chosen subject unless you are prepared for
proper education.
PPS - reread the thread and had used the word "scholar" far too many times. I rarely get the chance you0 see, and I do like it. Have changed it in this thread, in case the repetition police get me.
