Peter,
Thank you very much for doing considerably more than I thought I
asked. I have downloaded the first three volumes and will try to have a look
at relevant bits of the others when I am in Melbourne later in the year.

I was emboldened to try the Libraries Australia site on Friday and had
a phone call today saying that they will send me a couple of pages from Vol
4 part 2 of Nichols (ed) The History and Antiquities of Leicester gratis.
I'm more in charity with the State Library of NSW than I have been in years.

Best,
Ken


Hi Ken:

I, myself am not pleased with the State Library of NSW. I go to NSW once a year to search their books. Unfortunately, the last time I was there they told me all the PROs Calendar of Patents, Close Rolls, Fines etc were placed offsite. You placed an order and then waited a day or so for it to be delivered. The problem was if you wanted to browse the indexes you needed a large number of the books ( each vol having a separate index). That meant requesting a large number of volumes ( Calendar of Patent Vols has some 50 vols.). They would only allow three books at a time. I gave up and wandered down to Sydney University Library, where it is a lot easier.

Regards

Paul
