    I'll enquire at the central library in Plymouth - don't hold out much hope, but you never know.

    Regards

      I found a Dickens dictionary entry for the number of Met and City of London police forces in 1888. It can be found here: http://forum.casebook.org/showthread.php?t=3578
      Washington Irving:

      "To a homeless man, who has no spot on this wide world which he can truly call his own, there is a momentary feeling of something like independence and territorial consequence, when, after a weary day's travel, he kicks off his boots, thrusts his feet into slippers, and stretches himself before an inn fire. Let the world without go as it may; let kingdoms rise and fall, so long as he has the wherewithal to pay his bills, he is, for the time being, the very monarch of all he surveys. The arm chair in his throne; the poker his sceptre, and the little parlour of some twelve feet square, his undisputed empire. "

      Stratford-on-Avon

          No Dickens dictionaries in the Plymouth library collection, unfortunately.

              Is anyone going to Kew soon? Could you check the contents of MEPO 3/138 and HO45/9765/B841A and see what kind of illustrations and maps are contained therein. Dave
