I have been lurking on this list for a couple of weeks now. (Very
informative and interesting BTW) And I keep seeing a reference to
"Markham", ie "redacted from Markham". I was wondering if someone would
be so kind as to tell me who or what Markham is.
I am glad you asked, very glad. If we cannot teach each other these things,
what good are we?
>From a quick online library search by doing telnet hollis.harvard.edu,
I found the following. Harvard had 205 entries for Markham, Gervase, and
most of those were microfilm versions of MANY interesting books.... I'll
post that list in a few minutes, for interests sake.
