Yes. What I was trying to convey was that His Grace had a copy (I
know this because he sent me a copy of it); at the time I couldn't
remember the specific information for that particular translation,
other than that it was probably from the 20's or 30's, and there were
some interesting areas of translational divergence from the Grant
edition.
