Let me second Jon's endorsement of George Morrow's extraordinary  
works, which, I suspect, might be discounted somewhat being self- 
published.   George is a deft writer and a probing scholar; the  
pamphlets are thoroughly professional.   His work on Samuel Henley  
was useful to my own recent piece in Notes and Queries on Henley's  
sordid reputation among scholars of English literature and his  
supposed "dark beginnings" in Virginia while professor of moral  
philosophy at William and Mary.

Well, we can't afford both.   Tomorrow we start tearing down the  
college.
