Christopher Thompson <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Everyone interested in the early colonial history of Virginia will know  that 
Dr David Ransome has transcribed the archive of John and Nicholas Ferrar  
held at Magdalene College, Cambridge University. His transcript is  available 
from Adam Matthew Digital publications in the United Kingdom.  Does anyone know 
why this work has not appeared in printed book form ?  It would be the logical 
corollary to S.M.Kingsbury's edition of the  Records of the Virginia Company 
of London and an essential tool for the study of  Virginia's history up until 
the mid-1620s.
