[Bell Historians] Tolpuddle in the news!

[Peter Whisker]

David

Thanks you for your reply. Whilst I appreciate that Chris Dalton has 
written an excellent set of volumes, regardless of  any personal 
desires, I have no ties to Dorset, and with a family of four children, I 
can't justify the luxury of a ?25 copy of my own and our Guild library 
doesn't seem to have one.

A brief paragraph giving an answer to my question would have been nice.

Regards
Peter Whisker
