[Bell Historians] Incised Inscription

[La Greenall laalaagrr@googlemail.com [bellhistorians]]

Both assumptions, that the inscription was forgotten, and that the donor 
insisted it was inscribed, could be true.

Some years ago, a book published by our historical society had a 
misplaced foreword unwittingly not included at the layout stage; we 
later had to insert printed slips by hand into every copy of the book.
