Re: More from D'Arcy Power

Thanks, Nick. The Forgan article is interesting, but for some reason
the links on the "oldarticles.htm" page for both D'Arcy Power articles
are to D_arcy_Power.pdf (which is the long 1905 article, not the 2 page
1925 one). I am surprised no one else has noticed this. I find those
old articles of yours fascinating, am I the only one who has actually
tried to read the new ones?
