Subject: [lace] Thomas Wright Footnote.... help? (again again again!) :)
I just came across a bobbin with the name of Levi Makepeace inscribed on
it. Of course Levi is a Biblical name ( not necessarily a Jewish person) ,
but it reminded me of a very strange Tell on page 184 of Wrights book which
involved a "Jewess". I thought that I might like to look into it a bit
deeper and he has footnote quoting "Notes and Queries, 4th series, Vol.
IV., p.8." which apparently records that this tell is sung in other parts
of "Lace land".
I would like to see it and have googled it and get all sorts of results,
none of which, seem to have what I am looking for. I thought I was pretty
smart doing this sort of thing but I need someone smarter!!!!! to help me
please?
If it seems to be your line of research I would be delighted to have some
pointers or some help in finding this reference.
From what I have seen of Notes and Queries, I may well be disappointed
with the results. Never mind. it is worth a try.
If you can help I will appreciate it.
Thanks
