For those wishing to know: this is trade and people directory for the West
part of London (mainly Hammersmith) for 1867. As a historical resource
it's very useful as, with a bit of effort, you can find where people
lived, who their neighbours were, the local shops and trades etc. It was
a massive undertaking for the firm, and although they created an
invaluable resource, they never proofed their work and they made thousands
of errors, some of which I've corrected, most I've left as there's now no
way to resolve the conflicts the book has. I pride myself that in all
history I'm going to be the only person who ever read it all - the
publishers certainly didn't!
All the best,

PS. In Victoria days they had medicines to cure everything, and make hair
grow again - how sad such secrets are now lost.
