Speaking for myself (not that *I* am needed for anything of this sort) I'll
have some business commitments in Paris in the latter part of the month.
I'll certainly try to escape for a few days however as I'd love to see
Amsterdam.

Actually, he is covered pp. 122 and 430-431. When all else fail remember to
use the indices;-) I also have specimens of Petit's process in my

"similigravure" in French.
