Hi everyone,
All major referebnce libraries will have a copy of the DNB, and the
entry can be photocopied. It is also available on CD-ROM.
The major revision of the entire dictionary is now at the printers and
will be published in the Autumn as The New Oxford Dictionary of
National Biography. It will also be available on-line.
All the entries of the Old DNB have been revised or completely re-
written. The Old DNB was very weak on manufacturers, engineers
and entrepreneurs, and much effort has been expended on
augmenting there categories, so there will be many new names of
interest to the List.
There was a biography o Brassey written in the C19 by Arthur Helps,
which i think I am right in saying was reprinted by David and Charles
in the 1970's.
Regards
