Querying Humphrey's request for parish boundaries for the Isle of Man would
somebody like to enlighten me on the copyright of the David and Charles reprints.
Does the copyright statement refer only to the cartograhical notes by Dr J. B.
Harley 1971 or (apart from renumbering the original OS sheets) does copyright
extend to cover the reprint itself?
