...especially the parchments - volume 5

This volume mainly contains two documents. First, the diary of John Bodman, detailing the beginnings of the meeting in Quemerford, England in 1860 and its subsequent history until the 1890s. It includes details of the Annual Quemerford meetings at which J B Stoney gave many addresses, together with his classic letter to the 1896 meeting which he was too ill to attend and the address F E Raven gave in response.
