Dear Mr Davenport,

Many apologies for the long delay in replying to your email, forwarded by Michael Powell of Chetham�s Library. Technically, of course, the book is still in full copyright (as it was published in 1960) but in practice, partly because we are non-profitmaking and partly because the book is long since out of print and out of stock, we do not worry about these things. Therefore, on behalf of the Chetham Society, I�m happy to give your authority to place on the dedicated website to which you refer. Acknowledgment should be made to the Council of the Chetham Society for permission to do this (as you suggest) and ideally I would be grateful if you could also indicate that the text is still copyright of the Chetham Society and should not be further reproduced without permission. We�re delighted to have Chetham Society texts published in this way, but I am very grateful that you have sought formal permission as we like to keep track of these things!

And apologies again for taking so long over this,

 Kind regards,

 Alan Crosby
