oxlade of portsea
« on: Friday 27 November 20 15:01 GMT (UK) »
I'm embarrassed at having once more to beg for help...I should explain that my computer went down last year and I'm trying to reconstitute work using notes and the benefits of Rootschat.

There are two references that I cannot raise, both included in a preliminary draft of a study.  They are located in the Hampshire/Portsmouth Telegraph - but my remaining references (stupidly) don't have the precise dates...

The first - from 1813 - is as follows...

This day is published, price 6d (allowed to purchasers) OXLADE'S CATALOGUE of about 3,000 volumes of second hand books...Catalogues at the place of sale 174, Queen Street, Portsea.

The second - from 1816 - is as follows...

It concerns a Thomas Hoare who was 'acquitted of the theft of 16 books from William Oxlade' in Portsea.

I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can enlarge on these references.

That's one of the dates taken care of - the 1813 entry as I remember it had only the first para...The extra info., 1816, is an absolute bonus in indicating how Oxlade's business progressed.
Many thanks.
