19 Spence, Autobiography, p.22. The publishers, J.W. Parker and Son, went out of business in the
early 1860s. Some of their work was taken over by Macmillan: see Charles Morgan, The House
of Macmillan (1843-1943), London, 1943, p.65. Macmillan and Company responded to my
inquiry about a manuscript which would show the extent to which Clara Morison had been
abridged with astonishment that anyone might expect them to store such material.
