With regard to "advise" versus "advice": clearly the correct choice in this passage is "advice". However, this is a direct quote; The electronic version on which this is based uses "advise". Possibly this is a mistranscription and the hardcopy original said "advice". I have to check this against the original to see which way its given. Bill 12:10, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, there were hints, but nothing clearly indicated that it was a direct quote. And those names with YOB-YOD are presumably NOT direct quotes. Maybe you can add some quotation marks around the actual quoted paragraphs, with piped links for the men we have pages for. And you are welcome to adopt the "original" spelling, once found (if it matters). Robin Patterson 12:29, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Fixed accordingly. I'll probably not bother with it---its another bit of probably unnecessary fustianism---gee, got to use that word TWICE in one day. Bill 12:34, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
