Annis (and anyone else who's interested), here's a link to the Henry Treece articles originally published in Solander in November 2003. It's on adobe.com so might take a minute to appear.

The Historical Novel Society magazine Solander did a special feature on Henry Treece (Solander 14, November 2003).
