A Quebec coda

This blog has gone silent of late, as I have been diverted from cataloguing by an endeavour to list what is where in the stacks, in the hope that we can find things when people ask to see them! But among the books bequeathed to the College by the novelist and Egyptologist Amelia B. Edwards is a copy of Hymns Ancient and Modern, on the front cover of which is lettered in gilt "Quebec Chapel. Not to be taken away". So it's possible that Amelia Edwards (1831-1892) attended the Quebec Chapel during the time of the Revd Henry Alford, of whom I wrote in March 2012.
