Harrison has gone about this via one of our booksellers due to the old fashioned practices at the Academy. Their volumes have to be applied for and the person applying must have some document to show and the volumes are only published at long and irregular intervals. Harrison writes that until the Academy improves upon its antiquated practice, he does not see how the situation is to be improved, however Harrison shall no doubt get the volumes before long.
