Kevin,
I was actually looking to subscribe, but didn’t seen any issues published since 2022. Maybe the web site is just out of date. It would be great if there was a way to search all the articles on the web site. I did search in JSTOR for the articles in MTJ about the Denny journal, but I didn’t find anything. That search is definitely not perfect, however. If the articles are on JSTOR, I’d appreciate direct links to them.
And thank you to Robert Hirst who sent me a copy of his typescript.
