Dear list-members

I have two queries from students, one short, one 
longer.  Any help would be very gratefully 
received.  (Offline, please, unless you think 
what you have to say will be of general interest.)

Many thanks


1.  Where are Richard Stone's papers held - at 
the Treasury or at Cambridge somewhere, perhaps?

2.  The second enquirer (a final year UG student 
in history and philosophy of science who will be 
starting an MSc in Economic History in October 
09) is looking for a summer school offering an 
introductory programme in history of economic 
thought aimed at graduate students, rather than 
specialised seminars for near-completion PhD 
students, or an institution offering summer 
research internships in the history of economic 
thought.  He says "Last summer I secured a £1000 
scholarship from the Royal Greenwich Observatory 
to research the divisions between supporters and 
detractors of state funding for science that 
emerged within the British astronomical community 
in the 1870s/80s. This summer I would like to try 
to build on this previous work and investigate 
the historical origins of the conception of 
science as a public good. Last year I was quite 
intrigued to discover that the "public good" line 
of argument did not seem to pop up at all in 
discussions about science funding in the 1880s - 
the lack of much scholarship on this question 
seems an opportunity to produce a little piece of research."
