illuminated by the author for his
little friend, Alice Liddell, who in
spired the tale, will rest from now
on in the British Museum. MIR.

seums trustees, headed by DR..
Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop Of Can
terbury.
The manuscript came to the

bought at a London auction in 1928
by an American for more than $780,
600. In America it was sold to
