 Stafford Exchange - Table of Contents.
The Stafford Exchange, an original concept in cyber-publications, has been created to help preserve the American history of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier for one reason: it's easier to know where you're going when you know where you've been.
Nomenclature aside (archive, repository, anthology), The Stafford Exchange manifests itself as something between a pamphlet and a volume but definitely not as a periodical.
Although The Stafford Exchange does contain an element of nostalgia, it should prove a practical and useful resource/reference to those who devote a corner of their lives to this fine Breed and hope to see it thrive in the future.

The six Haydn settings are justifiably the album's centrepiece, his graceful touch enhancing their elegant simplicity, but just as remarkable is John Stafford Smith's Horrible is the end of th' unrighteous generation, an extended anthem for pairs of soloists and chorus, arranged for string quartet by Holman from Smith's original plain organ accompaniment.
