They no longer appear at the treasury printing plant, they have been discontinued.

post another far afield from this.

In retrospect, not entirely true, Madison has been seriously deflated.

They're titles of homilies taken from the Church of England's second Book of Homilies, as set forth in the 39 Articles of Religion adopted by the CoE's bishops in the 1500s.

Your turn to post a quartet.

The University Library, Cambridge
The Library of Trinity College, Dublin
Bodleian Library, Oxford

I know they are all libraries but that isn’t the answer.

I’ve checked this question for Googability.

I was going to say all on British Isles, but Trinity is in a Republic now and not really a British Isle.

They are all Legal Deposit Libraries and as such any works published in the UK must be issued to these Libraries at no cost to the libraries.

Your answer will do I suppose dc
