   I have gotten around to looking up Orwell's complete works at the   
   library.  The first nine volumes are merely definitive editions of his   
   books, which I have already read, but the remaining eleven are an   
   attempt to print everything else he ever wrote, and so constitute an   
   expansion of the four volumes that I bought 40 years ago & have read   
   to a frazzle.  In Vol. 10 is a letter in which Orwell describes taking   
   a walk in a nearby cemetery, Kensal Rise, to get into a gloomy mood   
   for writing, but finding the epitaphs hilariously counterproductive.   
   A footnote explains that Kensal Rise is "an error for Kensall Green".   
   I thought that an unlikely error for a neighbor to make, and a likely   
   one for an Englishman to suspect (Kensall Green being a very   
   well-known 19th-century London cemetery & a stock literary allusion to   
   death).  Sure enough, Google instantly reveals that there is also   
   Kensal Rise Cemetery, not far away.  Google does *not* reveal a Web   
   site or email address to which addenda & corrigenda for this   
   monumental work may be addressed.
