Dictionary of National Biography[edit]

Can you give better reference details about this publication than just its name? Publisher and town, year, page number being used for each cited reference, isbn if any, url if online, etc. Is it the DNB or the Oxford DNB? I can find very little online, so maybe you have a book to reference. Thanks ww2censor (talk) 20:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
