Hello !
I am presently reading a very old book (published by John Murray in 1892)
and I find that the verb "show" is replaced by "shew" in every single
occurrence. I doubt this could be a typographical error, but I have never
seen this spelling before (but I am French, and I probably don't know it
all...).
Has anybody ever encountered that spelling ?
