[PW] ? Nikola Tesla again

[Charles Early]

If anybody has the Tesla bibliography I mentioned earlier 
(http://www.tfcbooks.com/mall/more/354ntb.htm), the blurb for it states:

 >>
   The second printing of an exhaustive annotated bibliography of writings 
by and about the inventor Nikola Tesla. The period covered is from 1884 
through 1978 with approximately 3,000 citations arranged in chronological 
order. At the time of its creation, all earlier bibliographical efforts 
were merged. Periodical directories and newspaper indexes were searched; 
complete runs of 23 serials were examined for content; morgue files were 
examined for unindexed newspapers; Tesla's estate papers were examined for 
reference to obscure published articles; clipping files in major 
institutional and public libraries were examined. This work allows the user 
to follow the sequence of Tesla's life, scientific discoveries, and 
accomplishments.

If another 1892 lecture isn't listed there, it would seem reasonable to 
assume that it doesn't exist.  Of course, convincing the patron of that may 
be another story.

And I shouldn't need to say that I didn't have Patty in mind when I 
commented about the uncertain reliability of some Tesla websites.  I 
mentioned it as a reason for skepticism about the patron's original 
citation and a general caution to anyone encountering their first Tesla 
reference question.
