\caption{The nearest L-dwarfs to the Sun, ordered by distance. Where distances are measured from a 
parallax determination,
this is indicated. Otherwise, distances are based on current calibrations and have been obtained from the literature. 
Rather few L-dwarfs have been found within $\sim$10~pc and this work increases the known database of such objects
by $\sim$25\%.\label{tab2}}
