Did a fun activity last year where the students had to handle a book blindfolded, and work out as much as they could about it without seeing it. They were all surprised at just how much they could gauge by touch alone!

The curse of the type facsimile strikes again! This is NOT a C17th century book. Anyone who knows anything about typefaces will tell you that’s a late C18th Caslon. I would wager this was printed c. 1820 not 1678.

The earliest known depiction of a crop circle is in The Mowing-Devil (1678), a 5-page pamphlet which recounts a labor dispute ending with an unwitting deal with the devil, and a field mown in way “that no Mortal Man was able to do the like”: publicdomainreview.org/collection/t... #cropcircles

Sensible people are just going to defer publication on everything until right before the cut-off date to buy flexibility.

Mack doesn’t know who she is, but her contact to Pope is William Cheselden and Martha Blount didn’t like her. She seems to have been completely infatuated with Pope and impossible to shake off.

Aha! Maynard Mack writes about this manuscript at length in his Pope biography: pp. 796-801. It’s been on my ‘find this’ list for ages.
