READ the 26 March, 1897 issue of the ‘British Journal of Photography’ about the Jennings ‘lightning photography’ (page 204) as well as many other photographic topics of that time, at Google Books -30- google.ca/books/edition/The_… -30-

One of the lovely things on google books is having access not only to pretty much any 16th-century text but also finding the annotations of previous owners -- and in this case quite a famous humanist. google.co.uk/books/edition/E…

Petrus Hortensius is probably Peter van den Hove. He owned this Greek book on church history. In 1599, he was 'baryphonus' of St Gudula's cathedral in Brussels. Google helpfully translates this as 'baryphone'. Was he the organist?

I love Google Books! I type in John Rowe's Diary, the Boston merchant, and there it is at my finger tips albeit with edits from his GGG niece circa 1903.

I've been having a lot of fun messing around with the Google Books Ngram Viewer. Kind of like Google trends but it's looking specifically at books. Below are uses of the word "nuclear" in English vs. Russian books. Pretty neat! 🤓 books.google.com/ngrams/

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that not a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a blue checkmark.

That's my last Duchess painted on the
wall,
Looking as if she were alive; I call
That piece a wonder, now: Frà Pan-
dolf's hands
Worked busily a day, and there she
stands.
