So grateful for Dr @DReedHistory, who discovered a very rare letter by Joseph Kinghorn to his parents. Virtually, we have no letter between the Kinghorns during Joseph’s time at Bristol Academy, and this letter is extremely important.
enjoyed seeing Archbishop Lancelot Blackburne on @qikipedia recently - was he really a pirate? No! Did he have a secret adulterous tunnel? Almost certainly not! But you can’t beat a good story, apparently

‘One advantage of travelling is to be reconciled to mankind… we have no more reason to despise… or be displeasd with a Forrigner for not Acting & Thinkg as we do than for their Religion or Language, full as their complection being black, the effect of a scorching Sun'
‘you Sir are Yorick’ - thrilling to get to grips with this hitherto-unknown annotated first edition copy of Sterne’s ‘A Sentimental Journey’ (1768)
The distinctive signature of John Olds (1694-1768), long-time steward to Hugh Bethell of Rise Hall - and country associate of Jaques Sterne. Olds was a witness to his will in 1747 - and even named one of his sons John Jaques Olds

Great couple of days @OfficialUoM at the Clerical Lives conference - heartening to hear the excellent work being done on religion (etc.) in the eighteenth century!
