Phenomenal first day @MarshsLibrary where I am primarily working on Sidney's networks & the publication of his "Discourses" (1698), but also my project on seventeenth-century England & Sengoku Japan - today via a copy of "Purchas his Pilgrimes. In Five Bookes" (1625)

A great turnout to hear Dr Máire Kennedy and Dr Jason McElligott at our lunchtime lecture. We learned many things: Annotate your books so that you can't be accused by future generations of having had a private library just for show. Daniel O'Connell was a great annotator! 🧵
