My blogs
| Introduction | In my mid-eighties I have discovered the commonplacebook, a device for keeping miscellaneous notes, thoughts, quotes, etc. The commonplace book apparently made its appearance in Europe with the advent of cheap paper. People such as Milton and many other writers kept such collections of miscellany as a resource for writing and speaking. Jefferson much admired Montesquieu for his commonplace book. I intend to use this blog as a surrogate for the commonplacebook. |
