I'm live-blogging from Seat 335 in the Rare Books & Music Reading Room of the British Library, simply because I can! Earlier this year they instigated free wi-fi for readers.
I've got here a heap of leather-bound tomes, some more than 300 years old. A combination of items connected with low life and high life:
A Description of the Duke's Bagnio, 1683
Letter to a Gentlewoman Concerning Government, 1697
Love for Money, or the Boarding School, 1691
Life of the Late Celebrated Mrs. Elizabeth Wisebourn vulgarly call'd Mother Whybourn (a notorious madam!)
London in 1710, 1934 edition
Court & Society from Elizabeth to Anne, 1865
When I've done with these, more are waiting!
