“In these Raggs and hungry Bowels, down, down, down”
50 items -- all either manuscript or nearly flat -- cataloged in a time of pandemic. Subjects include the joys of anti-Bell-Ringing, a lengthy letter from one of the men responsible for the creation of written vernacular Syriac, a deep dive into the history of America's most celebrated hoochie-coochie dancer, powerful letters from a woman beset by conspiracies in Regency England, and appropriate perhaps to the current mood, one will also find several Millerite items.
