That's one of the reasons we moved to Williamsburg; we love the history and the intense research Colonial Williamsburg does and makes available to the public. <br /><br />Darryl and Ruth :)Living In Williamsburg Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442680855290062641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-57062771176161118762011-09-25T22:52:04.626-04:002011-09-25T22:52:04.626-04:00I haven't gotten any history books lately, but...I haven't gotten any history books lately, but I purchased a book about Regency England about 2 months ago.

I have a vulgar tongue dictionary on the hard drive I downloaded some ten years ago, from somewhere! But that Colonial American English book... I covet that! I have my eye out for an affordable copy too. What do you think of it? Is it as good as you expected?Lori Bentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714197239425827339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-75988419684427890842011-09-21T21:52:02.399-04:002011-09-21T21:52:02.399-04:00Kathy, so good to hear you have recently acquired ...Kathy, so good to hear you have recently acquired some of your own treasures! You are in luck, A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue is available in its entirety as an ebook at Google Books. I just love that feature! I found it there first, but wanted a hard copy to sift through. Enjoy!Carla Gadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793809172905144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-90056306820264329412011-09-21T21:00:35.504-04:002011-09-21T21:00:35.504-04:00You've got some treasures there - may need to ...You've got some treasures there - may need to pin them! I collect old history books, too - and love the beautiful bindings of antique editions. Just got a few lovelies on my Lancaster trip which I'll be featuring in an upcoming post. I'd love a look in that dialect and slang book - wonder if I can download them onto my Nook . . . You can get awesome old titles like this for free because they are simply scanned. Love it!<br />Joy!<br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
