I have been lent an ORIGINAL copy of a book published in 1751 about the '*******s and Ailments of Horses'. I feel very priviledged to even be handling a book this old which you don't normally see outside of a museum (and very worried in case I damage it - it must be worth a fortune!). Will be spending my Sunday trying to write some stuff from it - advise, for example, on what to look for when buying a horse doesn't seem to have changed at all during the years - although 300 years ago buying a horse was probably more like buying a car today, and it was more important to get it right!
All the 's's in the book are written as 'f's, which makes it very hard to read - took me a while to get into it, for example, horses are all horfes!
Amazing where doing a website leads you, isn't it? Never thought I would see a book this old, let alone have it open in front of me on my desk! It was found in someone's loft by the way.
Has web site building led anyone else into strange territory?
Have a good Sunday all!
