Anna<p>Can anyone point me to a resource that discusses what "corrected" vs "with amendments" on an 18c title page would have indicated to readers? <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/bookhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookhistory</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/eighteenthcentury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eighteenthcentury</span></a></p>
Anna<p>Does anyone have any information on the "sermon-stealing" mentioned in this advertisement? It is from a chapbook called Nixon's Cheshire Prophecy at Large by John Oldmixon sold by Curll, Pemberton, and Corbett in 1740. I suspect the "Monthly Libels" are Gentleman's Magazine and London Magazine. <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/bookhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookhistory</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/EighteenthCentury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EighteenthCentury</span></a></p>

Rita Singer<p>📢 ERTHYGL NEWYDD 📢 NEW ARTICLE 📢<br>VALENTINE MORRIS (1727 - 1789), colonial administrator and landowner<br>'On his father's death in 1743, Morris inherited the Piercefield estate, along with substantial plantations in Antigua including a great number of enslaved people. These included Looby's, Crabb's, and Martin's in St Paul Parish in southern Antigua and Jolly's in St Mary Parish in western Antigua. In 1776, Morris was rated as owning 1,004 acres on the island, which was worked by 284 enslaved people. As Ivor Waters strikingly puts it, 'The elegant Valentine Morris owned Piercefield in Monmouthshire, worth £50,000 and Piercefield, a slave in Antigua, worth £10.' He was largely an absentee plantation owner while in Britain, apart from a visit to Antigua in 1754 following a period of drought there.' -- Adam Coward</p><p>Read the full story here: <a href="https://biography.wales/article/s15-MORR-VAL-1771" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">biography.wales/article/s15-MO</span><span class="invisible">RR-VAL-1771</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/histodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>histodons</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Wales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wales</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/BritishEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BritishEmpire</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/EighteenthCentury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EighteenthCentury</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Bywgraffiadur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bywgraffiadur</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/DiversityProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DiversityProject</span></a> </p><p>Darlun/Image: <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Valentine_Morris_(1727-1789),_Governor_of_Saint_Vincent,_by_Allan_Ramsay.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil</span><span class="invisible">e:Valentine_Morris_(1727-1789),_Governor_of_Saint_Vincent,_by_Allan_Ramsay.jpg</span></a></p>

Carrie Shanafelt<p>Ooh, just got my copy of Teaching the Eighteenth Century Now, edited by Kate Parker and Miriam Wallace, with essays by Tiffany Potter, Ziona Kocher, Kate Parker, Teri Doerksen, Christine D. Myers, Diana Epelbaum, Matthew L. Reznicek, Travis Chi Wing Lau, Emily C. Casey, and Eugenia Zuroski. I'm not someone who gets many pedagogy books, but that lineup is full of people who have reshaped my thinking about the <a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/EighteenthCentury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EighteenthCentury</span></a> <a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/C18Studies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>C18Studies</span></a> over and over. Looks exciting!</p>
