James Boswell - We Meet Again

[changeling67]

My Romantic hero for pp is on Jean-Jacques Rousseau and have spent most of yesterday gleaning info and putting the pp together.  Earlier this year, I was researching about an alleged distant relation of mine named Mary Bryant and wrote about my findings in LJ.  My research included the biographies of both Mary Bryant and her benefactor James Boswell (pictured above). He was a well-placed Lord with his heart in the right place, but alas his other organ was often found in all the wrong places.

Cutting to the chase, I am researching Rousseau and it appears that R's wife Therese had an affair with James Boswell, who was staying at the house at that time and quite likely bore him a child, according to Infed.org

Well, well, well, Mr Boswell - we meet again.  You put yourself about a bit, don't you?

I do the same with Amazon... but I buy all the secondhand ones... at a PENNY... and then it's only the postage. And I've forty one books on one shelf to read yet, and am now ploughing through a series to catch up on my historicals as I am hopefully visiting Malta Crete and Rhodes, and Cyprus... so the Templars are needed to be refreshed.

Golly... penny ones are so irresistible.... I wonder if they have a Boswell for a penny. World of Books is BY FAR the best people to buy from. THey're UK based too... so you might be able to get to them by phone or email direct? They're a super firm and soooo kind and helpful and fun.
