Last month I wrote for the British Library's Untold Lives blog series
about Alice Thornton's #manuscripts and her niece's betrayal. This month our project blog post is by Jo Edge using a letter by the niece which survives on microfilm at North Yorkshire County Record Office. We would love to locate the original. It was part of the Cunliffe-Lister Muniments collection. Any leads? https://thornton.kdl.kcl.ac.uk/posts/blog/2023-06-15-tragical-transactions-at-newton/

Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek, the father of microbiology, was horrified by how sperm looked under the microscope.
He was so uncomfortable he wished he could unsee what he'd just observed.

A gallant crew, stir up the fire.
A #Christmas #ballad from the #Royalist news sheet Mercurius Democritus, 22 December 1652.
Printed during the Interregnum, when Christmas was officially banned. [It can be sung to the tune of Prince Rupert's March.]
