Many congratulations to team member @MaxSkjonsberg for a terrific review of his monograph!.
Delighted about this new review by Andrew C. Thompson in @IHRjournal. "Skjönsberg has produced an important and well-written book. It brings together persuasive readings of the major authors on party in eighteenth-century Britain".

Many congratulations to @MaxSkjonsberg on completing this mammoth task for the @C18thLibraries project! Watch this space! @BristolLibrary.
This week I finished the transcription of all the loans at the Bristol Library Society between 1773 & 1795: 11 volumes of registers, 6 microfilms, 30,402 loans. Plenty for me to write and think about. In due course, everyone can view the data online via @C18thLibraries.
