"Another damned, thick, square book! Always scribble, scribble, scribble, eh, Mr. Gibbon?"

Supposedly said by William Henry, Duke of Gloucester, in 1781,to the author of "Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire."

It may not be true. It may not be accurately ascribed; but then, I love it and it seems to be an appropriate sentiment to start this blog.

I plan on placing bits and pieces, fragments and other meanderings here. So thus and sich.
