About My Library
My library has an eclectic range of books on the history of the intellectual disciplines, the subject of my own first book. The British eighteenth century is also well represented. Other patterns in my collecting are less easy to track.

I shelve my books by LOC call number; I've only just begun to transfer my library catalog to LibraryThing.

Most of the reviews I have posted rely on summary and excerpt rather than evaluation. This may change for future reviews.
About Me
I'm a voracious, omnivorous reader with a special interest in the mid-eighteenth century, particularly theories of language, lexicography, and dictionaries, including those of Samuel Johnson (the first major lexicographer in the English tradition) and his circle.
