In the Mood for MDDM

[John Bailey]

P.S. to all:

I don't know if this has been posted earlier in the MDDM but 'The Internet 
Library of Early Journals' has a whole heap of periodicals scanned onto the 
web, available for easy, free access, not even pdf so they don't take long 
to view.

The ones of most interest are Gentleman's Magazine, Philosophical 
Transactions of the Royal Society (obviously) and perhaps Annual Register. 
All of these journals focus on the period M&D covers, so even just for the 
sake of periodicizing the darn thing, they're fun to browse. Searchable too.

Of most interest might be Volume 52 of the Philosophical Transactions of the 
Royal Society under Nevil Maskelyne; a volume which also contains many 
sections on the Transit of Venus, clocks, St Helena, Bradley, electricity, 
etc.
