Managed to pick up some historical literature all for less than £10!
Particularly looking forward to reading Stowe while researching Victorian anti-slavery.

Using the summer break to catch up on some reading. Extending my reading into some long eighteenth century stuff.
Both interesting reads, but I think I’m still in the long nineteenth century camp.

Map dated 1858 showing the extent of the Asante Empire and British possessions in West Africa. Interestingly many British forts are simply underlined red, showing the lack of British influence and jurisdiction outside of its 'Bridgeheads' (John Darwin, 2013, p.8-9). #History

Following the Battle of Waterloo, towards the end of June, Captain Jonathan Leach of the 1st Battalion 95th Rifles, while stationed at St. Denis noted in his journal a ‘curious dialogue’ between soldiers of his division. It provides an interesting window into the variety of Wellingtons force.
