Welcome to Litsy!

I had hoped it would focus more on the social and cultural tidbits, but the bulk of the book focused on politics. So I found it very dry, very academic. It is also a fat book with small font, so even when I skimmed, it was slow-going. There were a few parts that I found a bit more interesting and did slow down and take in a bit more, and it is a time I really don‘t know much about, so I did learn a few things. Cont in comments...

“I do not believe,” [Wendell Phillips] wrote, “in an English freedom, that trusts the welfare of the dependent class to the good will and moral sense of the upper class.”

I‘m so glad my reading buddy is feeling better and gaining weight. She‘s had an infection and wasn‘t eating well. 😿

Went for a change of scene for day 2 of #24in48. It was lovely but put me behind.

Slightly less belated #Riotgrams day 16: bookmark(s). Since I was in college, my mother has given me a stack of these every few years. They're made of laminated Japanese paper. There's something about opening a book to one that never fails to fill me with joy.
