A piece I wrote on one of the most fascinating and incredible thriftstore finds I've ever stumbled upon.
The Edwardians and Victorians were not like us, they believed in a nobility of their political class that's almost impossible to understand or relate to, and that believe, that attribution of nobility is tied up with something even more mysterious: their belief in the fundamental nobility of rhetoric.
Still not sure entirely how I feel about this, or how sure I am of my conclusions but this has had me spellbound in fascination and so I wrote about it.

Notes -
Doesn't Google books do a lot of that anyway?
There have been cases where Google books has processed their books automatically and there have been problems because the software isn't 100% perfect.
In other words, it sounds like a scam site, especially since they don't prominently say "we process free scans from other places" and clearly lay out what value they add to those scans.
