Mission Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Ok, this is a hodge-podge thread I made mostly from one and two post threads with interesting links in them. It's a real scattering of info via links. I did this because there were some really cool links scattered around the Twill forum and it seemed to make sense to me to gather them all in one place for easier reference. (Note that I only checked some of the links, so if they don't work...well, sorry about that.) Feel free to post some of your favorite historical and period links in here to help build this mini-database. Here are some of mine (mostly medical, natch ): Pharmacoepia of London Apothecaries' Symbols Commonly Found in Medical Recipes Latin Dictionary Alex Peck Medical and Surgical Antiques Will Styles' Medical Library Pirates & Privateers - The History of Maritime Piracy Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Mission Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Someone sent me this link of links and the ones I checked out were reasonably good, so I thought I'd throw it out there. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Ivan Henry aka Moose Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Hey all, Just found a couple GREAT sites that i thought I would share. You may or may not have seen these before, but both are great. The Victoria and Albert Museum is my favorite. The search function turns up really great results. Search the Collections - Victoria and Albert Museum Wars of Louis Quatorze: July 2008
j8ksdad Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Ivan, Both links go to the same place. Great find on the one though. -Scott I'll eat when I'm hungry. I'll drink when I'm dry. If the hard times don't kill me I'll lay down and die. Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey I cry. If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die.

michaelsbagley Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Hey guys, a very old thread of this very nature was pointed out to me yesterday... It is great to see some new and awesome sources being added! Would any of you mind if I merged this thread with the old one for the sake of ease of future reference? I can also "pin" the topic so it will remain towards the top of the list to make it easy to find going forward. If I don't hear any objections by tomorrow, I will merge the topics, if someone does have an objection, feel free to post it here or send it to me via private message. Thanks!
