Sinopsis

Miscellanies, by Daines Barrington, is a collection of essays on a variety of historical and antiquarian subjects. Barrington, a notable lawyer, antiquarian, and naturalist, brings his keen intellect and curiosity to bear on topics ranging from the laws and customs of ancient peoples to observations on natural history. The essays showcase Barrington?s wide-ranging interests and his ability to draw connections between disparate fields of knowledge. Readers will find a wealth of information and insightful commentary on subjects such as the Antiquity of Card-playing in England, observations on the wing of the Sphinx, and the disappearance of singing birds from England. Barrington?s engaging prose and meticulous research make 'Miscellanies' a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, culture, and natural world of eighteenth-century England.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
