Thomason Tracts
I found a great illustration for an English cleric of the 1640's published in an anonymous pamphlet preserved in the Thomason Tracts. George Thomason, an important London bookseller and the friend of John Milton (1608-1674) was extremely well placed to build up a systematic collection of
pamphlets and other works as they were published. Thanks to his efforts, over 7,000 contemporary works,
relating in the main to the most burning religious controversies and
political conflicts of the day, have survived nowhere else.
I'm a retired Colonel of Infantry (Regulars by God!) and Military Historian who likes to play with toy soldiers. I've been married to the love of my life since 1986, I have 5 honorable sons (my geeks in training), 4 daughters-in-law, a beautiful grandson, 1 dog and a gazillion miniatures.
Hobbies include . . . wait for it . . . Toy Soldiers, Reading, Wargaming, Reading about Toy Soldiers, History, Reading about Wargaming, Gardening, Reading about History and Reading.
