Greetings, Gentle Readers! Welcome to the Lennox Bibliography Project website’s second birthday! *blows noisemaker* I’m thrilled and amazed that I’m still working on this and that I’ve actually made progress, albeit more slowly than I would have liked. Still moving forward, though.

Again, this month has seen a ton of grading and not much in the way of progress. What it has also seen, however, is me prepping my presentation for the upcoming ASECS 2024 conference! Starting later next week (eep) I will be in Toronto, ON with a bunch of other 18th-century scholars and doing my part to further the (small-d) discourse in our field. For those in attendance who might be interested, I’ll be presenting on some of my findings thus far from the LBP.

Specifically, I’m on panel #112, Friday April 5th, from 4:30-6:00pm in the Elgin room. It’s the second of two panels from the Bibliographical Society of America, titled “Bibliography by the Numbers: Meta-Bibliography and the Study of Eighteenth-Century Book Culture.” My paper is titled (not terribly creatively) “The Travels of the Memoirs of the Duke of Sully.” Belatedly I realized I should have named it “So Many Copies: Charlotte Lennox and the Duke of Sully” but alas, inspiration came far too late. Feel free to stop by!
