<title>The Mind is a Metaphor</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mind-metaphor.stanford.edu/">The Mind is a Metaphor: A Database of Eighteenth-Century Metaphors of Mind</a>: Assembled and Taxonomized by Brad Pasanek: "This collection of eighteenth-century metaphors of mind is part of a scholarly study of the metaphors and root-images appealed to by the novelists, poets, dramatists, essayists, philosophers, belle lettrists, preachers, and pamphleteers of the eighteenth century. While the database does include metaphors from classical sources, from Shakespeare and Milton, the King James Bible, and more recent texts, it does not pretend to any depth or density of coverage in literature other than that of the British eighteenth century."</p>

<p>See also <a href="http://mind.textdriven.com/"><em>The Mind is a Metaphor</em></a>, a series of "mini-essays or explications" of some of Pasanek's favorite metaphors.</p>]]></description>

<title>Sundries</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.chezjim.com/sundries/">Sundries</a>: Jim Chevallier has for quite some time now been posting "Sundries," a "weekly miscellany," to <a href="http://www.personal.psu.edu/special/C18/c18-l.htm"><span class="caps">C18</span>-L</a>. This newsletter is always filled with useful links to various 18thc stories and resources. Now he has decided to post it to <a href="http://www.chezjim.com/sundries/">a website</a> (so far only posts from 2005 are up), and has started <a href="http://sundries-c18.blogspot.com/">a related blog</a> for conversation and comments. He is <a href="http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0603&amp;L=C18-L&amp;P=R13198&amp;I=-3">apparently</a> waiting for some feedback before posting 2006, so head on over and drop him a line. </p>]]></description>

<title>Diaries of A Lady of Quality by Frances Williams Wynn</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://diariesofaladyofquality.blogspot.com/" target="blank"><i>Diaries of A Lady of Quality</i></a> by Frances Williams Wynn. <a href="http://philobiblion.blogspot.com/" target="blank">Natalie Bennett</a>, whose project this is, writes that the text was "'written between 1797 and 1844 by Miss Frances Williams Wynn, the daughter of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn (the fourth baronet) and Charlotte, daughter of George Grenville (First Lord of the Treasury, 1763-1765).' The printed book seems to be surprisingly rare, but looks, I think, very interesting."</p>]]></description>
