WHO KNEW?

In preparation for my third lecture on Ideological Critique, I went to my bookshelf to find a famous passage from Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, and discovered, to my surprise, that my nine volume set of the works of Burke, published in 1803 and obtained by me many years ago second hand, was originally the property of Frances Lady Shelley, who turns out to be Frances Winckley, the wife of the sixth baronet.  Neat!
