This Week's Acquisitions

(But it's a substantial acquisition, at any rate.)

• Agnes Strickland, Lives of the Queens of England, from the Norman Conquest.  Compiled from Official Records & Other Authentic Documents, 8 vols. (George Bell, 1882).  Complete set of a late-Victorian edition.  Silently co-authored with her sister Elizabeth.  There are large quantities of Strickland at the Internet Archive, including some of her fiction.  Colorado College has digitized some of Strickland's letters; see also Katherine Harris' bibliography of Strickland in the literary annuals.  (eBay)
