Wow! That is one of the best written, most learned and powerful rants I’ve ever read! Our Diarist was on fire today!

December 10. Jem Ruggles dined here and spent the evening reading music, Martha and Nozze di Figaro, with Ellie. Looked into the third volume of Prescott’s Philip the Second, mainly devoted to the Moresco Insurrection, Don John, the Escurial, and Lepanto. Better than the first two volumes, I think; less wordy and more picturesque.
