I\u2019ve made a few tweaks where updating was required. The big difference apart from the covers is that both books are now fully referenced, in end notes. Those who want to dig deeper can use these to do so.<\/p>\n<p>It took me nearly four months last summer to add the references, combing through my files of photocopies and notes taken when I was doing the research. It was hard work but I enjoyed once again meeting all the men and women who people the books. I was really grateful that I was able to check so many sources online.<\/p>\n<p>That wasn\u2019t the case when I first started researching, way back in 1995-96. It involved travelling to libraries and archives, finding your way around the different classification systems and humbly asking if you might be permitted to make\/request some photocopies. It was hard work but it was rewarding too. There\u2019s a real thrill in reading a letter written by someone 250 years and more before. Here\u2019s a link to an article I wrote for<em> Historia<\/em> online magazine about the differences between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historiamag.com\/damn-rebel-bitches\/\">research then and now.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This article shows the previous covers.
