Curiosities of Literature by Isaac D'Israeli (1766-1848).
Also at spamula.net is Giornale Nuovo, the wonderful blog of MeFi's own misteraitch. It's one of the most interesting blogs I know of, and it has introduced me to a lot of great stuff, like the artwork of Kahn & Selesnick and Odd Nerdrum. Sadly, it has come to an end. Thanks for all the great posts, misteraitch.
Via wood s lot.

Yeah, I was saddened to learn about the demise of the Giornale. It was a great blog.

I have this book. It looked dense. I'll be checking it out some rainy day.

Great stuff, but what the hell is up with the beige text on a white background?

Thanks homunculus! Apologies for the low-contrast text: that index is in dire need of an overhaul. When I started posting articles from the Curiosities it was not, as far as I knew, available anywhere else on-line, but by the time I'd finished there were several full editions accessible via Google books & Project Gutenberg... But even though it's become almost obsolete, I do intend to revisit, clean up, and further annotate & otherwise improve the Curiosities pages over the coming year or two.

Fantastic post. I have been daydreaming about investing in a Curiosities for some time.
