Hello Larry,
Could I please take sections 4-7. Thanks, Adrian
With pleasure!
Thanks so much.
Oh boy, oh boy. What have I gotten myself into: "It is reserved, therefore, for some modern inquirer to fix it, for certain, whether the strange accomplishment in mind was at any time, in any nation, barbarous or enlightened, in universal repute among venerable females; or else especially imparted, under the rose, as a sort of witch-trick, to conjurers, fortune-tellers, Pythonesses, Sibyls, and such secretive and oracular folk; whether the initiatory lessons were theoretical merely, and at what age the grandams (for the condition of hypermaternity was at least imperative) were allowed to matriculate themselves in the precincts of this lost art."
I feel that I cannot read this with my normal deadpan voice. I shall struggle to find my inner nutty professor to help me.
Best,
Adrian
