reviewed George Washington's false teeth on January 15, 2010 George Washington's false teeth
This book is a collection of essays on the Enlightenment era of the 18th Century. Of particular interest is Chapter 2, which deals with "news networks" in 18th Century Paris. Newspapers as we know them didn't exist and anything of that character would in fact have been illegal. So how did people learn about what was going on? Darnton's history, pieced together relying on administrative and police records of the era, is fascinating. Every person working in the news business would benefit from this essay.
