Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.
Eliza Ball Hayley in profile (facing right), looking down while at some form of handiwork: possibly sharpening a pen, or preparing materials for needlework. b&w/sepia Detail from lost Romney watercolour, which also features William Hayley and Captain Howell, a protegé of William Hayley’s who was lost at sea.
@fbls.bsky.social observes how “Scholarly references to Hayley are … always in relation to her husband, hardly ever recognising her own intellectual merit.” A pity, as Hayley had plenty to say… bit.ly/ElizaHayleyAuthor #lifewriting #18thC #c18th #womenshistory #womenswriting #reputation

Thank you Lisa 🥰❤️
Title page of Eliza Ball Hayley’s first book. Text reads ESSAYS ON FRIENDSHIP AND OLD-AGE BY THE MARCHIONESS DE LAMBERT Que tout ce qu’elle dit est grace ; Tout ce qu’elle pense, raison. LA MOTTE TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH BY A LADY WITH AN INTRODUCTORY LETTER TO WILLIAM MELMOTH, ESQ. LONDON PRINTED FOR J.DODSLEY, PALL-MALL. M. DCC.LXXX.
Incidentally, bit.ly/ElizaHayleyAuthor wasn’t @fbls.bsky.social’s first piece on Eliza Hayley. She wrote a fantastic essay on Hayley’s 1780 book: a #translation of 𝙀𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙊𝙡𝙙-𝘼𝙜𝙚 by the Marchioness de Lambert. Read it at bit.ly/FBS-WTW #lifewriting #18thC #c18th #womenshistory
