The titles of research books from the late 1700s and early 1800s; containing an account of obsession

[kadharonon]

I have a thing when it comes to the language of book titles (and quite often the books themselves) that originate in the late 1700s and early 1800s. I am not sure what sort of a thing it is, or why I have it, but it is definitely a thing that causes a thrill of glee when I come across a title that sums up everything that happens in a book in 40

May I metaquote this?

If you would like to, have at it! (It is rather a novelty to be metaquoted...)

This amuses me SO MUCH. You have no idea.

I'm ... mildly relieved that your brain went the same place mine did on that last one. At least I'm not alone in my crazy.

I would kind of expect most people who know little about geology to go there with that last one, but perhaps I'm overestimating the pervasiveness of Star Wars.

Hey, not only did this amuse me the first time you told me about them, I'm still amused.

"and some remarks upon Mr. Perizonius’s vindication of that author"

These would be fun to write.
