Beautiful Old Things
From my break-time trawl through the stacks. There are several shelves of this periodical from the early 1800s. It looks like the bindings are almost, if not actually, as old as the books. Most are in decent condition, but a few spines are broken, allowing me to peek underneath their skirts, so to speak.

Irish Petty Sessions Court Registers, Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland 15 Nov 1899
William Basquil and his wife, Anne, were my 2nd great grand uncle and aunt. John was their son.
