Turning the Pages
The British Library
http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/ttp/ttpbooks.html
"Turning the Pages is the award-winning interactive program that allows
museums and libraries to give members of the public access to precious books
while keeping the originals safely under glass. Initially developed by and
for the British Library, it is now available as a service for institutions
and private collectors around the world."
"Turn the Pages online of 14 wonderful and unique books, including a
Leonardo da Vinci notebook, the Lindisfarne Gospels, Sultan Baybars' Qur'an,
Jane Austen's History of England and Lewis Carroll's original Alice
manuscript"
This site needs shockwave to view the pages but is a truly wonderful website
with text and audio!

"Manners are of more importance
than laws. Manners are what vex
or soothe,
corrupt or purify, exalt or
debase, barbarize or refine us,
by a constant,
steady, uniform, insensible
operation, like that of the air
we breathe in."
Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
