Research suggests the author of the notes was Edward Hale, an apothecary and barber surgeon, who resided in the village of Hambledon, Hampshire, UK, from 1720. The notes were compiled between 1724 and 1740.
This shot, while not very inspiring, was taken from approximately the same position and field of view as this 1885 photo in the State Library of Victoria's collection. handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/69133
And here's a presentation outlining how I calculated the position and field of view of the original photo. It's pretty self-explanatory.

I cannot help myself. Here’s a story about records, books, postage, recycling and reuse.
This box started out life containing 16 copies of Patrick O’Farrell’s paperback book with ISBN 0-86840-635-X, sent from the University of New South Wales Press (printed on the box). It must have been sent to Readings bookshop in Carlton, who reused it to send something to Dr Phillip Law (1912-2010) at his home in Canterbury (address label on the bottom of the box, unfortunately Post Paid Australia with no postmark). Dr Law used it to store excess publications about Antarctica (inscribed on the box in his own hand). On the death of Dr Law in 2010, the box ended up with us, the eScholarship Research Centre, who have been working with Dr Law on his papers since the mid 1980s. We have the final material from Dr Law now processed and boxed in special National Library of Australia boxes, ready for transfer to their custody.
Looking up the book in the National Library of Australia’s Trove catalogue and checking the ISBNs of the different editions reveals that this box originally held the third edition of The Irish in Australia, published in 2000.
I needed a box to send 18 copies of a book we have just published (November 2011), Founders, Firsts and Feminists: Women Leaders in Twentieth-century Australia, to a conference being held in Canberra next week. This box did the job nicely!
Iris meets her first Antarctic explorer, Dr Phillip Law - both April babies. Dr Law loved her curious nature.

Took some time out today to see a public dissection of a Giant Squid at the Museum of Victoria. The squid was caught by commercial fishermen off the coast of Portland in Victoria, May 26, 2008. Recognising it was an unusual find they put the specimen on ice and contacted the Department of Primary Industries (I assume this because some of the first images on the boat I see are credit to Paul McCoy of DPI.)
The shots you see following are what I recorded in a dimly lit auditorium in the Science and Life Gallery. Later on, closer shots where allowed under better lighting conditions.
The dissection was undertaken by Dr Mark Norman (pictured) Deputy Head of Science (Marine Zoology) and a team of scientists (find) at the Museum of Victoria. Dr Mark is a bit of a Squid nerd and a pretty good public speaker.

It is said to have a bitter and astringent taste, and stops bleeding and speeds healing. It is used for diarrhea (athisaara), Amoebic dysentery (raktaatisaara), bleeding piles, gynecological disorders, skin diseases, bronchitis, general weakness and impotence.
Most commonly used part is the root, but leaves, flowers, bark, and fruit can also be implemented.

This morning, Gavan McCarthy and I picked up two steel bins, lined with fire retardant insulation, in which Dr Phillip Law has kept his diaries and notebooks, written during his time as Director of the Australian Antarctic Division, documenting his many trips to Antarctica in setting up Australia's scientific research stations there. The diaries are going to the National Library of Australia, where much of his personal collection already resides. It was a momentous occasion for all of us. I have worked with Dr Law, on and off, on his collection since 1999.
Yes, it was cold in Melbourne this morning!
This morning I visited Dr Law as part of a continuing relationship between he and the Australian Science and Technology Heritage Centre (formerly the Australian Science Archives Project). The Centre has spent almost twenty years on and off documenting his personal record collection (seven of which it has been my pleasure to do, as his "personal archivist").
We had a nice chat, and he was happy for me to post these photos. I will soon include them in the online guide to his records, now held by the National Library of Australia.
