MommaLibrarian's Commonplaces: July 2013

Commonplace books (or commonplaces) are a way to compile knowledge, usually by writing information into books. They were journals but mostly scrapbooks of ideas, things observed, and things to remember. By the 1600s, commonplacing had become a recognized practice that was formally taught to college students in such institutions as Oxford. Beautiful blank books are still available for this purpose but the internet is so much more interesting as the content is shared.

If anyone should get the protection of the law for self-defense it is the 14 year old boy stalked and accosted by a strange adult for no reason.
