The Internet is awesome, isn't it?

I've been looking at stuff about the Crimean War, because I read a reference in a book about W.H. Russell's telegram dispatches from the Crimea being the first instance of immediate, on-the-spot reporting on war that really affected the people back in Britain, as it showed the discombobulation of the troops, which I found interesting. But there's no end of things to look at, really.

And honestly, looking at it online is a lot less unnerving than looking at original copies of books published in the 18th century. SO OLD SO FRAGILE WHAT IF I BREAK IT etc.
