I noticed today that a reader of one of my blog posts came to me because he or she had clicked on a link in an article on the website of The Cambridge Historical Commission called Practical Patents: 19th Century Cambridge.
So I went there and scrolled through the whole thing and there at the bottom was a list called Sources. And by golly there I am in the following citation:
“Here’s Howe we got the sewing machine, the spring bed and a better bridge.” https://ronhaines.org/2015/09/01/heres-howe-we-got-the-sewing-machine-the-spring-bed-and-a-better-bridge/.
Makes me feel almost erudite, or something. Like magic, my words have become something someone else cites. Perhaps I am a sourcerer. And yes, it’s the first time, so I thought a little bragging was in order.
