Another interesting blog

Just found this blog written by the historian John L. Hancock, called Liberty Inherited. Lots of interesting stuff, particularly on the links between English and American thought. Here is a posting on the Second Amendment that causes frissons of horror in so many people on this side of the Pond who obviously do not know that the right to bear arms first appeared in the Declaration of Rights in 1689, a document that needs a little more attention than it usually gets.
