Please find attached a poster for the 2007/8 series of the North Western Long Eighteenth Century Seminar, details of which also appear below. As you will see, we have a very varied programme organised with a series of fascinating papers and speakers lined up. Please note that we have changed our venue to the newly re-opened John Rylands Library in Manchester and will be meeting on Wednesday afternoons, with our first session on 3 October.

 

If you have any queries, would like A3 copies of the poster to display, or wish to be added to the mailing list, then please contact me ([log in to unmask]). Please do pass this message on to anyone who know who might be interested. Hope to see you all on the 3^rd.
