OMG. That would be so awesome!

I hadn't see the first sketch, thank you!

What are you playing at, Algarotti?

If I read nothing else, I do need to read the Algarotti chapter (and subsequent Algarotti mentions) at some point.

I also meant to say in the other comment that I'm glad they managed to be friends in the last few years of their lives. Especially since those unrequited love letters I summarized a while back are so painful. :/
