@pooserville@dice.camp that reminds me of this: "In 1839 the third volume of the parochial history appeared, containing an account of the Roman wall; in it Hodgson first clearly established the claim of Emperor Hadrian to be considered as its builder; notably, as the claim isn't a claim on Northumbrian history, it is formatted as a 166-page footnote in the book, taking up about half the book's length. " - Wikipedia John Hodgson's History of Northumberland https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hodgson_(antiquary) #Footnotes #Wikipedia

    @Faintdreams@dice.camp @pooserville@dice.camp That's wonderful! It reminded me of Charles Darwin's 4 volumes on barnacles, two on fossil and two on extant species: https://darwin-online.org.uk/EditorialIntroductions/Richmond_cirripedia.html.
