History Online
"You cannot imagine what great delight this profession affords. It's as if . . . in every inarticulate scrawl, in every collection of forgotten chronicles, there presides a mischievous sprite, winking at you, who at the appropriate time confers on you your reward in the form of renewed wonder."
-Jacques Yonnet
