    I am amazed, the more I hear of my distant relative Scott, how much we are alike from looks to reading to our wide variety of interest, but none more shocking than our interest in the occult, not as practitioners, but as the study of the science of it. Simply amazed.

    It seems history wants to forget the Rutherfords. Old family documents shoe that Sir Walter Scott's wife was a Rutherford, and sir John Rutherford's family is intertwined with Scotts.

    You can tell everything about a man from his library. I'd give my right arm just to catalog it.

    First of all, please don't keep those treasure troves locked down in that age-old _castle_ , no one knows when it will come crumbling down or catch fire or worse! Second, someone who's handling such centuries old books, should they have such big nails? You can't even feel the paper with your fingers first, you have to use your nails for turning the pages. Is that ok?

    He was a lesser author than Robert L. Stevenson. I read a number of his books and wasn't impressed at all. Promoted by British Freemasonry, his Rosicrucian nonsense reveals his Kabbalistic leanings.
