Extract

All students of Milton and most casual visitors to the British Museum know that Milton's family Bible is now part of the manuscript collection of the Museum (MS. Add. 32,310), and that it is regularly on display in one of the exhibition cases. It is of course kept open at the page which contains the well-known entries of births and deaths of various members of Milton's family, including himself, and few people realize that it contains anything else of interest.
