At left: Hight at Marsh’s Library in Dublin, Ireland. In the early 18th century, books were so valuable that reading libraries had to lock patrons into reading cubbies to prevent the theft of books. Here Hight poses before one of those cubbies. 
A cool bonus: while in Dublin, Ireland presenting at a conference, I got to see (and handle!) a first edition of Berkeley’s Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge, dated 1710.
