You are 7 years my senior. My brothers and sisters are 10,11, and 12 years my senior. I have always felt like a caboose of sorts. Dads' last stand as it were. This may seem irrelevant, but....really, what is?
Greetings. I have been enjoying a look around your blog. Informatively, the archive.org link does not provide a downloadable copy of The Origins of English Individualism; https://annas-archive.org is the best site I have run across for accessing digital books and this title is available there.
Anna's Archive provides books in various formats. For converting, say, epub to PDF I have found https://www.freeconvert.com to be at least as useful as sites charging $40 or $50 a month; Free Convert requires only that you allow advertising when visiting.
