COMMENTS.
ABOVE are three (3) pages from the book entitled:
1. “Where they lived”.
2. “When they lived”.
3. “How they lived”.
“They lived” in the US & UK, according to Gottlieb & Bowers. The Anglophones were shown as influential English language speakers.
“They lived” between the 18th & 20th centuries, according to Gottlieb & Bowers.
The role of printer Benjamin Franklin is evident in the text of the book. Money talks … money talks … money talks … money talks … etcetera.
