I just stumbled across that Google News now has old newspapers stored within it.
http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1302&dat=18870430&id=vcJPAAAAI...
Now I am probably late to the ball, I just hadn't seen a conversation before, and wondered on the extent, both in language and in age. Anyone else managed to have a look see?
