NEWS. n.s. without the singular, unless it be considered singular; Milton has joined it with a singular verb. [from new; nouvelles, Fr.]
1. Fresh account of anything.

Evil news rides fast, while good news baits.                                  Milton.

2. Papers which give an account of the transactions of the present time.

Their papers, filled with a different party spirit, divide the people into different sentiments, who generally consider rather the principles than the truth of the news-writer.                                                                                   Addison.

A Library of Military History has been an integral part of the Royal United Services Institute since 1831. It houses a unique collection of historic and rare books and makes an important contribution to the preservation of military history. Under its new Librarian Laura Dimmock-Jones, the Library is about to undertake a major strategy to preserve its collection and highlight its importance to the wider community, as she explains in this short film.

You can read more about this at the Institute’s website:

The web-master would like to announce that the first major over-haul of the website is under-way and there are already some new features. Check out the new Miscellanies pages. It is hoped that the new format will make it simpler in future to keep the news and archive sections up to date, but also allow for more features.
