Google news archive and old patristic translations

Today I learned about the Google news archive, a searchable collection of journals and newspapers.  Sadly much of this is payment only, but older material can be free, and can be located with a little effort.

I located a puff-piece for the Ante-Nicene Fathers series here, in the New York Times for Sept. 2, 1886 on p.2.  Amusingly it neglects to mention that the whole enterprise involved piracy!

I’ve looked for reviews of P.Pusey’s translation of Cyril of Alexandria – in vain, so far.
