Australian library recovers 150-year-old book

A book borrowed from a small Australian library in Kiama in the late 1800s has been returned after 150 years. The "Antiquities of Athens," a volume from 1858 featuring Greek monuments, was stored in a sealed fireplace and discovered recently by a family member. The book's history is linked to John Simmons, an architect and stonemason who studied in London and contributed to the construction of the Houses of Parliament. The library's records from that period are lost, but the book is now part of a special collection and is no longer available for borrowing.
