Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... successful career in the past. At one time hunting and turf disputes were largely settled here, but Tattersall's has taken its place in such arbitrations. But it still remains the club of 's, and the memory of such a prominent one as George Lane Fox is as green here as is that of the easy-going Charles James Fox 1 or the dignified Mr Gibbon. BRooKs's The history of Brooks's is the political history of the country, from one point of view, during the latter half of the eighteenth century onwards, or until the essentially party clubs in Pall Mall to some extent took over the burden. A volume might be written on the club as a centre of Whiggism and Liberalism. In such a history ' There used to be a. portrait of Fox here, but it has disappeared. the great names of Fox and Sheridan would stand out prominently, even among the crowd of illustrious statesmen who have belonged to Brooks's, and whose political activities have been so closely identified with the club as to place it in the position of a handmaid to one side of the House of Commons. It is because the annals of Brooks's are so interwoven with those of the country during the period indicated that it enters into the history of our land more intimately than does any other similar society. Sir George Trevelyan does not overstate the fact when he calls it " the most famous political club that will ever have existed in England " 1; and although its origin, like that of most of the earlier clubs, was not political (as we can see by the collocation, as members, of such men as the Duke of Grafton and the Duke of Richmond, Lord Weymouth and the Duke of Portland), it speedily became the headquarters of Liberal opinion. But it must not be...

One morning in May 1671, Colonel Thomas Blood daringly attempted to seize the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London. Astonishingly, he managed to escape with St Edward's Crown and the Coronation Regalia before being apprehended. Fervently and religiously nonconformist, Blood had been involved in many plots to assassinate King Charles II and overthrow the Stuart government. He had also participated in an attempted coup d'état in Ireland and was publicly labelled the 'Father of all Treasons'. And yet he was not instantly executed for treason. Instead, the king granted him a generous income from lands in Ireland and he became a familiar strutting figure in the glittering state apartments of the royal court. Bestselling historian Robert Hutchinson tells the gripping tale of one of the most enigmatic and alluring figures in the history of Britain. Blood was a hunted man across the kingdom, and Hutchinson explores the dangerous life of a double agent during the Restoration. While serving as the king's personal spy, Blood was supporting those who conspired to murder him. In an age when gossip and intrigue ruled the coffee houses, he also hired himself out as a freelance agent for those wishing to further their ambitions in the cockpit of late seventeenth-century politics. The Audacious Crimes of Colonel Blood is the compelling story of a man bent on ambiguous political and personal motivation, as well as an extraordinary account of the court of Charles II and the perils and conspiracies that constantly surrounded the 'Merry Monarch'.

The Pursuit of Pleasure presents the figures of the rambler and the cyprian, the Eighteenth Century precursors to the Parisian flGneur and prostitute. The urban spaces traced by these figures were the clubs, sporting venues, operas, assembly rooms, streets and arcades of central London.Drawing on critical theory, geography and philosophy, The Pursuit of Pleasure extends and critiques the discipline of architectural history from a feminist perspective. The gendering of public space is considered to be a complex and shifting series of moves and looks between men and women, constructed and represented through spatial and social relations of consumption, display and exchange.Illustrated with contemporary prints and drawings, The Pursuit of Pleasure is an extraordinarily rich analysis of the gendered issues of public space at the birth of the modern metropolis.

The thrust of these five volumes is contained in their title, London Opera Observ’d. It takes its cue from the numerous texts and volumes which — during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries — used the concept of ‘spying’ or ‘observing’ by a narrator, or rambler, as a means of establishing a discourse on aspects of London life. The material in this five-volume reset edition examines opera not simply as a genre of performance, but as a wider topic of comment and debate. The stories that surrounded the Italian opera singers illuminate contemporary British attitudes towards performance, sexuality and national identity. The collection includes only complete, published material organised chronologically so as to accurately retain the contexts in which the original readers encountered them — placing an emphasis on rare texts that have not been reproduced in modern editions. The aim of this collection is not to provide a history of opera in England but to facilitate the writing of them or to assist those wishing to study topics within the field. Headnotes and footnotes establish the publication information and provide an introduction to the piece, its author, and the events surrounding it or which caused its publication. The notes concentrate on attempting to identify those figures mentioned within the texts. The approach is one of presentation, not interpretation, ensuring that the collection occupies a position that is neutral rather than polemical.
