Old Times Re-Visited in the Borough and Parish of Lymington, Hants (Classic Reprint) by Edward King Pdf

Excerpt from Old Times Re-Visited in the Borough and Parish of Lymington, Hants As to the Sketches which accompany the text, and I hope enliven it, perhaps I may be allowed to say a word or two. For several reasons it was found impossible to employ an artist (who would necessarily be a stranger from a distance, entirely unacquainted with the locality) to delineate subjects, several of which have been long destroyed, and others of which the originals could not be borrowed or transmitted for copying. I have been obliged to rely on my own hand for their execution; and as the work of an amateur advanced in life they will be judged as they deserve. They are merely pictorial memoranda, of things that could not be described by words. They make no pretence to fine execution or artistic taste, and will therefore, I hope, escape criticism.

'The Damned Fraternitie': Constructing Gypsy Identity in Early Modern England, 1500–1700 by Frances Timbers Pdf

'The Damned Fraternitie': Constructing Gypsy Identity in Early Modern England, 1500–1700 examines the construction of gypsy identity in England between the early sixteenth century and the end of the seventeenth century. Drawing upon previous historiography, a wealth of printed primary sources (including government documents, pamphlets, rogue literature, and plays), and archival material (quarter sessions and assize cases, parish records and constables's accounts), the book argues that the construction of gypsy identity was part of a wider discourse concerning the increasing vagabond population, and was further informed by the religious reformations and political insecurities of the time. The developing narrative of a fraternity of dangerous vagrants resulted in the gypsy population being designated as a special category of rogues and vagabonds by both the state and popular culture. The alleged Egyptian origin of the group and the practice of fortune-telling by palmistry contributed elements of the exotic, which contributed to the concept of the mysterious alien. However, as this book reveals, a close examination of the first gypsies that are known by name shows that they were more likely Scottish and English vagrants, employing the ambiguous and mysterious reputation of the newly emerging category of gypsy. This challenges the theory that sixteenth-century gypsies were migrants from India and/or early predecessors to the later Roma population, as proposed by nineteenth-century gypsiologists. The book argues that the fluid identity of gypsies, whose origins and ethnicity were (and still are) ambiguous, allowed for the group to become a prime candidate for the 'other', thus a useful tool for reinforcing the parameters of orthodox social behaviour.

Old Times Re-Visited in the Borough and Parish of Lymington, Hants by Edward King Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ...died 29th August, 1813, Aged 55 years. He seems to have married here, and died quietly in his bed. Another is as follows: --To tht Memory of ISIDORE DE VAUDREUIL, Of the Regiment of Loyal Emigrants, Brave and Good, Lamented by all those who knew him. He was drowned while bathing with his Friends, The 7th of August, 1796, AGED 22 YEARS. There is also this one, which records a member of the family of Count de Soulange, one of the principal leaders and victims of the Quiberon expedition: --Sacred To the Memory of AMARANTE EMILIE DE SOULANGE, The Wife of CAPT. CHARLES DE MENARD, Died in child-bed, on the 19th of June, 1798, In the 28th year of her age. Heu! Lumina, flete diu! On the stone, the name is Vendesal; but in the Parish Register it is clearly (and more accurately) written Vaudreuil. T retained its convenient position on the Channel Coast, the gap was at once filled up; and it was fixed on as a military dep6t for a miscellaneous body of soldiers, the debris of various armies and troops that had fought on the Continent, particularly in Holland and the North of France. They were a more miscellaneous and rough assemblage of men--common soldiers only: --"The camp their home, their law the sword, They knew no country, owned no lord." Their behaviour was as their position in life: they were a turbulent and unruly set of men. Duels among the officers were not unfrequent; crimes of violence (among the men) were but little thought of: they had long been accustomed to warfare and scenes of blood. Flogging was continually going on at the barrack yard in Church Lane: six or more of a morning was a common and ordinary occurrence. Two rival bodies once turned out (as I have been informed) with fixed bayonets, in Broad Lane, where the parades...

The Manor and the Borough by Beatrice Webb Pdf

Originally published in 1963, this book examines the English Local Government, and more specifically, the Manor and the Parish, considering the various exemptions, immunities and franchises which enabled the inhabitants of particular localities to exclude the authority of the county at large, or that of one or other of its officers, and thereby enjoy, within their own favoured areas, some peculiar forms of self-government. The book includes chapters on the city and borough of Westminster, the boroughs of Wales, administration by municipal democracies and the municipal revolution.

George III by Jeremy Black Pdf

The sixty-year reign of George III (1760–1820) witnessed and participated in some of the most critical events of modern world history: the ending of the Seven Years’ War with France, the American War of Independence, the French Revolutionary Wars, the campaign against Napoleon Bonaparte and battle of Waterloo in 1815, and Union with Ireland in 1801. Despite the pathos of the last years of the mad, blind, and neglected monarch, it is a life full of importance and interest. Jeremy Black’s biography deals comprehensively with the politics, the wars, and the domestic issues, and harnesses the richest range of unpublished sources in Britain, Germany, and the United States. But, using George III’s own prolific correspondence, it also interrogates the man himself, his strong religious faith, and his powerful sense of moral duty to his family and to his nation. Black considers the king’s scientific, cultural, and intellectual interests as no other biographer has done, and explores how he was viewed by his contemporaries. Identifying George as the last British ruler of the Thirteen Colonies, Black reveals his strong personal engagement in the struggle for America and argues that George himself, his intentions and policies, were key to the conflict.
