Book Burke s Peerage and Baronetage

Download or read book Burke s Peerage and Baronetage written by Charles Mosley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1999 with total page 3347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its first publication in 1826, Burke's Peerage has been rightly regarded as the authoritative reference book on the British aristocracy and, consequently, has become an institution in its own right. The 106th Edition of Burke's, the first to be produced in 30 years, has now been published.Appreciative of the tradition and reputation of Burke's, editor Charles Mosley and his team of academic experts and senior genealogists have been engaged in the revision for several years -- to ensure that this new edition is both accurate and complete. While adhering to its established format in listing the details of 108,000 living people (numerous of whom now live in the United States and in the various countries of the British Commonwealth), the 106th Burke's incorporates some important changes that make this new edition easy to use. For the first time it includes a full index (of some 250 pages) for all living persons. A larger typeface with practical use of bold print and a clearer, easy-to-follow layout combine to make it much simpler to read and understand.In addition, valuable new information is included: preliminary essays on the histories of major families and titles; articles on the principal houses and family seats; a thorough revision of all coats of arms (which have been computer enhanced for greater clarity); and details on the correct forms of address for all living individuals.The 106th Edition of Burke's Peerage and Baronetage, with more than 3,400 pages in two volumes, is the most comprehensive study ever produced of the British aristocracy and its ancestry; it now confirms its position as the indispensable source of reference on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary life of Australia's first international racehorse, from creating new records in Australia to his life in California, where he won the Hollywood Gold Cup In wartime Sydney, a small and weedy racehorse kicked his way through the top tier of Australian racing. He was Shannon, one of the fastest horses the nation had ever seen. Between 1943 and 1947, Shannon broke record after record with his garrulous jockey Darby Munro. When they sensationally lost the Epsom Handicap by six inches, they forever were stamped by the race they didn't win. Sold in August 1947 for the highest price ever paid at auction for an Australian thoroughbred, Shannon ended up in America. Through headline-snatching pedigree flaws, acclimatization, and countless hardships, he blitzed across the ritzy, glitzy racetracks of 1948 California. Smashing track records, world records, and records set by Seabiscuit, the Australian bolted into world fame with speed and courage that defied all odds. Long before Black Caviar, So You Think, and Takeover Target, Shannon was Australia's first international racehorse. Starring Hall of Fame trainers and jockeys, Hollywood lawyers, and legends Bernborough and Citation, this is his tremendous story.
