Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wedding Bells and Chimney Sweeps is a wideranging, highly readable collection of information about marriage, a miscellany of facts, lore, statistics, old wives' tales, historical snippets, anecdotes, quotations, myths and superstitions.From the origin of the reading of banns to marriages conducted by ships' captains, the significance to a bride of the wooden spoon to the tradition of tossing her garter, the red tape required before a marriage can take place to Amish weddings and wedlock in literature, here is a book in which readers, married, soon-to-be-married, or determinedly single, are bound to find something to interest, amuse, astonish or, sometimes, appal them.Whether read or dipped into by anxious fiancé, nervous bride, doubtful father-in-law, doting aunt, beaming bridesmaid or melancholy former lover - or simply someone with a passing interest in some of our oldest traditions, religious and pagan - this is a book to delight even the least romantically minded reader.
Download or read book A King s Ransom written by Simon Burrows and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Charles Théveneau de Morande was a character in a novel, he would be considered the ultimate anti-hero. Morande's historical significance far transcends his success as a blackmailer and scandalous pamphleteer. Having extorted the French monarchy he turned coat and during the War of American Independence and throughout the 1780s was France's leading political spy in London. In addition, he was a highly successful police agent among his fellow exiles and one of the most influential journalists of his time. His enemies or victims - who invariably suffered intense damage to their reputations - included many of the most colourful figures of his day. Nevertheless, Morande survived the wrath of both Louis XV and the revolution, outlived his enemies, and died peacefully in his bed. Morande's life story is a tale of intrigue, blackmail, espionage, duels, kidnap, murder, politics, conspiracy and crime. At the same time, it offers a chance to examine some of the most important issues of French history and revolution.

Download or read book Chimneys and Chimney Sweeps written by Benita Cullingford and published by Shire Publications. This book was released on 2008-03-04 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although it has been an established and essential trade since the twelfth century, chimney sweeping has long been a controversial business. The figure of the chimney sweep became an increasingly common sight on the streets of London with the urbanisation of the eighteenth century, and during the Victorian era the visible plight of the 'poor climbing boys' stirred a growing concern for the welfare of children employed in the trade, inspiring a movement for political reform. Drawing from the original accounts of master sweeps, contemporary literature, parliamentary records and surviving architecture, Benita Cullingford here traces the origin and development of the chimney itself as well as the social and professional aspects of the trade - the lives sweeps led, the dangers they faced, the way they worked and the transformations wrought by the rise of sweeping 'machines' in the nineteenth century"--Back cover.
