Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from County Families of Lancashire and Cheshire The Palatine Counties of Lancaster and Chester have been aptly described as the "seed-plots of gentility," possessing, as they do, in proportion to their respective areas, a larger number of old County Families than are to be found in any other of the English shires; families whose representatives have in successive ages borne their part in the stirring scenes that go to make up our "rough island story," and the names of whom are inseparably linked with the most important events in the nation's history - men who have won pre-eminence by power of brain and prowess of arm, by ability to govern in time of peace and the capacity to command in time of war, and who have fought the battle of English liberty, and helped to lay the foundations of that larger freedom we now enjoy. Of the bygone generations that have acted their busy parts in "Bright embattled fields Of trophied helmets, spears, and shields," the precise genealogist and prosaic antiquary have told us little beyond the brief story of baptism, marriage, and burial; details that, however valuable in themselves, are necessarily dry by reason of the rigid manner in which they are narrated.

Download or read book Old Halls in Lancashire and Cheshire written by Henry Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Halls in Lancashire and Cheshire: Including Notes on the Ancient Domestic Architecture of the Counties Palatine With Numerous Illustrations As minute architectural descriptions are not easily followed by the general public, and are apt to be found tedious even by professional readers, I have endeavoured so far as possible to Supply their place by accurate drawings. In the illustrations accompanying topographical books it has been too common to take great liberties with facts in order to attain picturesqueness of effect. In the sketches and ground plans contained in the present work the information of the reader has been the object strictly kept in view, and the utmost pains have been taken to ensure absolute accuracy. -in the case of the quadrangular houses bird's-eye views have been given, as no other method of representation would convey any just idea of their size and importance. Owing to pressure of business, I have been obliged to forego the pleasure of making these drawings with my own hand. The illustrations have, therefore, been prepared by others, in part from my own sketches, and in part from carefully measured drawings made specially for this work under my direction. I have to express my thanks to my friends Messrs. W. W. Baldwin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Thomas Starkey and the Commonweal written by and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Starkey (c. 1495-1538) was the most Italianate Englishman of his generation. This book places Starkey into new and more appropriate contexts, both biographical and intellectual, taking him out of others in which he does not belong, from displaced Roundhead to follower of Marsilio of Padua. Beginning with his native Cheshire, it traces his career through Oxford, Padua, Paris, Avignon, Padua again, and finally England, where he spent the last four years of his life trying to fulfil his ambition to serve the commonweal. Most of Starkey's career revolved around his patron Reginald Pole, scion of the highest nobility, but Starkey (and many other Englishmen) managed to balance loyalty to Pole with allegiance to Henry VIII. Out of favour with the king's secretary after the middle of 1536, Starkey turned increasingly to religion, continuing to cling to his conciliarist and Italian Evangelical opinions until his death.
