Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landmarks of the History of England My Dear Macready, As you retain the same interest in the education and improvement of your countrymen which you so actively promoted by the finest and most intellectual dramatic efforts of modem times, I dedicate to you this little volume, which contains the substance of a course of lectures delivered to the Mechanics' Institute of this district. They are now presented in the more ambitious form of "Chapters," but I have not changed the style of their composition, and have only diminished such portions of their local colouring as made them peculiarly applicable to my own friends. It is with the hope of their being useful to other institutions of the same kind, and generally to persons who have not time for larger and deeper histories, that I have published them in this cheap and commodious form. I know you will forgive the faults of the York from friendship to the author; and I trust others will be equally benevolent for the sake of the cause to which it is devoted. Believe me, my dear Macready, Ever yours truly, James White. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Foundation written by Peter Ackroyd and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book in Peter Ackroyd's history of England series, which has since been followed up with two more installments, Tudors and Rebellion. In Foundation, the chronicler of London and of its river, the Thames, takes us from the primeval forests of England's prehistory to the death, in 1509, of the first Tudor king, Henry VII. He guides us from the building of Stonehenge to the founding of the two great glories of medieval England: common law and the cathedrals. He shows us glimpses of the country's most distant past--a Neolithic stirrup found in a grave, a Roman fort, a Saxon tomb, a medieval manor house--and describes in rich prose the successive waves of invaders who made England English, despite being themselves Roman, Viking, Saxon, or Norman French. With his extraordinary skill for evoking time and place and his acute eye for the telling detail, Ackroyd recounts the story of warring kings, of civil strife, and foreign wars. But he also gives us a vivid sense of how England's early people lived: the homes they built, the clothes the wore, the food they ate, even the jokes they told. All are brought vividly to life in this history of England through the narrative mastery of one of Britain's finest writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landmarks in the History of the English Language identifies twelve key landmarks spread throughout the language’s history to provide a lively and interesting introduction to the history of English. Each landmark focuses on one individual associated with the key moment which helps to engage the reader and provide the history of the language with a ‘human face’. The landmarks range from Alfred the Great and his attempts to further English through its use in education, to the spread of English worldwide and the work of the linguist Braj Kachru. The final chapter takes a look into the future through the writings of David Crystal. Whilst focusing on the specific events and people, the book includes a broad outline of the history of English so that the reader can locate each landmark within the language’s history. Written in a student-friendly style and with short activities available online, this book provides a brief introduction for those coming to the topic for the first time, as well an engaging supplementary text for those studying modules on the history of English on degrees in English Language, Linguistics and Literature. General readers with an interest in the English language and its history will also find the book engaging.
Download or read book Landmark written by Anna Keay and published by Frances Lincoln. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging and sumptuously illustrated book celebrates the Landmark Trust’s achievement in the protection of British heritage since it was first established 50 years ago. From a medieval hall house to the winner of the 2013 Stirling Prize for Architecture, 50 buildings rescued by Landmark from threatened oblivion are presented here, vividly illustrating the history of Britain from 1250 to the present day. Presented in the order in which they were built, the selected buildings include the unusual, the fantastic, the spectacular, the utilitarian and the enchanting, each one offering a fascinating glimpse into the past of the British people. From a 15th-century inn in Suffolk to an Elizabethan hospital in Yorkshire, a lighthouse on Lundy to an Italianate railway station, each has a fascinating story. In telling the stories of how each of these buildings came to be, how they were used and how they were adapted by subsequent generations, this book brings history to life through the evidence in the buildings our ancestors have left behind. The Landmark Trust’s often heroic rescue of each of these buildings is also placed in the context of the Trust’s own evolution to date and the history of British conservation practice. For those interested in British history or architecture, this enthralling book will bring fresh insights into both; for everyone interested in buildings conservation, the book will provide an insight into the unique national treasure that is the Landmark Trust.
