Download or read book The Story of Leeds written by David Thornton and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly illustrated history that explores every aspect of life in Leeds. This new history of Leeds covers all the main political, social and economic developments of the city: The Harrying of the North devastated the surrounding area in 1069; the Civil War saw a battle fought in the town itself; cholera and typhus epidemics raged in the nineteenth century; the building of the Middleton Railway in 1758 established the oldest railway in the world; and Richard Oastler, the Factory King, launched the campaign for the Ten Hour Bill in the Leeds Mercury. Due emphasis is given to the place of the wool textile industry, the principal industry until the twentieth century. The story is brought right up to date, as are recent changes in the townscape. An intriguing look at this great city's remarkable history.

Download or read book Samuel Wesley 1766 1837 A Source Book written by Michael Kassler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as a child prodigy and later acclaimed as England's finest extempore organist, Samuel Wesley - son of Charles Wesley and nephew of John Wesley, the founders of Methodism - is best known today for his musical compositions and for his promotion of the music of J. S. Bach. At the heart of this source book is a calendar of Samuel Wesley's correspondence. The editors date and summarise the content of over 1100 surviving letters and other documents, most of which have not previously been published. The book accordingly reveals considerable new information about Wesley and his complex personal affairs, including his incarceration for debt and his confinement in a lunatic asylum for a year. Many details are provided about London musical life in the era from Boyce to Mendelssohn that prior scholars have not taken into account. The book also presents a chronology of Wesley's life, a descriptive list of his nearly 550 musical and literary works, a discography, an iconography and a bibliography. It therefore is the most comprehensive available reference source for Wesley's life, times and music.

A mere scanning of the names of those who have, from year to year, delivered these lectures is enough to daunt any newcomer to their ranks; sufficient is it also to quell and selfish pride—except, of course, the rightful pride and honor that one must feel, as I do, in being invited to deliver this lecture, especially as I do it in the city where I was ordained in 1939, and at the completion of my fortieth year in the ministry.” — From the Preface
