Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials to Serve for a History of the Parish of St. Mary, Rotherhithe: In the Country of Surrey and in the Administrative County of London No such History has ever yet been written, although naturally the great Histories of London devote some space to the Parishes which lie outside the limits of the Cities of London and Westminster. Every Rector of an ancient English Parish owes a debt to his Parish to preserve its memorials from being forgotten, and I hereby endeavour to discharge my debt to Rotherhithe. I could not have discharged it in any satisfactory degree, had I not availed myself of the help of many friends, which I hereby gratefully acknowledge. Besides drawing on the ordinary sources of information which are open to all in the great Histories of the County of Surrey and of London, I have invoked the kind assistance of many friends whose personal recollections of by-gone days are incorporated in the following pages; and of these I now gratefully mention, first and foremost, my old Cambridge friend, Dr Bonney, whose chapter on the Geology of the Thames Valley is a most valuable contribution to the pre-historic era of our ancient Parish; next the Reverend Prebendary Wm. Hutchinson, Vicar of Blurton, near stoke-on-trent, who was from 1836 to 1850 the friend and colleague of the Reverend Edward Blick, when he began his great work of Church-building and School-building in Rotherhithe; Mr F. C. Carr-gomm, who has kindly placed at my disposal his interesting volumes on the Manor of Rotherhithe, and on the earlier years of the life of field-marshal Sir Wm. Maynard Gomm, the Reverend Dr Atkinson, Master of Clare College, for valuable extracts from the College records; and Mr Hector Munro Chadwick, Fellow of Clare, for revising the anglo-saxon derivation of the name Rother hithe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beginning in 1580, London companies sold water to consumers through a large network of wooden mains in the expanding metropolis. This new water industry flourished throughout the 1600s, eventually expanding to serve tens of thousands of homes. By the late eighteenth century, more than 80 percent of the city's houses had water connections-making London the best-served metropolis in the world while demonstrating that it was legally, commercially, and technologically possible to run an infrastructure network within the largest city on earth. Leslie Tomory shows how new technologies imported from the Continent, including waterwheel-driven piston pumps, spurred the rapid growth of London's water industry. The business was further sustained by an explosion in consumer demand. Meanwhile, several key local innovations reshaped the industry by enlarging the size of the supply network. By 1800, the success of London's water industry made it a model for other cities in Europe and beyond as they began to build their own water networks, and it inspired builders of other large-scale urban projects, including gas and sewage supply networks."--Provided by the publisher.
Download or read book History of the Plague in London written by Daniel Defoe and published by LA CASE Books. This book was released on 1800 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of the Plague in London is a historical novel offering an account of the dismal events caused by the Great Plague, which mercilessly struck the city of London in 1665. First published in 1722, the novel illustrates the social disorder triggered by the outbreak, while focusing on human suffering and the mere devastation occupying London at the time. Defoe opens his book with the introduction of his fictional character H.F., a middle-class man who decides to wait out the destruction of the plague instead of fleeing to safety, and is presented only by his initials throughout the novel. Consequently, the narrator records many distressing stories as experienced by London residents, including craze affected people wandering the streets aimlessly, locals trying to escape the disease infected city, and healthy families forced to confine themselves behind closed doors. Apart from these second-hand accounts, the narrator also provides a thorough explanation on how quarantine was managed and kept under control. In addition, he seeks to debunk all squalid rumors which have produced a false interpretation of the bubonic plague. However, not everything is bleak in the account, as the novel offers some affirmative evidence that humanity is still capable of charity, kindness and mercy even in the midst of chaos and confusion. Although regarded as a work of fiction, the author engrosses with his insertion of statistics, government reports and charts which further validate the novel as a precise portrayal the Great Plague.
