Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Times Re-Visited in the Borough and Parish of Lymington, Hants Connected with every locality in England there are numerous facts, which, as being below the dignity of history, tend quickly to be forgotten; though they become, in after years, subjects of great interest to the inhabitants. Without them the past is a mere blank; but when they are re-called into existence by the medium of the press, bygone years and long-forgotten individuals start again into life and remembrance. The writer who has to search and recover these nearly effaced traces, labours under disadvantages, varying at different periods of life. In youth, experience and knowledge are wanting; in middle life, leisure time is generally deficient; and at a more advanced period, a lack of energy, both of mind and body, usually puts a peremptory stop to any continuous efforts. An attempt was made, as regards Lymington, in this way, by Mr. Charles St. Barbe, Banker, about 1848, who began some MS. colledions for the purpose. But he ws far advanced in life; and he had scarcely commenced, when increasing infirmity, and death, arrested his labours. His rough manuscript transcripts were printed after his decease, in London; and the numerous errors which unavoidably accompanied such an immature effort were increased by blunders of the printer, either overlooked or left uncorrected by a friend who nominally superintended the impression. The result was unsatisfactory: to none more so than to his own family. His sons accordingly, who knew my acquaintance with their late father and with the suhject, presented me with the woodcuts; with a request that, if circumstances permitted, at a future time I would bring out a more complete and satisfactory edition of his or a similar) work. The present little volume is a redemption of this promise; for, after many years, a brief interval of comparative leisure has enabled me to undertake, what I have wished to perform from the time of my youth.

This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Damned Fraternitie': Constructing Gypsy Identity in Early Modern England, 1500–1700 examines the construction of gypsy identity in England between the early sixteenth century and the end of the seventeenth century. Drawing upon previous historiography, a wealth of printed primary sources (including government documents, pamphlets, rogue literature, and plays), and archival material (quarter sessions and assize cases, parish records and constables's accounts), the book argues that the construction of gypsy identity was part of a wider discourse concerning the increasing vagabond population, and was further informed by the religious reformations and political insecurities of the time. The developing narrative of a fraternity of dangerous vagrants resulted in the gypsy population being designated as a special category of rogues and vagabonds by both the state and popular culture. The alleged Egyptian origin of the group and the practice of fortune-telling by palmistry contributed elements of the exotic, which contributed to the concept of the mysterious alien. However, as this book reveals, a close examination of the first gypsies that are known by name shows that they were more likely Scottish and English vagrants, employing the ambiguous and mysterious reputation of the newly emerging category of gypsy. This challenges the theory that sixteenth-century gypsies were migrants from India and/or early predecessors to the later Roma population, as proposed by nineteenth-century gypsiologists. The book argues that the fluid identity of gypsies, whose origins and ethnicity were (and still are) ambiguous, allowed for the group to become a prime candidate for the 'other', thus a useful tool for reinforcing the parameters of orthodox social behaviour.

Excerpt: ...died 29th August, 1813, Aged 55 years. He seems to have married here, and died quietly in his bed. Another is as follows: --To tht Memory of ISIDORE DE VAUDREUIL, Of the Regiment of Loyal Emigrants, Brave and Good, Lamented by all those who knew him. He was drowned while bathing with his Friends, The 7th of August, 1796, AGED 22 YEARS. There is also this one, which records a member of the family of Count de Soulange, one of the principal leaders and victims of the Quiberon expedition: --Sacred To the Memory of AMARANTE EMILIE DE SOULANGE, The Wife of CAPT. CHARLES DE MENARD, Died in child-bed, on the 19th of June, 1798, In the 28th year of her age. Heu! Lumina, flete diu! On the stone, the name is Vendesal; but in the Parish Register it is clearly (and more accurately) written Vaudreuil. T retained its convenient position on the Channel Coast, the gap was at once filled up; and it was fixed on as a military dep6t for a miscellaneous body of soldiers, the debris of various armies and troops that had fought on the Continent, particularly in Holland and the North of France. They were a more miscellaneous and rough assemblage of men--common soldiers only: --"The camp their home, their law the sword, They knew no country, owned no lord." Their behaviour was as their position in life: they were a turbulent and unruly set of men. Duels among the officers were not unfrequent; crimes of violence (among the men) were but little thought of: they had long been accustomed to warfare and scenes of blood. Flogging was continually going on at the barrack yard in Church Lane: six or more of a morning was a common and ordinary occurrence. Two rival bodies once turned out (as I have been informed) with fixed bayonets, in Broad Lane, where the parades...
