Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early days of exploration of prehistoric relics little care was bestowed on discriminating the several layers of deposit through which the spade cut, and what was found was thrown up into a common heap, and little account was taken as to the depths at which the several deposits lay. I had the chance in 1892 of visiting La Laugerie Basse on the Vezere in company with Dr Massenat and M. Philibert Lalande, who conducted the exploration after MM. Christy and Lartet had abandoned the field. They had to carry on the work with very limited means, but they arrived, nevertheless, at conclusions which had escaped the earlier explorers.Ê

A MORE interesting task for the comparative mythologist can hardly be found, than the analysis of the legends attaching to this celebrated soldier-martyr; -- interesting, because these legends contain almost unaltered representative myths of the Semitic and Aryan peoples, and myths which may be traced with certainty to their respective roots. The popular traditions current relating to the Cappadocian martyr are distinct in the East and the West, and are alike sacred myths of faded creeds, absorbed into the newer faith, and recolored. On dealing with these myths, we are necessarily drawn into the discussion as to whether such a person as St. George existed, and if he did exist, whether he were a Catholic or a heretic. Eusebius says (Eccl. Hist. B. viii. c. 5), "Immediately on the first promulgation of the edict (of Diocletian), a certain man of no mean origin, but highly esteemed for his temporal dignities, as soon as the decree was published against the Churches in Nicomedia, stimulated by a divine zeal, and excited by an ardent faith, took it as it was openly placed and posted up for public inspection, and tore it to pieces as a most profane and wicked act. This, too, was done when two of the Caesars were in the city, the first of whom was the eldest and chief of all, and the other held the fourth grade of the imperial dignity after him. But this man, as the first that was distinguished there in this manner, after enduring what was likely to follow an act so daring, preserved his mind calm and serene until the moment when his spirit fled." This martyr, whose name Eusebius does not give, has been generally supposed to be St. George, and if so, this is nearly all we know authentic concerning him. But popular as a saint he unquestionably...

Book excerpt: So begins Sabine Baring-Gould's account of his journey on horseback around Iceland in 1862. Aged twenty-eight, the young writer and teacher was fascinated by the tradition of the Icelandic sagas, and this was the catalyst for his adventure and the book that emerged from it. His voyage took him from the then tiny settlement of Reykjavik through remote and hostile terrain, passing through the empty expanse of Iceland's countryside. He observed mountains and glaciers, volcanoes and geysers, wondering at the wild beauty of the landscape. He also recorded the rich flora and fauna that he saw-and, to his chagrin, that his companions shot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould, Victorian squire and parson of Lewtrenchard, wrote two volumes of Reminiscences these are mostly about his ancestors, the places he visited and the people he met. Very little is about himself and his family. Furthermore, a dearth of diaries and letters has made the task of his biographers difficult. Ron Wawman's transcription and in-depth researches of a recently discovered diary and other material, including several crucial collections of letters, have enabled him to put forward some exciting, new perceptions of the life and character of this important Devonian.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - The great farm hall was ablaze with the fire-light, and noisy with laughter and talk and many-sounding work. None could be idle but the very young and the very old: little Rol, who was hugging a puppy, and old Trella, whose palsied hand fumbled over her knitting. The early evening had closed in, and the farm-servants, come from their outdoor work, had assembled in the ample hall, which gave space for a score or more of workers. Several of the men were engaged in carving, and to these were yielded the best place and light; others made or repaired fishing-tackle and harness, and a great seine net occupied three pairs of hands. Of the women most were sorting and mixing eider feather and chopping straw to add to it. Looms were there, though not in present use, but three wheels whirred emulously, and the finest and swiftest thread of the three ran between the fingers of the house-mistress. Near her were some children, busy too, plaiting wicks for candles and lamps. Each group of workers had a lamp in its centre, and those farthest from the fire had live heat from two braziers filled with glowing wood embers, replenished now and again from the generous hearth. But the flicker of the great fire was manifest to remotest corners, and prevailed beyond the limits of the weaker lights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A fascinating new biography. An endearing portrait of one of the most extraordinary and unusual intellects of modern times.' Matthew Walther The Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould was never a typical Victorian clergyman. Born in 1834, he had very little formal education, experienced nothing of ordinary British society and seldom did what was expected of him. He lived to be almost 90, and in that time was enormously famous across Britain for many different reasons. Baring-Gould was a born writer, turning just about everything into a story. He published 130 full-length books and an immense number of stories, articles, poems and letters. Baring-Gould composed hymns, the most famous of which is 'Onward Christian Soldiers'. He and his wife had fifteen children. Grace was a Yorkshire millgirl when he met her. She was 15 and he was 31. As a couple they were well-known in Victorian times, and a persistent rumour claims that they formed the inspiration for G.Bernard Shaw's 'Pygmalion'. Rebecca Tope, using new research, reveals the man behind the great Victorian and prodigious author. Baring-Gould was a man of enormous energy, intelligence and self-confidence,who made a great impression on all who knew him. The book gets under the skin of its subject, passion for telling stories, and his avid appetite for gathering experience. The author has known and admired his work for over fifty years, and writes about him with affection as well as erudition. Rebecca Tope is the author of over 30 crime novels, with well in excess of a million copies sold. She was also the 'ghost writer' of the three 'Rosemary & Thyme' novels, based on episodes from the TV series. She is also the author of The Spoils of Sin, and Spirit of Destiny. She lives on the English-Welsh border, and has runs her own small press, Praxis Books.
