Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Nottingham, Embracing Its Antiquities, Trade, and Manufactures, From the Earliest Authentic Records, to the Present Period In history, as in the science of astronomy, there 15 a certain space, beyond which, the native and artificial powers of man, never will enable him to penetrate. The virtuoso, who delights to wander in the fogs of his own raising, may grope, if be please, in the nebulous regions of history; but until it be proved that some good is likely to result to mankind from his labours, I shall not attempt to follow him into his darksome retreat. For what matters it to us whether the ancient Druids dwelt 111 rpcky caves, 01; in huts of a conic form or whether they transmitted their legends from father to son by oral or written means which, to the world are now no more, except what are pretended to be preserved by modern dreamers, to feed the folly, and waft the flame of the readers of romance, a Species of composition which tends so much to dissipate the morals of the fair part of the creation, that the Almighty wisely created to solace the other sex through the thorny path of life but who, for want of due attention being paid to their education, and a proper cultivation of their morals, when nature begins to bloom, too often implant the thorn, instead of the rose, in the breast of the partners of their bed.

Book excerpt: "This is a serious and valuable contribution to the vast literature of urbanism." -"Journal of European Studies" Although the social and economic aspects of modern urbanization are readily apparent, the impact of city growth on ideas and attitudes rarely receives the attention it deserves. In "Cities Perceived," Andrew Lees fills this research gap by examining a number of trends including the cultural assimilation of European and American urbanization in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the common view on the effects of rural and urban migration during the Industrial Revolution. He additionally analyzes the variances among the perceptions of urban life based on decade, country, occupation, and social group. Lees also offers insight on how urban problems both stem from and stimulate the efforts that are intended to address them. Drawing from a wide range of sources, Lees illuminates the complex fears and enthusiasms aroused by the rapid growth of cities in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A comparative framework encompasses developments in America as well as in Britain, France, and Germany, in addition to evidence of ambivalent as well as strongly positive attitudes toward urbanization that complement the more familiar theme of hostility common in previous writing. "Cities Perceived" is a scholarly overview of one of the fundamental transfor-mations of the age. This groundbreaking work on social and cultural history is essential reading for urban historians and students of literature and sociology. Andrew Lees has been a member of the Rutgers-Camden faculty since 1974. He teaches broadly in the areas of European and comparative European/American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Antiquities of Nottingham, Vol. 1 It is not an affected humility, but proceeds from the sincere and deep feeling of my heart, that I acknowledge with gratitude the generous kindness of the subscribers who have enabled me to commence, and carry on to completion, the present work. To their honour I must bear testimony, that the patronage promised before the first sheet was put to press, has been steadily and cheerfully continued to the end. Perhaps a more remarkable example of public candour was never witnessed, than has been shown in the ready reception which this book has met with; for notwithstanding its many imperfections, which I beg explicitly to acknowledge, the number of patrons has gone on so fast increasing, that every disposable copy of the entire edition was sold long before the latter numbers were printed or compiled! Before adverting to the distinguishing characteristics of this work, it is due to their talents and industry, that a grateful acknowledgment should be made of the labours of those distinguished men, by whom I have been preceded, and to whom I am so much indebted. John Rouse, a monk of Warwick, was the first to write a "History of Nottingham," about the year 1500, Leland refers to it, p. 7; it is not now extant, and probably it might have perished in the general destruction of literature that unhappily distinguished the overthrow of the papal authority in England, and the establishment of the Anglican hierarchy in the reign of Henry VIII.
