This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Registers of Christ Church, Newgate, 1538 to 1754 The Register of Christ Church, Newgate, is written throughout on paper, and is kept at present in a safe in the south or Vicar's vestry of the Church. It is in a good state of preservation, there being only a few instances in which the original entries could not be transcribed on account of their having been injured. The Christenings, Marriages, and Burials contained in the following pages are separately classed in the original books of the Register, and are comprised in five volumes, numbered respectively 0, 4, 1, 5, and 23. Volume No. 0 contains the Register of Christenings, Marriages, and Burials from 1538 to 1588, and all the entries have been made in an uniform hand. As appears by a note in the book, it was written in 1586 by (or more probably under the direction of) the Churchwardens, and it is evidently a transcript from an earlier Register. In the Marriages, however, the year 1538 in the original has been altered by a later hand to 1542, and in the Burials to 1540, with a corresponding alteration in subsequent years until 1587. It has been thought better to adhere to the years as altered in the original book. From 1588 until after the Fire of London in 1666, when the Church was destroyed, the Register is missing. It was probably destroyed at the same time as the Church. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are some parts of the world so rich and others so poor? Why did the Industrial Revolution--and the unprecedented economic growth that came with it--occur in eighteenth-century England, and not at some other time, or in some other place? Why didn't industrialization make the whole world rich--and why did it make large parts of the world even poorer? In A Farewell to Alms, Gregory Clark tackles these profound questions and suggests a new and provocative way in which culture--not exploitation, geography, or resources--explains the wealth, and the poverty, of nations. Countering the prevailing theory that the Industrial Revolution was sparked by the sudden development of stable political, legal, and economic institutions in seventeenth-century Europe, Clark shows that such institutions existed long before industrialization. He argues instead that these institutions gradually led to deep cultural changes by encouraging people to abandon hunter-gatherer instincts-violence, impatience, and economy of effort-and adopt economic habits-hard work, rationality, and education. The problem, Clark says, is that only societies that have long histories of settlement and security seem to develop the cultural characteristics and effective workforces that enable economic growth. For the many societies that have not enjoyed long periods of stability, industrialization has not been a blessing. Clark also dissects the notion, championed by Jared Diamond in Guns, Germs, and Steel, that natural endowments such as geography account for differences in the wealth of nations. A brilliant and sobering challenge to the idea that poor societies can be economically developed through outside intervention, A Farewell to Alms may change the way global economic history is understood.

Download or read book The Legal Epic written by Alison A. Chapman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeenth century saw some of the most important jurisprudential changes in England’s history, yet the period has been largely overlooked in the rich field of literature and law. Helping to fill this gap, The Legal Epic is the first book to situate the great poet and polemicist John Milton at the center of late seventeenth-century legal history. Alison A. Chapman argues that Milton’s Paradise Lost sits at the apex of the early modern period’s long fascination with law and judicial processes. Milton’s world saw law and religion as linked disciplines and thought therefore that in different ways, both law and religion should reflect the will of God. Throughout Paradise Lost, Milton invites his readers to judge actions using not only reason and conscience but also core principles of early modern jurisprudence. Law thus informs Milton’s attempt to “justify the ways of God to men” and points readers toward the types of legal justice that should prevail on earth. Adding to the growing interest in the cultural history of law, The Legal Epic shows that England’s preeminent epic poem is also a sustained reflection on the role law plays in human society.
