Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stirling Peerage: Trial of Alexander Humphrys or Alexander, Styling Himself Earl of Stirling, Before the High Court of Justiciary, for Forgery, on 29th April, 1839, and Four Following Days The colonization of that extensive territory, situated about the Gulf of St Lawrence, in North America, was a favourite project both of Kings James VI. And Charles I. Into this scheme Sir William Alexander of Menstrie, afterwards Secretary of State for Scotland, entered actively, and was for his exertions rewarded by James by charter, dated 1 2th September, 1 621, whereby he grants to the said Sir William, All and Whole the territory adjacent to the Gulf of St Lawrence, described in said charter, thenceforward to be called Nova Scotia; and constitutes him, his heirs and assignees, hereditary Lords Lieutenant, with powers almost approaching to those of absolute sove reignty. Before this charter was ratified by the Scots Parliament, his Majesty died; when, in 1 625, the grant was renewed by his successor in form of a Charter of Novodamus, proceeding upon the above narrative, and conceding, over and above, additional powers to Sir William Alexander.

Download or read book Frames that Speak Cartouches on Early Modern Maps written by Chet Van Duzer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lavishly illustrated book is the first systematic exploration of cartographic cartouches, the decorated frames that surround the title, or other text or imagery, on historic maps. It addresses the history of their development, the sources cartographers used in creating them, and the political, economic, historical, and philosophical messages their symbols convey. Cartouches are the most visually appealing parts of maps, and also spaces where the cartographer uses decoration to express his or her interests—so they are key to interpreting maps. The book discusses thirty-three cartouches in detail, which range from 1569 to 1821, and were chosen for the richness of their imagery. The book will open your eyes to a new way of looking at maps.

Download or read book Fraudsters and Charlatans written by Linda Stratmann and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1817 a young woman of exotic appearance was found wandering near Bristol. She spoke in a language that no one could understand except, seemingly, a Portuguese sailor. He claimed that she was a Sumatran princess from the island of Javasu. Princess Caraboo, as she was known, became a national celebrity and lived in a grand style, entertaining many distinguished visitors. A few weeks later, however, she was exposed as Mary Baker, the daughter of a cobbler from Devonshire. Mary's deception is one of several intriguing stories of nineteenth-century fraudsters brought to light in Linda Stratmann's entertaining look at some of history's greatest rogues. From bankers who forged share certificates, ruining hundreds of small investors, to 'Louis de Rougemont' whose tales of high adventure branded him The Greatest Liar on Earth', these riveting tales of true crime expose the seedy side of life in which corruption, avarice and scandal hold sway.
