Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dover Charters and Other Documents: In the Possession of the Corporation of Dover The various documents contained in this volume, with the exception of those included in the Appendices, have been transcribed from the originals in the possession of the Corporation of Dover. They cover the period embraced between the years 1227 and 1569. The large majority of them, as is natural, are of purely local interest, but there are some which will be found to possess historical importance, especially with reference to the Cinque Ports. The document numbered XXVI. Is, so far as I know, the earliest record of the ancient Court of Shepway, and affords full information as to its constitution, jurisdiction, and methods of procedure. The manuscript consists of a double folio, and is evidently the remains of the original Quaternus kept by the Clerk of the Court. It unfortunately throws no light upon the vexed question as to the locality in which the Court was held. The oath of allegiance to Henry VIII. Contained in XCIX. Is published in full, I believe, for the first time. The various deeds have been printed in chronological order, but have been arranged under suitable headings in the Contents columns; and, for the convenience of those who may at any time wish to consult the originals, the reference to the Corporation Archives is in every case given in square brackets at the end of each document. One Charter of the reign of Edward IV. Has been omitted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: The Records of Early English Drama (REED) series aims to establish the context for the great drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries by examining the historical manuscripts that provide external evidence of drama, secular music, and other communal entertainment and ceremony from the Middle Ages until Puritan legislation closed the London theatres in 1642. REED's sixteenth collection, Kent: Diocese of Canterbury contains the evidence of dramatic, musical, and ceremonial activity in the city of Canterbury and in the towns and parishes of the diocese of Canterbury, taken from the borough records, parish records, civil and ecclesiastical court records, and from personal papers such as wills, diaries, and letters. This collection includes over 4,000 payments to travelling players from the earliest recorded payment in 1272, when the monks of Christ Church, Canterbury, paid for entertainment on the feast day of St Thomas Becket, to the last recorded payment in 1641 in Puritan Canterbury for players not to play. It also features the Canterbury marching watch with pageants, including the pageant of St Thomas Becket; the New Romney passion play; numerous visits of nobility and royalty to Faversham, Canterbury, and Dover, being the main stops along Watling Street between London and the Continent; the activities of waits, drummers, and other civic musicians in the ancient towns and cities of Kent; and extensive evidence from court cases, borough ordinances, and chamberlains' payments of the suppression of dramatic activity during the Puritan years of the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. As with all the REED volumes, Kent Diocese of Canterbury is transcribed from the original sources, edited, and presented with explanatory notes, translations, and a general introduction. The resulting volume forms the largest collections thus far in the REED series.

Download or read book Colony written by Reg Hamilton and published by Wakefield Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until 1832 the small towns of England were ruled by a curious set of institutions. These included the local Church of England and its vestry, and the unelected and self-appointing local government. They also had vigorous campaigns for election to the House of Commons, and public voting, characterised by virulent free speech and the occasional riot. How would these institutions transfer to Britainís colonies? In 1856 the remote colony of South Australia had the secret ballot, votes for all adult men, and religious freedom, and in 1857 self-government by an elected parliament. The basic framework of a modern democracy was suddenly established. How did South Australia become so modern, so early? How were British institutions radically transformed by British colonists, and why did the Colonial Office allow it? Reg Hamilton answers these questions with an amusing history of the curious institutions of unreconstructed Dover before modern democracy, in the period 1780-1835, and of the spirited and occasionally shameful conduct of colonists far from home, but determined to make their fortune in the distant colony of South Australia.
