Print on Demand. This book details the events leading up to and including the Great Disruption of 1843. It does so by bringing together testimonies from those who were at the centre of the conflict, either as leaders or participants. It provides a unique insight into the motivations, fears, and hopes of those involved. The author sets the scene by providing an informative overview of the religious and political landscape of Scotland in the early 19th century. He then examines the various factors which led to the conflict, including the deeply felt concern for the spiritual welfare of the people, and the growing sense within the church of its own divinely ordained authority. The volume includes a detailed chronological account of the key events of the Disruption itself, providing insights into the personalities and motivations of the main players. The concluding chapters discuss the aftermath of the Disruption, and its long-term consequences for the Church of Scotland, and for Scottish society more widely.

A remarkable eyewitness account of the Famine by an American woman. Mrs. Nicholson, a native of Vermont, spent nearly three years in Ireland, from the winter of 1847 (the worst of the Famine) to 1849, trying to do what she could to help the poor, from running her own soup kitchen in Dublin, to visiting the sick and dying in the huts and fields all around the island. Besides providing a powerful and vivid picture of life during the Famine, it is an acute examination of the circumstances that led to and sustained the catastrophe, condemning those in power who mismanaged, miscarried, and misjudged. This is one of the most valuable records we have of Ireland in the throes of the Great Famine .""Mrs. Nicholson is so unique and original that she seems to have stepped out of a novel. Yet hers is a true witness and real voice that penetrates the bloodless, statistical versions of Ireland's Famine agony and renders the immense human tragedy at its heart""-Peter Quinn.

Annals of My Glass House highlights the work of the most famous Victorian woman photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron. Although she did not begin her career until the age of 49, after rearing six children, she produced almost 3,000 photographs from 1864 until her death in 1879.Violet Hamilton's examination of Cameron's photography begins with her first successful recorded work in 1864 and ends in 1874 with her brief autobiography, "Annals of My Glass House", included here. The major thematic categories of her work are considered, including her portraits of prominent Victorians, poetic interpretations of Madonnas and children, and illustrations for Alfred, Lord Tennyson's Idylls of the King. Among Cameron's photographs are intimate studies of her own family and powerful portraits of Victorian artists, writers, and scientists, including historian Thomas Carlyle and astronomer Sir John Herschel.

The Annals of Tacitus, which chronicle the years AD 14-68, are arguably the greatest work of the greatest Roman historian. Book 3 of The Annals covers the years AD 20-22, a period including the trial of Calpurnius Piso for treason and the alleged murder of Germanicus. The editors are the first to compare a recently discovered record of this trial with Tacitus' narrative of the same events. Throughout the volume attention is paid to literary matters, and textual. linguistic and historical issues are treated fully.

Excerpt from The Annals of Albany, Vol. 10But years have passed since those troublous times; and it is believed that during the interval the progress of Albany, in every thing that elevates and adorns civilized life, has been commensurate with that of her neighbors. Literature, science, and the arts have many votaries in our midst; and recent travelers, as well as the assembled scientific magnates of the Union, have not failed to bear testimony to the elegant, refined, and generous hospitality, of the citizens of Albany.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

For many generations, the Nahuas of Mexico maintained their tradition of the xiuhpohualli. or "year counts," telling and performing their history around communal firesides so that the memory of it would not be lost. When the Spaniards came, young Nahuas took the Roman letters taught to them by the friars and used the new alphabet to record historical performances by elders. Between them, they wrote hundreds of pages, which circulated widely within their communities. Over the next century and a half, their descendants copied and recopied these texts, sometimes embellishing, sometimes extracting, and often expanding them chronologically.The annals, as they have usually been called, were written not only by Indians but also for Indians, without regard to European interests. As such they are rare and inordinately valuable texts. They have often been assumed to be both largely anonymous and at least partially inscrutable to modern ears. In this work, Nahuatl scholar Camilla Townsend reveals the authors of most of the texts, restores them to their proper contexts, and makes sense of long misunderstood documents. She follows a remarkable chain of Nahua historians, generation by generation, exploring who they were, what they wrote, and why they wrote it. Sometimes they conceived of their work as a political act, reinstating bonds between communities, or between past, present, and future generations. Sometimes they conceived of it largely as art and delighted in offering language that was beautiful or startling or humorous. Annals of Native America brings together, for the first time, samples of their many creations to offer a heretofore obscured history of the Nahuas and an alternate perspective on the Conquest and its aftermath.

There is a mine of information in this large, illustrated chronicle of London which presents almost a thousand years of history through year-by-year accounts. After a general overview of prehistoric and Saxon London, Richardson begins with 1065 and the causes of the Norman Conquest and ends with the erection of the Dome and the London Eye. In between are entries which illustrate the daily life, disasters and achievements of London as well as other events, such as the siege of 1141 and the plague in 1348, which reflect national crises. The entries record the gradual construction of the London that can be seen today, such as the building campaigns at the Tower of London and the destruction of many of its buildings. An enjoyable read on London's past.
