Dryfe Sands
"At the end of the 16th century the land on both sides of the Scottish-English border is a violent and dangerous frontier, inhabited by rustlers, marauders, and feuding clans. The bitterest rivalry of all is between the Johnstones and the Maxwells. In this troubled region, the climax of the deadly blood feud confronts eleven year-old Robert Johnstone of Raecleuch, son of a Johnstone father and a Maxwell mother. Circumstances force him to face his own identity and fight in a desperate battle for the Johnstones' very survival. After Lord Maxwell treacherously murders the Laird of Johnstone, Robert must safeguard the continuation of the laird's family line, and he struggles with the meaning of loyalty and duty during a time of profound social change."--Back cover.

Perceptions of the Press in Nineteenth-Century British Periodicals
This annotated bibliography of nineteenth-century British periodicals, complete with a detailed subject index, reveals how Victorian commentaries on journalism shaped the discourse on the origins and contemporary character of the domestic, imperial and foreign press. Drawn from a wide range of publications representing diverse political, economic, religious, social and literary views, this book contains over 4,500 entries, and features extracts from over forty nineteenth-century periodicals. The articles cataloged offer a thorough and influential analysis of their journalistic milieu, presenting statistics on sales and descriptions of advertising, passing judgment on space allocations, pinpointing different readerships, and identifying individuals who engaged with the press either exclusively or occasionally. Most importantly, the bibliography demonstrates that columnists routinely articulated ideas about the purpose of the press, yet rarely recognized the illogic of prioritizing public good and private profit simultaneously, thus highlighting implicitly a universal characteristic of journalism: its fractious, ambiguous, conflicting behavior.
