Manx Patriot
The story of Canon John Quine, born 1857 in the Isle of Man, reveals his upbringing, education, and rising prestige, which didn't come easily by any means. John, a son of a Manx miller, was educated at King William's College, Isle of Man, and then Merton, Oxford... He grew into a talented young man. But, was a career in the ecclesiastical sphere his first love or even his choice? Through John's intelligence, understanding of the Manx people, and thirst for the Island's history, he became a warrior of many intellectual battles, particularly within ecclesiastical circles. Repression became his ally... And, why did his granddaughter-in-law later place a 10-year embargo on his private letters when she sent them to the Manx Museum? The mysteries of John's life are revealed... John's most notable literary work was The Captain of the Parish, published in 1897. Julie Quine is also the author of 'Manx Brothers in Arms', detailing John Quine's thoughts throughout WWI...See Facebook Pages: Manx Patriot; John Quine Forum; & Manx Brothers in Arms. Proceeds from the sale of this book will fund a tasteful memorial to mark the resting place of two of John's children in St Adamnan's burial ground.

Records of Convocation: Sodor and Man 1878-2003
The convocation records of the Churches of England and Ireland are the principal source of our information about the administration of those churches from middle ages until modern times. They contain the minutes of clergy synods, the legislation passed by them, tax assessments imposed by the king on the clergy, and accounts of the great debates about religious reformation; they also include records of heresy trials in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, many of them connected with the spread of Lollardy. However, they have never before been edited or published in full, and their publication as a complete set of documents provides a valuable resource for scholarship. This volume contains the convocation records of the modern diocese, detailing day-to-day administration over the last century and a quarter, none of which has been published before. The verbatim accounts of proceedings in convocation give a clear insight into Manx social history during the period. There are also appendixes listing diocesan officials and giving an abstract of the tithe accounts from the commutation of tithes in 1839 to their complete abolition in 1946.
