National Huguenot Society Bible Records
The first permanent Huguenot settlement in New Jersey was made at Hackensack in 1677, with a second at Princeton a few years later. Following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV in 1685, Huguenots settled widely throughout the colony. This work, prepared by the former treasurer of the Huguenot Society of New Jersey, contains thumbnail genealogical and biographical sketches of hundreds of early Huguenot families in the Garden State.
The Gloucestershire Court of Sewers, 1583-1642
"The extant 1583-1642 records of the Gloucestershire Court of Sewers are a nationally important survival from a small body of documentation that has rarely been fully appreciated by past scholarship. 'Sewers' in this instance are watercourses that drain low-lying coastal marshes, and these Gloucestershire records are to be prized and cherished as much as the rich agricultural land the commissioners of sewers served to protect."--xxvii.

International tragedies, national disgraces, and local dangers: reporting can magnify trauma.

Peasants have been despised, underrated, or disregarded in the past. Historians and archaeologists are now giving them a more positive assessment, and in Peasants Making History, Christopher Dyer sets a new agenda for this kind of study. Using as his example the peasants of the west midlands of England, Dyer examines peasant society in relation to their social superiors (their lords), their neighbours, and their households, and finds them making decisions and taking options to improve their lives.
