Fragments of Two Centuries: Glimpses of Country Life when George III. was King
In "Fragments of Two Centuries: Glimpses of Country Life when George III. was King," Alfred Kingston presents a tapestry of rural existence, interweaving anecdotes, observations, and societal reflections from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Kingston's literary style is characterized by a vivid, descriptive narrative that evokes nostalgia while offering a critical lens on the social structures of his time. The work is a significant contribution to the genre of social history literature, illuminating the interplay between everyday life and the political landscape under King George III, infused with both whimsy and gravitas as he documents village life, customs, and the changes wrought ...

"My friend shudders at my slaying a rhinoceros, but manages to eat part of an unfortunate sheep immediately afterwards. I wonder if the good lady's words ring true.

We went to Alaska to shoot, and-we shot." --From chapter 1 In the first decade of the twentieth century, Agnes Herbert (ca. 1880-1960) and her cousin Cecily hunted on three continents, and Herbert wrote a book about each excursion. This, her second, traces the story of the women's Alaskan hunt, undertaken in part with two men. The foursome formed two expeditions, sometimes setting up camp together and sometimes going their own ways. The women's trophies included brown bear, walrus, caribou, Dall sheep, and moose; and Cecily bagged herself a husband, as well.
A Caring County?
This comparative study gathers together new research by local historians into aspects of welfare in Hertfordshire spanning four centuries and focusing on towns and villages across the county, including Ashwell, Cheshunt, Hertford, Pirton, and Royston, amongst many others. In so doing it makes a valuable contribution to the current debate about the spatial and chronological variation in the character of welfare regimes within single counties, let alone more widely. As well as viewing poor relief geographically and chronologically, the book also considers the treatment of particular groups such as the aged, the mad, children, and the unemployed, and shows how, within the constraints of the rel...
