This book is a reprint, originally published in 1900, of early marriages in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, between the years of 1692 and 1789. Frederic W. Bailey, a prolific publisher of vital records, compiled several books between the years 1896 and 1914. In 1897 he began a series on early Massachusetts marriages, which is believed to be the most complete collection of early Massachusetts marriages ever published. This book, the Second Book, covers Plymouth County between the years 1692 and 1789. Included are the full names of the bride and groom, the date and town of marriage. There are approximately 5,500 marriages, or 11,000 individuals listed in this Second Book. Towns included: Plymouth, Plympton, Kingston, Marshfield, Wareham, Duxbury, Pembroke, Middleborough, Halifax, Bridgewater, Abington, Hanover, Scituate, and Rochester.

A few years ago Mrs. Kilgore discovered, hidden away in the Dickson County Courthouse in Charlotte, Tennessee, a large quantity of early marriage licenses, bonds and certificates. She set about transcribing and arranging this material, from the earliest record in 1817 through 1856. Her work was unusual in that she relied almost entirely on these original records, using the marriage books themselves (which started in 1838) as a check against these loose papers. Since there were numerous omissions and errors in these books, including the complete absence of several years of marriage books in the 1840s, her labor has yielded for the interested public a large quantity of information not previously available. This book sets forth, alphabetically first by groom and then by bride, the 1636 marriages Mrs. Kilgore has offered us. Not all the data she obtained is included; only the names of the principals plus date of license and, in parentheses, date of execution. Her worksheets, showing names of bondsmen, ministers and justices of the peace, are on file at the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville. Alphabetical lists of those who officiated at marriages are included in the back of the book. The auathor used a combination of the earliest marriage books and loose bonds & licenses. Approximately 1,600 marriages arranged alphabetically by grooms and brides.

Neurology abounds with eponyms--Babinski's sign, Guillian-Barre' sundrome, Alzheimer's disease, etc. Neurologists and neuroscientists, however, are often hazy about the origin of these terms. This book brings together 55 of the most common eponyms related to the neurological examination, neuroanatomy, and neurological diseases. The chapters have a uniform structure: a short biography, a discussion of and a quotation from the original publication, and a discussion of the subsequent evolution and significance of the eponym. Photographs of all but one of the eponymists have been included. The material is organized into sections on anatomy and pathology, symptoms and signs, reflexes and tests, clinical syndromes, and diseases and defects. The selection of eponyms was based on the frequency of use, familiarity of clinical neurologists with the concept, and the significance within neurology of the individual who coined the eponym. This volume covers some of the classic ideas in the history of clinical neurology. It will be of interest to neurologists, neuroscientists, medical historians, and their students and trainees.

Many aspects of medieval monarchy can only be recovered through archaeology. This archaeological survey of kingship in the period from the reign of William the Conqueror to that of Henry VIII brings together the physical evidence for the Kings and their courts in the form of a great variety of objects and buildings. John Steane looks at the changing perceptions of the cult of medieval kingship through symbols of power and regalia including crowns, seals and thrones, such as the Coronation Chair of Edward I. The result is a synthesis of current knowledge of the physical remains of medieval kingship that has not previously been attempted. Restoring many details of the lives and deaths of the great and powerful monarchs of the Middle Ages, this book reveals past public splendors as well as more private insights.
