The second of four volumes containing the edited texts,
commentaries and source notes for each of the nearly nine hundred
occasions of special worship and for each of the annual
commemorations in England and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Since
the sixteenth century, the governments and established churches of
the British Isles have summoned the nation to special acts of
public worship during periods of anxiety and crisis, at times of
celebration, or for annual commemoration and remembrance. These
special prayers, special days of worship and anniversary
commemorations were national events, reaching into every parish in
England and Wales, in Scotland, and in Ireland. They had
considerable religious, ecclesiastical, political, ideological,
moral and social significance, and they produced important texts:
proclamations, council orders, addresses and - in England and
Wales, and in Ireland - prayers or complete liturgieswhich for
specified periods supplemented or replaced the services in the Book
of Common Prayer. Many of these acts of special worship and most of
the texts have escaped historical notice. National Prayers. Special
Worship since the Reformation, in four volumes, provides the edited
texts, commentaries and source notes for each of the nearly nine
hundred occasions of special worship, and for each of the annual
commemorations. The second volume,General Fasts, Thanksgivings and
Special Prayers in the British Isles 1689-1870, contains the texts
and commentaries for the numerous and frequent special prayers,
fast days and thanksgivings during the wars which consolidated the
1688 revolution, through the long imperial wars of the eighteenth
century, and the wars against revolutionary and Napoleonic France,
as well as prayers and thanksgivings associated with Jacobite
risings, epidemics, socialunrest, and episodes in the lives of the
kings and queens.

’Livingstone’s Tribe is excellent… Taylor is an intelligent and stimulating companion’ Financial Times’At the book’s heart is a riveting examination of Livingstone’s tribe… the whites of post-independence Africa’ Independent on Sunday’Taylor’s expedition into the interior of the continent’s colonial past has got everything that such a book should have’ Guardian’Stephen Taylor, a third-generation émigré of British descent, finds a melancholy collection of white misfits and failures… as well as a heroic, dwindling clutch of missionaries still holding the line. The catalogue of theft, corruption, murder and superstition that Taylor chronicles makes appalling, fascinating reading. Yet Taylor is no Colonel Blimp, rather an anti-apartheid liberal who fled the old South Africa and welcomed independence for Mugabe’s Zimbabwe’ Daily Mail’Sights and travel experiences are vividly described and people both from Livingstone’s and from the other tribes are handled particularly well’ Sunday Times

In 2003, the Sion-born architect Alain Wolff founded his
architectural office in Lausanne. Since then, a number of
remarkable buildings have been produced - mainly in rural areas.
For instance the Ecole de la Verrerie is carefully integrated into
the surroundings and impresses with its materialisation in wood and
concrete. The arrangement of the classrooms and sports hall
resembles a well-balanced organism. Text in English, German and

A brilliant telling of the history of the common seaman in the age
of sail, and his role in Britain's trade, exploration, and warfare
"No other book resurrects the wooden world of Jack Tar in such
captivating and voluminous detail."-Roger Ekirch, Wall Street
Journal "[A] rollicking narrative . . . Superb"-Ben Wilson, Times
British maritime history in the age of sail is full of the deeds of
officers like Nelson but has given little voice to plain,
"illiterate" seamen. Now Stephen Taylor draws on published and
unpublished memoirs, letters, and naval records, including
court-martials and petitions, to present these men in their own
words. In this exhilarating account, ordinary seamen are far from
the hapless sufferers of the press gangs. Proud and spirited,
learned in their own fashion, with robust opinions and the courage
to challenge overweening authority, they stand out from their less
adventurous compatriots. Taylor demonstrates how the sailor was the
engine of British prosperity and expansion up to the Industrial
Revolution. From exploring the South Seas with Cook to establishing
the East India Company as a global corporation, from the sea
battles that made Britain a superpower to the crisis of the 1797
mutinies, these "sons of the waves" held the nation's destiny in
their calloused hands.
*The Sun, The Glass, and The Leaning Rock (Volume 1 in the
Florea/Holland Mystery Series, & also published as 'A Second
Chance')... 'The Sun, The Glass, and The Leaning Rock' (Aslo
available in larger print as, 'A Second Chance') is a daring tale
of high adventure, of friendships, of romance, of loyalties and
betrayals, and of great personal danger in the lives of ordinary
people. This tale combines a tricolor of excitement, yielding the
grand adventure of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', the enchantment and
humor of 'Romancing the Stone', and the suspenseful who-done-it of
Sherlock Holmes--hang on tight The story opens in the year 1984,
but centers on the 1924 discovery of the 'Lost Dutchman's Mine' in
Arizona, the inevitable misfortune of it's discoverer, and the
strange fate of the loot itself. A treasure map, an unusual
necklace, and a simple nursery rhyme set the stage for double
murder, betrayal, kidnapping, and unrelenting drama in this tale of
the high desert. An unemployed ex-cop and his two friends become
entwined in this adventure-mystery, which takes the reader from
Boston to Arizona, from Ohio to California, and finally into the
harsh, Nevada desert, where the good guys meet the bad guys in a
final, head-on confrontation. Both want to unlock the treasure's
secret--'the sun, the glass, and the leaning rock, tell you when
it's four o' clock.' If you're ready to jump out of an airplane on
a foggy night, hopefully land unscathed in rugged terrain, repel
from a high cliff on a short rope, take an eerie night stroll
across miles of barren desert, find your way through an unyielding
sandstorm, escape a deadly confrontation with rattlesnakes, pass
through the turbulent waters of a flash flood, leap from a
high-rolling flatcar on a train ride to terror, and in the meantime
solve all the 'who-done-it' before the astonishing climax--then you
are more than welcome to the millions in gold that lay hidden
within a dark, abandoned void, somewhere near Ely, Nevada.

Edward Pellew, captain of the legendary Indefatigable, was quite
simply the greatest frigate captain in the age of sail. An
incomparable seaman, ferociously combative yet chivalrous, a master
of the quarterdeck and an athlete of the tops, he was as quick to
welcome a gallant foe into his cabin as to dive to the rescue of a
man overboard. He is the likely model for the heroic but
all-too-human Jack Aubrey in Patrick O'Brian's novels. Pellew was
orphaned at eight, but fought his way from the very bottom of the
Navy to fleet command and a viscountcy. Victories and eye-catching
feats won him a public following. Yet as an outsider with a gift
for antagonizing his better-born peers, he made powerful enemies.
Redemption came with his last command, when he set off to do battle
with the Barbary States and free thousands of European slaves.
Contemporary opinion held this to be an impossible mission, and
Pellew himself, in leading from the front in the style of his
direct contemporary Nelson, did not expect to survive. Pellew's
humanity as much as his gallantry, fondness for subordinates and
blind love for his family, and the warmth and intimacy of his
letters, make him a hugely engaging and sympathetic figure. In
Stephen Taylor's magnificent new life he at last has the biography
he deserves.
Poet and musician, artist and hostess, Lady Anne Barnard lived at
the heart of Georgian society. High-born yet egalitarian, she
travelled to France to observe the Revolution, rejected numerous
suitors, and lived independently. Her curious ways attracted gossip
right into her final years when she raised an illegitimate child at
her home in Berkeley Square. Written with full access to her
previously unseen private papers and unpublished memoirs, Defiance
shows Lady Anne to be one of the unheralded chroniclers and
pioneering women of her time.
