Graham Lount in his account of the North American Lount family
attributes its origin to the emigration of Gabriel Lount who was
"an unaccompanied lad of about 14 when he arrived in Pennsylvania
from England in 1773 aboard the sailing ship 'Snow Britannia'. With
a few minor exceptions, all persons bearing the Lount name in North
America are descendants of Gabriel." Based on this Gabriel Lount
would have been born about 1759. Over the years researchers in the
USA and the UK have sought to identify the English parents of
Gabriel Lount the Emigrant. Gabriel Lount is an uncommon name and
intriguingly three generations of persons named Gabriel Lount, a
grandfather, father and son, have been found in the parish records
of Slawston in Leicestershire. More recent research presented here
strongly suggests that Gabriel Lount of Slawston and Mary Cook of
Brixworth in Northamptonshire were the English parents of Gabriel
Lount the Emigrant who was born in Brixworth in 1754.

clear-cut decisions or for which there is no easy

another way to know how to makethe right choice. Fortunately, there
is another way through using our intuition. More than justa feeling
or a guess, true intuition is one of the most importantyet often
least developedof our human faculties. Often thought of as
something vague and undefinable, many peoplemistakenly assume that
intuition cannot be understood and developed. Intuition for

practices and attitudes necessary fordeveloping it, and how to tap

Polybius and Roman Imperialism explores in depth the complexity of
the Greek historian Polybius' views on the expansion of Roman
power. Although he considered imperialism intrinsically noble, and
both admired and supported Roman domination, Polybius also evinced
detachment from the ruling power. This detachment came in different
forms: personal, cultural, patriotic and cultural. In general, he
believed that the Romans cited morally acceptable pretexts for
declaring war, observed justice in other aspects of foreign policy,
and practised beneficence and moderation in their dealings with
subject nations. Even with less than half of the original text
surviving, the author reveals Polybius' personality and political
philosophy.

This monograph examines the manuscript variants of the Peshitta
(the standard Syriac translation) of Kings, with special attention
to the manuscript 9a1. Manuscript 9a1 is of critical importance for
the textual history of Kings, and Walter argues that there is
overwhelming evidence that the non-9a1 Mss attest to an extensive
revision. This monograph also discusses translation features of the
Peshitta of Kings with special attention paid to harmonization and
the leveling and dissimulation of vocabulary. Walter also treats
the vorlage for the translation and treats its relation to the LXX
and the Targumim.
