The carriage of goods by sea starts off with a contract of
carriage, an essentially simple and straightforward contract
between two parties, the shipper and the carrier. Very often,
however, a bill of lading is issued and a third party appears on
the scene: the holder of the bill of lading. The holder was not
involved in the making of the contract of carriage, but does have
rights, and possibly obligations, against the carrier at
destination. The question then is how the third-party holder of the
bill acquires those rights and obligations. Analysing the different
theories that have been proposed to explain the position of the
third party holder, this book makes a distinction between
contractual theories and non-contractual theories to explain the
holder's position. Contractual theories build on the initial
contract of carriage and apply contract law mechanisms while
non-contractual theories construe the position of the third-party
holder independently. Following the analysis and appraisal of the
different theories, this book makes the case that the position of
the third-party holder of the bill of lading is not obvious or
self-evident; and submits that a statutory approach to the position
of the holder of the bill of lading has advantages and would be
preferable.
Fresh approaches to how premodern women were viewed in legal terms,
demonstrating how this varied from country to country and across
the centuries. There has been a tendency in scholarship on
premodern women and the law to see married women as hidden from
view, obscured by their husbands in legal records. This volume
provides a corrective view, arguing that the extent to which the
legal principle of coverture applied has been over-emphasized. In
particular, it points up differences between the English common law
position, which gave husbands guardianship over their wives and
their wives' property, and the position elsewhere in northwest
Europe, where wives' property became part of a community of
property. Detailed studies of legal material from medieval and
early modern England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Ghent,
Sweden,Norway and Germany enable a better sense of how, when, and
where the legal principle of coverture was applied and what effect
this had on the lives of married women. Key threads running through
the book are married women'srights regarding the possession of
moveable and immovable property, marital property at the
dissolution of marriage, married women's capacity to act as agents
of their husbands and households in transacting business, and
married women's interactions with the courts. Cordelia Beattie is

In the later Middle Ages a European 'core' of culturally and
administratively sophisticated societies with rapidly growing
populations, on an axis from England to Italy, colonised the
European 'periphery'. In northern Europe this periphery included
Wales and Ireland, as colonised by the English, and Prussia and
Livonia, as colonised (mainly) by Germanic and Nordic peoples. A
key tool of colonisation was the chartered town, giving citizens
distinguishing legal privileges and a degree of self-regulation.
Towns on the Edge in Medieval Europe contends that while the
chartered town, as a legal and social-political concept, was
transferred to peripheral areas by colonisers, its implementation
and adaptation in peripheral areas resulted in unique societies,
not simply the replication of core urban forms and communities. In
so doing, it compares the development of social and political
institutions in the chartered towns of medieval Ireland, Wales,
Prussia, and Livonia. Research themes include community formation,
normalisation/social disciplining, and peace making/keeping.

She was acknowledged as the most beautiful woman in the world but
she wanted more than accolades from artists and photographers. She
soon became the mistress of Edward Albert, prince of Wales and
future king of England, then turned her talents to acting, her
ultimate triumph. At first people came to see her out of curiosity,
but she quickly won them over with her beauty, charm and
personality if not her acting talent. During her more than 30 years
of performing in the United States, Lillie Langtry came into
contact with numerous men and women who are now legends. Author
Donna Lee Harper scribes Lillie's meetings with these fascinating
people in a most unique way in one of the year's most entertaining
books. * * * * I loved the stories What a fascinating woman, so
ahead of her time. It gives all women the motivation to accomplish
whatever they wish in life. I highly recommend it. Give it to your
daughters as well -Morgan Brittany, Actress * * * * Who says there
aren't strong roles for women? In my forty years of making films
with some of the greatest stars in the business I have never come
across such an abundance of outstanding stories about women., "The
Diary of Lillie Langtry" is great reading and will make an even
greater series of films or television episodes.-William Frye,
Motion Picture & Television Producer * * * * What a unique
approach to story-telling. /A wonderfully colorful presentation of
an engrossing portion of the life of a very colorful lady. A great
book -Phyllis Zuaner, Author of Western Historical Books

when He returned; and wear socks with His sandals. Interactive

century canons. Become a disciple and start spreading the new Good
Word with What Would Jesus Not Do?
