First published in 1904, this volume emerged during a split within
the Liberal Unionist Party over Joseph Chamberlain's advocacy of
Protectionism through Tariff Reform. Having originally broken with
the Liberal Party over Home Rule in 1885, 1904 saw some Liberal
Unionists return to the Liberal fold. The authors here constitute
those departing Liberal Unionists in a multifaceted rallying call
for Free Trade in the face of Protectionism. Their articles, on
subjects such as Shipping, Agriculture and Engineering, assess the
implications of Free Trade with a focus on each author's specialist
industry. The authors unanimously declare in favour of the system
under which, they maintain, Great Britain developed unparalleled
prosperity and taught other nations her industrial success. In the
process, they demonstrate that trade cannot improve whilst fettered
and focus on the potential for real improvements through Free
Trade.
Four thousand feet above the Western Front, only love can keep hope
alive ... Lieutenant Willy Fraser, formerly of the Royal Flying
Corps, has been delegated the most dangerous job on the Western
Front - a balloon observer hanging under a gasbag filled with
explosive hydrogen, four thousand feet above the Ypres Salient,
anchored by a slender cable. Swept across enemy lines after his
balloon is damaged, Willy is hidden by Belgian farmers, whom he
grows close to during his stay. With their aid, he manages to
escape across the flooded delta at the English Channel and return
to his duties. But once he's back in the air, spotting for
artillery and under attack, Willy is forced to make an impossible
decision that threatens the life of the woman he has come to love.
Long and Benson's 1896 work provides instruction on the manufacture
of specific cheeses. The authors pay particular attention to
gourmet cheese varieties that were more usually produced in Europe,
including gorgonzola, camembert, and brie before turning their
attention to the best methods for manufacturing traditional English
cheeses such as Cheddar, Stilton, Cheshire, and Wensleydale.
