From a historical point of view Sunday schools have immense
significance. In the nineteenth century Sunday schools were part of
general educational provision and represented the Christian
philanthropic impulse to provide a basic education to the
population at large and at low cost. In this book a range of
experts assess different aspects of the history of the Sunday
school movement. Contributors include Clyde Binfield, Faith Bowers,
John Briggs, Grayson Ditchfield, Hugh McLeod, Stephen Orchard, Jack
Priestley, Geoffrey Robson, and Doreen Rosman.
This survey of crime in ENgland from the medieval period to the

standardizes the debates and issues for the student reader.
The works of William Shakespeare vividly represent for our
admiration and study a pageant of souls with longing in whose wake
we ceaselessly follow. Through some of his most memorable
characters, Shakespeare illuminates the nature and character-as
well as consequences-of our distinctively human passions and
ambition, in particular our desire for and pursuit of both honor
and love. The contributors to this collaborative volume (scholars
in English Literature, Political Philosophy, and the Humanities)
argue that Shakespeare has much to teach us about our longing for
honor and love in particular, and thus about who we are, what we
desire, and why. Through sustained reflection on the Shakespearean
portraits of honor and love, which are the focus of the chapters in
Souls With Longing, we become more keenly aware of our own humanity
and come to know ourselves more profoundly. As the abiding
popularity of his works aptly demonstrates, Shakespeare's
unforgettable portraits of souls with longing-his representations
of honor and love-continue to exert undeniable sway over our
political, moral, and romantic imaginations.

The Persian chronicler Ferishta (1560-1620) composed his great
work, published in this four-volume English translation in 1829, at
the court of Bijapur - where he spent most of his life - under the
patronage of King Ibrahim Adil Shah II. It covers Muslim India from
around 975 to 1612 and is notable for its balance, despite
Ferishta's close involvement with some of the events and people he
records. In the translator's preface, East India Company officer
John Briggs (1785-1875) highlights the danger of misconceptions
about the people of India and the importance of religious policy in
the success or failure of her various governments. Volume 1
includes introductory matter, a chapter on pre-Muslim India,
histories of the Ghaznavid kings of Lahore, and information on the
rulers of Delhi. Also included is Briggs' valuable comparative
chronology of events in Europe and India.

genealogical tables and notes, as well as a comparative chronology
of events in Europe and India. Volume 2 examines the descendants of
Timur (or Tamerlane) and the founding by Babur of the Mughal
dynasty in the early sixteenth century. It also contains coverage
of the kings of the Deccan to the dissolution of the Bahmani
sultanate after 1518.

the five Deccan sultanate states from 1518. This includes Briggs'
own valuable account of the history of the kings of Golkonda and a
chronology of the Portuguese wars in India. The coverage of the
Adil Shahi dynasty of Bijapur in the sixteenth century notably
draws on Ferishta's first-hand knowledge.

There are also histories of Sindh and Kashmir. A comparative
