Sinossi
Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 6: Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, Artists, Antiquaries, Genealogists, Etc;; July December, 1858
The chiefest pastimes, next the old trade of Basket making, are the four following: Bowling at Rusthall Green, where fools lose their money, and knaves win it Dancing upon Southborcugh Green; Walking in the Grove where the Ring-doves coo above, whilst the lovers bill below and project all things in order to make them selves happy at the next merry meeting; and Gaming at the Groom-porters, where every one strives to win, whilst the box runs away with the money. Lodgings are so dear and scarce, that a beau is sometimes glad of a barn, and a lady of honour content to lie in a garret: the horses being commonly put to grass for the servants to lie in the stable. My landlord was a farmer, and his very out houses were so full that, having sheared some sheep, he abated me half-a-crown a week to let the wool lie in my bedchamber. The most noble of their provisions is a pack-saddle of mutton and a wheat-ear pie. Which is ac counted here a feast for a Heliogabalus, and is indeed so costly a banquet, that a man may go over to Amsterdam, treat half a dozen friends with a fish dinner, and bring them back again into their own country almost as cheap as you can give yourself and your mistress a true Tun bridge wells entertainment. The liquors chiefly produced by this part of the country are beer made of wood-dried malt, and wins drawn out of a birch tree: the tint is ia fected with such a smoaky tang, that you would think it was brewed in a chimney; and every pint you drink, ia stead of quenching your draught, begets a thirst after a gallon: the latter as 'tis ordered drinks almost like mood, and makes a man's mouth smell of honey.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the dramatic history of Mytilene, a city that was sentenced to annihilation by the Athenians but managed to negotiate a reprieve in one of the most raucous and riveting debates of the ancient world. The author examines the brutal realities of conflict, the moral dilemmas of war, and questions of vengeance, justice, and forgiveness. The book delves deep into the motivations of the Athenians, their fears, and their prejudices, providing a nuanced portrayal of how these factors played out in the context of the Mytilenean crisis. Through a profound analysis of the debate, the author uncovers the often-hidden dynamics of power and influence in ancient Athens, shedding new light on the nature of democracy in the classical world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
