Hard Cover. Condizione: Near Fine. Near Fine. 4th Printing. 4th printing (Ford-Smith, Folio 76 #1140). Includes publisher's slipcase. Fine book in near fine slipcase. Slipcase faintly scuffed. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2003 Hard Cover. 288 pp. A collection of humorous vignettes by various authors, with contributions by William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, Charles Dickens, Winston S. Churchill, the Queen of England, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx, etc., etc. Ever since Chaucer's day, when the host of the Tabard Inn in Southwark rose to welcome the Canterbury Pilgrims with a joke, the After Dinner Speech, designed, if possible, to reduce the assembled company to helpless merriment, has presented the ultimate challenge. The best speakers are natural story-tellers - Gerard Hoffnung, reading a selection of letters from continental hoteliers: 'There is a French widow in every bedroom affording delightful prospects'; John Mortimer telling the woeful tale of a man's numerous unsuccessful attempts to murder his wife: 'At no time did Mrs Scott feel that the magic had gone out of their marriage' - and in this collection of post-prandial treasures you will find the very best of them, from Groucho Marx on how to resist a femme fatale, to Ralph Steadman surreally addressing the Lewis Carroll Centenary Dinner. 'Goodness', said a friend on greeting Mae West, 'where did you get those beautiful pearls?' 'Goodness', replied Mae, 'had nothing to do with it.' Shaggy dog stories, practical jokes, sporting anecdotes, rousing toasts, travellers' tales and risque reminiscences rub shoulders in this essential collection with real-life revelations and moments of history. Among the guests are Peter Ustinov, Jilly Cooper, Brian Johnstone, Charles Dickens, Dorothy Parker, Robertson Davies, Henry Grady and A.P. Herbert. There is food and drink in abundance. There is gentle reflection and endearing charm as well as defiant frivolity. Above all there are stories for every occasion - witty, absurd, momentous, philosophical, fascinating, poignant, and forever entertaining.…

SB.xvi, 421pp, portraits, plates (5 coloured, including 3 of uniform and 1 of colours), maps, plansPublished Price £28 The formation which became the Somerset Light Infantry is one of the oldest units in the British Army. It was raised in 1685 by the Earl of Huntingdon, who, as a Catholic, speedily lost his command in the 1688 Glorious Revolution, when the regiment deserted James II en masse for the Protestant cause of William of Orange. The following yhear it was present at the disastrous Battle of Kiliecrankie when Jacobite Highlanders routed a roce oif English troops and Protestant lowlanders. The regiment fought for William in Ireland as well as Scotland, taking part in the Battle of the Boyne and besieging Cork and Kinsale. In the War of the Spanish Succession, the regiment fought in Flanders and Spain, was besieged in Barcelona and garrisoned Gibraltar. In the War of the Austrian Succession it helped defeat the French at Dettingen in 1743, the last time an English monarch (George II) led his troops in battle. Defeated by Marshal Saxe's French forces at Fontenoy in 1745, the regiment returned to Scotland later that year to put down Prince Charles Edward Stuart's Jacobite revolt, fighting in the battles of Falkirk and Culloden. Stationed in the West Indies during the Seven Years War, the regiment took part in Sir John Moore's retreat to Colrunna, and helped expel the French from Egypt in 1801. It helped to capture the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique from France in 1809 and 1810, and fought in the 1812 War with the United States. Reformed as a Corps, the unit took part in the disastrous First Afghan War., fighting at Ghazni, Jalalabad and Kabul and later helped besiege Sebastopol in the Crimean War. The Indian Mutiny surprised the SLI at its base in Gibraltar from where itn was repaidly sent to India. In the last half of the 19th century, the regiment saw colonial service in far-flung parts of the Empire, from Mauritius to Cape Colony. It helped defeat the Zulus at Ulundi in 1879. The last in its long list of battle honours in this volume is the Boer War in which it fought in the bloody fiasco oif Spion Kop and helped relive Ladysmith. There are five pages of colour plates, 17 b& w pictures, seventeen appendices and 22 maps.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical, scriptural, and natural law aspects of marriage with a deceased wife's sister, a topic that has perplexed religious and legal thinkers for centuries. The author delves into the nuances of Mosaic laws and the teachings of the New Testament to challenge the commonly held belief that such marriages are lawful. By presenting opposing viewpoints and providing a thorough analysis, the author sheds light on the complex interplay between religious precepts and societal norms. This work is a valuable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of the biblical foundations of marriage and the legal and moral implications of incestuous unions. Its insights contribute to the ongoing discourse on the boundaries of marriage and the sanctity of familial relationships.
