Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Fifth Revised Edition. Hardcover Genealogy for Beginners Hardcover laminated D/J Ancestry-tracing is fun; it brings history to life and it gives a greater sense of personal identity. Our ancestors become real people; they may have been ordinary, blue-blooded or famous, but whatever they were the search itself is rewarding. Tracing a family history and gradually constructing one's own unique pedigree is an absorbing hobby, a never-ending detective investigation. This book tells the beginner exactly how to set about it: how to collect information from living relatives, how to make full use of all existing clues and traditions, how and where to find written records and what information they can be expected to provide as well as the likely problems that may be encountered and possible ways to solve them. Many books have been written for the would-be genealogist but none has ever equalled the success or popularity of Arthur Willis's Genealogy for Beginners. Since it was first published in 1955, this readable little guide has introduced far more ancestry-tracers to the subject than any other. Now it has been completely revised and re-written by Karin Proudfoot, so that it is once more the most up-to-date book on the subject and the best buy for the beginner of today.…

Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. The Buildings of an Industrial Community: Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge. Previous owners name and addres to inside cover. Previous owners ex-libris name sticker to inside cover. The most striking and weird of all the centres of early industrialism in Britain is in the Severn Gorge, at Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge, where the sheer grandeur of the setting has provided powerful inspiration for generations of artists and travellers in search of the industrial picturesque. Though the outstanding signifcance of the great indsutrial monuments has long received international recognition, only recently has there been increaing interest in the stonishingly varied local architecture that forms such a vivd blackcloth for them. This book is meant to be an eye-opener. It shows the surprising elegance and beauty of anonymous and familiar buildings that have long been taken for granted. It points out the fine differences of detail, the intricacies of design and construction, that give yhe place its ruggedly individual stamp; silent witnesses to the energy and imagination of the men who were creating a new industrial environment here. The many evocative illustrations clarify the theme and offer a key to some of the more intriguing and significant architectural features. This important study embraces not only the larger, architect-designed houses and churches, but also the less obvious yet equally indicative mass of smaller houses, cottages, shops, terraces, schools, chapels and public buidlings constructed in the two centuries before 1914. Wider social and economic issues are related to the architectural theme so that the buildings are seen in the context of the life and vigour of the society that constructed them. The result is a compelling insight into one of the most important communities of Britain's first industrial revolution.

Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. Bygone Billingsgate. Printing mark to title page. Slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. Price clipped to D/J. The visual richness of the photographs is interpreted by informed descriptions: while the text surveys Billingsgate's long association with fish, from the Middle Ages, though successive centuries of gradual regulation of the trade by statute and of growth of the market's dominance. The 19th century saw great improvements, including the great Victorian market hall, now safely preserved but bereft of the distinctive atmosphere which the fish trade long contributed to the neighbourhood. The former sights, sounds and smells of the old market have gone, but thias book will delight all who knew the place and its trade as a powerful reminder of a vanished aspect of the City's life. It is also a significant and attractive contribution to the published history of London. Illustrated throughout.
