An account of the Death of Philip Jolin, by Francis Cunningham 41145 [Subtitle: who was executed for the murder of his father, in the Island of Jersey, October 3, 1829] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/4/1/1/4/41145 ] [Files: 41145-0.txt; 41145-h.htm] For those wishing to know: a true account of the tragic life, crime and death of Philip Jolin, who was the last person to be publically executed on the Island of Jersey. The Rev. Francis Cunningham, who wrote this long tract, looks at the "death bed repentence" of Jolin, and uses it to stress what he considers is true religion. All the best, David, Foggy England

The Fishguard Invasion by the French in 1797, by M. E. James 41144 [Author: Daniel Rowlands] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/4/1/1/4/41144 ] [Files: 41144-0.txt; 41144-h.htm] Many thanks to Les Bowler for transcribing this. For those wishing to know: it's an historically acute account of the invasion, followed by a semi-fictional "diary" giving what happened in novelised form. All the best, David, Foggy England, quite apt for Victorian literature I feel
