A Guide to Cromer and its Neighbourhood, by A Visitor 58122 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/1/2/58122 ] [Files: 58122-0.txt; 58122-h.htm] For those wishing to know: a little guide to the Norfolk sea-side town of Cromer in 1841, when it was little known as a place to visit, and was well off the beaton track. The writer (some sources say it was Jane Alice Sargant) was very familiar with the town and area and tells you what to see, makes all sorts of useful suggestions, including walks. I particularly liked that Monday to Saturday a man was employed to keep common people and servants off the jetty, so the upper and middle classes could enjoy it. We had standards back then! All the best, David Dampest England

Imperialism in South Africa, by J. Ewing Ritchie 58121 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/1/2/58121 ] [Files: 58121-0.txt; 58121-h.htm] For those wishing to know: written in 1879 by general writer and editor of Christian World etc. this considers what happened when the British meddled with South Africa. Quite thought-provoking as most of Ritchie's stuff was, a sort of mingle of social concern, political activism, and traditional dissenting Christianity. All the best, David Rather damp England

Go to Cromer, by A Rural Rector 58120 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/1/2/58120 ] [Files: 58120-0.txt; 58120-h.htm] For those wishing to know: written in 1889 this rather late "guide" to the Norfolk, England, sea-side town of Cromer is really more the author's praise and liking of the town, than any sort of detailed guide. But it manages to mention Cromer Crabs which is what many people went to Cromer for. Cromer itself was and is still quite beautiful (in parts) and well worth a visit, even if it's former glory has faded a bit. All the best, David, Still damp England
