UNposted (#38200, Homer) !

16 Oct '18

I have just removed #38200 from the servers: Ilias by Homer Tr. Otto Manninen Language: Finnish It should be removed from GUTINDEX*, and might need a little help to be removed from the catalog. It turns out that the title/verso page indicated this was a REPRINT, but it was discovered that it was actually a substantially different translation. One translator (Manninen) is the same as the 1919 edition for which the clearance was granted, but subsequent reprintings involved additional translators. Because the post-1922 translations are new acts of "authorship," they warrant a new copyright. Therefore, we cannot use Rule 1 for this item, and no other rule is eligible for post-1923 items not first published in the US. Thanks to volunteers who pointed out and investigated this issue. - Greg Dr. Gregory B.

What will they say at Brompton?, by J. Stirling Coyne 58114 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/1/1/58114 ] [Files: 58114-0.txt; 58114-h.htm] For those wishing to know: a short comedy play for Victorians who were keen on acting. There's a few funny lines, mainly from the Todd character, but there's plenty of cases where a character's speech is simply a way to tell the audience what is going on. It's nothing to do with Brompton, Kensington, London, it's just Brompton was a very middle class neighbourhood so useful for the title line. All the best, David, Dampest England

Brompton Square Act, 1825, by Anonymous 58113 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/1/1/58113 ] [Files: 58113-0.txt; 58113-h.htm] For those wishing to know: back in 1825 if you wanted to have civil improvements in England you had to spend a lot of money on lawyers etc. to get an Act of Parliament drawn up to allow you to proceed. Getting the Act through Parliament cost an awful lot more. This is such an act, for a square in Brompton, near Kensington, London, in 1825. It seems people got paid by the word so it's also an exercise in spinning it out! And what the wanted to do (the full title but not used, including in Kensington Local Studies who let me use their copy) is: AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE PAVING, GRAVELLING, LIGHTING, AND WATCHING Certain Footways and Carriageways IN AND NEAR BROMPTON SQUARE IN THE PARISH OF SAINT MARY ABBOTTS KENSINGTON, IN THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE Maintenance of a Garden and Shrubbery IN THE SAID SQUARE. Interestingly, since Parliament would pass it, it provides for prison sentences! All the best, David, England, damp

Report of the Cromer Ladies' Bible Association, 1838 58112 [Author: Cromer Ladies' Bible Association] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/1/1/58112 ] [Files: 58112-0.txt; 58112-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Bible associations (formed to distribute the scriptures) were very popular in England during the 19th century. This report is useful for giving some detailed inner-workings of the society, but also giving lots of names etc. of the people involved, and so it comes possible to work out the key figures in Norfolk at this time. All the best, David, England without rain but still very damp
