A Sermon: Thou shalt not commit Adultery, by Joseph Phillimore 61940 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/1/9/4/61940 ] [Files: 61940-0.txt; 61940-h.htm] For those wishing to know: This is an undated pamphlet, without title page or other identifying information, bound by Kensington archives many years ago into a set of works by the Rev. James Phillimore. If it was by him (and it's in his "style") then it would be from around 1780 to 1831. Quite why a minister of the Church of England would preach a sermon on adultery, let alone print it, I've no idea - the text merely tells people it's best avoided(!) Phillimore became vicar of Orton on the Hill, near where I live and would have laid down the law to some of my ancestors who lived there. Hopefully they didn't inspire this topic! All the best, David Very sunny England

A Child's Dream of the Zoo, by William Manning 61939 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/1/9/3/61939 ] [Files: 61939-0.txt; 61939-h.htm] For those wishing to know: since it's creation in 1841, Brompton Hospital (London), was supported by generous donations from the locals in what was becoming a affluent area. This short booklet from 1886 is an example of how money was raised: an "entertainment" was given, probably by various locals, and the money raised given to the hospital. Obviously William Manning's poem of a child's fever dream in the hospital went down well and he had a printed locally: no doubt proceeds also went to the hospital. All the best, David, England with sun and blue skies

The Burston School Strike, by Casey 61938 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/1/9/3/61938 ] [Files: 61938-0.txt; 61938-h.htm] For those wishing to know: in April 1914, in the small Norfolk village of Burston, the local vicar, the Rev. Charles Tucker Eland, disliking the Methodist meeting setup by the husband of the local school teacher, dismissed him and his wife (both popular teachers) from their posts. The villages greatly objected because they were excellent school teachers and were very active in helping the villagers stand up for their rights against the then-establishment (squire and rector as it was known). The children of the school went on strike, refusing to go to school unless their beloved teachers were reinstated. Instead their dismissed teachers taught them first on the village green, and later in people's houses, the villages supporting the teachers with food etc. The strike lasted 25 years and is the longest strike in English history. This pamphlet gives the details of the strike, written in the early days, and was written to raise fundds to support the teachers. All the best, David Sunny England with clear blue skies
