Observations on the State of Religion and Literature in Spain,by Bowring 61930 [Author: John Bowring] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/1/9/3/61930 ] [Files: 61930-9.txt; 61930-h.htm] For those wishing to know: John Bowring had been on business in Spain for some time and on coming back to England (early 1819) he published this, his first book. Bowring was a pologlot and would later become a radical politician and his observations forshadow the latter. A few months after this he was in Norwich as a dinner guest, when a young George Borrow met him for the first time, giving a (somewhat biased) account in Lavengro. This book was their topic of conversation. All the best, David Warm England with clear skies and stars

The Proportions of Christian Liberality, by William Bengo' Collyer 61923 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/1/9/2/61923 ] [Files: 61923-0.txt; 61923-h.htm] For those wishing to know: this was a sermon preached April 8, 1824, at Trevor Chapel, Brompton (London). At the time Brompton was little more than a few houses and fields, and so this is interesting not just for the sermon but for showing what was there then. The sermon points out that christians are meant to be generous. All the best, David Sunny England
