David Morgan, the Welsh Jacobite, by William Llewellin 62163 [Subtitle: a contribution to the history of Jacobitism in Wales] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/1/6/62163 ] [Files: 62163-0.txt; 62163-h.htm] For those wishing to know: the Jacobite movement (the movement to get the Stuart dynasty back on the throne of England) was associated with Scotland, and speaking personally, isn't associated with the Welsh at all. This is a scholarly essays about a genuine Welsh Jacobite. You get his history, his family relations, and a good background discussion on why there were some Welsh Jacobites. All the best, David England with blue skies

The Worth of the Soul, by Religious Tract Society (Great Britain) 62162 [Subtitle: No. 179] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/1/6/62162 ] [Files: 62162-0.txt; 62162-h.htm] For those wishing to know: whilst it's not branded as such, this is a tract in a major series published by the Religious Tract Society. This is more of a sermon than a story, although it does end in a poem which no doubt helped it sell. All the best, David, England with blue skies and clouds in sunset

The Life and Death of Tom Careless, by Anonymous 62161 [Subtitle: to which is added, The History of Will Worthy & Nancy Wilmot] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/1/6/62161 ] [Files: 62161-0.txt; 62161-h.htm] For those wishing to know: this is a chap book, not from a religious series, which sold in the early part of the 19th century in England. It tells, in verse, two (fictional) tales where people take no religious thought and come to a terrible end. The story of Nancy Wilmont, who sinfully DANCED on her wedding night and so was struck dead, will be a lesson to many(!) All the best, David, England, growing cool and the skies light gray

A letter addressed to the Right Honourable Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P. 62158 [Author: Rev.

The Chester and Holyhead Railway and its Prospects, by William Morgan 62157 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/1/5/62157 ] [Files: 62157-0.txt; 62157-h.htm] For those wishing to know: the construction of the Chester to Holyhead railway had been a lot more difficult than anticipated and by the late 1840's the shareholders were starting to get worried as the complex job of bridging the Menai Straits hadn't been accomplished. Shares prices dropped and William Morgan, a shareholder, wrote this short pamphlet to encourage his fellow shareholders to stick with it as it was almost done. It's interesting what he cites as being the huge income sources when the line opens. All the best, David England, blue skies but misty clouds
