A Religious Tract, recommending a Christian's Duty, by Phillimore 62017 [Author: Rev. Joseph Phillimore] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/0/1/62017 ] [Files: 62017-0.txt; 62017-h.htm] For those wishing to know: printed in 1814, the Rev. Phillimore had by this stage become vicar of a small parish in Warwickshire, England, known as Orton on the Hill and Twycross. He wrote this fairly brief pamphlet to explain to his parishioners what their religious duty was. He recommends prayers and each house having a Bible etc. Some of his parishioners were my ancestors at this time, and its was very strange when research Kensington, London, for them to produce this pamphlet for me. All the best, David, England, still overcast and growing dark

Acts of 30th & 43th Geo. III. relating to ... Hans Town 62016 [Title: Acts of 30th & 43th Geo. III. relating to a district in the Parish of Saint Luke, Chelsea, called Hans Town] [Author: Anonymous] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/0/1/62016 ] [Files: 62016-0.txt; 62016-h.htm] For those wishing to know: back in 1803 (when this Act was made) there wasn't the legal infrastructure that is now everywhere, so if you were developing an area (in this case Hans Town which is western London) you needed to pay for and get an act of Parliament to organise it. It's a tedious read, but it's also interesting to see how it permits the developer to set fines, put people in jail, organise the street cleaning etc. All the best, David, Overcast England
