A History of Chester Cathedral, by John Hicklin 62240 [Subtitle: with biographical notices of the Bishops and Deans] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/2/4/62240 ] [Files: 62240-0.txt; 62240-h.htm] For those wishing to know: although the book claims to be written by "a member of the Chester Archæological Society", it's definately John Hicklin, local antiquarian, newspaper editor etc. It's a detailed history of the cathedral and the people associated with it, aimed perhaps more at the historian than the general reader. All the best, David, England with clear dark blue skies

The Fashionable World Displayed, by John Owen 62238 [Author AKA: Theophilus Christian] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/2/3/62238 ] [Files: 62238-0.txt; 62238-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Rev. Owen was vicar of Fulham, London, and a key figure in the British and Foreign Bible Society. He wrote this gentle-humoured "description" of the Fashionable World, it's inhabitants, laws, education etc. in 1804, around the same time as the Bible Society was being founded. At a time when the wealthy were abandoning the care of their "inferiors" and only living for pleasure, he politely points out that people have duties. All the best, David, Sunny England with blue skies
