Christian Literature, by John Stoughton 64472 [Subtitle: a sermon] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/4/7/64472 ] [Files: 64472-0.txt; 64472-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Rev. Stoughton was a well-known minister in this 1870 sermon he encourages his congregation to read good books (secular and religious) and gives the Religious Tract Society a major plug. The pamphlet carries quite a bit of advertising from the Society and so it was possibly a joint-venture. Project Gutenberg have a complete RTS catalog from the 1840's, but by this stage they had branched out somewhat. All the best, David, Foggy England, snow expected

The Book of Light in the Hand of Love, by Charles J. Vaughan 64471 [Subtitle: A plea for the British and Foreign Bible Society] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/4/7/64471 ] [Files: 64471-0.txt; 64471-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Vaughan was a prominent churchman and in 1872 preached this sermon to encourage people to support the British and Foreign Bible Society. He doesn't really plug the Society (which most other such sermons do), but as in most of his pamphlets he takes an unusual approach. All the best, David Foggy England, snow expected

Biblical Revision, by Henry Alford 64470 [Subtitle: its duties and conditions] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/4/7/64470 ] [Files: 64470-0.txt; 64470-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Henry Alford was a famous Greek and biblical scholar, Dean of Canterbury etc. In 1870 he gave this talk about why he thought biblical revision (translating the Bible into England etc.) would forever be an on-going process, and gave thoughts on it. It's quite short. All the best, David Foggy England

Wages in 1873, by Thomas Brassey 64469 [Subtitle: Address read before the Social Science Association at Norwich] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/4/6/64469 ] [Files: 64469-0.txt; 64469-h.htm] For those wishing to know: turned out that this is Thomas Brassey, M.P., who was the son of the famous engineer Thomas Brassey. It's more economics than social science but it was frightening to know that in 1873 10 year old kids works as 12 hour days, six days a week (in Belgium etc.) for very poor wages. He mainly focuses on England and America, trades unions etc. All the best, David Foggy England
