A Letter to the Bishop of Exeter, by Edward Hall Alderson 58105 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/1/0/58105 ] [Files: 58105-0.txt; 58105-h.htm] For those wishing to know: the Bishop of Exeter was determined to get rid of the Rev. Gorham who had objections to "baptising" infants, based on the doctrines of the Church of England. However, things went against the Bishop, and so he consulted a leading lawyer, Sir Edward Hall Alderson, who advised him and wrote this (supposedly) private letter giving options (all this around 1850). Gorham was eventually vindicated but the Bishop persecuted him to his dying day. All the best, David, Dampest England

Observations on Coroners, by William Hewitt 58104 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/1/0/58104 ] [Files: 58104-0.txt; 58104-h.htm] For those wishing to know: William Hewitt (c1805-9 October 1876) was a surgeon in Norfolk who was horified that non-medical people were allowed to be coroners. Here he puts forward cases where a non-medical cononer made an error of judgement which a medical man would not have made. Mis-carriages of justice resulted. All the best, David, Damp England with no rain

Reminiscences of Tottenham, by Harriet Couchman 58097 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/0/9/58097 ] [Files: 58097-0.txt; 58097-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Harriet (c1830-1909) was born and brought up in Tottenham, then a village a few miles north of London. This is a random collection of what was once there, how it changed etc. It's a great pity that many folk who had a lot to tell, like Harriet, didn't write similar books on their areas. All the best, David, England, the rain's stopped, as has the wind
