Incidents in a Gipsy's Life, by George Smith 52647 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/2/6/4/52647 ] [Files: 52647-0.txt; 52647-h.htm] For those wishing to know: it's a (probably ghost-written) autobiography of George Smith, a Gipsy horse-trader from Epping Forest, England, who hit on the idea of "exhibiting" his family and became known as the King of the Royal Epping Forest Gipsies. There's little in the book as George would not have wanted to give too much away. For those wanting to know more the excellent Sharon Floate gave a talk on this book years ago and got me hooked - Sharon has produced a version for the Gipsy Law Society which gives lots of background etc. and I'd recommend her work to anyone. All the best, David, England, now dark clouds but still warm

The Breadth, Freeness, and Yet Exclusiveness of the Gospel, Edward Hoare 52646 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/2/6/4/52646 ] [Files: 52646-0.txt; 52646-h.htm] For those wishing to know: a short pamphlet by Edward Hoare and rather rare. A few years before Hoare died his son realized that a good deal of his father's works had been published like this, and he sought to work with his father to produce something more lasting: unfortunately Hoare died before the project was completed, so we're left with various pamphlets and a posthumous book. All the best, David, England, clouds reflecting the sun and a warm breeze

Compulsory Vaccination, by Charles T. Pearce 52645 [Author: William MacOubrey] [Subtitle: Report of a Public Meeting, held in the Marylebone Vestry Hall, London, on Wednesday evening, October 19, 1870.] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/2/6/4/52645 ] [Files: 52645-0.txt; 52645-h.htm] For those wishing to know: The Marylebone anti-Vaccination League, setup a year before, was mainly a group of homoeopathists who thought vaccination was "a lie" and particularly objected to people being forced to be vaccinated. They organised this meeting to popularise their cause, and two local M.D.'s attended, rather puzzled why anyone should think as the League did. Their points are briefly made and the bulk of the pamphlet is given over to Charles T. Pearce, who was on the committee and a long-time opponent of vaccination - although the pamphlet doesn't say it he was almost certainly the author. Dr. William MacOubrey, a friend of Charles, also ridiculed vaccination - and I'm glad they produced the pamphlet as I now know exactly where Dr. MacOubrey was on evening the 19 October 1870! All the best, David, England, clouding over but still warm
