The Coming Night, by Edward Hoare 52034 [Subtitle: A Sermon Preached in Cromer Church, on Friday, June 12, 1857, on occasion of the death of Anna Gurney] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/2/0/3/52034 ] [Files: 52034-0.txt; 52034-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Rev. Edward Hoare was a major figure in the evanglical wing of the Church of England in Victorian England. He was related to the Gurney family of Norfolk who were famous Quakers (Elizabeth Gurney became Elizabeth Fry a famous prison reformer and is on the back of English currancy). Although short, this funeral sermon is very perfect in it's way and typical of the man the woman whose death had occasioned it. All the best, David, Very hot England

William Mackay on T. W. Robertson's Play "School", by William Mackay 52033 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/2/0/3/52033 ] [Files: 52033-0.txt; 52033-h.htm] For those wishing to know: In his book "Bohemian Days" Mackay makes many claims and tells many stories, carefully omitting enough details to make them unproveable. I therefore followed up one of his claims, that he started a career in journalism by writing a review of T. W. Robertson's play "School". This is Mackay's review, his account of writing it, the letters from the Times which occasioned it, and a review published prior to Mackay's. The upshot is that this claim from Bohemian Days stands proved. All the best, David, Very hot England

A Dissertation on the Books of Origen against Celsus, Francis Cunningham 52032 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/2/0/3/52032 ] [Files: 52032-0.txt; 52032-h.htm] For those wishing to know: an undergraduate thesis which won the Hulsean Essay prize at Cambridge in 1811. By looking at Celsus' book which attacked early Christianity, Francis sought to show that it was early evidence for many of the beliefs of the Church of England. Francis Cunningham, later Vicar of Lowestoft, was a key leader of the British Bible Society and was responsible for introducing George Borrow to it. All the best, David, Very hot England

Unvarnished Tales, by William Mackay 52029 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/2/0/2/52029 ] [Files: 52029-0.txt; 52029-h.htm] For those wishing to know: a lot of short stories, most of which whilst vivid are undeveloped and each leaves you thinking they were perhaps sketches for a longer tale or novel. All the best, David, Very hot and humid England
