Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of Old Glasgow Immediately after the issue of my Reminiscences of Printers and Printing (1830 which was printed for private circulation, I was frequently asked and urged to give further remembrances of my native City. The subject was thus kept before me; and, as leisure permitted, memories of over half a century were jotted down, together with brief sketches of Clergymen and Laymen with whom I had been associated or had come in contact. The result is now embodied in the present volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Views and Notices of Glasgow in Former Times (Classic Reprint) by : Robert Stuart
Download or read book Views and Notices of Glasgow in Former Times (Classic Reprint) written by Robert Stuart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Views and Notices of Glasgow in Former Times Beyond the gateway in the view, may be observed the upper part of what is said to have been the Custom-house, or place where the town's dues were collected, to which we shall, in another part of the volume, have occasion to refer. Farther to the left are seen the trees whose waving foliage overshadowed the once favourite promenade of the earliest public park possessed by the inhabitants. It stood between Stockwell and Jamaica streets; and till within the last sixty or seventy years, was a very fashionable place of resort. In an opposite direction, the town is observed stretching to the eastward; the houses on the site of the present shambles and their noxious vicinity, intermingled with trees, and separated from the river by a low stone wall. Where the Molendinar joins the Clyde a little haven seems to have been formed for the reception of small boats; this, with the grass-covered banks adjoining, and the few little shallops floating in the stream, gives an air of quiet simplicity to the picture, that from a present glance at the spot it would indeed be difficult for the imagination to realize.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketch of the History of Glasgow Subsequent to the death of St. Mungo, the detail of whose life stands out in the bold relief of historical fact, the records of the see established by him are of the most scanty and misty kind possible. There is no doubt that the sanctity pertaining to the resting-place of the bones of so holy a man, kept the establishment together, and drew around it the village which became the nucleus of the future city. The small community is believed to have suffered from the incursion of the Danes, and possibly also from rievers, who did not come from beyond the seas. But, in reality, for the long period of 500 years, there is no authentic record regarding it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Glasgow: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time Some considerable time has now elapsed since the publication of any work claiming to be a record of the rise and progress of Glasgow; and that circumstance, in conjunction With the fact that Within the past few years much has transpired to throw not a little additional light upon important matters hitherto but imperfectly understood, has weighed With the Author in the preparation of this History of Glasgow.

Book Synopsis Old Glasgow Weavers by : Rob D. McEwan
Download or read book Old Glasgow Weavers written by Rob D. McEwan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Glasgow Weavers: Being Records of the Incorporation of Weavers; With Eight Illustrations The present Deacon has shown the great interest he takes in the affairs of the Incorporation, not only by the attention he has given to the ordinary work of his office, but by his researches among the old records of the craft. As the handwriting of these records is in the characters to be found in ancient Scottish documents, and now difficult to decipher, their contents were necessarily available to very few, and to these only after much labour. With the aid of an expert in such writings the Deacon had a number Of the Old documents transcribed, and on the results being shown to the Master Court it was resolved that it was in the interests of the Incorporation that the transcriptions should be printed in book form. The Deacon kindly consented to see the proposed volume through the press, classifying the transcriptions and writing explanatory and connecting notes, but without attempting to' produce a formal history of the Incorporation. In placing the result before the Incorporation, the Master Court trust that this glimpse of its past history will stimulate an interest in its present affairs, and that the members of today will emulate their predecessors in doing what they can to promote the continued prosperity of this Old Incorporation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Guinea Stamp: A Tale of Modern Glasgow The house was a plain and primitive cottage in the narrow street of a little Lincolnshire village - a village which was a relic of the old days before the drainage system was introduced, transforming the fens into a fertile garden, which seems to bloom and blossom summer and winter through. Its old houses reminded one of a Dutch picture, which the quaint bridges across the waterways served to enhance. There are many such in the fen country, dear to the artist's soul.

Book Synopsis Popular Traditions of Glasgow by : Andrew Wallace
Download or read book Popular Traditions of Glasgow written by Andrew Wallace and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Traditions of Glasgow: Historical, Legendary and Biographical In the following pages we have endeavoured to collate from almost every source available to us, a few of the more graphic and striking sketches of life and character from the History of Glasgow, at its different stages, partly with the view of stimulating our readers to a more systematic and consecutive study of that History, and partly with the view of exhibiting some of the essential principles and underlying forces of the city's progress and prosperity, so that our young readers especially may not become bewildered with the multitudinous and ever increasing details of our city's life and interests, but come into living contact with its heart and spirit, and thus become partakers of its inner life, and conduct their own lives in harmony with its best and noblest traditions. We make no pretence to Originality of research. The only merit we claim is that of careful selec tion and combination; and of having kept steadily in view, the elucidation of what we consider to be the leading and guid ing principles that have gone to make Glasgow what it now undoubtedly is, the Second City in the United Kingdom. Like the Popular History of Glasgow, published seven' years ago, the present work is chiefly intended for the rising generation of our citizens, and to those others who have not had the opportunity of perusing the larger and costlier works that have been written; and to these classes we trust the book will afford some pleasure and instruction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Glasgow: A History of the City of Glasgow From the Earliest Times to the Year 1611 The history so designed was accordingly commenced shortly after the publication of the volume referred to, and was brought down as far as the year 1600, but when that period was reached the manuscript was laid aside to make way for preparation of the book on The River Géyda and tire Clyde Burg/25, upon which Sir James bestowed most of his attention in the closing years of his life. It is to be regretted that greater progress was not made in the work, but still it is fortunate that the portion accomplished covers a period of the city's history with which the author was so specially qualified to deal.

Download or read book Raising the Dead written by Andy Dougan and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, Frankenstein, introduced readers around the world to the concept of raising the dead through scientific procedures. Those who read the book were thrilled by this incredible Gothic adventure. Few, however, realised that Shelley's story had a basis in fact. What she imagined as her modern Prometheus was a serious pursuit for some of the greatest minds of the early 19th century. It was a time when scientists genuinely believed, as Frankenstein did, that they could know what it feels like to be God. Raising the Dead is the story of the science of galvanism - named after the Italian scientist Luigi Galvini who had conducted the original experiments - a movement that investigated the theory of 'animal electricity', a unifying vital spirit that animates us all, its leaders believing that they stood on the brink of immortality. While they ultimately failed in this challenge, their studies mapped out the nervous system and made valuable and enduring contributions to modern-day medical knowledge and understanding - from theorising the concept of the modern-day defibrillator, and 'deep brain stimulus' which is used to treat personality disorders, to experimental procedures involving the use of microchip-controlled devices to bridge damaged spinal nerves.

Download or read book Vein of Iron written by Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ellen Glasgow considered Vein of Iron, published in 1935, to be her best work. "No novel has ever meant quite so much to me," she wrote a friend. The critics agreed; the book was favorably reviewed on the front page of the New York Times Book Review and outsold all but one other work of fiction in the year of its publication." "Opening in the years just before the First World War and laid in the Valley of Virginia, the book traces the experience of a family with four generations of strong women. Faced with a crisis when the bread-winner, a philosopher-minister, is defrocked for his unorthodox views, the women provide the "vein of iron" which carries the family through removal to Richmond (Queensboro in the book), through war and depression until the final return to the mountains."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
