Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While my husband and Mr. Henley were engaged in writing plays in Bournemouth they made a number of titles, hoping to use them in the future. Dramatic composition was not what my husband preferred, but the torrent of Mr. Henley's enthusiasm swept him off his feet. However, after several plays had been finished, and his health seriously impaired by his endeavours to keep up with Mr. Henley, play writing was abandoned forever, and my husband returned to his legitimate vocation. Having added one of the titles, The Hanging Judge, to the list of projected plays, now thrown aside, and emboldened by my husband's offer to give me any help needed, I concluded to try and write it myself.As I wanted a trial scene in the Old Bailey, I chose the period of 1700 for my purpose; but being shamefully ignorant of my subject, and my husband confessing to little more knowledge than I possessed, a London bookseller was commissioned to send us everything he could procure bearing on Old Bailey trials. A great package came in response to our order, and very soon we were both absorbed, not so much in the trials as in following the brilliant career of a Mr. Garrow, who appeared as counsel in many of the cases. We sent for more books, and yet more, still intent on Mr. Garrow, whose subtle cross-examination of witnesses and masterly, if sometimes startling, methods of arriving at the truth seemed more thrilling to us than any novel.Occasionally other trials than those of the Old Bailey would be included in the package of books we received from London; among these my husband found and read with avidity:

Download or read book Kidnapped (annotated) written by Robert Stevenson and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kidnapped was rated number 24 in the 100 best novels of all time by the UK's Guardian Newspaper, which declared it to be a masterpiece, a thrilling adventure story and gripping history.. Stevenson's electrifying narrative is intertwined with historical events and coloured with Scottish dialect. For those unacquainted with Scottish history and dialect, the book is annotated with notes on history and language. It also contains a glossary of 170 Scottish words and expressions. Do you know what Alan means when he says to David, "Ye have a ... clappermaclaw kind of a look to ye, as if ye had stolen the coat from a potato-bogle." Though some of the Scottish words are easily understood by those whose first language is English, there are many that are not. A chield is not a child; Jock is not a person's name nor a term for a Scot; a kyte is neither a bird nor something to fly in the wind. These expressions and many more are explained. This powerful novel is deceptive in its simplicity. It can be read and loved for its breath-taking storytelling, action and characterisation, but it also carries a message for the 21st century. One of the two central characters is David Balfour, a protestant supporter of the English King George ll. The other is Alan Breck Stewart, a Jacobite, loyal to the Catholic pretender to the throne, Bonnie Prince Charlie. Their common humanity results in a friendship that transcends politics and religion.
