Englishman's Library
''The Englishman's Library'' was an English book series of the 1840s, a venture of the publisher James Burns. It ran eventually to 31 volumes. The title had been used already in 1824, for ''The Englishman's library'', edited by E. H. L., published by Charles Knight. The series was announced in ambitious fashion in the ''British Critic''. It was started by William Gresley and Edward Churton, with propagandistic aims; the works are still a source for the "condition of England" debate of the time. Gresley wrote six novels for the series. Aims According to its prospectus, the Library aimed to "unite a popular style with sound Christian principles". The announced authors did not in fact all contribute. Those behind the series were younger High Church men who wished to imitate some of the success of the ''Tracts for the Times''. They were less hostile to the Tractarians than older, more orthodox members of the Hackney Phalanx. List of volumes The Juvenile Englishman's Library P ...

His work, written almost entirely in hexameters or elegiac couplets, falls into three main categories: poems for Honorius, poems for Stilicho, and mythological epic. Life Claudian was born in Alexandria. He arrived in Rome in 394 and made his mark as a court poet with a eulogy of his two young patrons, Probinus and Olybrius, consuls of 395. He wrote a number of panegyrics on the consulship of his patrons, praise poems for the deeds of Stilicho, and invectives directed at Stilicho's rivals in the Eastern court of Arcadius. Little is known about his personal life, but it seems he was a convinced pagan: Augustine of Hippo, Augustine refers to him as the 'adversary of the name of Christ' (''The City of God, Civitas Dei'', V, 26), and Orosius, Paul Orosius describes hi ...

Saltley
Saltley is an inner-city area of Birmingham, east of the city centre. The area is part of the Washwood Heath ward, and was previously part of the Nechells ward. It is part of the Ladywood constituency in the city. History Saltley was originally an unverified parish within the estate of the Adderley family and their descendants, who had built their original residence Saltley Hall on the site of what is now Adderley Park. As water became a key resource, the family moved their residence to Hams Hall for better access to the River Tame. When the English Civil War occurred, the Adderleys like most gentry chose to support the Royalist cause, and paid heavy fines afterwards for being on the losing side. In 1845 railway carriage makers Joseph Wright and Sons relocated from London to a factory built on meadowlands in Saltley; the company eventually became Metro-Cammell, who remained in Saltley until 1962. As Birmingham developed as an industrial location, Saltley became an overspill a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
