Stratford, London
Stratford is a town in east London, England, within the ceremonial county of Greater London. Until 1965 it was within the historic county of Essex. Part of the Lower Lea Valley, Stratford is situated 6 miles (10 km) east-northeast of Charing Cross, and includes the localities of Maryland and East Village. Part of the London Borough of Newham, a local government district of Greater London, it was previously part of the parish of West Ham, which historically formed an ancient parish in the hundred of Becontree. Following reform of local government in London in 1965, the parish and borough of West Ham was abolished, becoming part of the borough of Newham in the newly formed Greater London administrative area and ceremonial county. Stratford grew rapidly in the 19th century following the introduction of the railway to the area in 1839, forming part of the conurbation of London, similar to much of south-west Essex. The late 20th century was a period of severe economic decl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Zoologist
''The Zoologist'' was a monthly natural history magazine established in 1843 by Edward Newman and published in London. Newman acted as editor-in-chief until his death in 1876, when he was succeeded, first by James Edmund Harting (1876–1896), and later by William Lucas Distant (1897–1916). Originating from an enlargement of '' The Entomologist'', ''The Zoologist'' contained long articles, short notes, comments on current events, and book reviews covering the entire Animal Kingdom throughout the world, until ''The Entomologist'' was separated again in 1864. Initially, half of the space was devoted to birds, rising to two-thirds later. In 1916 ''The Zoologist'' was amalgamated with '' British Birds'' (founded 1908).. See alsotitle page of vol. 10, issue 8(in BHL) with the text "With which is incorporated 'The Zoologist'".

Daisy Greville, Countess Of Warwick
Frances Evelyn "Daisy" Greville, Countess of Warwick (''née'' Maynard; 10 December 1861 – 26 July 1938) was a British socialite and philanthropist. Although embedded in late- Victorian British high society, she was also a campaigning socialist, supporting many schemes to aid the less well-off in education, housing, employment, and pay. She established colleges for the education of women in agriculture and market gardening, first in Reading, then in Studley. She established a needlework school and employment scheme in Essex as well as using her ancestral homes to host events and schemes for the benefit of her tenants and workers. Greville was a long-term confidant or mistress to the Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VII. She was said to be referenced in the popular music hall song " Daisy, Daisy", owing to her rather unorthodox conduct. Family Born at 27 Berkeley Square, London, she was the elder of two daughters of Colonel Charles Maynard and his second wife, B ...
