    Home Guard: the Forces to Meet the Expected French Invasions / 1

    The Napoleon Series Home Guard: 1805 HOME GUARD: THE FORCES TO MEET THE EXPECTED FRENCH INVASION / 1 SEPTEMBER 1805 The Peace of Amiens lasted 14 months, until Britain declared war on France on 18 May 1803. Napoleon turned his attention to invading England, saying: "All my thoughts are directed towards England. I want only for a favourable wind to plant the Imperial Eagle on the Tower of London." He started to assemble an expeditionary force at Boulogne. The invasion scare started in the middle of 1803. In the next six months, the British government's call for volunteers to resist an invasion was met with a massive response; within a few weeks 280,000 men had volunteered, and the government was unprepared for this numbers of volunteers. The Invasion Scare lasted for roughly two years. Britain’s ‘Home Guard’ of an earlier era watched the coast of France nervously as the Emperor Napoleon assembled a vast armed camp centred on Boulogne, and named them the ‘Army of England’. On 26 August 1805, in response to dramatically changing political events in the east, the Emperor Napoleon ordered Marechal Berthier to send the newly-christened Grande Armèe on a line of march eastwards, ultimately towards Ulm, Vienna and the foggy hills of Austerlitz. Some 180,000 French troops left Boulogne. The Invasion Scare was over. The British Army to repel such an invasion, had it come, was as follows. Many of the General Officers were tasked with commanding the numerous Militia and Volunteer units, and seemingly often held multiple commands. This article, drawn from wide variety of articles and not all of a common date, presents as close a picture as can be discovered of the organisation and location of the regulars, militia and volunteers in the week Napoleon turned east.

  • A Genealogical Handbook of German Research

    A Genealogical Handbook of German Research

    Family History Library • 35 North West Temple Street • Salt Lake City, UT 84150-3400 USA A GENEALOGICAL HANDBOOK OF GERMAN RESEARCH REVISED EDITION 1980 By Larry O. Jensen P.O. Box 441 PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH 84062 Copyright © 1996, by Larry O. Jensen All rights reserved. No part of this work may be translated or reproduced in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, including photocopying, without permission in writing from the author. Printed in the U.S.A. INTRODUCTION There are many different aspects of German research that could and maybe should be covered; but it is not the intention of this book even to try to cover the majority of these. Too often when genealogical texts are written on German research, the tendency has been to generalize. Because of the historical, political, and environmental background of this country, that is one thing that should not be done. In Germany the records vary as far as types, time period, contents, and use from one kingdom to the next and even between areas within the same kingdom. In addition to the variation in record types there are also research problems concerning the use of different calendars and naming practices that also vary from area to area. Before one can successfully begin doing research in Germany there are certain things that he must know. There are certain references, problems and procedures that will affect how one does research regardless of the area in Germany where he intends to do research. The purpose of this book is to set forth those things that a person must know and do to succeed in his Germanic research, whether he is just beginning or whether he is advanced.
  • Hattie Family Memoirs

    Hattie Family Memoirs

    HATTIE FAMILY MEMOIRS HATTIE FAMILY MEMOIRS An Account of the Families Descended from Alexander Hattie, Emigre of 1786, with Sketches of the Family Pioneers and Related Material BY ROBERT McCONNELL HATTIE AND JOSEPH HOWE KIRK Printed by The Imperial Publishing Company, Limited, Halifax, N. S., Canada, for Private Circulation by the Authors. 1936 FOREWORD HE present history is only a fragment, but it is hoped it may serve as a nucleus around which to gather T information on which to build up the family archives. The writer would be glad to have material not incorporated in this record that any descendant of the pioneer Hatties may have to supply-material relating not only to the pioneers them­ selves, but to any descendants down to the most recently born babe. While it is not proposed to produce a revised history, the writer would be glad to be the repository of authoritative in­ formation that in some way may be made available to the folk coming after us. In the form in which this history appears it is as complete in details as the limitations of time and circumstances have per­ mitted. Even in its incompleteness it results from much corres­ pondence and many personal interviews, and, indeed, from much travel in the countryside from which the descendants in this generation are sprung. There are many gaps; for there have been several points at which it has not been possible to make contacts whereby information could be obtained. In spite of much effort to have every name and date and statement herein fully verified, there are still no doubt many errors.

    VS. Naipaul: a Bibliographical Update (198 7-94)

    VS. Naipaul: A Bibliographical Update (198 7-94) KELVIN JARVIS JLHIS IS A bibliographical update of my V. S. Naipaul: A Selective Bibliography with Annotations: 195J-198J, covering the period 1987-94. Since 1 g87 (when An Enigma of Arrival: A Novel in Five Sections appeared), Naipaul has published three books—A Turn in the South ( 1989), India: A Million Mutinies Now ( 1990), and A Way in the World ( 1994)—and more than 18 substantial pieces, in addition to delivering various lectures and acceptance speeches. This checklist is arranged in six parts. Part I contains Naipaul's most recent writings and comments, listed under three head• ings: published books, articles, and interviews, with entries given chronologically. Part II covers recent bibliographical listings of his work. Part III includes 16 full-length books written about him. Part PV lists articles on him in books, reference volumes, journals, and magazines. Part V has book reviews and critical studies of his individual books. And Part VI itemizes doctoral theses exclu• sively or partly on him. Conference papers have featured prominently in the spate of attention Naipaul continues to generate; these papers are usu• ally quite elusive to trace, particularly if they are not published collectively and within a reasonably short time frame. Thus this checklist omits offerings on Naipaul from conferences and all foreign-language citations. It also excludes newspaper articles with imprints prior to 1987. The Enigma of Arrival spans Naipaul's life in England and echoes a finality in his writing career. The protagonist of this novel writes: "with time passing, I felt mocked by what I had already done; it seemed to belong to a time of vigour, now past for good.

McKUSICK University of Maryland, Baltimore County Today we are at a crucial moment in the evolution of the Oxford En­ glish Dictionary, as the dog-eared volumes are withdrawn from library shelves and replaced by the sleek second edition of 1989. This new OED bears witness to the continuing relevance and utility of the "New English Dictionary on Historical Principles" for the current generation of literary scholars. The event of its publication provides an opportunity for a fresh historical perspective on the circum­ stances surrounding the production of the original OED, which was published between 1884 and 1928 in a series of 125 fascicles and bound up into those thick volumes so familiar to students and teachers of English literature.

His greatest work is the novel Robinson Crusoe. It is based on an actual event which took place during his time. Robinson Crusoe is considered to be one of the most popular novels in English language. He started a journal named The Review. His A Journal of the Plague Year deals with the Plague in London in 1665. Sir Richard Steele and Joseph Addison worked together for many years. Richard Steele started the periodicals The Tatler, The Spectator, The Guardian, The English Man, and The Reader. Joseph Addison contributed in these periodicals and wrote columns. The imaginary character of Sir Roger de Coverley was very popular during the eighteenth century. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) is one of the greatest satirists of English literature. His first noteworthy book was The Battle of the Books. A Tale of a Tub is a religious allegory like Bunyan‟s Pilgrim’s Progress. His longest and most famous work is Gulliver’s Travels. Another important work of Jonathan Swift is A Modest Proposal.

Pidgeon Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 15 December 2011 ii iii ABSTRACT Who were the Wydeviles? The family arrived with the Conqueror in 1066. As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.
