  • Anthony Viscount Montague's Book of Orders and Rules
    Anthony Viscount Montague’s Book of Orders and Rules Edited, mapped, and modernized from “A Book of Orders and Rules”, by Sir Sibbald David Scott, in Sussex Archaeological Collections, vol. vii, London (1854). The original is—or was in 1854—at Easebourne Priory, Sussex. http://books.google.com/books?id=tkYJAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA173&lpg=PA173&dq Introduction Lord Anthony Maria Browne, 2nd Viscount Montague (also rendered Montacute) wrote this document in 1595, when he was just 21/22, and in it he sounds somewhat defensive. His father had died before his grandfather, so young Anthony inherited at the age of 18 a household that had long been under the hand of one man who had gotten old and sick in Her Majesty's service. It appears as though the staff had gotten used to doing things without much supervision or accountability, and may have gotten very lax in performance. He mentions several times, for example, that the woods and meadows both need looking into. The senior staff in particular may have developed a little attitude problem about what "perks" of office were theirs of right and ancient custom, as opposed to the generous hand of their master. At the time of writing, they are likely still thinking of their new viscount as "the boy", who doesn't understand how we do things around here. In the end we see his lordship taking back all privileges to remind them that they come from him, not from some inalienable right. And he'll choose to restore them one at a time, maybe, if he sees fit to do so.

Jesús Navarro Alberola Maybe we’re just a little nostalgic because our line of business is to sell packaged nostalgia, the aromas of your mother’s cooking, of your childhood, of family gatherings, aromas that trigger melancholy and reminiscence. Our grandfather Jesús was the one who started paving the way for Carmencita almost ninety years ago; he did it with courage, hard work and humility. Accompanying him was our grandmother Carmen who always said, “Above all, you are members of the same family so you must love each other. When times are hard, which they inevitably will be sometimes, you need to love each other even more”. And that’s what we do. The pages that follow tell of what we have done so far. The future is still to come, but it would be an honour for us to share it with you. Thank you for your interest and for the time you spend savouring this book.
