By Frank Hedges Butler, F.R.G.S., Founder of the Royal Aero Club, First Hon. Treasurer, Royal Automobile Club, 1 897-1902. With 4 Maps and 65 Illustrations. Cloth, 12/6 net. [Third Impression. " Mr. Hedges Butler's vivacious narrative is the more interesting since so little is really known of the region he describes. Mr. Butler has a pleasant descriptive style of his own : the country and the people become very plain to us, for all their strangeness, as he writes ; while the anecdotes of his own personal experiences have a racy flavour. Also—and of how few volumes of travels can we say the same?—the book is a reliable as well as a pleasant guide ; invaluable information as to routes, roads, and means of communication generally are all here put unreservedly at the reader's disposal." The Outlook. " For the first time in English and by an Englishman we have here a substantial account of the people of Lapland." The Friend. "A very informing and entertaining volume." Daily Telegraph. " This is a very interesting and informative book, and we heartily congratulate- Mr. Butler upon it." The Sphere. " A fascinating account of the country and its people. It is at once a fascinating story of travel, a practical guide- book and a storehouse of interesting information on the manners, custom, and folk-lore of a little-known people." World's Work.

    Pro-Biz Web site - www.probus-teddington-hampton.org.uk Issue No 240 News from Teddington and Hampton Probus January 2019 Today heralds a departure from our normal monthly Lunch when we have with us today our Ladies! Welcome to you all and we hope you enjoy THE OCCASION PROBUS CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON Members gathered as usual to enjoy a pre-lunch drink and chat with colleagues. However, being the Christmas meeting, there was much scurrying and hurrying as members exchanged cards left right and centre. Being Christmas, members enjoyed a three course seasonal lunch at the normal cost, the additional expense being met by Club funds. As we did not have a guest speaker for this lunch, the time was amply filled by members - this time - with contributions from Chairman Chris Pollard, Tony Cooke and Phil Shepherd. In addition, the Chairman presented Christmas gratuities to the catering and bar staff and thanked them for looking after us throughout the past year. We were then very professionally entertained by our Caterer, Sarah Burley, who sang a number of Christmas Carols, together with a couple of others which required participation by the assembled membership. The Chairman finished by wishing all members a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. WALK AROUND BUSHY & HOME PARKS TO THE WHITE HART, KINGSTON BRIDGE – 2 JANUARY. Nine survivors from the festive season and the New Year’s celebrations met up at the car park on Bell Hill. We were graced with the presence of Colin and Hazel Greasby, this being their first attempt at a Probus walk.

  • Three Men in a Boat Jerome K
    Three Men In A Boat Jerome K. Jerome Preface. The chief beauty of this book lies not so much in its literary style, or in the extent and usefulness of the information it conveys, as in its simple truthfulness. Its pages form the record of events that really happened. All that has been done is to colour them; and, for this, no extra charge has been made. George and Harris and Montmorency are not poetic ideals, but things of flesh and blood—especially George, who weighs about twelve stone. Other works may excel this in dept of thought and knowledge of human nature: other books may rival it in originality and size; but, for hopeless and incurable veracity, nothing yet discovered can surpass it. This, more than all its other charms, will, it is felt, make the volume precious in the eye of the earnest reader; and will lend additional weight to the lesson that the story teaches. LONDON, August, 1889. Chapter I. Three invalids.—Sufferings of George and Harris.—A victim to one hundred and seven fatal maladies.—Useful prescriptions.—Cure for liver complaint in children.—We agree that we are overworked, and need rest.—A week on the rolling deep?—George suggests the River.— Montmorency lodges an objection.—Original motion carried by majority of three to one. There were four of us—George, and William Samuel Harris, and myself, and Montmorency. We were sitting in my room, smoking, and talking about how bad we were—bad from a medical point of view I mean, of course. Three Men In A Boat Jerome K.
