II. : THE deiterol STUD BOOK, CONTAINING PEDIGREES OF RACE HORSES, &C. &-C. From the earliest Accounts to the Year 1831. inclusice. ITS FOUR VOLUMES. VOL. II. Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view. -

Guerber: “The End of the Merovingians” From The Story of Old France (AD 1910) Charles Martel, having conquered such dreaded enemies as the Saracens, was the most powerful man in the country, and he exercised the royal power unhindered until his death in 741. He made kings at will, but the Merovingian princes were so weak and useless that for five years he actually left the throne vacant and ruled alone. When he died, the realm was divided between his two sons; but they were allies, and before long one of [66] them entered a monastery to do penance for his sins, leaving the other—whose name was Pippin, like his famous grandfather—to rule alone. This Pippin, son of Charles the Hammer, was so small of stature that he is known in history as Pippin the Short (le Bref), but he was nevertheless very strong, brave, and ambitious. It seemed to him so ridiculous to set one idiotic Merovingian prince after another upon the throne that he decided it would be better to become king himself. -
Reconsidering Jessie Pope: the Writer Before “A Certain Poetess”
Reconsidering Jessie Pope: The Writer Before “A Certain Poetess” by Madelyn Michelle Cook A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama December 12, 2015 Copyright 2015 by Madelyn Michelle Cook Approved by Paula Backscheider, Chair, Professor of English Jonathan Bolton, Professor of English Jeremy Downes, Professor of English Megan Haselschwerdt, Assistant Professor of Human Development and Family Studies Abstract In four chapters, I present a case study of Jessie Pope’s early career, focusing on her use of women in her writing for adults. Her women are smart, and their situations are orchestrated by Pope in ways that lay bare negotiations of space, silence, voice, and autonomy for the Edwardian woman. I move from examining broadly her women as they were published in Punch and collected in her first two anthologies, Paper Pellets and Airy Nothings, to a look at how she engages in the conversation surrounding women’s suffrage and the Women’s Social and Political Union and finally an examination of how Pope critiques the language surrounding the rise of the automobile. All draw attention to the situation of women. ii Acknowledgments My journey toward discovering and recovering Jessie Pope has been a long and often frustrating one. I’d like to thank Mary McCormack for introducing me to Wilfred Owen when I was an undergraduate. “Strange Meeting” put me on the path to finding Pope, but I would not have known what to do with her without the guidance of Paula Backscheider. -

"' Thormanby " has produced a work that will be welcome not only to the sportsman, but to that far larger class, the general reader also. There is a freshness and a vigour of style, a wealth of anecdote, both new and old, a clear conception of the points of usefulness which it is intended to bring out, and a charm in the whole arrangement. It is really an anecdotal history of the horse and its achievements, inclining rather to the sporting side, it is true, but still complete enough to make the work a standard one Facts either of history or of character are fixed in the mind by means of pertinent anecdote, and it is characteristic of the work that in every case the anecdotes have been selected in order to convey such a lesson, and not merely for the purpose of telling a good story On the whole, it may be said of the work that every page is pleasant reading ; and when the work is finished, it will be laid down with a feeling of regret that there is not more of it.'

Pope Joan Ii
0 POPE JOAN II by Pat Montley SYNOPSIS Urged by apparitions of her namesakes Saint Joan and the apocryphal 9th-century Pope Joan I, and armed with an infusion of the Life Force, Sister Joan—faster than a speeding angel, more powerful than a prayer, able to leap clerical hierarchies in a single bound—blackmails her way to becoming pope, so she can fight the never-ending battle for truth, justice, gender equality, and the American way by transforming the Catholic Church into a liberal democracy and saving the world from overpopulating. CAST OF CHARACTERS (4f, 1 m) Sister Joan—mid-40’s. An efficient and creative organizer, champion of the poor and oppressed; a reluctant reformer, but once called, committed to action. She does not wear a habit or veil—which is unfortunate since she has no sense of style or concern for appearance. She wears Birkenstocks with socks. Saint Joan—19, a coach/cheerleader with radical ideas, French charm and a French accent Sister Katherine—late 60’s, Sister Joan’s aunt; elected leader of America’s Catholic nuns; a hopeful, determined liberal Henry Cardinal Gardner—early 70’s, an expert in moral theology, Prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith; a persistent conservative Pope Joan I / Joan Shakespeare, ageless, any race; can be trans. A practical (i.e., th unscrupulous) 9 -century pre-cursor of Machiavelli with a sense of humor and a Joan-Rivers delivery SETTING The action takes place in 2014, over a ten-month period.

Butler's Remains. THE DOCTOR, <Spc. VOL. IV. LONDON: LONGMAN, KEES, ORME, BROWN, GREEN AND LONGMAN. 1837. LONDON : PRINTED BY W. NICOL, 51, PALL-MALL. HISTORICAL MEDICAL PRELUDE OF MOTTOES, TO THE READER IN ORDINARY. The Muses forbid that I should restrain your meddling, whom I see already busy with the title, and tricking over the leaves : it is your own. I departed with my right, when I let it first abroad ; and now so secure an interpreter I am of my chance, that neither praise nor dispraise from you can affect me.—The commendation of good things may fall within a many, the approbation but in a few; for the most com¬ mend out of affection, self-tickling, an easiness or imitation ; but men judge only out of knowledge. That is the trying faculty ; and to those works that will bear a judge, nothing is more dangerous than a foolish praise. You will say, I shall not have yours therefore ; but rather the contrary, all vexation of censure. If I were not above &uch molestations now, I had great cause to think unworthily of my studies, or they had so of me. But I leave you to your exercise. Begin. Ben Jonson.
