MY objects in writing " Stephan Langton " were, first to add a Dcw interest to Albury and its neighbourhood, by representing truly and historically our aspects in the rei"n of King John ; next, to bring to modem memory the grand character of a great and good Archbishop who long antedated Luther in his opposition to Popery, and who stood up for English freedom, ctilminating in Magna Charta, many centuries before these onr latter days ; thirdly, to clear my brain of numeroua fancies and picturea, aa only the writing of another book could do that. Ita aeed is truly recorded in the first chapter, as to the two stone coffins still in the chancel of St. Martha's. I began the book on November 26th, 1857, and finished it in exactly eight weeks, on January 2l8t, 1858, reading for the work included; in two months more it waa printed by Hurat and Blackett. I in­ tended it for one fail volume, but the publishers preferred to issue it in two scant ones ; it has since been reproduced as one railway book by Ward and Lock. Mr. Drummond let me have the run of his famoua historical library at Albury for purposes of reference, etc., beyond what I had in my own ; and I consulted and partially read, for accurate pictures of John's time in England, the histories of Tyrrell, Holinshed, Hume, Poole, Markland ; Thomson's " Magna Charta," James's " Philip Augustus," Milman's "Latin Christi­ anity," Hallam's "Middle Agea," Maimbourg'a "LivesofthePopes," Banke't "Life of Innocent the Third," Maitland on "The Dark VllI PKEhACE.

  • Post-Presidential Speeches
    Post-Presidential Speeches • Fort Pitt Chapter, Association of the United States Army, May 31, 1961 General Hay, Members of the Fort Pitt Chapter, Association of the United States Army: On June 6, 1944, the United States undertook, on the beaches of Normandy, one of its greatest military adventures on its long history. Twenty-seven years before, another American Army had landed in France with the historic declaration, “Lafayette, we are here.” But on D-Day, unlike the situation in 1917, the armed forces of the United States came not to reinforce an existing Western front, but to establish one. D-Day was a team effort. No service, no single Allied nation could have done the job alone. But it was in the nature of things that the Army should establish the beachhead, from which the over-running of the enemy in Europe would begin. Success, and all that it meant to the rights of free people, depended on the men who advanced across the ground, and by their later advances, rolled back the might of Nazi tyranny. That Army of Liberation was made up of Americans and Britons and Frenchmen, of Hollanders, Belgians, Poles, Norwegians, Danes and Luxembourgers. The American Army, in turn, was composed of Regulars, National Guardsmen, Reservists and Selectees, all of them reflecting the vast panorama of American life. This Army was sustained in the field by the unparalleled industrial genius and might of a free economy, organized by men such as yourselves, joined together voluntarily for the common defense. Beyond the victory achieved by this combined effort lies the equally dramatic fact of achieving Western security by cooperative effort.

The Great Prairie burns in the blood-red luster of sunset, which with full intensity, illuminates this unique theatre of nature. Here the wildness of arid desert blends with the smoother view of full green land mixed with raw, sandy stretches and scattered islands of trees tormented by the hot rays of the summer sun and lashed by the blizzards of severe winters. This country is open to the view. Surrounded by a level or slightly undulated plateau, it is a hopelessly infinite panorama of flatness on which are etched shining paths of streams framed by bushes and trees until finally the sight merges with a far away haze suggestive of the ramparts of mountain ranges. The most unforgettable moment on the prairie is the sunset. The rich variety of colors, thoughts and feelings creates memories of daybreak and nightfall on the prairie which will live forever in the mind.

  • And the Winners Were…. All Of
    Diamond Jubilee Souvenir Issue FROM THE SUTTON HALL And The Winners Were…. STOCKCROSS All of us! July 2012 No:82 “Thank you to everyone who helped organise the jubilee events. Without you it would never have happened, and also many thanks to everyone who took part in the events and activities ... it was a lovely community event. The fact that people are still talking about its success and how much they enjoyed it, is brilliant!” Sarah Russell 1 THE GRAPEVINE—JULY 2012 View from The Chairs! Jubilee Events - Treasurer’s view! What a wonderful weekend it was! The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration in Stockcross proved to be a mighty fine one. Once the bunting went up in time for the NGS Open Gardens and Craft Fair it was possible to feel buzz around the village. The Open Gardens and Craft fair exceeded all expectations with the beautiful weather bringing everyone out into the sunshine to enjoy a touch of the English country garden. All credit to the gardeners, organ- isers and volunteers who made it all happen. Then as soon the scarecrows started pop- ping up around the place, amid the squeals of delight from the children, the excitement moved up another notch. As I ran between home and the hall getting ready for the Tiara Ball I lost count of the number of times I a saw a car stop in the middle of the B4000, hazard lights on, to view the ‘Royal Guard’ (I don’t think he scared the crow though). With so many brilliantly designed scarecrows and more ideas still coming one just knows this one is going to be a goer for The Jubilee was a busy time for the village – as reported else- years to come.
