CHAPTER IV. The death of King Charles the Second took the nation by coap. surprise. His frame was naturally strong, and did not appear ~ De>lh ot to have suffered from excess. He had always been mindful of Ch»ri«t his health even in his pleasures; and his habits were such as promise a long life and a robust old age. Indolent as he was on all occasions which required tension of the mind, he was active and persevering in bodily exercise. He had, when young, been renowned as a tennis player *, and was, even in the decline of life, an indefatigable walker. His ordinary pace was such that those who were admitted to the honour of his society found it difficult to keep up with him. He rose early, and generally passed three or four hours a day in the open air. He might be seen, before the dew was off the grass in St. James’s Park, striding among the trees, playing with his spaniels, and flinging corn to his ducks; and these exhi- bitions endeared him to the common people, who always love to see the great unbend.** At length, towards the close of the year 1684, he was pre- vented, by a slight attack of what was supposed to be gout, from rambling as usual. He now spent his mornings in his laboratory, where he amused himself with experiments on the * Pepys’s Diary, Dec. 28. 1663, Sept. 2. 1667. *• Burnet, i 606. 462. ; Spectator, No. ; Lords’ Journals, Oct. 28. 1678; Cibber’s Apology.

His kingdom was tranquil: he was not in pressing want of money : his power was greater than it had ever been : the party which had long thwarted him had been beaten down ; but the cheerfulness which had supported him against adverse fortune had vanished in this season of prosperity. A trifle now suf- ficed to depress those elastic spirits which had borne up against defeat, exile, and penury.

  • Part I Background and Summary
    PART I BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY Chapter 1 BRITISH STATUTES IN IDSTORICAL PERSPECTIVE The North American plantations were not the earliest over­ seas possessions of the English Crown; neither were they the first to be treated as separate political entities, distinct from the realm of England. From the time of the Conquest onward, the King of England held -- though not necessarily simultaneously or continuously - a variety of non-English possessions includ­ ing Normandy, Anjou, the Channel Islands, Wales, Jamaica, Scotland, the Carolinas, New-York, the Barbadoes. These hold­ ings were not a part of the Kingdom of England but were govern­ ed by the King of England. During the early medieval period the King would issue such orders for each part of his realm as he saw fit. Even as he tended to confer more and more with the officers of the royal household and with the great lords of England - the group which eventually evolved into the Council out of which came Parliament - with reference to matters re­ lating to England, he did likewise with matters relating to his non-English possessions.1 Each part of the King's realm had its own peculiar laws and customs, as did the several counties of England. The middle ages thrived on diversity and while the King's writ was acknowledged eventually to run throughout England, there was little effort to eliminate such local practices as did not impinge upon the power of the Crown. The same was true for the non-Eng­ lish lands. An order for one jurisdictional entity typically was limited to that entity alone; uniformity among the several parts of the King's realm was not considered sufficiently important to overturn existing laws and customs.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

  • Dates & Events
    Nailsea a Handbook of Dates and Events compiled by Peter Wright This ebook version, © Peter Wright and Nailsea & District Local History Society, PO Box 1089, Nailsea BS48 2YP, has been made available in July 2009, so that an individual may download and read this document, for private research purposes only. It must not be reproduced or passed to a third party without written permission of the copyright holders INTRODUCTION The booklet “ Nailsea – a Handbook of Dates and Events ” is still available from N&DLHS through this web site. The organiser of a Pageant planned to welcome the new Millennium to Nailsea asked me for some events that he could recreate as part of the activities. When unfortunately lack of support meant that the project had to be scrapped I had a number of items recorded from secondary sources that it seemed a pity to “waste”. I then decided to examine the books that I had in my possession and others available through the library service. I did not carry out any research on original documents. The books are listed in the “Sources section”. I took notes of each event that I came across and over a period of time the information increased far beyond my original expectation. The booklet on which this list is based was published by me in 1998. In producing the book in A5 format the entries were slightly truncated. This version which is in “A4” format has enabled me to go back to the original draft. This does mean that the size of the text and the amount of room for information has slightly increased but some fine tuning incorporated in the original printed edition may be missing.
