Critchley has, over three years, transcribed and compiled Amalgamated Indexes from several Diaries in the possession of himself and his Scowcroft relatives. The Diaries record life in east-central Lancashire throughout the 19th century from 1772 to 1910 and were mostly written by Samuel Scowcroft. The main region of geographic coverage is triangulated by Bury/Bolton, Preston and Burnley.

Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 26 Sep. 2021. <http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781849662062.ch-006>. Downloaded from Bloomsbury Collections, www.bloomsburycollections.com, 26 September 2021, 18:30 UTC.

In order for him to continue competing at the Games he was given a cortisone injection before each subsequent race. Even though he could now race, it meant that the injury would be exacerbated and it would eventually keep him out of athletics for more than a year. For Elliott the knowledge of the consequences of this injury was compensated with the silver medal that he won in the 1,500 metres. 1 The case in point highlighted not only some of the dilemmas that athletes faced regarding injuries, particularly how far can they push their bodies before they sustain serious injury but also that essentially elite sport is about excess rather than the cultivation of a healthy body. The bodies of professional sportsmen and women have a limited amount of ‘athletic capital’ that allows them to compete for a certain number of years. Any ‘athletic death’ is not only conditioned by the ageing process but also by the wear and tear infl icted on them through training and competition.

  • The History of the Surgical Service at San Francisco General Hospital
    THE HISTORY OF THE SURGICAL SERVICE AT SAN FRANCISCO GENERAL HOSPITAL William Schecter, Robert Lim, George Sheldon, Norman Christensen, William Blaisdell i DEDICATION This book is dedicated to our patient and understanding wives Gisela Schecter, Carolee Lim, Ruth Sheldon, Sally Christensen, and Marilyn Blaisdell. Their help and support not only made our careers possible but also ensured that they would be successful. ii PREFACE I was delighted and honored to be asked to assist in the publication of this landmark book on the History of Surgery in the San Francisco General Hospital. The authors are to be commended on their accurate, readable and historic portrayal of the evolution of this center of excellence in trauma and general surgical patient care. As I read through the manuscript, it brought back warm and clear memories of days spent here both as a junior medical student and later as a resident in the University of California, San Francisco surgical program. It presents an impressive timeline of surgeons who have taught here, a number of whom have moved on and become outstanding leaders in the field of surgery. After 40 years of practice as a surgeon, I look back on my training here at this hospital as one of the most important contributors to my overall surgical and medical education. This hospital and its surgical staff imbued me with the essential knowledge and technical skills necessary to be an accomplished general surgeon and, most importantly, they taught me the value of seeking advice from a more experienced specialist when the occasion arose. I feel certain that every surgeon, who during their training has passed through the portals of San Francisco General Hospital, will also find in this book a powerful reminder of how important it has been in their life.

  • The History of Deane Parish Church
    Saynte Mariden DEANE PARISH CHURCH The ancient church at Deane - in common with most old churches- was built on the best site in the neighbourhood. It stood prominently overlooking a well-wooded dene- from which Deane takes its name- with the distant view of Winter Hill across the wide valley of the Middlebrook. Tradition claims a Saxon church to have existed on the site of the present Parish Church of Deane, and this conforms to the view held generally by historians- that the majority of our ancient village churches stand on the site of an earlier Norman or Saxon church. Whilst no actual record is known to support the tradition, yet it seems reasonable to consider the evidence of the old Saxon name of the stream which runs through Deane Clough - the Kirkebrok. Again it is tradition that tells of the chapel of Saynte Mariden being built in the year 1100 - about the time that Eccles Church was built; but as the church at Eccles was the mother church of Saynte Mariden it would seem that the folk of Deane, in this instance, have been over-anxious to claim antiquity. There is, however, documentary evidence of the existence of a church in later Norman times. We find in a deed Thomas, Chaplain of Flekho (Flixton) granting "in the third year of the seventh cycle of nine years from the translation of Saint Thomas the Martyr, the portion in the church of Eccles assigned him by Roger de Notton, to William clerk of Eccles for life." In return William grants to Thomas "all obventions of the said portion to be received in the mother-church of Eccles for four years ensuing; saving to himself the obventions of Saynte Mariden." Saint Thomas the Martyr is Thomas à Becket, who was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170, so that the year of the above deed is 1227.

TAYLOR & Co. (BLACKPOOL) LTD., BACK REGENT ROAD, BLACKPOOL 1961 PREFACE Jt is now more than thirty years since the last list of the Chester probate records, for the period 1811 to 1820, was published by the Record Society in volumes 78 and 79. In 1949 all the documents prior to 1858 were removed from the jurisdiction of the Chester Probate Registry and divided into three groups : those relating to Welsh estates were deposited in the National Library of Wales, the Cheshire ones went to the Cheshire Record Office in Chester, and the remainder — by far the largest portion — which related to Lancashire estates, together with the indexes, registers and act books were deposited in the Lancashire Record Office in Preston. All the wills proved and administrations granted in the Chester Court for the period 1821 to 1825 are now listed in this volume in three indexes, baldly described as Lancashire, Cheshire and Welsh, although several documents in each group relate to other parts of the country.
