KELLY 2, CASTLE ST., CITY RD. ; AND 66, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.a i8g6 ^^ 01.. I 16 K 3 — PREFACE rpniS biography was begun on December 16, 1895, J- and completed on March 21, 1896,—a period of three months and five days. Ordinarily such haste is greatly to be deprecated, but in this case urgency of cir- cumstance rendered it unavoidable. To have delayed the pubUcation of the book until the autumn would have seriously jeopardised its success. The forced speed at which it has been written will perhaps be accepted in explanation, if not excuse, of such defects as may be discernible in its style and contents. Every endeavour has been made to ensure accuracy and fulness of detail, and to furnish a satisfactory presentation of Mr. Mackenzie's personality and work. Grateful acknowledgments are hereby tendered to the many friends who have kindly supplied information, granted the use of letters, or in any way assisted in the preparation of the work. The names of such have, as far as practicable, been noted in connection with their several contributions. Two persons, not so named, Mr. E. J. Phalp of Haswell, and Bailie Doig of Dundee,—demand special thanks for valuable infor- ; vi PREFACE mation relating to Mr. Mackenzie's earlier life and surroundings. It only remains to be added, that the aim of the writer has been to portray the hero of these pages ia that larger outline clear to those who knew him best and his gratification will be abundant if what has been to him a labour of love should succeed in securing for Mr. Mackenzie ampler appreciation as a man of genius, a friend of the people, and a servant of Jesus Christ.

UNLIKE Eembrandt and other masters, among all the canvases he painted, Peter Mackenzie in- chided no portrait of himself. Ceaseless activities crowded out of his life all possibility of autobiography. What a story he might have written had leisure been allowed to nurse him in her lap awhile before death struck the pen for ever from his fingers ! He made a beginning, but it was a mere scrap ; covering only five pages of note-paper, hurried in style, and meagre in statement. Swiftly, indeed, must he hurry on, when in so brief a chronicle he travels from Glen Shee, in the north of Scotland, to Didsbury, on the skirts of Manchester, and covers a period of over thirty years. Yet, hurried and bare as the history is, like a half-clad beggar in too mucli haste to gather 2 LIFE OF PETER MACKENZIE alms, what interest it awakens, and how valuable, in the absence of other witnesses, are the few ragged, disjointed details it lets fall for us as it scurries onward ! I was liorn in Glen Sliee, North Highlands of Scotland on the 11th of Novemljer 1824. Glen Shee is a romantic valley, flanked on the east by Mount Blair, and on the west by Lamh Dearg, through which the road from Blairgowrie climbs patiently up towards Braemar, a distance of thirty- five miles. The road is designated the Eoyal Eoute, owing to its having been chosen by the Queen and Prince Albert as the way to Balmoral before the Deeside Eailway was constructed. The surrounding mountains rise to a height of from three to four thousand feet, and listen with haughty brows to the brawling of the river Shee in the valley below. Before the road enters the glen, it clambers up a steep hill, and beyond it hugs the shoulder of Cairnwall, until, having threaded a sharp zigzag, called the Devil's Elbow, and climbed to an elevation of two thousand feet, it reaches the summit of the pass, near where the small loch of Brotrachan sleeps quietly on the left. This is the watershed, from which the road rapidly descends, by Glenclunie, to Braemar. The inn at the head of the glen is known as Tlic S'pittal, a corruption of the word hospital, the name having its origin in the fact that a hospice of tlie monks or Hospitallers of St. John once stood here, and served as a refuge for travellers. Here, among these rugged mountains, the strength and largeness of which seem to have passed into him, — — : EA RL Y INFL UENCES 5 ricylioned by tlic free air, bi'iiwiii'd liy Llie uiihiiKk'rcd sua, luu'dcned by the wliolcsome faro coiiimoii t(i tlio household of the Scottish peasant, the man whose course we have to follow through these pages spent the 1irst three years of liis life, reminding us involun- tarily (if that other child, of whom Wordsworth sang Three years she grew in sun and shower.

  • Hitchmoughs Black Country Pubs
    HITCHMOUGH’S BLACK COUNTRY PUBS WEST BROMWICH (Inc. Golds Green, Greets Green, Hill Top, Lyndon) 3rd. Edition - © 2014 Tony Hitchmough. All Rights Reserved www.longpull.co.uk INTRODUCTION Well over 40 years ago, I began to notice that the English public house was more than just a building in which people drank. The customers talked and played, held trips and meetings, the licensees had their own stories, and the buildings had experienced many changes. These thoughts spurred me on to find out more. Obviously I had to restrict my field; Black Country pubs became my theme, because that is where I lived and worked. Many of the pubs I remembered from the late 1960’s, when I was legally allowed to drink in them, had disappeared or were in the process of doing so. My plan was to collect any information I could from any sources available. Around that time the Black Country Bugle first appeared; I have never missed an issue, and have found the contents and letters invaluable. I then started to visit the archives of the Black Country boroughs. Directories were another invaluable source for licensees’ names, enabling me to build up lists. The censuses, church registers and licensing minutes for some areas, also were consulted. Newspaper articles provided many items of human interest (eg. inquests, crimes, civic matters, industrial relations), which would be of value not only to a pub historian, but to local and social historians and genealogists alike. With the advances in technology in mind, I decided the opportunity of releasing my entire archive digitally, rather than mere selections as magazine articles or as a book, was too good to miss.

  • Disley from Chantry to Parish: Sources for the History of Anglican Chapels
    Disley from chantry to parish: Sources for the history of Anglican chapels Jan Wood The church of St. Mary, Disley, stands high upon a hill above the village, reached by a steep path from the lychgate at the bottom of Red Lane. When Oliver Fizzwig, columnist on the Glossop Record, visited it, he wended his way through ‘winding mazes of shrubbery’. John Byng had earlier been impressed by the view of the church from below and of the surrounding countryside from the church­ yard above,1 but by the 1930s the building was concealed by lime trees,2 and today’s visitor has to search even harder than Mr Fizzwig for that first view. Its history has also been difficult to see clearly and has to be approached by circuitous ways. Disley became a parish church only in 19 13,3 and its previous status as a chantry and then as a parochial chapel has served to obscure its foundation and early history from the view of historians just as surely as the trees now obscure it from visitors. Disley lies in the foothills of the Pennines in north-east Cheshire, within Macclesfield forest and close to the Derbyshire border.4 The village is on the edge of Lyme Park, where the patrons of Disley church, the Legh family, lived from the sixteenth century until the ' S.

  • Monroe County Court Records 1818- Early1900s
    Monroe County Court Records 1818- Early1900s November, 2017 Compiled by Volunteers of the Genealogy Library Monroe County History Center Preface The Monroe County History Center holds all known original Monroe County Court Records to approximately 1950. The documents were previously held by the County Clerk’s office and were transferred to the Historical Society in the 1990’s. Some records listed in the original ledgers were lost before this transfer. This index comprises the earliest county court records from 1818 to the early 1900’s held at the History Center. Both civil and criminal cases are included. In criminal cases, the defendant broke a law and the plaintiff is the State of Indiana. In some cases, the defendant broke a law at the offense of another individual (for example, a robbery), and these cases are listed by the plaintiff with the signifier (State ex rel.) following the plaintiff’s name. Divorce cases are marked in the notes section. The 1818-1870 records were not indexed for date and cause. Probate records have been separated and are also available in the Genealogy Library with their own index. Every effort has been made to reflect the accurate spelling of each name and to maintain consistency of naming for companies, organizations, and municipalities.
