Imprint: Newton Abbot, David and Charles, 2002 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket. A magnificent history of the men and women who carried out the smuggling trade, who were universally admired and everyone from poorest farmworker to wealthy landowner were involved in the trade or at least turned a blind eye. Although the days of the romantic smugglers ended during the middle 19th century, the memory of their deeds and misdeeds lives on in a thousand local legends and tales of battles and extraordinary escapades. All around the coast of Britain pubs, inns and remote houses were fitted out with elaborate hiding places, many of which survive. Most beautifully illustrated with colour and black and white plates. **** A LARGE HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.85 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST **** A1F. Book Condition: Fine.

It was discovered by Napoleon's troops in Egypt in the summer of 1799. Two men in particular worked on the stone's secrets: the first is Thomas Young, the brilliant English polymath who deserves to be better known. The second is the Frenchman Jean-Francois Champollin, the mercurial lover of all things Egyptian, who is known as the father of Egyptology.

Imprint: London, BCA/Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1999 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket. 350 pages. 34 illustrations. 7 maps. Sifting myth from history, Piers Paul Read reveals the Templars - the multinational force of warrior monks, in their white tunics with red crosses over chainmail. They were not only unique among Christian institutions but constituted the first uniformed standing army in the western world and became pioneers of international banking. Expropriated by Philip IV of France in 1307, and confessing under torture to blasphemy, heresy and sodomy, the Order was finally suppressed by Pope Clement V in 1312. In a narrative that incorporates the story of the crusades and the many colourful characters who had links with the Templars, Piers Paul Read examines the question of their guilt and identifies their relevance to our own times. 4.

First UK edition. From working class tenements to the pages of Punch, to the Houses of Parliament, the Anglo-Catholic movement provoked bitter debate and even violence throughout Victorian times. The author identifies Anglo-Catholicism as a countercultural movement, which championed practices that were symbolic affronts to some of the central values of the dominant middle-class culture of its time. He identifies certain members of the clergy (including John Henry Newman and his circle), the urban poor, women, and youths of both sexes, especially those put off by 'muscular Christianity', as those most attracted to the movement itself, and to the shock value it gave to the institutions, classes, and individuals whom they despised..

First Edition, First Printing. 207 Pages. 141 Illustrations, 23 in colour. One of the most controversial figures in history, Akhenaten has captured the imagination like no other Egyptian pharaoh. Much has been written about this strange, persecuted figure, whose freakish appearance - elongated and effete - is totally at odds with that of the traditional Egyptian ruler-hero.Scholars have speculated that he was perhaps a eunuch, or a sufferer from a genetic disorder - or even a woman. Known today as a heretic, Akhenaten sought to impose upon Egypt to worship a single god, and changed the country in every way, from art to the written language. he book is a revolutionary interpretation of a revolutionary king. **A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.9 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST** D4C.

Clutching their eight week-old sister in their arms, three-year-old Frances and six-year-old Loretta Reilly were abandoned by their mother outside the gates of the Poor Sisters of Nazareth Convent in Belfast in 1956. This is Frances' story of survival, how she suffered horrifically in the charge of the convent sisters, living with daily brutal and bloody beatings, she was treated like a slave, a child worker to be abused, and an orphan to be raped and molested. The convent regime stripped her of everything - an education, her innocence, and her childhood.
