London Recollected, Vol. II: Its History, Lore and Legend

The area covered by this book is one of the oldest and most interesting parts of the City. Many of the old Livery Companies have their halls here and St Bartholomew's, perhaps London's oldest hospital, has a chapter. Smithfield, a grim place of execution in its day, Cloth Fair, which remained for centuries the centre of the drapery trade and Pie Corner, where the Great Fire of London finally flickered out are all included. The great school, Christ's Hospital, first stood on the site of the Grey Friars Convent in Newgate. To the North lies Clerkenwell where the ancient order of Knights Hospitallers and Templars flourished for many centuries.

Old London Charterhouse to Holborn

Life in Spain: Past and Present

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
