Synopsis The Cambrian Quarterly Magazine and Celtic Repertory, 1830, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) by :
Excerpt from The Cambrian Quarterly Magazine and Celtic Repertory, 1830, Vol. 2 We are arrived at a milestone, three and a half miles from Barmouth, and, looking eastward to the hills, I observe a structure of other times, on the farther side of the field. Our direct way from hence to one of the principal objects of our excursion, situated upon a mountain plain, not seen from hence, just beyond that first high ground, would be to pass the old mansion, the name of which is Egryn; but our plan will be better executed, if we proceed a mile and a half farther along the Harlech road, and return by the ancient works now alluded to. But that old house, which attracted your attention, is one among several others of a similar character in this vale. It was originally the residence of a cymmro of some rank; and, in the fifteenth century, it was tenanted by friars. The inside is curious: the roof is supported by pointed arches, of fine Irish oak, springing from the basement, and dividing the building into three compartments. Over half of the middle one, which is the largest, there was till lately a gallery of communication between the apartments in each end, and pro tected by a balustrade, as if intended for an audience to hear and see what occurs on the earth below. How should you be so well acquainted with what you now describe Since I acquired this knowledge, a whole generation has passed away from hence to another world: in that house lived my parents, who have departed my brothers and sisters too, most of whom are gone.

Synopsis Imagined States by : Luisa Del Giudice
An international ensemble of folklore scholars looks at varied ways in which national and ethnic groups have traditionally and creatively used imagined states of existence-some idealizations, some demonizations-in the construction of identities for themselves and for others. Drawing on oral traditions, especially as represented in traditional ballads, broadsides, and tale collections, the contributors consider fertile landscapes of the mind where utopias overflow with bliss and abundance, stereotyped national and ethnic caricatures define the lives of "others," nostalgia glorifies home and occupation, and idealized and mythological animals serve as cultural icons and guideposts to harmonious social life.

Synopsis Self-Defense for Gentlemen and Ladies by : Colonel Thomas Hoyer Monstery
This 19th-century self-defense manual—written by a master swordsman—will appeal to fencers and martial artists as well as fans of Victorian-era culture, steampunk, and American history Colonel Thomas Hoyer Monstery was a master swordsman who participated in more than fifty duels, fought under twelve flags, battled gangsters, and was constantly involved in the great conflicts and upheavals of his time. In the 1870s, he began writing his magnum opus—a series of newspaper articles that are now collected here for the first time in Self-Defense for Gentleman and Ladies. In this book, Colonel Monstery presents a unique look into the Victorian-era fighting world. He describes styles such as British “purring” (shin-kicking), Welsh jump-kicking, and American rough-and-tumble fighting, in addition to providing illustrated instruction in the art of gentlemanly self-defense with a cane, staff, or one’s bare hands. Fifty rare drawings and photographs from the period illuminate Monstery’s world, while an extensive glossary of terms and an introductory biography of Colonel Monstery—including fascinating details of his many duels as well as his groundbreaking devotion to teaching fencing and self-defense skills to women—update his text to make it accessible and useful to gentlemen and ladies of any era. Contents Colonel Thomas Hoyer Monstery: The Unknown American Martial Arts Master I. Introduction. II. The Logic of Boxing. III. Standing and Striking. IV. Advancing to Strike and Feinting. V.
