From the publisher's blurb, Just as Peter Ackroyd's bestselling London is the biography of the city, Thames: the biography is the biography of the river, from sea to source. "Exploring its history from prehistoric times to the present day, the reader is drawn into an extraordinary world, learning about the fishes that swim in the river and the boats that ply its surface; about floods and tides; hauntings and suicides; miasmas and malaria; locks, weirs and embankments; bridges, docks and palaces. Peter Ackroyd has a genius for digging out the most surprising and entertaining details, and for writing about them in the most magisterial prose; the result is a wonderfully readable and captivating guide to this extraordinary river and the towns and villages which line it."

Thomas of Reading, and Three Ballads on the Spanish Armada
New York, J.F. Taylor & Co., 1903. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 4to 11" - 13" tall. Sturdy, still attractive, tightly bound hardcover, clean, if toned interior, moderately toned endpapers, page edges. Limited Edition of 150 copies, this being Copy #24. Bound in small quarto format, light blue pastel paper over boards, blocked gilt title lettering thereat, rubbed, scuffed and a bit soiled, oatmeal-colored Japan vellum-backed, with chipping at spine head, cracking to spine bottom front joint. Printed for J.F. Taylor & Co. at The Westminster Press, on Ruisdael hand-made paper. The Wikipedia entry about Thomas Deloney notes that he (born in the middle 16th century, died near 1600) "was an English novelist and balladist. He appears to have worked as a silk-weaver in Norwich, but was in London by 1586, and in the course of the next ten years is known to have written about fifty ballads, some of which got him into trouble, and caused him to keep a low profile for a time." His major work, a novel, Thomas of Reading, pays due homage to clothiers. Thomas of Reading or the Sixe Worthie Yeomen of the West was originally published before 1600 and first recorded in Stationers' Register on 19 April 1602, says the Wikipedia entry; it survives only in 17th-century editions. There some quite arresting black-and-white engravings including at frontis, a skirted man carrying fruits in a basket, publisher device at title page, and then The Lamentation of Mr. Pages Wife," at Introduction, with notes at end. The story of Thomas of Reading is quite bizarre. xvi [2], 2-231 pp. all in.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Good

Stowe's biography of him says that Gordon Hall (1784-1826), Pioneer Missionary in India, was born in Tolland, Massachusetts, and graduated with highest honors from Williams College in 1808. "Entering Andover Theological Seminary in 1810, he joined the group of students whose enthusiasm for missionary service led to the formation of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions" that same year (A.B.C.F.M.). Hall, Adoniram Judson, Samuel Newell, Samuel Nott, and Luther Rice "sailed from Philadelphia on February 18, reaching Calcutta on August 8" but were refused entry by the authorities of the British East India Company, ended up in Bombay and thus began the first American missionary station overseas. He mastered a local language, married, evangelized, and then provided medical services. After two of their children died, his wife and remaining two sons returned to America in 1825; he then died the following year of cholera (Stowe).Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
