Abraham Lincoln, Miss Ann Rutledge, New Salem, pioneering, and the poem, a lecture delivered in the old Sangamon county court house, November 1866

Abraham Lincoln, Miss Ann Rutledge, New Salem, pioneering, and the poem, a lecture delivered in the old Sangamon county court house, November 1866 Review


This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Frederick County Chronicles: The Crossroads of Maryland (American Chronicles) (American Chronicles (History Press))

Frederick County Chronicles: The Crossroads of Maryland (American Chronicles) (American Chronicles (History Press)) Review


The rails and covered bridges of Frederick County are framed by the waters of the Potomac River to the south and the Mason-Dixon line to the north. The county rests at a crossroads of Maryland cultures and history, and journalist Marie Anne Erickson sought out the oldest members of this diverse community to record their colorful stories. Twenty years after the articles appeared as the "Crossroads" series for Frederick Magazine, Ingrid Price has compiled her mother s fascinating essays for the first time. Stories of Civil War battles and Prohibition-era raids share the pages with memories of sledding by moonlight and the hunt for the mythical Snallygaster in Erickson s spirited history. From Brunswick to Mount Airy and from Emmitsburg to Point of Rocks, discover an affectionate and occasionally offbeat portrait of Frederick County.

Reports of Cases in the Probate Court of the City and County of San Francisco, from January 1, 1872, to December 31, 1879 (Classic Reprint)

Reports of Cases in the Probate Court of the City and County of San Francisco, from January 1, 1872, to December 31, 1879 (Classic Reprint) Review


By the Gonstitation of this State as originallj adopted, the Oounty Judge in each county of the State was authorized to perform the duties of Surrogate, or Probate Judge. Under that provision of the Constitution, the Legislature from time to time enacted laws prescribing the duties of the Probate Judge and determining the powers of the Court; and the County Judges of the various counties have held Probate Courts and performed duties as Probate Judges. The same general system prevailed, with the single exception of the City and and County of San Francisco, until December 31, 1879, on which day the old Constitution, with its amendments, was superseded by the new Constitution, and all the business of the former Courts passed to the Courts constituted by that instrument. The Probate Court of the City and County of San Francisco, as a distinctive tribunal, and with a Judge of its own, came into existence by virtue of the constitutional amendments proposed in 1861, ratified September 3, 1862 (A rt. YI, Sec. 1, old Constitution), and the A ct of the Legislature approved A pril 20, 1863 (S tat, of Cal., 1863, p. 338, et 8eq,), the County Judge thereupon losing jurisdiction of probate proceedings. The first Probate Judge elected was the Hon. Maurice C. Blake (afterwards the Judge of the Municipal Criminal Court). Judge Blake presided over the Probate Court for the first term (four years), from January 1, 1864, to December 31, 1868. He was succeeded by the Hon. Selden S. Wright, who held the office for the term of from January 1, 1868, to December 31, 1871. Judge Wright subsequently held the office of Coimty Judge for four years, ending December 31, 1879.

Small Claims in the County Courts in England and Wales: The Bargain Basement of Civil Justice? (Oxford Socio-Legal Studies)

Small Claims in the County Courts in England and Wales: The Bargain Basement of Civil Justice? (Oxford Socio-Legal Studies) Review


The small claims procedure is now seen as a convenient way to tackle the current crisis in civil justice, and with a massive increase in the small claims limit from £1,000 to £3,000, small claims is big judicial business. This book is based on the most extensive research on small claims procedures ever conducted in the United Kingdom. The author had privileged access to the district judges who conduct claim hearings, and the book is the first to include lengthy extracts from tape recorded interviews conducted with them. It also includes discussion of interviews with litigants, including many who struggled to gain payment of court judgements. Read more...

The Amish Midwife (The Women of Lancaster County)

The Amish Midwife (The Women of Lancaster County) Review


A dusty carved box containing two locks of hair and a century-old letter regarding property in Switzerland, and a burning desire to learn about her biological family lead nurse-midwife Lexie Jaeger from her home in Oregon to the heart of Pennsylvania Amish country. There she meets Marta Bayer, a mysterious lay-midwife who desperately needs help after an Amish client and her baby die.

Lexie steps in to assume Marta’s patient load even as she continues the search for her birth family, and from her patients she learns the true meaning of the Pennsylvania Dutch word demut, which means “to let be” as she changes from a woman who wants to control everything to a woman who depends on God.

A compelling story about a search for identity and the ability to trust that God securely holds our whole life—past, present, and future.
