Memorials Journal and Botanical Correspondence of Charles Cardale Babington
Collated by his widow and published in 1897, this collection of memorials, journal extracts and letters of Charles Cardale Babington (1808–95) demonstrates the esteem in which he was held by so many. An influential professor of botany at Cambridge, Babington left to the university a legacy that included the huge herbarium that he had partly funded himself, as well as some 1,600 volumes from his own library. His benevolence and generosity of knowledge, time and money endeared him to many departments and societies, while his works on local flora inspired others to produce many of the county floras that are still used today. His Manual of British Botany (also reissued in this series) first appeared in 1843 and made a huge impact on the study of the subject. These collected writings and tributes will offer students and scholars valuable insight into the breadth of his scientific interests and achievements.

Passages of a Working Life during Half a Century
Charles Knight (1791–1873), the son of a Windsor bookseller, was apprenticed to his father at fourteen. He read widely and systematically, and began to buy, collect and sell rare books. He also worked as a journalist, and, on moving to London, set up as a publisher, then took to freelance writing, and acted as manager of the publications of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. In 1832, he launched the Penny Magazine, offering the working classes useful information, within a moral context of thrift and self-discipline. Knight continued to write - on Shakespeare, on Caxton, on English history - while at the same time being at the centre of the British publishing industry. His 1864–5 three-volume autobiography (reissued here in its posthumous 1873 edition) provides insights into the economics as well as the personalities of the mid-Victorian publishing world. Volume 1 covers Knight's life up to 1826.

Life of Mr. Thomas Betterton
Originally compiled and published in 1970, this volume contains the full text of The Life of Mr. Thomas Betterton, written in 1710. For Charles Gildon, the text is little more than a skeleton upon which, as a dramatic critic, he might drape a full consideration of ‘the action and utterance of the stage,’ and so, the technique of acting and theatrical oratory.

CONQUEST TO CHARTER– The Resilience of England
1066 is one of the most famous dates in English history, with the Norman Conquest highlighted in the Bayeux Tapestry (due in England for the first time in 2026). But how much do we really know about what is a far more complex story? This book represents a fresh approach to such issues as:● How Athelstan’s England slipped into the disasters of Aethelred and the Danish Conquest of 1016.● How England and Normandy were linked long before and after Hastings. ● How Edward the Confessor contributed to the Norman Conquest, and what defeat really meant to the English.● How the Norman inheritance led to Anarchy before Henry II expanded his territory through to the south of France.● How Henry’s legacy was comprehensively lost by his sons, with England given to the pope and nearly taken over by the French.● How, out of all this adversity, Magna Carta and an effective parliament emerged, proving England and its people remarkably resilient.
