The Registers of Merstham, Surrey, 1538-1812. E-book. Formato PDF Reginald Illingworth Woodhouse - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
The name Merstham has been variously spelt. The topographer Salmon, writing in 1736, calls it Mestham, but he adds that it was anciently spelt with an r as now. Mr. Thomas Fisher, churchwarden for eighteen years, has letters addressed to him with the name spelt in thirty-nine different ways.In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries we find it written Meyrstan, Merystham, and Marstham, but in Domesday Book it is Merstan. Many of the ancient inhabitants call it Mestam to this day, and do not sound the "th". Spelling, however, being formerly phonetic, we must turn our attention rather to the sound than to the letters. The derivation is probably from the word "Mére", defined as a marsh land or boggy swine-walk; and "stan," a stone, or house of stone. The situation and the fact of the lord's rent being paid in hogs, affords a considerable presumption in favour of this view, in preference to another possible derivation, viz., from the word "Moer," a boundary.As appears by Domesday Book, it was held by the Archbishop "de vestitu monachorum," presumed to mean for the clothing of the monks of Canterbury. There was a church and a mill and eight acres of pasture, and the lord's rent was twenty-five fat hogs and sixteen lean ones. The living is still in the gift of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and was one of his peculiars.We gather something of the nature of the country in the time of Edward I. from the fact of his having in the year 1383 granted the right of free-warren of his lands at Merstham and various places in Kent and Sussex to one Edmund de Passeleye, but reserving the King's own rights within the Forest.
The Life of John Morton: Archbishop of Canterbury. E-book. Formato PDF Reginald Illingworth Woodhouse - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
The subject of this memoir is the principal Vlctm'l of this hard and unmerited sentence of oblivion.' He made the Tudor Dynasty, and his name is buried under his own creation. Sir Thomas More is said to be the first writer of modern English, but it was Cardinal Morton who both superintended his education, sent him to college, and afterwards employed him in his service, and whose remarkable narratives and conversations are supposed to be the Arch bishop's own words.
Dieu ferma les yeux pour ne pas rougirAventure coquine d'une femme marier. E-book. Formato EPUB Wood Reginald - Reginald Wood, 2022 -
Il n'y a rien de plus divin, sur la terre comme au ciel, que les divinités féminines. C'est la quintessence. Croyez-moi sur parole : je le jure sur la Bible. J'en suis convaincu pour toujours et à jamais. J'ajouterais également que les voies de Dieu sont pénétrables dans certains lieux que l'on baptise le 7e ciel, le paradis le nirvana ou l'au-delà, selon en quoi l'on croit. Moi, j'affirme qu'il n'y a absolument rien d'impossible et que tout est possible. Si jamais l'agréable impossible arrive, on ne se demande pas pourquoi, mais un peu comment…..
