Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Beaminster A word of thanks is due to Mr. A. M. Broadley for his kindness in contributing an article on the Worthiness of Beaminster, to Mr. J. Lane Kitson for his keen interest in supplying much local information, and for his exhaustive chapter on Manors and Copyholds and Inclosure' of Commons. Also to many others, too numerous to name, for without their courteous assistance this History of Beaminster could never have been written. Much remains yet to be recorded, and it may be that at some not far distant day an abler pen will produce a work on this old world Dorset town more worthy of acceptance than the present volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Genealogy of the Pomeroy Family, Collateral Lines in Family Groups, Normandy, Great Britain and America, Vol. 1: Comprising the Ancestors and Descendants of Eltweed Pomeroy From Beaminster, County Dorset, England, 1630 In this connection, I desire to ask attention to the original method introduced in this volume of carrying through the book the collateral lines by presenting the descendants of Pomeroy mothers in family groups. This system not only enables the student to comprehend the collateral lines of each family which has been so treated. At a glance, but avoids the confusion incident to the projection of names other than Pomerov throughout the book in the several generations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Genealogy of the Pomeroy Family, Vol. 3: Collateral Lines in Family Groups, Normandy, Great Britain and America; Comprising the Ancestors and Descendants of Eltweed Pomeroy From Beaminster County Dorset, England, 1631 The cottages of La Pommeraye are also ancient, and simple are the lives of the very few villagers. There is no visible evidence that there anciently ever were more cottages and inhabitants here than now; in all probability there were less. It is highly probable that when Ralph de La Pommeraye left there for England he took most of the cottagers with him, for they were his servants. A few hundred yards past the church is a modern dweiling formerly owned by a Madame Vauxville. It is a good country house with a well-kept garden; stables and kennels are on the opposite Side of the highway. At this point of the road we are in a hollow, with little or no view. A quarter of a mile further on, up a steep, hill one comes to a path leading into a wood on the right; and following this path for a few hundred yards, along the high ridge of the hill, we reach all that is left of the castle of La Pommeraye.

Book Synopsis The Day of the Triffids by : John Wyndham

Download or read book The Day of the Triffids written by John Wyndham. This book was released on 2010-07-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic postapocalyptic thriller with “all the reality of a vividly realized nightmare” (The Times, London). Triffids are odd, interesting little plants that grow in everyone’s garden. Triffids are no more than mere curiosities—until an event occurs that alters human life forever. What seems to be a spectacular meteor shower turns into a bizarre, green inferno that blinds everyone and renders humankind helpless. What follows is even stranger: spores from the inferno cause the triffids to suddenly take on a life of their own. They become large, crawling vegetation, with the ability to uproot and roam about the country, attacking humans and inflicting pain and agony. William Masen somehow managed to escape being blinded in the inferno, and now after leaving the hospital, he is one of the few survivors who can see. And he may be the only one who can save his species from chaos and eventual extinction . . . With more than a million copies sold, The Day of the Triffids is a landmark of speculative fiction, and “an outstanding and entertaining novel” (Library Journal). “A thoroughly English apocalypse, it rivals H. G. Wells in conveying how the everyday invaded by the alien would feel. No wonder Stephen King admires Wyndham so much.” —Ramsey Campbell, author of The Overnight “One of my all-time favorite novels. It’s absolutely convincing, full of little telling details, and that sweet, warm sensation of horror and mystery.” —Joe R. Lansdale, author of Edge of Dark Water
