    Breviate of the Life of Margaret Baxter-Richard Baxter

    ARCHIVE HAS TAKEN THIS DOWN BECAUSE SOMEONE COMPLAINED _ PLEASE DO NOT RE INSTATE UNLESS YOU KNOW THERE ARE FILES TO DOWN LOAD What is this strange land called England; so small in size yet so powerful in influence? What makes her so unique, talented and persistent? This book attempts to answer that. It is a short, well written explanation of England as a unique country written by someone who loved it deeply and yet, as an Australian, could be a bit impartial. In the first part he explains the 'making' of England; the Britons and the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons and the Normands. But from there he attempts to give an essence or flavor, delving into the work, the play, the schools, the churches and especially the landscape which make it special. "I have sought in this book to give an impression of some of the most "English" features of the land, devoting a little space first to an attempt to explain the origins of the English people. Thus the English fields and flowers and trees, the English homes and schools are given far more attention than English cities, English manufactures; for they are more peculiar to the land and the people. More markedly than in any superiority of her material greatness England stands apart from the rest of the world as the land of green trees and meadows, the land of noble schools and of sweet homes" from the preface (Summary by Phil Chenevert) This episode includes AI-generated content.
