a more readable version of Blind Harry
This is a work of tales of William Wallace, freely adapted from the poem of Blind Harry by Tom Scott, with illustrations by James Hutcheson.A very readable, quickie version of Harry's epic.

For those wishing Harry's version, but not caring to wade through the poem and some of its language.

Very good for young students. ... Read more

EndymionDESPITE the fact that no name is attached to the Wallace in the unique copy made by the scribe John Ramsay in 1488, or apparently in the earliest editions, we have strong evidence that it passed current from the start as Blind Harry's work. Dunbar, as is well known, mentions Blind Harry among the " makaris " who were dead before he wrote his famous Lament, in 1507, and no one doubts that this poet is identical with the writer of the same name to whom, as we have seen, Major,f in 1521, attributes a " whole book " about Wallace, " written with great skill in vernacular rhymes " during the historian's lifetime; or that he was the author of the " Blind Harry's Book " to which Bellenden in his paraphrase of Hector Boece's history (1536),J and William Stewart in his metrical Book of the Chronicles of Scotland (1531- 35) § refer as one where the " fashion " of Wallace's youthful deeds was " all declared at great length."While, then, there is no absolute proof that the poet Blind Harry, Dunbar's predecessor, wrote the Wallace, the evidence in favor of its ascription to him, made unhesitatingly by the faithful Major within forty years of the composition of the work, and perpetuated without controversy for almost four hundred years, is sufficiently clear to convince all but the most skeptical, and we may proceed confidently on the assumption that it is correct. The present study will offer new confirmation of the orthodox view, explaining why the name of the poet, far from needing to raise difficulties, was a natural and appropriate one for him to bear. First, however, we must cut at the roots the prevalent conception (based solely, it would seem, e... ... Read more

Product Description
The death of the last of the Scottish royal house of Canmore in 1290 triggered a succession crisis. Attempts to undermine Scottish independence by King Edward I of England sparked open rebellion culminating in an English defeat at the hands of William Wallace at Stirling Bridge in 1297. Edward gathered an army, marched north and at Falkirk on 22 July 1298 he brought Wallace's army to battle. Amid accusations of treachery, Wallace's spearmen were slaughtered by Edward's longbowmen, then charged by the English cavalry and almost annihilated. In 1305 Wallace was captured and executed, but the flame of rebellion he had ignited could not be extinguished. In this book, David Nicolle reveals the true story behind the 'Braveheart' myth. ...

My husband gave much thought and attention to the decoration of the interior of the Church, and it was a great delight to him to take people round and give them the history of each feature.Some of those who attended the services in the very early days of the Mission in the schoolroom of St. Paul's, Bow Common, gave the Font. This was modelled on that in Winchester Cathedral, square in form, the interior being semi-spherical, and quite large enough for an infant's immersion. The work was carried out by Mr. Earp, and on the step is a brass containing the inscription -- " To the Glory of God Given by Worshippers in St. Luke's Mission, 1865-1869."The brass ewer was given by Miss Payne, the caretaker of the Schools, in memory of her parents; all were faithful worshippers in St. Luke's Church, and mother and daughter devoted their lives to the interest of the schools.Closely connected with the Font are the two oil paintings on the West Wall by Arthur G. Walker, the first representing our Lord calling little children for His gracious Hand, and the second, the Blessed Virgin's Presentation of our Lord and of herself in the Temple. The latter was exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1897. Both pictures were the gift of the late Mr. SpencerCharrington, M. P., and they are associated with the great use made of this Church by the Mothers of East London for their own Churching and their Infants' Baptism.The pillars of the Nave are massive and solid, and each of the capital... ...
