A Collection of Essays on the Colonial Economy of N.S.W.

By: Gordon Beckett

This series explains the many important aspects of the colonial Economy of N.S.W. between 1788 and 1835. This present volume sets down over 14 essays on aspects of the colonial economy, ranging from a short review of the Van Diemen's Land Company - the second land grant coy in Australia - the AAC being the first, to a study of the writings of Professor Noel Butlin and the factors of economic growth in those important first 30 years of the colony and settlement in NSW. Some notable essays include an understanding of the Macquarie years that set a standard for economic development that became hard to follow. The many statutes enacted by Westminster Parliament in establishing the colony are examined as is the rise of the pastoralist and squatter in the colony. These entire special features of the economy helped set up the economic drivers that created such a successful economy.

Enter the King

Theatre, Liturgy, and Ritual in the Medieval Civic Triumph

By: Gordon Kipling

This study describes for the first time the ritual purposes, symbolic vocabulary, and quasi-dramatic form of one late medieval courtly festival, the royal entry. Although the royal entry as a formal ceremony can be traced back as an unbroken tradition from late Classical times through to the Renaissance, Kipling begins where the royal entry adopts pageantry as its essential medium in the late fourteenth century.

The Origins of Canadian Politics

A Comparative Approach

By: Gordon T. Stewart

The conditions of colonial politics in Canada between 1760 and 1848 produced features that became permanent landmarks of post-Confederation Canadian politics -- sharp partisan battles, intense use of patronage, strong one-man dominance in party leadership, and a 'statist' orientation not only in government in Ottawa but also in Ontario and Quebec. In this compelling book Gordon Stewart deals with these topics in an original way by placing Canadian politics in a comparative context against the background of political and constitutional developments in England and America between 1688 and the 1820's.

It's All A Question Of Perspective

By: John Gordon Smith

Set primarily against a background of Canada’s West Coast, the twenty seven stories collected in It’s All a Question of Perspective capture the emotions and decisions of everyday people confronted by everyday circumstances, and how they are changed by them. Some reflect the long shadows of past events resulting from their own actions, while others deal with circumstances beyond their control, sometimes caused by seemingly random twists of fate. Telling of love and loss, trust and betrayal, self-sacrifice and abuse, the stories challenge conflicting perspectives, test relationships in marriages, families and friendships, and delve into the experiences of loss of loved ones. This book will be read and enjoyed by anyone intrigued by the surprising and sometimes shocking twists and turns the journey human nature take us on. “The Pistol”, one of the stories in this collection, was published in The Advocate, Vol. 67, Part 3, May 2009, published by the Vancouver Bar Association.

British and Irish Paintings in Public Collections

An Index of British and Irish Oil Paintings by Artists Born Before 1870 in Public and Institutional Collections in the United Kingdom and Ireland

By: Christopher Wright,Catherine May Gordon

This book sets a new standard as a work of reference. It covers British and Irish art in public collections from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth, and it encompasses nearly 9,000 painters and 90,000 paintings in more than 1,700 separate collections. The book includes as well pictures that are now lost, some as a consequence of the Second World War and others because of de-accessioning, mostly from 1950 to about 1975 when Victorian art was out of fashion. By listing many tens of thousands of previously unpublished works, including around 13,000 which do not yet have any form of attribution, this book becomes a unique and indispensable work of reference, one that will transform the study of British and Irish painting.
