10797 Wolf3 Gerhard Wolf-Heidegger Atlas of systematic human anatomy: Systema nervosum-systema vasorum (angiologia) Published by Karger Basel München Paris London New York Sydney 1972. (ALBUM)
One of our earliest books. I found this book in an unsecured vestibule area on the 2nd floor of the Barracks, just laying out where anyone could have walked off with it.
I will need outside help evaluating and cataloging this book, because there is no title page, there is writing in the margins throughout, and there is an illustration on what remains of the inner front board.
Broadside published ca. 1720, with a very black tale of Richard III's role in the disappearance of the princes in the tower. Go full size to read the whole thing, but committed Ricardians watch out, you won't like what you read!
It's in the Halliwell-Phillipps collection of broadsides at Chetham's Library www.chethams.org.uk/. A bit more about this on our blog at bit.ly/1EXoM7L

In 1996, he was made an Honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of Bradford. And in February 1999, he was awarded an MBE by the Queen for his services to local history, at a ceremony held at Buckingham Palace. In 2009 he had a Northern Rail 158 diesel train named after him. In 2018, the Dalesman awarded him the W. R. Mitchell Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his prolific work as a local historian and public speaker.
He spent almost his whole life in Keighley, living in his parents’ former home on Raglan Avenue, off Fell Lane. He served on the Council of the Yorkshire Dialect Society and spent time as secretary of the Friends of Cliffe Castle Museum and Art Gallery. He died on 20th January 2019 and his funeral service was held at Trinity Church, Fell Lane, on 15th February, followed by a private cremation.

The Bell family has been notoriously silent with respect to the alleged haunting. Aside from *Our Family Troubles* allegedly written by Richard William's Bell in 1846, no other Bell family member has written a published account. That all changed in 1934 when Dr. Charles Bailey Bell wrote and published *The Bell Witch A Mysterious Spirit.* Dr. Bell was a neurologist in Nashville and was the Great Grandson of John Bell through John Bell Jr.'s line of descent. It is precisely because Charles Bailey Bell was a direct descendent that many esteem this book over Ingram's Authenticated History. The thinking being that a Bell family member is privy to all the family secrets regarding the legend. The background goes something like this:
The entity remained until the early months of 1821 - shortly after the funeral of John Bell whom she allegedly murdered. She promised Lucy Bell that she would return in seven years.
According to the legend she did return as promised in 1828 and stayed a short while before leaving again promising to return in 107 years which would place her return in the year 1935.
The appeal to many about this book is the "revelation" of what transpired in 1828. It is alleged that the entity had conferences with John Bell Jr. during that time and spoke to him many things including predictions of future events.
As John Bell Jr. approached the end of his life (he died in 1862) he revealed all to his son, Dr. Joel Thomas Bell, who listened and took notes. Joel Thomas Bell later imparted all this information to his son, Dr. Charles Bailey Bell. The notes allegedly taken by Dr. Joel Thomas Bell have never been located or revealed.
Charles Bailey Bell mentions how private a matter it is within the Bell family and that they have traditionally been silent upon the matter and he encourages the future generations to retain that silence unless circumstances attend where the time is right to reveal more. Due to transpiring events in the world during the 1930's, Charles Bailey Bell decided the time was right to reveal more and he published A Mysterious Spirit - just one year prior to when the entity said it would return again.
Needless to say, the book reinvigorated the legend and interest was at a peak. If the entity returned in 1935 then the family has been silent on the matter.
Charles Bailey Bell died in 1945 having not spoken another word on the matter. He along with his father, Joel Thomas Bell (who died in 1910), were reinterred in the Bellwood Cemetery in Adams which was built by Charles Leslie Covington in 1957.

Venerdì 16 settembre, parte dall’Arena di Verona con “10 + 1 straordinari show” il “Black Cat World Tour 2016” di Zucchero Sugar Fornaciari.
Negli 11 e unici suoi concerti in Italia del 2016, Zucchero presenta live in anteprima mondiale il suo ultimo progetto discografico, “Black Cat”, oltre ai suoi più grandi successi, portando in scena uno spettacolo ricco di intense e vibranti emozioni.
Con Zucchero sul palco una super band internazionale composta da 13 elementi: Polo Jones (Musical director, bass), Kat Dyson (guitars, dobro, mandolin, bvs), Brian Auger (hammond organ C3), Doug Pettibone (Pedal Steel Guitar, dobro, lap steel, banjo, guitar), Queen Cora Dunham (drums), Nicola Peruch (keyboards), Adriano Molinari (drums), Mario Schilirò (guitars), Andrea Whitt (violin, mandolin, pedal steel guitar), Tonya Boyd Cannon (backing vocals), James Thompson (sax tenor, sax baritone, flute, harmonica), Lazaro Amauri Oviedo Dilout (trumpet, flugelhorn, french horn) e Carlos Minoso (trombone, tuba)
Il disco “Black Cat” è prodotto da tre grandi nomi del panorama internazionale, T Bone Burnett (Elvis Costello, Elton John, Tony Bennett e altri), Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan e altri) e Don Was (The Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan e altri), e si compone di 13 brani dalle nervature rock-blues. L’album annovera, anche, la collaborazione artistica di Bono, che in seguito alla tragedia avvenuta al Bataclan di Parigi ha scritto con Zucchero il brano “Streets Of Surrender (S.O.S.)”, la partecipazione alle chitarre di Mark Knopfler, che suona sia nel brano “Streets Of Surrender (S.O.S.)” sia nel brano “Ci si arrende” e il contributo artistico di Elvis Costello che ha scritto la versione inglese del brano "Love Again", dal titolo "Turn the world down" (canzone presente solo nelle versioni estere di “Black Cat”).
Tra i maggiori interpreti del blues in Italia, Zucchero (all’anagrafe Adelmo Fornaciari) nella sua carriera ha venduto oltre 60 milioni di dischi, di cui 8 milioni con l’album “Oro, incenso & birra”. Oltre ad essere il primo artista occidentale a essersi esibito al Cremlino dopo la caduta del muro di Berlino, Zucchero è anche l’unico artista italiano ad aver partecipato al Festival di Woodstock nel 1994, al Freddie Mercury Tribute nel 1992 e a tutti gli eventi del 46664 per Nelson Mandela. È inoltre l’unico artista italiano nominato ai Grammy con Billy Preston ed Eric Clapton come best "R&B Traditional Vocal Collaboration”. Il suo concerto nel dicembre 2012 all'Istituto Superiore di Arte di L'Avana è ritenuto il più grande live mai tenuto da un cantante straniero a Cuba sotto embargo. La sua musica si è estesa oltre i confini nazionali grazie anche alle numerose collaborazioni con artisti internazionali del calibro di Bryan Adams, The Blues Brothers, Bono, Jeff Beck, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Elvis Costello, Miles Davis, Peter Gabriel, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Mark Knopfler, Brian May, Luciano Pavarotti, Iggy Pop, Alejandro Sanz, Sting e molti altri.

A national civil rights group says it has not backed down from its vow to "shut Gwinnett County down."
On Friday, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which has been critical about the handling of a Taser-related death, is scheduled to formally announce plans for a protest march.
At a morning news conference, SCLC leaders will announce the date of the protest march and economic boycott they promised after a June meeting with District Attorney Danny Porter. After the heated two-hour meeting, SCLC President Charles Steele said he would organize a protest that would shut the county down.
The SCLC is one of two civil rights organizations that had urged Porter to pursue criminal charges against the Gwinnett sheriff's deputies involved in the May 2004 death of Frederick Williams. The Lawrenceville man died after he was repeatedly shocked with a Taser stun gun as deputies at the Gwinnett jail worked to restrain him.
"It is inconceivable how a district attorney can fail to bring charges in a case where it is clear that excessive force was used and that this excessive force led to the death of an individual," Steele said in an e-mailed statement. "A grand jury should decide whether there is probable cause to prosecute these officers, rather than relying upon the sole judgment of one man.
"In light of this, SCLC is calling for a nonviolent protest in the form of a national march to take place in Gwinnett County," Steele continued.
The SCLC and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said they were concerned with how Porter presented the case to a grand jury in April and had urged the district attorney to reopen the investigation.
Porter presented the investigation to a grand jury but did not show jurors a videotape of a deputy stunning Williams — who was handcuffed and manacled — with the Taser. Porter has said he offered to show jurors the tape, but they declined.
The grand jury was not asked to consider criminal charges against any specific deputies. Instead, the jurors were asked to use the Williams' case to consider whether to investigate the county's policies on Taser use.
Porter has said he considers the case closed. He said he did not see any evidence that deputies "intended to kill or criminally assault" Williams.
"I am not going to respond to a press release written by an organization that did not even bother to look at the file," Porter said in an an interview Tuesday.
He was referring to the file of the extensive 11-month investigation into Williams' death that includes interviews of all the deputies involved and the videotape of the jail altercation.
The SCLC will also announce Friday that it plans to meet with executives at Taser International, the Arizona-based stun gun manufacturer, Steele said. The organization has a meeting with Taser International CEO Tom Smith scheduled for Aug. 30, Steele said.
"We are receiving reports from all across the country concerning people dying at the hands of officers [using] Taser guns," said Steele. "Immediate action must be taken to address the rising tide of deaths associated with Taser guns, and SCLC feels that we must start at the root of the problem — with the manufacturer, Taser International."

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by E.T.W. Dennis & Sons Ltd. of London and Scarborough. The card was posted in Fort William using a 2d. stamp on Monday the 29th. September 1952. It was sent to:
Alfred Day Esq. OBE, JP,
St. Aubyn's,
Sutton Valence,
Nr. Maidstone,
Kent.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Here is a part of our
road on our journey
to Fort William.
Have stopped today
at Fort Augustus on
our way to look at
Loch Ness, then back
to Fort William.
Food & Scotland
excellent.
Bob & Win Cooke."
Alfred Day
Alfred Day OBE (Esquire, JP) was a prominent 20th.-century figure in Kent, best remembered for his agricultural contributions, horseracing legacy, and civic philanthropy.
Alfred Day was a respected horse trainer who famously created and hosted the first race days at the iconic figure-of-eight Fontwell Park Racecourse in West Sussex in May 1924.
Alfred was highly influential in regional agriculture, and served as a Justice of the Peace (JP).
He gifted a significant tract of land to the village of Headcorn, which is known today as "Day's Green". The gift and his legacy are commemorated on the Headcorn Village Sign located at the junction of High Street and Kings Road.
Headcorn is 3½ miles from Sutton Valence.
Glen Coe
Glen Coe is a glen of glacial origins that cuts though volcanic rocks in the Highlands of Scotland. It lies in the north of the county of Argyll, close to the border with the historic province of Lochaber.
Glen Coe is regarded as the home of Scottish mountaineering, and is popular with hillwalkers and climbers.
A 2010 review by Scottish Natural Heritage into the special qualities of Scotland's National scenic areas listed the "soaring, dramatic splendour of Glen Coe", and "the suddenness of the transition between high mountain pass and the lightly wooded strath" as being of note.
The review also described the journey through the glen on the main A82 road as "one of the classic Highland journeys".
The main settlement is the village of Glencoe located at the foot of the glen.
The Glen is named after the River Coe which runs through it. The name of the river may predate the Gaelic language, as its meaning is not known.
-- The Massacre of Glencoe
On the 13th. February 1692, in the aftermath of the Jacobite uprising of 1689, an incident known as the Massacre of Glencoe took place in the glen.
Thirty-eight men from Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed by government forces who were billeted with them on the grounds that they had not been prompt in pledging allegiance to the new monarchs, William and Mary.
The Sinking of the Crusader
So what else happened on the day that Bob and Win posted the card?
Well, the 29th. September 1952 marked the sinking of the Crusader, a jet-powered speedboat piloted on Loch Ness by John Cobb in an attempt to set a new world water speed record.
The Crusader cost £15,000 to build in 1949. It was silver and scarlet in colour and 10 m long. The engine was a de Havilland Ghost Mk 48 centrifugal turbojet provided as a loan by the Ministry of Supply at the request of Major Frank Halford, the engine designer. The engine was rated at 5,000 lb thrust fed by two scoop inlets forward of the cockpit
The hull was of trimaran form, a main hull with a planing step, and two smaller rear-mounted outriggers. Construction was of birch plywood frames and stringers. The hull was skinned in birch ply covered in doped fabric with metal skin reinforcement for planing surfaces. Aircraft-style riveted aluminium was used for the box-section cantilevers to the outriggers.
During the record attempt, Crusader struck a wave at an estimated speed of 210 miles per hour (340 km/h) and disintegrated, killing Cobb, whose body was thrown 50 yards (46 m).
Cobb successfully hit a peak of 206.89 mph (breaking the water speed record, although it never became official). However as the boat slowed down, it struck unexplained waves (or a "rogue ripple").
This caused the front of the hydroplane to violently bounce, plunge into the water, and somersault. At speeds exceeding 200 mph, the water acted like a wall. The violent oscillation and sudden pressure caused the lightweight wooden hull to disintegrate, throwing Cobb from the cockpit.
Cobb’s support team swiftly recovered him from the water, but he tragically died of shock and trauma. The wreckage of the Crusader sank to the bottom of the loch.
The boat′s wreckage was discovered on the 5th. July 2002 on the bottom of Loch Ness at a depth of 200 metres (656 ft). The site was designated as a scheduled monument in 2005.
More on the Crusader below.
Helen Elizabeth Morgan
The 29th. September 1952 also marked the birth of Helen Elizabeth Morgan. Helen is a British actress, model, TV hostess, and beauty pageant contestant who won the 1974 Miss Wales, Miss United Kingdom and Miss World pageants.
Morgan became the first winner to resign, and the second (after Marjorie Wallace) to not complete her one-year reign as Miss World.
-- Helen Elizabeth Morgan - The Early Years
Born in Walsall, Staffordshire, England Helen worked in a bank. Entering modelling competitions on a part-time basis, she won the Miss Wales (representing Barry in the competition for that title) and Miss United Kingdom titles in 1974.
-- Miss Universe 1974
Morgan represented Wales in the Miss Universe 1974 pageant, where she finished as first runner up.
-- Miss World 1974 and Controversy
Winning Miss United Kingdom earned Morgan the right to represent the United Kingdom in Miss World. She had originally been reluctant to enter the Miss Wales competition, and was eventually paid £30 as a last-minute stand-in when another competitor dropped out.
Morgan became the second Welsh woman and the fourth UK representative to win the competition in 1974.
However, Helen was forced to resign only four days after winning the pageant, when the media created extremely negative and lurid headlines stating that she was an unwed mother with an 18-month-old son.
This had never been hidden from the time she was crowned Miss Wales, but the lurid headlines in the hours immediately following her win at Miss World, particularly interviews given by the wife of the child's father, created extreme pressure on Morgan and the Miss World organization.
Although this did not violate any of the competition rules (which stipulated only that entrants must be unmarried), pressure was placed on her by the Miss World Organisation to resign in order to save them from further potential embarrassment.
The first runner-up, Anneline Kriel of South Africa, succeeded her. Morgan became the first winner to resign, and the second Miss World titleholder not to finish her reign.
The first case was that of Miss World 1973, Marjorie Wallace, who, according to pageant officials, was stripped of the crown for "failing to fulfill the basic requirements of the job" a few months into her reign.
-- After Miss World
Threatened with being a named party in a divorce – an action which was later dropped – Morgan was allowed to keep her other titles. She resigned from the bank, and undertook a career in modelling, TV and films.
Morgan married and moved to Surrey in the 1980's, and had two more children, Poppy and Ben. She later left the UK, and now lives in Spain with her husband Ronny Lamb and family.
In 2004, Morgan agreed to judge the 2004 Miss Wales competition in Swansea, the 30th. anniversary of her competition win.

Big Bang Comics; Hermes Versus The Eyeball Kid
By Michael Vance
“Now, for the first time ever, the greatest heroes of all times must unite to defeat the evil mastermind who threatens the very existence of two worlds” in Big Bang Comics’ “The Criss-Cross Crisis”.
Well, maybe not for the first time, since The Knights of Justice, The Round Table of America, and the Whiz Kids (all super teams) are a wonderful homage to DC Comics heroes from the 1950s and earlier.
Inside this pastiche are two parallel Earths. A portal between both has been opened, and collision threatens. Heroes who believe in truth, justice and the American Way must seal the portal.
In the 1950s, characterization meant a name, costume, and powers. Plot was king. Art was straightforward and uncluttered, lacking the visual dynamics of today. Adventure was everywhere, and comic books were fun.
Then came “Big Bang Comics: Untitled”. In the real world, the change of artistic styles from the 1950s to the 1990s was slow. This stylistic change between issue three and four of “Big Bang” is startling.
Here, The Round Table of America is decommissioned, their headquarters converted into a museum. A super-villain held in stasis there escapes, vowing revenge. The rest of this issue is clenched fists, power bursts, and broken teeth.
Characterization is still two dimensional, plot is almost nonexistent, and the art is cluttered, confusing, and full of visual pyrotechnics. The fist is king, and comic books are ‘realistic’, grim, and gritty.
If different is better, then these adventures of The Round Table must be fantastic, right?!
They are just different.
These old and new stylistic issues are recommended for their respective old and new audiences.
“Big Band Comics” #s 3 & 4/32 pages and 24 pages, $1.95 each from Caliber Press/writers: Chris Ecker and Gary S. Carlson; artists: (#3) Steve Adams, (#4) Bart Schmitz/available in comics shops and by mail.
MINIVIEW: “Hermes Versus The Eyeball Kid”. Outrageous, wildly creative adventures as Hermes and assorted old gods reenter today’s world. Recommended.

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 10th of March 1916.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories or information to add please comment below.

Basin Reserve, 11 December 1950, 114/235/02, Evening Post Collection, Alexander Turnbull Library
Few places in Wellington are as rich in social history as the Basin Reserve. Nowadays it is regarded internationally as one of the world’s oldest and best cricket grounds. Since the 1860s cricket has always been its main purpose but for much of last century it doubled as a venue for all kinds of other sporting and cultural gatherings.
This photo shows an interprovincial athletics meeting in 1950. The crowds were there, though, to see a guest appearance from the world’s fastest woman, world record holder Marjorie Jackson from Australia. Earlier in the year she had won four gold medals at the Empire Games in Auckland. Still to come were Olympic golds at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, and further world records.
Beforehand there had been local rumours that she had not been racing much lately and there might be a local upset. But, as the photo shows, that was a forlorn hope. In fact, she beat her own 100-yard world record, although it did not count, as she had been swept along by a gale-force tail wind.
Elite women athletes were still somewhat of a novelty. In previous decades conservative sports administrators had decreed that women were not capable of such exertion, and Jackson’s visit prompted some discussion in the sports pages about whether such achievements might make women less “feminine.”
Nowadays the Basin has been remodelled as a cricket oval, regarded by many as one of the best test match venues in the world. It is classed as an historic area by Heritage New Zealand, but that history is under some threat. The grand old stand shown here, built in 1923 and now housing the national cricket museum, may soon be demolished as an earthquake risk, after years of neglect.
More worrying is Tranzit New Zealand’s ongoing determination to build a concrete flyover up against and overlooking the Basin’s northern face - despite that proposal being soundly rejected by a board of enquiry last year. A summer day on the Basin embankment could never be the same after that.
Wellingtonians: From the Turnbull Collections contains a selection of the entries from this Flickr set, and some new ones too. This high-quality publication costs just $29.99. You can pick it up at good bookshops or from the publisher, Steele Roberts.

Fingal, one of the heroes of James Macpherson's epic tale of Ossian published in the 1760's is said to have tethered his fabulous dog "Bran" to this rock. The wear and tear evident on the right hand side of the base of the rock is the result of Bran's struggles against his restraint! This shot is taken from the path leading up to the Dunollie Castle the ruin is in the centre of the picture. A nearby notice gives some of the history associated with James Macpherson and his creation: -
“With horses breath, with depth of chest,
With breadth of loin and curve in groin
And nape set far behind the head –
Such were the dogs that Fingal bred”
Following the description of Bran, the poem continues –
“ Call” said Fingal, “call to the chase,
Dogs slim and choice in traveling the moor
Call Bran of the whitest chest;
Call Neart and Ciar and Luath;
Fillan, Rymo – he is in his grave,
My son is in the sleep of death.
Fillan and Fergus blow the horn;
Let joy arise on hill and cairn,
Let deer start up in Cromla
And by the Lake of roes – their home;
The shrill sound rang throughout the wood;
A thousand dogs sprang over the heath;
A deer fell down to every dog;
Three fell to Bran alone;
And towards Fionn he turned the three
To give great joy to the king”.
