Book Description
Excerpt from Denham Parish Registers, 1539-1850: With Historical Notes and Notices But there may be more than one idea as to how a parish history should be written. It seems to me that it may best be written on biographical lines, long biographies and short biographies, individual biographies and collective biographies. Botany, geology, the archaeology and history of very early days, such things as those are pre-parochial or extra-parochial, and are no part of parochial history, but must be studied over a wider area than the parish. But around biography a large number of the facts which make up a parish history for a thousand years may well be made to Cluster. And by biography I mean not merely the biography of the great man who finds his way into every biographical dictionary, but the biography of every man who has run his course and lived his life, and whose course and life have left something behind that you can take hold of. The squire at the hall, the parson at the parsonage, the farmer at his farm, the labourer in his cottage, these all individually and collectively leave something behind them as the result of their life's labour. Gather those somethings together and you have the parish history. Biography may be made to include nearly everything that is human in its origin. Hardly anything need be left out in the cold. The buildings will not be left out, for they never grew of themselves some man's hand raised them, and biography will show whose hand it was. Genealogy, heraldry, bibliography, manners, customs, all will come in and have their place. And if one wonders how to make a start, how to know who has lived and died in the parish, why, there in the parish chest lies a volume with the name of every inhabitant for three hundred years and more. If that does not give one something to start upon and work upon, I dont know what can. But one can only work upon it when it has first been transcribed and printed. When the parishes have had their histories made out, then and not before the Counties and the country will have theirs. But certainly not before, for you cannot tell the total until you know the items. To talk about the history of a country being fully written while as yet nothing is known as to the parishes and people who make up that country, is absurd.

Book Description
In Roads Were Not Built for Cars, Carlton Reid reveals the pivotal—and largely unrecognized—role that bicyclists played in the development of modern roadways. Reid introduces readers to cycling personalities, such as Henry Ford, and the cycling advocacy groups that influenced early road improvements, literally paving the way for the motor car. When the bicycle morphed from the vehicle of rich transport progressives in the 1890s to the “poor man’s transport” in the 1920s, some cyclists became ardent motorists and were all too happy to forget their cycling roots. But, Reid explains, many motor pioneers continued cycling, celebrating the shared links between transport modes that are now seen as worlds apart. In this engaging and meticulously researched book, Carlton Reid encourages us all to celebrate those links once again.
