Before the Naval College was built in Dartmouth, naval offi cers were from 1863/4 trained in “Britannia”, which consisted of two old

Dartmouth harbour and joined together by a bridge. This fascinating and very scarce booklet describes in detail the way in which naval

in the guard of honour when King Edward VII laid the foundation stone May ? 1902”, and with further interesting annotations by him
in the text. Wright later became Lieut.Commander and served in H.M.S Ajax, 2nd Battle Squadron of The British Grand Fleet 1915-19.

John Burgess, Cumbrian historian, is a graduate of the Universities of Lancaster, Leicester, Durham and Sheffi eld. He is the author
of numerous books and papers about Cumbria and other areas. He won awards from the 27 Foundation of the Institute of Historical
Research in 1980 and 1984 and from the British Academy on 1986 He is married with a son and two daughters and lives just outside
Carlisle. He has now retired from historical writing due to ill-health and to concentrate on caring for his disabled son.
The majority of his works, although privately published by John Burgess Publishing with an ISBN number, were printed in very
small numbers, bound up locally and never distributed to the general public. They are all printed from the original typescripts and the
19

illustrations are photocopies from original works and engraved plates, some of variable quality. Quite personal in tone, the texts are
nonetheless detailed, highly professional and lively, and bring together much information which is hard to locate elsewhere.
It is sad that much of Burgess’s work has never reached a wider public and thus received the attention it is due - this copy represents the
last of the author’s own stock and it will not become available again.

Printed in a very limited edition and never distributed publicly.
This set is offered together with the author’s private archive of research material relating to his studies in the subject, assembled during
the 1980s. This comprises a large volume of material - photocopies of numerous published works, many rare and obscure, original
letters, pamphlets, original and copy typescripts (the results of the author’s own researches) and numerous other papers on all aspects
of the religious history of the country. This remarkable collection is the result of many years assiduous searching and collation - a full
list of the archive’s contents is available on request.

The proposals outlined aimed “to give fi rst priority to the consideration of the athletes and to represent the true spirit of the Olympic
Games. Details are given of the village, stadium, indoor complex, rail and air communications, satellite venues, security, accommodation,
transport; and the arts festival and international science conference to be held in association with the Games.”
Birmingham’s bid for the 1992 Olympic Games, which cost £3 million, failed (the Handsworth riots perhaps didn’t help its cause), but
the city hosted the IOC Congress in 1991 and has staged over twenty-fi ve World and thirteen European Championships in the last 12
years. It also staged the World Disability Athletics in 1998 and has just staged the Paralympic World Junior Basketball championships.
Birmingham will stage football during the 2012 Olympics at Villa Park and now boasts numerous world-class facilities.
