Londonderry Ireland Lands and Families: An Historical and Genealogical Account of the Plantation in Ulster
Londonderry Lands and Families The Londoners Settlements in Ireland 0940134454 The infamous Londoners' plantation and settlement of Ireland. Irish septs misplaced lands and the misdeeds of some of those who took the land..... This volume tells the story of the Londoners settlement in Ireland. The settlement included the lands of: Loughinsholin, which had previously belonged to Tyrone; the old county of Coleraine which had belonged to O'Cahane; a small portion of the county of Donegal, including the island on which the city of Derry stood; and a small portion of County Antrim adjoining Coleraine. "These were handed over to twelve London companies for plantation ... and united to form the the present county of Londonderry (Derry)". The chief early Irish septs of this area were the O'Cahanes (Cahan or Kane), the O'Mullanes (Mullens or Mullins), the Magilliganes (Gilligan), and the McCloskies (McClusky). Most of this work is concerned with land descriptions and the workings of the companies formed to settle the area, including the names of those concerned. As with the rest of this set there are many interesting footnotes. Among the footnotes in this volume is a detailed description of how to set up a rabbit warren, and a note telling us of the once plentiful deer and squirrels that had been hunted to extinction. From the works of George Hill on the 17th century settlement of Ulster (1609+), The text includes enlightening 19th century commentary and footnotes which shed much light on family and county history. This book, "Londonderry Lands and Families", also serves as volume 3 of the set entitled 'The Conquest of Ireland, an historical and genealogical account of the plantation in Ulster'. It is published on its own due to its importance to Historical and Genealogical Researchers. Hardbound with sewn binding for long life.

Londoners' Larder: English Cuisine from Chaucer to Present
In a vivid panorama, Londoner's Larder presents the food of a great city. Annette Hope has used biography, literature, and social history to explore the city of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Pepys, Johnson, Dickens, Wilde, and Virginia Woolf, and to show in lively detail what these writers and their contemporaries might have eaten, where the food came from, and how it was cooked. She looks at problems of supply, distribution, nutrition, cooking, and health and hygiene as the city expanded and changed character, and in a final chapter chronicles the effect of social, economic, and ethnic shifts since the end of the Second World War. At the end of each chapter are recipes from the period, written in modern, usable form. From the take-away pasties baked by the Cook in The Canterbury Pilgrims to dinner at the Cafe Royal, this book charts the gastronomic life of London in scholarly and entertaining detail. .
