books about: 1751     books:       The Secret Wish of Nannerl Mozart4 reviews Barbara Kathleen Nickel Sumach Press, 1996 A fantastic historical fiction This is one of my favourite historical fictions. Nickel is always detailed in her historical fictions such as The Nine Days Queen. Nannerl's dreams and sibling underappreciation is realistic. I enjoyed the historical details in the dreams and the occasional use of german. To top it off, further reading on the Mozart family, Nickel includes a Bibliography with good ressources. Inspiring for the ...             A Traitor's Kiss: The Life of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, 1751-18164 reviews Fintan O'Toole Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1998 a terrific book I was familiar with Sheridan from his theatrical comedies, plays that have become standard in the repertoire. I was dimly aware of his service in Parliament. I wasn't aware of his extensive involvement in the great political questions of the day, particularly the Irish questions, nor of his centrality in the great debates of the late 18th century--the American war for independence, the ...             The Autobiography of a Yankee Mariner: Christopher Prince and the American Revolution2 reviews Christopher Prince Brassey's Inc, 2002 wonderful! In 1803 Christopher Prince sat down to write his autobiography for the second generation of his family. Little did he realize tat four hundred years later this book would bee reprinted and sold to hundreds, if not thousands of people!

This is a well-written work of historical fiction that will keep the reader riveted to its pages until the very end. It tells the story of Princess Caroline Mathilde of England, sister to King George III. At the age of fifteen she was wed to young King Christian VII, who eventually became known as the mad king of Denmark. Temperamental, high strung, and given to strange outbursts, his ...             The Business of May Next: James Madison and the Founding2 reviews William Lee Miller Univ of Virginia Pr, 1992 Understanding Madison's Importance The Busines of May Next is easily the best book I have ever read on James Madison's intellectual journey from his dismay over the ineffectiveness of the Articles of Confederation to his draft of the Virginia Plan, which was the underlying foundation of our Constitution. The title is taken from a letter Madison wrote in which he discussed the "business" of the upcoming Constitutional Convention ...             Jefferson and Madison on the Separation of Church and State2 reviews Lenni Brenner Barricade Books, 2004 A renewed look at the thoughts and comments Jefferson And Madison On Separation Of Church And State: Writings On Religion And Secularism is painstakingly compiled and professionally edited by historian, journalist, lecturer and freethinker Lenni Brenner.

All of the usual cliches surrounding Benedict Arnold and his act of treason were fresh in my mind as I opened the front cover. But as I read the letters and diary entries in the words of both conspiritors, and allowed myself to feel the fears and passions of the time, I found myself questioning ...             55 Men, the Story of the Constitution: Based on the Day-By-Day Notes of James Madison3 reviews Fred Rodell Stackpole Books, 1986 What it was like - Constructing a Government This was an eye opener for learning how many options were considered and how many compromises were made to resolve the regional and economic differences of the fifty-five delagates. Very sobering, to consider how close the USA came to making very different choices. Highly reccommended for all! This is real history, as recorded by Madison, exactly as it evolved.             Snakes Don't Miss Their Mothers3 reviews M. E. Kerr, 2003 Animal lovers come forth...! Christmas is only a few days away, and at this time of year, the animals residing within the cages at Critters Animal Shelter begin feeling sorry for themselves.

These books have the merits of readability and accesibility -- of providing knowledge and historical context of the early days of our country in a relatively short but informed compass. The Library of America's series of writings by America's Founders -- ...             Washington Is Burning!

My previous understanding of James Madison was that he caved to political pressure and started the War of 1812. When I read about his thoughtful and brilliant additions to our Constitution, I realized *again* how special our founding fathers were.             Descendants of John Comins: (ca. 1668-1751) and his wife, Mary, of Woburn and Oxford, Massachusetts, and ...1 review Abbott Lowell Cummings Newbury Street Press, 2001 Excellent Book, Great Research & Very Interesting Read! This book is easy to read, unlike many family histories and genealogies. Mr Cummings has researched every nook & cranny of the Comins Family, even to having DNA tests done with willing male descendants. It is more than worth the money you will pay for it!! As one of the Family, I appluad Abbott L Cummings skill and diligence in putting together an excellent history from a mish-mash of previous ...             Dolley Madison: Courageous First Lady (Historical American Biographies)1 review Lynda Pflueger Enslow Publishers, 1999 An enjoyable and accurate biography of this fascinating lady I was fortunate to be one of the readers for this book before it was published. I found it to be very good and accurate. Maybe as the review above states every detail of Dolley's complex life is not examined but then again this is a book geared for young adults and not meant to be a comprehensive biography. Kenneth M. Clark Historian The James Madison Museum             2000 U. S. Master Tax Guide W/ Federal Taxation Refresher Course : Study Guide/quizzer1 review CCH Incorporated, 1999 Industry Standard The CCH annual Master Tax Guide is the premiere source of summary tax information for tax professionals.

(You will note, upon reading it, that congress apparently has not changed much at all since our Nation's first breath.) Mr. Boylan does not attempt to excuse Arnold's behavior towards the end of his career in the American army; he merely portrays the whole picture of who Benedict Arnold was, his role as no doubt one of the ...             The diary of a surgeon in the year 1751-1752,1 review Ernest A Gray D. Appleton-Century Company, Incorporated, 1937 Is this a true story? I found a copy of this book in our local, very small library. It was published in 1937 so it was rather moldy but the title intrigued me. It appears to be a true diary but once I started reading it just seemed too good to be true. It reads like a Masterpiece Theater production. The language is quaint but eloquent. John Knyveton as young man sets off to London to begin his career in medicine, ...             Shawnee Captive: The Story of Mary Draper Ingles (Women of the Frontier)2 reviews Mary R. Furbee Morgan Reynolds Publishing, 2001 This is an exciting book! Mary Ingles was courageous! I read it in one night and I'm going to read it again. I'd read about Mary Ingles in the book Follow the River, but I didn't know she lived in Lancaster or that her parents were Scotch Irish. This book tells about her whole life including escape from the Indians. That's the most exciting part though when she hikes 800 miles through rivers and mountains to get home and ...             Hitting The Mark (Harlequin Blaze)1 review Jill Monroe Harlequin, 2007 Her best book yet! I absolutely adored this book and think it's Jill Monroe's best book yet. A white hot page turner with humor, excitment, and passion!!! Not to mention a heroine with a shady past and a hero with a secret. . . The details were so dead on, Jill Monroe could have been a thief in another life!             Amelia County, Virginia court orders, 1746-1751: An every-name index1 review T.L.C.
