In it as well as numerous contemporary accounts his outrage against Hull's conduct as Commander of the Army of the Northwest during the War of 1812 including the entire campaign in and around Detroit which ended with Hull's surrender not only of Detrit and the forces directly under his command but for some reason of detached troops under McArthur's command which particularly enraged McArthur.

ROMANS AND BARBARIANS Four Views from the Empire's Edge 1st Century AD
Scholar's name to ffep (Robert Brown). Else book is fine. DJ has very light shelfwear. ; Romans and Barbarians sees the clash of cultures from the standpoint of four individuals whose curious fate it was to venture or be sent beyond the outer watchtowers of the Roman empire. They bore witness from the grassy steppe of Europe's southeastern corner; from across the grim Carpathians, towering beyond the Danube; from the fearsome German forest; and from beyond the Firth of Forth in the wilderness of northern-most Britain. Each portrait reveals different aspects of the Sarmatian, German, and Celtic peoples facing the empire's European frontiers. Together these four viewpoints provide a rich portrait of the classical and Iron Age worlds, mutually uncomprehending yet strangely unable to do without each other. The outcome is a skein of violence, tragedy, misadventure, and courage, offering a preview of the cruel but creative forces from whose fusion modern Europe was eventually to emerge. ; 237 pages

Wilson Carlile ['The Chief'] (1847-1942), Anglican evangelist, founder in 1882 of the Church Army and Prebendary of St Paul's Ca
‘The Vagrant Criminal and Inebriate Classes’: Wilson Carlile ‘The Chief’ Prebendary of St Paul’s Cathedral and Founder of the Church Army. Autograph Letter Signed asking W. S. De Winton for assistance in helping persons to a ‘fresh start’.
5 May 1896; on leterhead of 130 Edgeware Road London W. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The Church Army still active today was founded in 1882 as a Church of England equivalent to the Methodists’ Salvation Army. From the papers of the recipient Wilfred Seymour De Winton of Haverfordwest. 3pp 12mo. On a bifolium of grey paper. In good condition lightly aged. Signed ‘W Carlile / Hon. Chief Sec.’ To the left of the signature in the bottom-left of the recto of the second leaf is a purple ink stamp of the following: ‘WRITTEN BY ONE OF OUR POOR STRUGGLING LABOUR HOME BROTHERS’. He begins what is undoubtedly one of many such letters he had to write: ‘Dear Mr De Winton / The Vagrant Criminal and Inebriate Classes a seething mass of our fellow men look to us as the hand of the Church held out to give them a last chance.’ While many could ‘get a fresh start in life after 2 or 3 months staying in one of our Labour Homes the lack of funds compels us day by day to refuse numbers of genuine helpable persons’. He stresses that the homes ‘are not Shelters and are limited to 25 Inmates men women and youths all received irrespective of creed’. He states that 51 1/2 per cent of those who passed through the institutions in the year 1895 ‘obtained a fresh start’ and that the organisation requires ‘£100000 annually’. ‘The financial burdens come heavily on us who nearly all work without any pay.’ He asks if De Winton can help them ‘regain by labour & religion many rapidly sinking into the vortex of crime and misery.’ 5 May 1896; on leterhead of 130 Edgeware Road, London W. unknown
