Valentine's day
St. Valentine was a third century Roman priest who secretly married couples after the emperor banned marriage for young men, believing single men made better soldiers. Valentine was arrested and put to death for defying this decree. While the origins of Valentine's Day are obscure, it may have been established by the Christian church on February 14th to Christianize the ancient Roman pagan fertility festival of Lupercalia. By the Middle Ages, Valentine's Day had become a day for romance. The mass production of Valentine's Day cards in the 19th century helped popularize the holiday in America and other countries as a day for expressing love and affection.

Embroiderysp13
The art of embroidery has existed for over 30,000 years, originating in places like China and the Middle East. It began as a way to join animal skins but evolved into an embellishment for clothing. Different cultures developed unique embroidery techniques using materials available to them. Embroidery was especially important in medieval Islamic societies and was used decoratively on many items of clothing, decor, and more. In Europe, elaborate gold embroidery known as Opus Anglicanum became prestigious. Samplers were also embroidered by young girls as part of their training. Contemporary embroidery takes many artistic forms around the world today.

English victorian society
The document provides an overview of various aspects of Victorian English society between 1837 and 1901. It describes the complex social hierarchy and class system, with different rules of etiquette for men and women of the upper classes. Entertainment for the upper classes included dances held outdoors, with specific dance protocols. Running households required many servants divided into indoor and outdoor roles. Clothing styles were elaborate and constricting for women. There were many poor occupations like chimney sweeps, rat catchers, and factory workers, who often lived in overcrowded conditions. Transportation was primarily by horse-drawn carriages of varying types.
Larraitz,nerea,ander eta asier
The document provides questions about Jane Austen's life and work, specifically her novel Pride and Prejudice. It asks about the year and place of Austen's birth, her decision not to marry a wealthy man who proposed, other novels she wrote, the original title of Pride and Prejudice, characteristics of the Bennet daughters, how class differences affected the relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy, the time period known as the Regency, British peerages, appropriate food for a Pride and Prejudice-themed meal, and identifies a portrait painter from Austen's time.
The Victorians
The Victorian era in Britain during Queen Victoria's reign from 1837 to 1901 was characterized by strict moral codes and class divisions reflected in fashion. Wealthy women were expected to dress in lavish clothing to display social status and family wealth according to rigid etiquette rules that dictated multiple daily outfit changes. Men were also bound by conventions prescribing correct dress for every occasion. Oscar Wilde embraced the Aesthetic movement that rebelled against mass-produced goods of the Industrial Revolution through unique, flowing styles of dress. Social class was evident even in church seating arrangements and the treatment of married women under the law reflected the era's hypocrisy.

This document summarizes the organization and establishment of a new Masonic Lodge. It explains that a group of Masons in good standing can petition the Grand Master for a dispensation to start a new Lodge.

The document then notes that Lodges are organized for selfish purposes by cunning men, not for general good as claimed, before giving an example finance report from a new Lodge that questions where Masonic money actually goes.

Herity focusses on the period 1830-61 and O'Donovan's involvement with the OS 6" mapping project and the centrality of his role. His expertise in the Irish language and grasp of etymology, as well as his intimate knowledge of the history and antiquities of Ireland, resulted in the connection of 'placenames with history... raising them above mere words'. The importance of O'Donovan's fieldwork, keen ear, in-depth knowledge and forensic research are described, as are the treks he engaged in on a daily basis throughout the country. His connection with Petrie's work on Tara is adverted to. Betham's vituperative criticisms and the consequent scrutiny of the Memoir scheme and the OS work is discussed. Examples are provided of O'Donovan's linguistic prowess and his acerbic wit.

The document provides information on researching 17th century English ancestors, including:
- Many early immigrants arrived in New England in the 1630s or Virginia in the 1620s from England, but passenger lists and records are scarce before 1635.
- The English Civil War from 1642-1660 disrupted parish registration and government records. Compiling information from multiple sources is often needed to identify ancestors from this period.
- Records at The National Archives like the Committee for Sequestrations and Compounding with Delinquents papers provide details about royalists and Catholics impacted by the war.
- Other potential sources of information include heraldic visitations, recusant rolls tax records, and published histories. Non

This chapter introduces the spread of Freemasonry abroad from England in the early 1700s and the rise of additional Masonic rites beyond the original English rituals. It focuses on the Chevalier Ramsay, who delivered a speech in 1737 claiming an alternative history of Masonry in Scotland. While Ramsay was accused of promoting the political interests of the exiled Stuarts, the chapter argues there is little evidence he was actually a partisan of the Stuarts or intended to misrepresent Masonic history for political purposes. It maintains Ramsay has been unjustly maligned by many Masonic authors.

Chronic Conditions in Health and Wealth
This document discusses how chronic health issues in 19th century Ireland were linked to poverty and poor living conditions. It outlines the increasing role of the government in establishing public health bodies and passing legislation to improve vaccination programs, disease control, healthcare provision, water quality, sewage systems, and housing standards. While conditions gradually improved through these efforts, health remained closely tied to wealth, so being wealthy was generally better for maintaining good health.
Murderous Outrage
Three murders that occurred in Ireland are summarized:
1. Catherine Foley was beaten to death with a stool leg and knife by her daughter Hanorah Foley in Ardmore in 1862. Hanorah claimed to be insane but doctors found no evidence of this.
2. Mary Grady was murdered and decapitated by Thomas Buckley in Knockyoolahan in 1881. Buckley had recently returned from America and neighbors said he had been of unsound mind.
3. Richard Maher was found beaten to death with his skull smashed near Killea in 1890. Local suspects included Thomas Hennessy Jr. and a man named Whittle who had a land dispute with someone Ma
Dis ease and disease
This document discusses concepts of disease and health in early modern Ireland. It describes the humoral theory of disease, which attributed illnesses to imbalances of bodily humors. It also outlines various diseases that plagued Ireland, such as typhus, cholera, tuberculosis, and diphtheria. These diseases spread rapidly due to overcrowding, poor living conditions, and widespread poverty. The document concludes that poverty was a major factor leading to the spread of disease in Ireland.
Gorging and gout waterford
This document discusses changes in diet, consumption habits, and health in 18th-19th century Ireland. As disposable incomes rose across society, people spent more on food, alcohol, and fashion. Diets became richer, incorporating meat, sugar, and new processed foods. Excessive eating and drinking led to issues like gout. Medicine was also problematic, employing questionable practices and substances like lead-based cosmetics and mercury pills. Overall, greater affluence enabled overindulgence that could undermine people's well-being.
Is health better than wealth waterford
Poverty in the 18th-19th centuries was strongly correlated with poor health outcomes like high infant mortality rates. Wealthier families had better access to healthcare and lived longer. The development of hospitals, medical institutions, and dispensaries helped improve public health, while the rise of banks and paper currency expanded access to financial services. However, banking crises still occurred and exposed people to risks of financial ruin. Overall, the documents discuss how health and wealth were intertwined, with poverty bringing illness and wealth enabling better access to medical care.
Notoriously dissolute females
The document discusses the roles and treatment of women in 19th century Ireland. It describes how women were expected to conform to the role of "angel in the house" and be subservient to men. Unmarried mothers and women seen as "dissolute" could be institutionalized. Legislation like the Contagious Diseases Acts allowed involuntary examination of women for STIs but not men. The document shows how women's rights began receiving more attention by the late 19th century through campaigns against such discriminatory laws and for women's suffrage.
