1969140942685np: Stone Garden Press Inc 1969. First Edition. First edition. 2 21 pp. Publisher's stapled wraps. Near Fine lightly toned with age faint upper corner crease. Scarce. No copies located in OCLC.<p>An ephemeral document of the "Paul is dead" rumor that swept Beatles fan-culture in the fall of 1969. Paul McCartney was alleged to have died in 1967 under mysterious circumstances and been replaced by a body double. Supposedly this jarring fact could only be alluded to by the surviving Beatles not expressed openly via tiny hints and clues in the Beatles' album artwork lyrics and interviews shades of "Q"'s "breadcrumbs" in the recent Q-Anon phenomenon perhaps. This booklet runs through many of these clues such as the famous lack of shoes on Paul on the album cover for Abbey Road. By late October 1969 pop culture references to Paul's demise had become a running joke that few took seriously even though the memory of the rumor managed to live on in the popular consciousness.

Lancelot was in charge of the education of the duke of Chevreuse and of the princes of Conti. From 1638 until 1660 Lancelot continued to be associated with the religious community around the Abbey of Port-Royal-des-Champs. Lancelot authored Nouvelle méthode pour apprendre la langue latine or New Method of Learning Latin 1644; Nouvelle méthode pour apprendre la langue grecque or New Method of Learning Greek 1655; Jardin des racines grecques or Garden of Greek Roots 1657 first published under the name Racines Grecques de Port-Royal; and with Antoine Arnauld Grammaire générale et raisonnée or General and Rational Grammar 1660 otherwise known as the Port-Royal Grammar. In early 1660 Lancelot was forced to leave the Abbey and was ultimately exiled to Brittany. Lancelot died near the Holy-Cross Abbey in Quimperlé in 1695. Wikipedia ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Thomas Nugent c. 1700 27 April 1772 in Gray's Inn London was an erudite Irish historian and travel writer. Today he is best known for his travelogue of the Grand Tour which was at that time popular particularly among English noblemen taking educational tours through Europe. His detailed descriptions of the France Italy Germany and the Netherlands of the time provide a rich source for historians of the situation in the second half of the 18th century. Little is known regarding his early years. He admittedly came from Ireland though he spent most of his life in London. There he occupied himself as an author and translator. In the year 1749 he published the multi-volume work "The Grand Tour containing an exact description of most of the cities towns and remarkable places of Europe". This was the first detailed guidebook for English gentlemen wanting to go on the Grand Tour of Europe. Whether Nugent had actually undertaken this tour himself in unknown although it is assumed on the basis of the detailed information and evident knowledge of the places depicted therein. Nugent devoted himself in the following years to translating works by prominent jurists philosophers and political thinkers of his time mostly from French into English. This included a 1750 translation of Montesquieus De lesprit des lois into English as The Spirit of Laws a 1751 translation of Jean-Jacques Burlamaquis Principes du droit politique as Principles of Politic Law 1752 and in 1756 a translation of Étienne Bonnot de Condillacs Essai sur lorigine des connaissances humaines as Essay on the Origin of Human Knowledge. Also in 1756 a newly updated version of his travelogue was published with the title "The Grand Tour or A journey through the Netherlands Germany Italy and France". In the year 1759 he published a translation of the French historian Philippe Macquer 1720-1770 of Roman History "Chronological Abridgement of the Roman History". He then devoted himself to the French history of Charles-Jean-Francois Henault "Chronological Abridgment of the History of France" 1762. Nugent received a doctorate of law from the Scottish University of Aberdeen in 1765. After this he planned to write a history of the Vandals thus studying the source material on his trip to Germany. He traveled through northern Germany from Hamburg through Lübeck to Mecklenburg where he suspected to be the original homeland or the early settlement of the Vandals. On his return to England he not only published his history of the Vandals "The History of Vandalia Containing the ancient and present state of the country of Mecklenburg" in 1766 but also in 1768 was published his German travel experiences in the form of several letters to a fictitious friend at home. This work original title: Travels through Germany: containing observations on customs manners religion government commerce arts and antiquities: with a particular account of the Courts of Mecklenburg in a series of letters to a friend was written amongst others at Hamburg Lübeck and several cities and villages in the then Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz including Schwerin Rostock Wismar Ludwigslust Doberan Güstrow Bützow Waren Neustrelitz Mirow and Neubrandenburg. In 1771 he wrote a book about the Florentine Renaissance sculptor Benvenuto Cellini. Inspired by the success of his travelogue he now translated a guidebook of London which was the first work aimed at foreign readers visiting England. This book original title: "A tour to London or New observations on England and its inhabitants" appeared in 1772 the same year that Nugent died in London. Following his death his guidebooks enjoyed yet even greater popularity. A third edition of his "Grand Tour" appeared in 1778. His two-volume travelogue about northern Germany Travels through Germany which appeared in 1768 gave great interest there. The Mecklenburg-based Professor Lorenz Karsten translated the work into German and published it in 1781 by Friedrich Nicolai. This book in which among other things the Lübeck Dance of Death Totentanz is described made Nugent famous in Germany and was largely abridged in 1938 as well as appearing in new annotated editions in 1998 and 2000. Goethe's translation of the life of Benvenuto Cellini from the year 1803 was partly based on the Italian original and partly based on the English version by Thomas Nugent. Wikipedia hardcover
