Excerpt from Some Account of the Stuarts of Aubigny, in France (1422-1672) I have chie y confined my inquiries to the history of the Stuarts as connected with France, and have only been able therefore to give very briefly the lives of the six last Seigneurs of Aubigny, since they, after the year 1579, lived principally in Scotland and England. I hope that my work, imperfect as it is, may prove acceptable as a contribution towards the history of the Stuarts of Darnley, Lenox and Aubigny.

People like to believe in a past golden age of traditional English countryside, before large farms, machinery, and the destruction of hedgerows changed the landscape forever. However, that countryside may have looked both more and less familiar than we imagine. Take todays startling yellow fields of rapeseed, seemingly more suited to the landscape of Van Gogh than Constable. They were, in fact, thoroughly familiar to fieldworkers in seventeenth-century England. At the same time, some features that would have gone unremarked in the past now seem like oddities. In the fifteenth century, rabbit warrens were specially guarded to rear rabbits as a luxury food for rich mens tables; whilst houses had moats not only to defend them but to provide a source of fresh fish. In the 1500s we find Catherine of Aragon introducing the concept of a fresh salad to the court of Henry VIII; and in the 1600s, artichoke gardens became a fashion of the gentry in their hope of producing more male heirs. The common tomato, suspected of being poisonous in 1837, was transformed into a household vegetable by the end of the nineteenth century, thanks to cheaper glass-making methods and the resulting increase in glasshouses. In addition to these images of past lives, Joan Thirsk reveals how the forces which drive our current interest in alternative forms of agriculture a glut of meat and cereal crops, changing dietary habits, the needs of medicine have striking parallels with earlier periods in our history. She warns us that todays decisions should not be made in a historical vacuum: we can find solutions to our current problems in the experience of people in the past.

RÃ©unissant plus de cent trente lettres et fragments de lettres de la correspondance privÃ©e et diplomatique de l'humaniste toulousain Jean de Pins, Jan Pendergrass ouvre une perspective unique sur quelque quarante ans d'histoire franÃ§aise et europÃ©enne. Humaniste, juriste, diplomate et homme d'Eglise sous les rÃ¨gnes de Louis XII et FranÃ§ois Ier, de Pins fit de longues Ã©tudes en France et en Italie du nord avant de devenir, tour Ã tour, sÃ©nateur aux Parlements de Toulouse et Milan, puis ambassadeur franÃ§ais Ã Venise et Ã Rome. ConsacrÃ© Ã©vÃªque de Rieux en 1524, il se dÃ©mit de ses fonctions parlementaires et finit ses jours Ã Toulouse, entourÃ© d'Ã©tudiants et de gens de lettres Ã©pris de littÃ©rature classique. Cette Ã©dition de sa correspondance rÃ©vÃ¨le l'Ã©tendue considÃ©rable de ses rapports, non seulement avec les reprÃ©sentants de l'humanisme europÃ©en, mais aussi avec les chefs de la diplomatie franÃ§aise, avec des parlementaires, des gens de loi et d'Eglise exceptionnels.
