Les Grandes Chroniques de France. [12th September 1213]. After the barons and prelates had returned to France, the King of Aragon (age 35), the Count of Saint-Gilles (age 56), the Count of Foix, and many other barons of the land laid siege to the count in the castle of Muriaus. They had gathered a great host and inflicted wrongs, as they were of the country, and the count had only sixty knights, mounted sergeants, and pilgrims on foot, all unarmed, around him. After the count [Simon "Elder" Montfort 5th Earl of Leicester (age 38)] and his people had devoutly heard mass, confessed their sins, and invoked the grace of the Holy Spirit, they came out of the castle, bold as lions, as those armed with faith and belief, and valiantly fought against their enemies. They killed the King of Aragon and about 18,000 of his people. After they had won the battle and their enemies were all killed or driven away, they found that they had only lost eight pilgrims from all their company. Never had such a victory been heard of in this world, nor such a marvelous battle where so great a miracle should be noted. This Count Simon was called in the land the 'strong count,' for his marvelous strength. For, although he was very noble in arms, he was so devout that he heard mass and his canonical hours every day; always armed, always in danger. He had entirely left and renounced his country, in service to Our Lord, on this pilgrimage, to earn God's love and the joy of Paradise.
Après ce que li baron et li prelat s'en furent retorné en France, li rois d'Arragon, li cuens de Saint Gyle, li cuens de Fois, et maint autre baron du païs assistrent le conte ou chastel de Muriaus. Grant ost et tort avoient assemblé, come cil qui du pais estoient, et li cuens n'avoit que ce et lx chevaliers, d serjanz à cheval, et pèlerins à piè, toz desarmez, entor vif. Après ce que li cuens et sa gent orent la messe oie par L;rant dévotion, et il orent leur péchiez confessez et apelée la grâce du Saint Esperit, il issirent du chastel hardi comme lyon, come cil qui estoient armé de foi et de créance, et se combatirent à leur anemis vertueusement. Le roi d'Arragon occistrent et bien xviii de sa gent. Après ce que il orent la bataille vaincue et toz leur anemis occis et chaciez, il troverent que il n'orent perdu de tote leur gent que viii pèlerins tant seulement. Si ne fu ainques oie tel victoire en cest siècle ne si merveilleuse, ne bataille où l'on deust noter si grant miracle. Icil cuens Symons estoit apelez ou pais cuens forz, pour sa mervelleuse force. Car com il fust très nobles en armes, il estoit si preuzdons que il ooit chascun jor sa messe et ses houres kanoniaus; toz jors armez, toz jors en péril. Si avoit du tôt guerpi et adossé son pais, pour le servise Nostre Seigneur, en ceste voie de pérégrination, pour deservir l'amor de Dieu et la joie de Paradis.

Letters of Horace Walpole. Strawberry-Hill, Sept. 12, 1749.
I HAVE your two letters to answer of August 15th and 26th, and as far as I see before me, have a great deal of paper, which I don't know how to fill. The town is notoriously empty; at Kensington they have scarce company enough to pay for lighting the candles. The Duke has been for a week with the Duke of Bedford (age 38) at Woburn [Map]: Princess Emily (age 38) remains saying civil things; for example; the second time she saw Madame de Mirepoix, she cried out, "Ah! Madame, vous n'avez pas tant de rouge aujourdhui: la premiere fois que vous etes venue id, vous aviez une quantite horrible" This the Mirepoix herself repeated to me; you may imagine her astonishment,- I mean, as far as your duty will give you leave. I like her extremely; she has a great deal of quiet sense. They try much to be English, and whip into frocks without measure, and fancy they are doing the, fashion. Then she has heard so much of that villainous custom of giving money to the servants of other people, that there is no convincing her that women of fashion never give; she distributes with both hands. The Chevalier Lorenzi has dined with me here: I gave him venison, and as he was determined to like it, he protested it was as good as beef. You will be delighted with what happened to him: he was impatient to make his brother's compliments to Mr. Chute, and hearing somebody at Kensington call Mr. Schutz, he easily mistook the sound, and went up to him, and asked him if he had not been at Florence! Schutz with the utmost Hanoverian gravity replied, "Oui, oui, fai ete a Florence, oui, oui: - ma is ou est-il ce Florence?"

Letters of Harriet, Countess Granville. To Lady G. Morpeth (age 29). Tixal: September 12, 1812.
The Bessboroughs1 have been unpacked about a couple of hours. My aunt looks stout and well, but poor Caroline most terribly the contrary. She is worn to the bone, as pale as death and her eyes starting out of her head. She seems indeed in a sad way, alternately in tearing spirits and in tears.
I hate her character, her feelings, and herself when I am away from her, but she interests me when I am with her. and to see her poor careworn face is dismal, in spite of reason and speculation upon her extraordinary conduct. She appears to me in a state very short of insanity, and my aunt describes it as at times having been decidedly so.
God bless you, dearest. Hart and William2 do not leave Ireland till the 20th.
Caro. has been excessively entertaining at supper. Her spirits, whilst they last, seem as ungovernable as her grief. My aunt is very gay and amiable. Poor Lord Bessborough me pèse sur le cœur et l'esprit3. William Lamb laughs and eats like a trooper.
Note 1. Lord (age 54) and Lady Bessborough (age 51)
Note 2. Mr. William Ponsonby.
Note 3. "Weighs on my heart and mind", "Weighs heavily on my heart and mind", "Is a burden on my heart and mind."

Memoir of the Life of William James Müller. A few more lines, brief and sad, and this memoir will be finished. On Monday morning, the 8th of September [1845], Edmund Muller had commenced to set his brother’s palette after breakfast, as was his wont; and William Muller (age 33), who was propped up, seemed about as well as he had been of late, when suddenly a change came over him. He appears to have broken an internal blood-vessel. He had just strength to call to his brother for help, and then said, "Remember Gooden and — and — that other." He could not pronounce the name, but it was supposed to be Charles Bentley, to whom he was much attached. Soon after this, exhausted nature gave way, his head fell, and he never spoke again. He had entered "the Silent Land," and all his work and sufferings were over.
On Friday, the 12th, he was quietly laid to rest in the old Lewin’s Mead burial-ground, situated in a retired part of Bristol, leading out of Brunswick Square. Several of his mother’s relatives, the Jameses, had long been buried there. It is a small and secluded cemetery, with a few trees, shrubs, and flowers ; and the grave of Muller, marked only with a flat stone and a simple inscription, is situated at its furthest end, and is placed underneath an overhanging elder-bush. As Tennyson sang in memory of another young Englishman, we may say of Muller —
"'Tis well; 'tis something ; we may stand
Where he in English earth is laid.
And from his ashes may be made
The violets of his native land.
'Tis little; but it looks in truth
As if the quiet bones were blest
Among familiar names to rest.
And in the places of his youth."

The Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough, a canon regular of the Augustinian Guisborough Priory, Yorkshire, formerly known as The Chronicle of Walter of Hemingburgh, describes the period from 1066 to 1346. Before 1274 the Chronicle is based on other works. Thereafter, the Chronicle is original, and a remarkable source for the events of the time. This book provides a translation of the Chronicle from that date. The Latin source for our translation is the 1849 work edited by Hans Claude Hamilton. Hamilton, in his preface, says: "In the present work we behold perhaps one of the finest samples of our early chronicles, both as regards the value of the events recorded, and the correctness with which they are detailed; Nor will the pleasing style of composition be lightly passed over by those capable of seeing reflected from it the tokens of a vigorous and cultivated mind, and a favourable specimen of the learning and taste of the age in which it was framed."

Hamilton, in his preface, says: "In the present work we behold perhaps one of the finest samples of our early chronicles, both as regards the value of the events recorded, and the correctness with which they are detailed; Nor will the pleasing style of composition be lightly passed over by those capable of seeing reflected from it the tokens of a vigorous and cultivated mind, and a favourable specimen of the learning and taste of the age in which it was framed."
