Monarchy has been man's natural form of government in almost every civilisation since the dawn of recorded time. Yet, over the past two hundred and fifty years, this historic system has entered into seemingly irreversible decline in favour of the republic across almost all of the world's cultures and regions. Hugh Williams follows and analyses a truly remarkable series of events which started with the American and French revolutions in the late 18th century and which still have not yet run their course. The enduring personal popularity of monarchy, as evidenced by media hunger for royal headlines of any sort, indeed remains a puzzle for today's republican revolutionaries wherever they are. Books on royalty tend to be confined to biographies or specific historical episodes, and rarely has the ongoing monarchy/republican divide been seriously examined as a serious social and political trend in its own right. "Monarchy or Republic" has been written as an in-depth study of the causes of monarchy's decline and why the republic is now the default form of government for most countries. Pen portraits of many of the characters involved in this story are given to lighten up the narrative, but this is essentially a serious book. The book has been written as a continuous read about one of the most striking cultural and political shifts in recent history. hw 30/11/2016

What are the 50 key events you need to understand to grasp British history?If you could choose the 50 things that define British history, events of significance not only in themselves, but in their importance to wider themes running through our past, what would they be? Hugh Williams has made that selection, and the result is a fascinating overview of Britain's past.He refines British history into a series of key themes that represent a crucial strand in our history, and pinpoints the seminal events within those strands - Roots, from the Roman invasion to Britain's entry into the Common Market; Fight, Fight and Fight Again, from the Battle of Agincourt to the Falklands War; The Pursuit of Liberty, from the Magna Carta through the Glorious Revolution to the foundation of the NHS; Home and Abroad, from Sir Francis Drake and Clive of India to the arrival of the SS Empire Windrush; and All Change, from Chaucer and the English language to the invention of the web.With great clarity, simplicity and a zest for the marvellous stories that underpin many of these events, Hugh Williams explains the linkage between each one and its importance in the progress of British history as a whole. Along the way, he has some fascinating tales to tell, making this a highly enjoyable read as well as a perceptive insight into our shared past, and vital for anyone who wants quickly and enjoyably to grasp the essential facts about Britain's history.

The lord and lady of an old English estate have had to open up most of their manor to tourists in order to keep the place going. One day an American millionaire breaks off from the tourists and enters the private rooms of the manor where he meets the lady. They fall in love at first sight. The lord is momentarily helpless, and can offer no objection when his wife, after a restless weekend, announces that she is going into London for a few days. He does not want his wife to come back to him out of any sense of duty, but prefers to hold or lose her entirely. He engineers a plan that involves inviting the American to the estate for a weekend, together with the women his wife is ostensibly visiting in London. It's a bold plan, but he carries it off gaily. The evening culminates in a harmless duel, in which the lord is superficially wounded - by arrangement with his butler. The absolute seriousness of the situation shocks the lady back to her senses. The dialogue throughout sparkles with a delightful levity, and the roles are polished to a perfection of sophistiction.
