Excerpt from Folkestone and Dover At no season does Folkestone cease to be Charm ing. Thus did a much-travelled American some years ago pay tribute to one of the chief of the south of England watering-places, a town which, if it has little that is old to show and no very' striking history to tell, thoroughly serves its purpose as a watering-place and healthful holiday resort. Many thousands Of visi tors from London and other parts of England every year make Folkestone the spot in which they seek Change from the year's work in healthful rest and play, and hnd - in its striking situation, its beautiful air - that which they seek. I always go to Folkestone l have more than once heard from people when the perennial topic of the annual holiday has come up, and the words are an eloquent tribute to the attractions of the place. Many of our 'cross-channel neighbours, too, have found its Cliffs and shores, inland villages and diversified countryside an attractive contrast to the low coast, the sand dunes, and the broad fiat stretches of sand of their own Pas de Calais. During the autumn of 1914, when the outbreak of the Great War led to the devastating of Belgium and parts of north-eastern France by the troops of Germany, Folkestone became the landing-place and temporary asylum of thousands of refugees driven from their homes. Many of these, it may well be believed, after peace has restored them to those homes, will come again in kindlier times to the pleasant coast on which they found a welcome in the time of their agony and terror.

Excerpt from Folkestone During the War: A Record of the Town's Life and Work This volume is an evidence of local patriotism. It was made possible by the public spirit of the writers and publishers, to whom the Editor expresses his indebtedness. No town in England has a record of war work comparable with that of Folkestone. The coast-line from Dover to Hythe forms a strategic point of vital importance. It was not only the nearest to the fighting line, but the key-position to England. Looking back, it is wonderful to observe how little it suffered and how nobly it bore the strain of continual anxiety.

Excerpt from Thomas Dover (of Dover's Powder): Physician and Buccaneer Captain Thomas Dover returned from the South Seas a wealthy man; the expedition had been unusually successful, having realized the enormous sum of To Dover, who is stated to have been the owner of a very considerable part of both ships, fell a considerable share of the spoils. Alexander Selkirk as mate received 800 prize money. Harris (voyages, etc.) makes the following comments on the voyage: It has been universally allowed by such as are proper judges of such expeditions that there never was any voyage of this nature so happily adjusted, so well provided in all respects, or in which the accidents that usually happen in Privateers were so effectually guarded against. This he attributes to the abilities of the gentlemen Of Bristol, and remarks that it was owing to this expedition that the spirit of privateering in the South Seas was not totally lost 'in Eng land. The large sums realized had evidently made an endur ing impression, and Harris adds, I might, perhaps, go too far should I assert that this voyage gave rise to the South Sea Company, but this much I can safely say, that the success Of this voyage was what the patrons of that Company chiefly insisted upon in their defence, when the plan of it was attacked as insufficient and chimerical.

Excerpt from List, Ye Landsmen: A Romance of Incident Thus in effect thought I, as I stood upon the quarter-deck of the Royal Brunswick, viewing the noble elevation of the white South Foreland Off which_ the ship was then leisurely rolling as she flapped her way to the Downs with her yards squared to the weak westerly breeze; for - to take you into my confidence at once - this part of the coast of Old England I had the best of all reasons for loving. First of all, I was born at Folkestone next, on losing my parents, I was taken charge of by a maternal uncle, Captain Joseph Round, whose house stood on the road between Sandwich and Deal; and then, when I first went to sea, I was bound apprentice to a master sailing out of Dover Harbor; so that this range of coast had peculiar associations for me. Consider. It comprised the sum of my boyish, and of most, therefore, Of my happiest, memories; indeed, I could not gaze long at those terraces of chalk, with their green slopes of down on top, and with clusters of houses between sparkling like frost, and many a lozenge shaped Window glancing back the light of the sun with the clear, sharp gleam of the diamond, without recollection stealing In a moisture Into my eyes.

Yuri Averbakh (1922) is a distinguished Russian chess grandmaster who has enjoyed a long and varied career. He has been a top player, a journalist, an editor, an arbiter, a trainer and a long-time member of the board of the Soviet chess federation. Averbakh won the USSR championship in 1954 ahead of players like Kortchnoi, Petrosian and Geller and was a leading Soviet grandmaster for two decades. In this personal memoir he looks back on his days as an active player on the centre stage of chess, but also on his experiences as a quintessential insider when chess was considered a vital ingredient of life in the Soviet Union. Averbakh observes the world of chess from the moment he walked into the Moscow Chess Club as a 13-year old boy and describes his personal successes, his secret training matches with world champion Botvinnik, the mechanisms and behind-the-scenes dealings in the Soviet Union, including his involvement in the famous matches between Karpov and Kasparov. A unique, revealing and well-told story, essential reading for everybody interested in the history of chess and the Soviet Union.
