'The History of David Grieve' is a tale that follows the life of David Grieve, spanning from his rural upbringing in Derbyshire to his adventures as a bookseller in Manchester and his romantic experiences in Paris. Written in the 19th century, this novel offers a fascinating glimpse into the people and places of the time. While the heavily accented speech of the Derbyshire peasantry may take some time to adjust to, it does not detract from the enjoyment readers would get from reading David's journey from rural to urban life. The book also explores the themes of religion and unsatisfactory marriage, portraying the struggle to make an unsuitable marriage work, and the fluctuating religious fervor of the time.

One of the problems which beset the practical conservation of stone buildings is the fragmentation of the disciplines involved. This book, with both volumes now available as one invaluable paperback, brings these disciplines together by the involvement of contributors with different experiences and approaches to the same material. Part one is an introduction to the complexities and background history of stone conservation followed by the most comprehensive description yet produced of the building and decorative stones used in the British Isles. In part two, practitioners involved in stone conservation describe ways in which major structural masonry problems, secondary building problems and different stone surface conditions may be treated. A variety of building types and environments has been used to ensure that the broad scope of common problems is covered. This second part of the book will be of practical value to art historians, archaeologists, architects, surveyors and engineers, masonry contractors and sculpture conservators in solving problems and in learning to use each other's skills and experience.
