Abandoning a military career, Richard Beamish (1798–1873) decided to become a civil engineer. His suitability as a biographer of Sir Marc Isambard Brunel (1769–1849) stems from the period he spent working closely with the Brunels on the Thames Tunnel. Published in 1862, this memoir recounts the elder Brunel's eventful life and work, including his youth in France, his flight to America in the aftermath of the French Revolution, his lesser-known ventures in the early nineteenth century, and the tunnelling project which would consume much of the second half of his life. An informed portrait of a figure who has since been outshone by his more famous son, this book includes first-hand accounts of the ill-fated early attempt to build the Thames Tunnel, which was abandoned in 1828 due to flooding and lack of funds, and of Brunel's vindication upon its eventual completion in 1843.
Edited by the retired politician and archaeologist Sir Austen Henry Layard (1817–94), this 1891 publication reproduces the despatches of Michele Suriano and Marcantonio Barbaro, Venetian ambassadors to France in 1560–1 and 1561–4 respectively. Addressed to the doge of Venice, the documents provide valuable accounts of one of the most fascinating periods of French history, covering the death of Francis II, the accession of Charles IX, the regency of Catherine de' Medici, and the negotiations for the marriage of Mary, Queen of Scots. The documents appear in their original Italian and in English translation. Evident in Suriano's and Barbaro's letters is the underlying tension between French Catholics and Protestant Huguenots, which would culminate in the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572. The book was produced for the Huguenot Society of London, and Layard, the Society's first president, was himself of Huguenot descent.

Le volume restitue l'histoire du cin ma la m moire historique et cin matographique cristallis e dans l'aventure, au sens antonionien, de cet auteur. Avec "Lettre la prison" (1969-70) on est confront un film Nouvelle Vague retrouv , tourn avec une cam ra pr t e par Chris Marker, puis englouti dans un ab me bien pr cis, personnel et historique. La pr face de Marco Bertozzi cite Alberto Grifi, Chris Marker et Jean Rouch, filmmakers "d pays s", constamment la recherche, travers le cin ma, d'un contact avec la r alit . Marc Scialom, juif d'origine italienne, toscane, puis naturalis fran ais, na t Tunis en 1934. Apr s les pers cutions nazies de 1943 en Tunisie, les r percussions sur les Italiens, m caniquement associ s au fascisme pendant la p riode de l'" puration", et le massacre de Bizerte (1961) - que Scialom d nonce dans son court m trage "La parole perdue" (1969) - il s'installe en France. Sa vie s'entrem le, en la "manquant", l'histoire du cin ma: Paris "Lettre la prison", r alis sans producteur et presque "clandestinement", n'est pas soutenu par ses mis cin astes. Il s'agit d'une oeuvre po tique sur la perte d'identit culturelle et personnelle d'un exil arabe en France, qui met indirectement l'accent sur les plaies du (post-)colonialisme et du racisme; le tournage se d roule Marseille, Tunis et Paris. D u, Scialom range son film dans un tiroir. Il revient vers ses origines, se remet l' tude de la langue et de la litt rature italiennes. Il traduit la "Divine Com die" (Le Livre de Poche, 1996). Apr s la red couverte de "Lettre la prison", la restauration et la presentation de ce film en 2008 au Festival International du Documentaire de Marseille, o il obtient une Mention sp ciale du Groupement National des Cin mas de Recherche, Scialom se remet au travail cin matographique avec "Nuit sur la mer" (2012).
