Servants of Diplomacy offers a bottom-up history of the 19th-century Foreign Office and in doing so, provides a ground-breaking study of modern British diplomacy. Whilst current literature focuses on the higher echelons of the Office, Keith Hamilton sheds a new light on the administrative and social history of Whitehall which have, until now, been largely ignored.

Masters and Servants
Free Download Masters and Servants By Pierre Michon, Wyatt Mason
2013 | 196 Pages | ISBN: 0300180691 | PDF | 7 MB
One of Pierre Michon's most powerful works, this book imagines decisive moments in the lives of five artists of different times and places: Vincent van Gogh, Francisco Goya, Antoine Watteau, Claude Lorrain, and Lorentino, a little-remembered disciple of Piero della Francesca. Michon focuses on particular moments when artist and model collide, whether that model is a person or a landscape, inner or outer. In the five separate tales he evokes the full passion of the artist's struggle to capture the world in images even as the world resists capture. Each story is a small masterpiece that transcends national boundaries and earns its place among the essential works of world literature.

Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell
Professor of English Paul Kane, "Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1781084548, 1837860033 | EPUB | pages: 384 | 0.6 mb
Late 1895, and Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion Dr John Watson are called upon to investigate a missing persons case. On the face of it, this seems like a mystery that Holmes might relish - as the person in question vanished from a locked room - and something to occupy him other than testing the limits of his mind and body. But this is just the start of an investigation that will draw the pair into contact with a shadowy organisation talked about in whispers and known only as 'The Order of the Gash'. As more and more people go missing in a similar fashion, the clues point to a sinister asylum in France and to the underworld of London. However, it is an altogether different underworld that Holmes will soon discover - as he finds himself face to face not only with those followers who do the Order's bidding on Earth, but those who serve it in Hell: the Cenobites...

English MPs Legislators and Servants of their Constituents, 1750-1800
Michael W. McCahill, "English MPs: Legislators and Servants of their Constituents, 1750-1800"
English | ISBN: 1350332275 | 2023 | 288 pages | PDF | 22 MB
What was the role of elected legislators? Was it to represent the opinions of constituents or to vote according to their informed opinions reflecting the needs of the kingdom? Most authorities have accepted Edmund Burke's depiction of 18th-century MPs, insisting it was their right to form their opinions without reference to the instructions of constituents. This study provides answers to these important questions and, in doing so, reveals that Burke's vision does not represent how the House of Commons functioned during the last two decades of the 18th century.
