Sobre IBD

This book explores the background to a handwritten manuscript held by the author’s family for over a century. The manuscript is in a leather-bound, recycled cash book, the cover of which states 'MSS. Clarence Hopper. 1850'. The manuscript’s title, in Latin, means 'The lives of some particularly notable governors of the Island of Guernsey'. In 2014, Nigel Capel published 'The Lords Hatton - Governors of Guernsey', in which he supplied a transcription of the text of the manuscript together with notes on the topic and related matters. In this present book, after once more providing Hopper’s annotated narrative, Nigel Capel pursues its background, the reputation of Hopper as an antiquarian commentator and the likely reason for the manuscript having come into the possession of James Hatton-Wood, his maternal grandfather.

  • Doggerel or Verse?
    Nigel Capel
    Nigel Capel was long sceptical of the value of poetry. He was unconvinced that, with a few notable exceptions, poems could ever rival prose, with its utility, flexibility and scope for clarity. He had, after all, spent a lifetime working with prose as a tool of education and for the expression of both fact and opinion, for many years as an Army officer and educator. His leisure...
