| crooked billet history fair: Hatboro Millbrook Society, 2000-02 The Crooked Billet Inn, although no longer standing, remains one of the most recognizable and well-loved spots in Hatboro. It was there where one of Hatboro's founders, John Dawson, operated an inn and eatery, and where George Washington ate and slept during his pursuit of the British Army during the Revolutionary War. It is because of the popularity of the Crooked Billet Inn that Hatboro was often known simply as The Billet. There is no confusing Hatboro for anywhere else, since it is the only town with that name in the United States. First settled in the early 1700s, Hatboro grew to become an industrial and educational giant. Hatboro includes, among many others, exceptional images of the former Loller Academy, which helped Hatboro become an educational center in an otherwise rural area. Also highlighted are the Brewster Aviation Company, and the equipment Brewster manufactured for the military during World War II. Of course, the Crooked Billet Inn and the Battle of Crooked Billet, Willow Grove Park, and the music of John Philip Sousa and Victor Herbert are revisited in these pages, as well as some lesser-known stories, like those of the horrors of having two competing phone companies, and the story of Matilda. |

| crooked billet history fair: The Dumb Show Frédéric Ogée, 1997 During the first half of the eighteenth century in England the 'forces of progress' became increasingly conservative as their grip on power was confirmed. Hogarth's position as the promoter of an authentically English art was therefore ambiguous, considering his origins, the intellectual milieu in which he moved, and the necessity he was under of defending his endeavours against attacks from all sides. The essays in this volume examine this ambiguity, and draw a composite picture of an exceptionally gifted artist, whose social and artistic involvement engaged him in a permanent search for the 'line of beauty', which he found only in a progressive weaving between centre and margins. In pictorial terms, this ambivalence may well account for the 'dramatic' proliferation which is one of the most remarkable characteristics of Hogarth's art. His 'stage', where his men and women, his 'players', were to 'exhibit a dumb show', was a busy crossroads of ideas and influences. The richness and ambivalence of his pictures result from his boldest artistic originality: his adoption of a polycentric stage, on which the 'dumb show' exhibited by his 'players' offers concomitant areas of meaning. Moreover, they invite the beholder to a serpentine act of deciphering and verbalisation which the essays in this volume both describe and materialise. Each from a different perspective - social, artistic, formal, philosophical - explores the characteristics and raison d'etre of that polycentrism in Hogarth's art. Linked thematically to each other, the essays combine to assess the true nature of Hogarth's variety and show the critical consequences of its essential ambivalent sinuosity. |

| crooked billet history fair: The Sound of History Roy Palmer, 1988 Part anthology, part social history, this book explores the relationship between popular song and the events in Britain over the last 400 years that rise to it. On subjects as diverse as crime, war, love, disarmament, politics, and industry, song has always been a vehicle for the expression of popular feeling, often as the voice of the minority or oppressed. Concentrating on the overlapping categories of oral songs, street ballads, and the work of singer/songwriters who employ a traditional idiom, the book presents fifty-four songs in full (forty with music), quotations from many others, a bibliography and discography, and numerous illustrations including facsimile ballads, engravings, and photographs of contemporary scenes. |
