If I lived in Wills I would vote for Sam Ratnam. One of the most level headed and intelligent people I've even met.
Hopefully Labor will take this as a sign that their position on Israel Palestine conflict is untenable.
Forgotten books and how to save them
On the Neglected Books site, there is a fine meditation on rescuing forgotten writers and their works from oblivion, and why this is important. As its author Brad Bigelow explains:
I have been searching for neglected books for over forty years and the one thing I can say with unshakeable confidence is that there are more great (and even just

Thanks for that interesting article by Prof Jolle Rollo-Koster, which draws attention to the documentary treasures in store for a new generation of historians while perhaps understating the wealth of evidence accumulated by her own!
The will of one famously independent woman in medieval England is available in the original French with translation & analysis on the resource page at
"The suggestion that paper copies should be preserved of the post-1858 wills only of famous people overlooks the two most important facets of wills as historical documents: they survive for people who otherwise left little record, and they survive in large numbers."
If anyone knows a good , and , preferably in South Oxfordshire, UK please feel free to pass them my way!
In the summer of 2014, paint was stripped away on this building in Whistable, Kent, to reveal a trio of well-preserved painted signs for the Will's tobacco manufacturers. In the subsequent repainting of the wall, the owners flouted tobacco advertising rules and wisely kept the signs visible.This panel is the best preserved of the three, and features the signature of the signwriter that produced the work: Neale Blackman. I've not found anything about him in the few Kent street directories that I have on file.

US will executor service here. Not vetted.
So much for no today.
I have to find a new for my international . I've known this for some time, but today is the day I've begun the search in earnest.
I'm one of those people with no reliable or close friends, so I have to find a service to do it.
This is an issue that affects many so I'll post to the group, Insha Allah.
that professional executor services exist, at least in the UK. See link below.
Some of my estate will likely be in the UK so I may be able to contract with this service. God willing I don't have to be a citizen or resident.
Richard Ovenden wrote on 21 Dec that "Destroying historical wills is foolhardy and short-sighted". Glad to see strong support in value-added comments both in the FT (where there are now 60 comments online, v 3 in the copy archived soon after publication at ), & on birdchan (). Let's hope for a rethink!

Happy to be sitting up doing some more old document reading. And thank goodness again for easy colour/balance graphics processing software to make it more readable! Here a testament testamentar (Scottish will and inventory) from 1648.
Allah gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. And the disbelievers become prideful of the pleasures of this worldly life. But the life of this world, compared to the Hereafter, is nothing but a fleeting enjoyment.

The Record refers to the Preserved Tablet (Al-Law Al-Maf) in which Allah has written the destiny of His entire creation.
Correction: The post incorrectly said Al-Mulk 67 when the verse is from Ar-Rad 13. This was unintentional. It has been corrected.

My brother passed away recently and Im executor of his will. I am sure learning a lot about things. Most of what Ive read does not have see a near the top of the to do list. Im adding it to my list. Cant wait to learn about probate and other things I never learned in school (sarcasm).
If you are an adult who is making a living and has $ and assets in a bank, real estate, stocks and otherwise, EVERYONE regardless of age (but especially those who are married and have children), "should" have a WILL, a Durable Power for Health Care and a Durable Power of Attorney for Finances.
I'm 72 and have had these since I was 50 and, even then, it was too late and should have had them drafted/executed earlier.
Don't forget to include your assets in your estate planning.

"Our bodies are our gardens - our wills are our gardeners." - William Shakespeare
Today I make a will here in Spain. It's supposedly quite a different process from what I'm used to in the US, aside from the language difference! A notary does a lot of the work of writing out the will, not just verifying your identity.
The will governs only one's assets in Spain, but I do need to account for those.

Losing a loved one sucks.
You can make it easier on your family when you shuffle off this mortal coil.
But you have to do it now. You can't come back after you die to help them figure stuff out.
This is so beautiful. From the will of John Atkyns, Scrivener of London, 1640:
".....I give and bequeath unto my most lovinge wife Mary Atkyns, to whome I wish I had more to give, for if I had tenn tymes as much as I have it were nothinge answerable to that which shee hath deserved at my hands for the sweete disposition, love & affectionate care she hath shewed to me and myne."
