St. Vincent's is the oldest institution in California dedicated to the care of boys. It is neither an orphanage, a school for delinquents nor a boarding school. It is a home for boys who have to be away from their own family circle for one of many reasons. Today it cares for some three hundred boys in the same quiet way that is has done for a century. The story in this book contains the little known facts of its beginnings, its growth and its reconstruction. As the life story of this remarkable school unfolds, it seems to take on a personality of its own. That this "Orphan" might be better known to the people of the State of California, which it has served for one hundred years, this work has been undertaken. Besides being the story of one institution, this work reveals the progress made in child care work during the past century.

The British country house has long been regarded as the jewel in the nation's heritage crown. But the country house is also an expression of wealth and power, and as scholars reconsider the nation's colonial past, new questions are being posed about these great houses and their links to Atlantic slavery.This book, authored by a range of academics and heritage professionals, grew out of a 2009 conference on 'Slavery and the British Country house: mapping the current research' organised by English Heritage in partnership with the University of the West of England, the National Trust and the Economic History Society. It asks what links might be established between the wealth derived from slavery and the British country house and what implications such links should have for the way such properties are represented to the public today.Lavishly illustrated and based on the latest scholarship, this wide-ranging and innovative volume provides in-depth examinations of individual houses, regional studies and critical reconsiderations of existing heritage sites, including two studies specially commissioned by English Heritage and one sponsored by the National Trust.
