He was born in Ireland, the son of a clergyman, studied law at Trinity College, Dublin, but embraced literature as a career. Brooke began his career as a poet. After a brief writing career, he turned to drama by adapting extant plays, such as 'The Earl of Essex.' He wrote from the Tory point of view and became one of the most important figures in Augustan drama, although not for his successes. This play, 'Gustavus Vasa' (1739) has the distinction of being the first play banned by the Licensing Act of 1737. The play concerned the liberation of Sweden from Denmark in 1521 by King Gustav I of Sweden (then regent). Robert Walpole believed that the villain of the play resembled him. Further, a facetious 'attack' on it was the first public writing of Samuel Johnson, whose 'A Complete Vindication of the Licensers of the English Stage' feigns support for Walpole while it drives the censor's argument to reductio ad absurdum. Brooke lived in Ireland most of his life, but he spent time in London when his plays were on the stage. In politics, he was somewhat radical in arguing publicly for loosening the laws persecuting Roman Catholics in the United Kingdom. His daughter Charlotte Brooke was herself an important figure in the history of Irish literature, publishing 'Reliques of Irish Poetry' (1789) and working to increase the profile of Irish language poetry. Brooke had a difficult life and made a very poor living. The Licensing Act robbed him of his primary avenue to an income. His greatest commercial successes came from the 'Earl of Essex' and his two novels, 'The Fool of Quality' (1760-1772) and 'Juliet Grenville' (1774), which are two of the finest sentimental novels. John Wesley was so fond of 'The Fool of Quality,' in which Brooke declares his belief in universal salvation, that he sought to have a copy of it given out to all new Methodist churches. .

New York City, advocates the more extensive establishment of parks in American cities. The cost of such improvements is readily offset by the increased value of the land adji lining the-parks, which would augment the tax returns to the city. The sections within the city limits which lie on hills or in valleys and arc therefore hardly available for building purposes, can well be reserved for parks. Also the land neighboring on streams would make purposive parks, in that they would prevent the pollution of the stream by sewage. Care must be exercised in allotting the proper amount of space for parks, since too much room is wasteful . . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub, Little, Brown And Company, 1961.

Robert Erwin Johnson was a University of Alabama professor of history and considered "one of the finest scholars of the nineteenth century U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard". Johnson was born in Marshfield, Oregon and enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard in 1941 and served until 1946 on the Haida (WPG-45).After his wartime service at sea as a quartermaster, he attended the Oregon State Agricultural College from 1946 to 1948, then transferred to the University of Oregon, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree and was elected Phi Beta Kappa in 1951. From 1951–52, he served again on active duty in the U.S. Naval Reserve, rising to Petty Officer First Class. On release from active duty, Johnson went on to complete his Master of Arts degree in 1953. Going on for further graduate work, he attended the Claremont Graduate School, where he earned his Ph.D. in 1956 with a thesis on "United States Naval Forces on Pacific Station, 1818–1923" Immediately on completion of his doctoral work in 1956, the University of Alabama appointed him assistant professor in the faculty of history. He was promoted to associate professor in 1963, and to professor of history in 1967. He retired in 1993 after serving as interim chairman of the history department during a critical time of transition for the history department. A member of the Democratic Party, he was also a member of the American Historical Association, Society for Nautical Research, World Ship Society, Naval Historical Foundation, and the United States Naval Institute. He received numerous awards for his publications on naval history, including his book, Guardians of the Sea, which won the Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt Prize in Naval History from the New York Council of the Navy League of the United States, the North American Society for Oceanic History's John Lyman Book Award for the best book in U.S. naval history, and the U.S. Naval Institute's Special Award of Merit.
