From an original Kenny Meadows 1790-1870) Engraving from the Illustrated London News December 1848. From medieval times up to the beginning of the 19th century, every British town and city of any note had a band of waites. Their duties varied from time to time and place to place, but included playing their instruments through the town at night, waking the townsfolk on dark winter mornings by playing under their windows, welcoming Royal visitors by playing at the town gates, and leading the Mayor's procession on civic occasions. As a result of the Municipal Corporations Act of 1835, waits were abolished, though their name lingered on as Christmas Waits, who could be any group of singers or musicians who formed a band in order to sing and ...

Illustration from The Life and Times of Queen Victoria published circa 1901 Info from wiki: The Young Irelander Rebellion was a failed Irish nationalist uprising led by the Young Ireland movement, part of the wider Revolutions of 1848 that affected most of Europe. It took place on 29 July 1848 in the village of Ballingarry, South Tipperary. After being chased by a force of Young Irelanders and their supporters, an Irish Constabulary unit raided a house and took those inside as hostages. A several-hour gunfight followed, but the rebels fled after a large group of police reinforcements arrived. It is sometimes called the Famine Rebellion (since it took place during the Great Irish Famine) or the Battle of Ballingarry. Please note wi...

Founded in 1848, the Daeufer Brewery specialized in classical dark beers and built up a pretty respectable following throughout the midwest. They changed names a few times and expanded their operations along the way, but it wasn't until Daeufer merged with another local brewery, Lieberman Brewing Co., to become Daeufer-Lieberman Brewing Company that they became the first large-scale brewery in Allentown. They continued to produce dark beers like their most popular Bock, almost exclusively, and did so under a number of names, including the original Daeufer's label, but after World War II, the taste of returning G.I.s began leaning towards lighter beers which led to Daeufer-Lieberman closing up shop for good in 1949.

Phineas Gage's head injury. This lithograph, published in 1850, shows the head injury to Phineas Gage (1823-1860) that led to important advances in understanding how the human brain works. Gage was working on the construction of a railway in Vermont, USA, when, on 13 September 1848, an accident with an explosive charge sent a tamping iron (1 metre long and 3.2 centimetres wide) into his head. It passed under his left cheekbone, through the left frontal lobe of his brain, and out through the top of his head. Gage initially appeared to make a full recovery, but it was later reported that his personality had been changed by the accident. Artwork from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences.
