This book contains two pieces: ÔFacta Non VerbaÕ by Dermot Harold George Tyrrell-Lewis (1925-1973) and ÔBrethren of the CoastÕ by Conrad Esdaile Tyrrell Lewis (1884-1968). Dermot was ConradÕs son.
'Facta Non Verba' traces the genealogy of the Levy, Lewis, Somers Lewis and Tyrrell-Lewis families from around 1770 to 1970. Although written during the 1960s and early 1970s, it is still likely to be of interest to family historians today because of the wide range of sources from which it draws.
'Brethren of the Coast' is Conrad Esdaile Tyrrell Lewis's autobiography. Conrad is best known as the author of a number of sailing books, particularly 'Teach Yourself Sailing' (1947). His autobiography has not previously been published. It continues part of the family story from where Dermot ends.
