 Manchester History and the heritage of Greater Manchester
In early times, Manchester was a little-known hamlet adjacent to, and belonging to the then noble town of Salford.
Manchester became a Baronial Borough (thereby an independent self-governing entity) in 1301, still ruled by the Lord of the Manor, but with an appointed "boroughreeve" (or Mayor) who handled day-to-day administration of the borough.
Manchester was to change very little thereafter until the 16th century.

 Ludwig Wittgenstein [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Wittgenstein's place in the history of philosophy is a peculiar one.
His philosophical education was unconventional (going from engineering to working first-hand with one of the greatest philosophers of his day in Bertrand Russell) and he seems never to have felt the need to go back and make a thorough study of the history of philosophy.
Instead of a complete guide, therefore, what follows is a list of some of Wittgenstein's main works, some of the best secondary material on his work, and a few other works chosen for their accessibility and entertainment value, for want of a better expression.
