Other churches and former churches in the town include the Church of England Christ Church (founded 1836), Holy Trinity Church and St. Bartholomew's Church; Mount Zion United Methodist Church and St John's Methodist Church; Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church; the Salvation Army Hall on Market Place (now a Citizens Advice Bureau); and Trinity Baptist Church.

The Choral Fantasy, Op. 80 (1808), basically a piano concerto movement, brings in a choir and vocal soloists near the end for the climax. The vocal forces sing a theme first played instrumentally, and this theme is reminiscent of the corresponding theme in the Ninth Symphony (for a detailed comparison, see Choral Fantasy). Going further back, an earlier version of the Choral Fantasy theme is found in the song "" (Returned Love) for piano and high voice, which dates from before 1795. According to Robert W. Gutman, Mozart's K. 222 Offertory in D minor, "Misericordias Domini", written in 1775, contains a melody that foreshadows "Ode to Joy".

In his pre-anarchist years, Bakunin's politics were essentially a left-wing form of nationalism, specifically a focus on East Europe and Russian affairs. While at this time he located the national liberation and democratic struggles of the Slavs in a larger European revolutionary process, Bakunin did not pay much attention to other regions. This aspect of his thought dates from before he became an anarchist and his anarchist works consistently envisaged a global social revolution, including Africa and Asia. As an anarchist, Bakunin continued to stress the importance of national liberation, but he now insisted that this issue had to be solved as part of the social revolution.

The name Asahi, meaning "morning sun" in Japanese, dates from before World War II, when it was used for an express train operated by Japan from Rason in Korea (present-day North Korea) to Hsinking in Manchuria (present-day China). It was first used in Japan on 1 November 1960 for services operating between and . This service was renamed Benibana from 1 July 1982. From the start of services on the newly opened Joetsu Shinkansen on 15 November 1982, Asahi was the name used for the limited-stop shinkansen services operating initially between and Niigata, later between and Niigata, and eventually between and Niigata.

The use of the word abacus dates from before 1387 AD, when a Middle English work borrowed the word from Latin to describe a sandboard abacus. The Latin word came from ancient Greek (abax) which means something without base, and improperly, any piece of rectangular board or plank. Alternatively, without reference to ancient texts on etymology, it has been suggested that it means "a square tablet strewn with dust", or "drawing-board covered with dust (for the use of mathematics)" (the exact shape of the Latin perhaps reflects the genitive form of the Greek word, abakos). While the table strewn with dust definition is popular, some disagree, saying that it is not proven.

Christian Science religious activity in Scranton dates from before 1890 when Judge Septimus J. Hanna and his wife came to take charge of the fledgling Christian Science Society. The Hannas left in 1892 for Christian Science world headquarters in Boston where he had been called by Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, to become the editor of the Christian Science Journal.A Biographical Sketch (obituary) of Judge Septimus J. Hanna, C.S.D., from the Pasadena Star-News, Pasadena, California, Monday, July 25, 1921, accessed March 22, 2008 In 1915 the Neoclassical church edifice was erected at 520 Vine Street for the congregation which by then had become First Church of Christ, Scientist, Scranton. The architect was Albert J. Ward.

David Bonnefoy was his brother-in-law and this close relationship and association no doubt brought about the naming of the point from him, and this name for it dates from before 1703 and continued to be used until late in the nineteenth century. As early as 1842, the point was being used for a picnic grove and continued to be so used for nearly half a century under various proprietors. The property came into the ownership of Alexander B. Hudson, from whom it came to be called "Hudson Grove." There had been proposals made before that time that the grove be purchased for use as a public park, but it was not until 1886 that the purchase was made.

1916 disinfected PoW cover from interned Russian in Linz handstamped Desinfizirt Disinfected mail or fumigated mail is mail that has had some form of disinfection or fumigation applied to it by postal authorities, with the intention of preventing the spread of epidemics via letters sent from infected areas. The usual practice was to puncture the envelope with small holes, often in a grid pattern, or to snip off one or more corners, in order to let the fumigation gases in. In addition, a special postal marking may note the disinfection process. The process did not necessarily have a scientific basis; the practice dates from before an understanding of the cause of contagious diseases, and the fumigant was as likely to be based on folklore.

The Cobbe portrait (1610), The Chandos portrait (early 1600s) and the Droeshout portrait (1622): three of the most prominent of the reputed portraits of William Shakespeare. There are only two portraits that definitively portray William Shakespeare, both of which are posthumous. One is the engraving that appears on the title-page of the First Folio, published in 1623, and the other is the sculpture that adorns his memorial in Stratford upon Avon, which dates from before 1623. Experts and critics have argued that several other paintings from the period may represent him, and more than 60 portraits purporting to be of Shakespeare were offered for sale to the National Portrait Gallery within four decades of its foundation in 1856, but in none of them has Shakespeare's identity been proven.

Soft serve in an ice cream cone Soft serve, also known as soft ice, is a frozen dairy dessert, similar to ice cream but softer and less dense as a result of air being introduced during freezing. Soft serve has been sold commercially since the late 1930s in the US. The term soft serve dates from before 1959 (New York Times, June 22, 1958, page F11) In the US, soft serve is not sold prepackaged in supermarkets, but is common at fairs, carnivals, amusement parks, restaurants (especially fast food and buffet), and specialty shops. All ice cream must be frozen quickly to avoid crystal growth. With soft serve, this is accomplished by a special machine that holds pre-mixed product at a very low, but not frozen, temperature at the point of sale.

Nyhavn 1 painted by Anreas Juuel in 1865 Nyhavn 1 in circa 10++ with a "Directly to America" advertisement on the facade Nyhavn 1 and Store Strandstræde 2 were originally two separate properties. Store Strandstræde 2 dates from before 1731. Nyhavn 1 was built in 1753 for metalsmith Peder Jørgensen Ambus. Wine merchant Lars Fogh Rasmusen moved his business, founded two years prior, to Nyhavn 1 in 1776. In 1782, the company was taken over by Peder Handerup (born 1746) who had married Tasmussen's widow, Dorothea (née Helt). In 1792 the company was taken over by Johan Friderich Inselmann (1753-1798) and in 1798 by Niels Hansen (1769-1801). Niels Hansen's widow Bolette Kirstine (née Hvidberg) took over the operations after his death in 1801. In 1808, she married Frantz Diderich Jürgensen (1777-1840) who then took over the company.

Also documented in The Sainsbury Book of Cocktails & Party Drinks is the Straits Sling which was even stronger but also added Benedictine, Angostura Bitters, and Orange Bitters, but its garnish was both lemon and orange slices and it did not have the glacé cherry. What is sometimes served now is a transformation of the Straits Sling with orange and lemon replaced by pineapple juice as content and garnish. While some may call this a Singapore Sling, it most definitely is not so and those that serve this as a Singapore Sling risk having it rejected. Brewer's refers to the gin-sling as "a drink mainly composed of gin and lemon" and states that it has been attributed to bartender John Collins of London, "but it dates from before his time and was found in the U.S.A. by 1800"Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable 1969, pp. 463.

Lunna House dates from before 1663 and was built on the site of a medieval haa (hall), which itself was built on the site of a viking longhouse. The east side of the house (on the right in the picture) was built in the 1660s for Robert Hunter (d.1695). Robert was Chamberlain of the Lordship of Zetland, and a Commissioner of Supply. The house was extended in 1710, 1750, 1810, 1850 and finally between 1897 and 1910, when the south, north and west- sections of this cross-shaped house were built. The house is mainly constructed from stone and lime mortar, except for the newest section (1897-1910) which was made out of early cast concrete. The house was "harled" (covered in early concrete and pebble cladding ) around 1910 to hide the join between the concrete and thick stone sections of the house.

The area where Lustleigh now stands has been inhabited since before records began as shown by the remains of stone hut circles, which can still be seen in the 'Cleave' (meaning 'Cliff' or 'Cleft', which is the defining geological feature of the valley) and the presence of an ancient burial monument "Datuidoc's Stone" which dates from before 600 AD. In the 899 will of King Alfred the Great, a copy of which is in the British Library, Lustleigh (then known as Suðeswyrðe) was left to his youngest son Aethelweard. Whilst the name Lustleigh (or any variation) is not found in the Domesday Book, it is believed that the village was recorded under the name of Sutreworde,A. Jones in the Book of Lustleigh, 2001 Anglo-Saxon for 'south of the wood'. At that time, the Lord of the Manor was Ansgar, who controlled 12 farms of around 1,200 acres (4.9 km²) plus a large area of forest.
