Year 77 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. At the time it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Lepidus, and less it was known as the year 677 AUC). The denomination 77 BC for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years. Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, Roman consul and leader of the democratic party, is defeated by Quintus Lutatius Catulus outside Rome; the remnants of the rebels are wiped out by Gnaeus Pompeius in Etruria. Lepidus, with some 21,000 troops, manages to escape to Sardinia. Soon afterwards he becomes ill and dies, his battered army, now under command by Marcus Perperna, sails on to the Iberian Peninsula. Pompeius marches along the Via Domitia through Gallia Narbonensis crossing the Pyrenees to Spain, he joins with Quintus Metellus Pius to suppress the revolt of Quintus Sertorius, but is at first unsuccessful.

The semipalmated plover is a small plover. The genus name Charadrius is a Late Latin word for a yellowish bird mentioned in the fourth-century Vulgate, it derives from Ancient Greek kharadrios a bird found in ravines and river valleys. The specific semipalmatus is Latin and comes from semi, "half" and palma, "palm". Like the English name, this refers to its only webbed feet; this species weighs 22 -- measures 14 -- 20 cm in length and 35 -- 56 cm across the wings. Adults have a grey-brown back and wings, a white belly, a white breast with one black neckband, they have a brown cap, a white forehead, a black mask around the eyes and a short orange and black bill. Their breeding habitat is open ground on flats across northern Canada and Alaska, they nest on the ground in an open area with no plant growth. They are migratory and winter in coastal areas of the southern United States, the Caribbean and much of South America, they are rare vagrants to western Europe, have been found in Tierra del Fuego and the Isles of Scilly.

Their true status may be obscured by the difficulty in identifying them from the similar ringed plover of Eurasia, of which it was considered a subspecies. Semipalmated plovers forage for food on beaches, tidal flats and fields by sight, they eat insects and worms. This bird resembles the killdeer but has only one band. Since the semipalmated plover nests on the ground, it uses a "broken-wing" display to lure intruders away from the nest, in a display similar to the related killdeer.

William Mudford, was a British writer, translator of literary works and journalist. He wrote critical and philosophical essays and reviews, his 1829 novel The Five Nights of St. Albans: A Romance of the Sixteenth Century received a good review from John Gibson Lockhart, an achievement, considered a rare distinction. Mudford published short fictional stories which were featured in periodicals such as Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Fraser's Magazine, Bentley's Miscellany, his short story The Iron Shroud, about an iron torture chamber which shrinks through mechanical action and crushes the victim inside, was first published in August 1830 by Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, republished separately in 1839 and 1840 with the subtitle "Italian Revenge". Edgar Allan Poe is considered to have been influenced by The Iron Shroud when he wrote The Pit and the Pendulum having got his idea for the shrinking chamber from Mudford's story. Mudford was born in London, he was influenced by John Milton, Joseph Addison, Samuel Johnson, William Cowper, William Collins, Mark Akenside, Thomas Gray, Oliver Goldsmith.

Mudford was born in Half Moon Street, London, on 8 January 1782. He exhibited an interest in political philosophy and attended lectures at the university of Edinburgh where he befriended John Black who, at the time, was a student at the university. Mudford published a series of letters exchanged with Black in William Cobbett's Political Register; the letters centred around a debate about classical education. In the exchanges, Mudford had argued against the merits of classical education, while Black supported the opposite side. In 1810 Mudford published a series of essays under the title The Contemplatist, which were published in instalments in a weekly periodical under the same title, he joined the Morning Chronicle as a parliamentary reporter. Departing from the Chronicle he was employed first as assistant editor, as the editor of the Courier which at the time was an influential evening journal on par with the Times. After he came to a disagreement with the owners of the Courier over policy matters, Mudform resigned from the journal and issued a letter justifying his actions.

His letter drew a lot of attention at the time. In the aftermath of his departure the Courier lost readership and closed while attempts at inviting Mudford back at the journal proved unsuccessful. Mudford has been described by Sir Walter Scott as an author who "loves to play at cherry-pit with Satan.". John H. Collins, analysing the influence of Mudford's work, comments that "the Shroud story is a first rate piece of writing comparable to the best half-dozen works by Poe" and that "it should not just be dismissed as a mere potboiler which the genius of Poe transformed." He goes on to mention that he thinks many readers mistakenly think that the "Iron Shroud" is one of Poe's works thus further strengthening Poe's reputation by attributing to him a story that he plagiarised. In the Dictionary of Literary Biography Mudford's writing is described as vigorous while as a writer he is called a master at creating atmosphere. In the same source, his stories are analysed as lacking the subtlety and psychological depth found in the writings of Edgar Allan Poe but they are described as amusing and entertaining.

In 1803 Mudford published his first novel and Mary known as The Maid of Buttermere: A Domestic Tale. Following that, Mudford made a living occupied by more mundane work such as translating foreign works and editing essays and other literary works, he wrote his second novel Nubilia in Search of a Husband, his response to the popular Coelebs in Search of a Wife by Hannah More and was aimed at capitalising on the market success of the novel by More. As a young man Mudford showed his ambition by contacting powerful men; when only seventeen, Mudford approached the producer of the Covent Garden Theatre John Philip Kemble, with the suggestion of issuing a pamphlet in his honour. Years this was followed by a proposal for a theatrical play, rejected by Kemble; the play itself was subsequently lost. Mudford, at 18, followed the Duke of Kent to Gibraltar as his assistant secretary. Mudford was a supporter of the foreign minister of the era George Canning. Mudford was a close friend and supporter of Samuel Taylor.

At the age of forty he lost a lot of money in speculative ventures in the stock market and had to start again financially. He worked hard and accepted an offer from the conservative party in East Kent to become the editor of the Kentish Observer, he settled in Canterbury and became the owner of the Kentish Observer. He contributed to Blackwood's Magazine and sometimes he wrote a story, a review, a political paper in the same issue, his series of First and Last stories were popular as were his contributions under the nickname of The Silent Member. In 1841 Mudford moved back to London where he succeeded Theodore Hook as editor of the John Bull magazine all the while maintaining his connection with the Kentish Observer. During this period his health started declining but he still kept a busy work schedule. In 1848 he wrote his last article on the topic of the French revolution which appeared in the John Bull on 5 March of the same year. Mudford while employed at the Morning Chronicle met William Hazlitt, working as a journalist there.

A rivalry developed between the two and Hazlitt became one of Mudford's detractors. In Hazlitt's essay in Table-Talk published in 1821 under the title Coffee-House Politicians, Roger
