His will (26) mentions his wife Johan, and six children, Alice, who married Simon Norwood, Robert, (c1550—1622, will 35), who married Faith Norwood, then Margaret Hart, Edward, (C1555- 1629,wil1 37), who married Alice xxxx, then Johan Sampson, then Rebecca Thatcher, Johan, Joyce, (1562—????) who married Richard Tomlin, and John. John Sackett was baptised 1564 at St. Laurence and married Ann (Agnes) Sampson in 1588 at St. Peters; his will (36) of 1624 described him as a yeoman of St. Peters. John and Ann Sackett had eight children, Margaret (1589-????), Marie (1591-??'??), William (1594-1679), John (1597-1664), Robert (1599-1599), Richard (1601-1636), Ann (1603- ????), and Stephen (cl605—l678). Margaret’s second husband, Thomas Cleybrooke, was vicar of Swalecliffe, Kent. and two of her brothers, John junior and Stephen, became vicars. John Sackett junior matriculated in 1614, and on 20 May 1614 he was admitted to Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University, Cambridge, where he was a contemporary of Oliver Cromwell. It would indeed be interesting to know whether they were acquainted! He obtained his B.A. in 1617/18, and was ordained as a deacon in London on 12 March 1619/20, supposedly aged 27 years. (If this was true, he was 4 years old when http ://freepages.genealogy. rootsweb.com/~sackett/saga2. htm 02/07/02 New Page 1 Page 2 Of 7 baptised in 1597 at St. Peters, which is unlikely.) He gained his M.A. in 1621, and was made a priest at Peterborough on 24 September 1621, following which he transferred to Oxford University where he was incorporated on 9 August 1622. He was awarded his B.D. in 1628. John had returned to Kent by March 1623/24, when he signed the parish register at Herne as curate. There may have been an element of nepotism about his appointment, as the family of Thomas Sackett (of unknown relationship to John) was already living at Herne when John arrived. With his church career launched, John wasted no time in getting married to Elizabeth Rogers, aged 15, on 19 April 1624 at Denton, Kent. Sadly, she was still only 18 years old when she died just three years later, being buried at Eythorne, Kent, on 8 November 1627. His marriage to his second wife, Sarah, was some time before 1630, but the record has not yet been located. In 1625 & 1626, John’s neat secretary hand appears in the registers of Great Mongeham, Kent, which he signed as curate. Promotion came, and he was rector of Betteshanger. Kent from 1626 to 1628. He then returned to Great Mongeham as rector, holding the post through the upheavals of the Civil War, the abolition of bishops during Cromwell’s Commonwealth, and the Restoration of King Charles 11. Whatever his private views, he was evidently adept at tailoring his public face to the current tide of church politics, as is made clear in the following excerpt from notes written for Archbishop Sancroft when he entered into his duties as an archdeacon soon after the Restoration:— Mungeham Magna:— Value £120. Patron the Archbishop. Incumbent Mr John Sackett kept in all these last times, Presbyterian heretofore but now conformable, speaks much of being well known and beloved by Sir Thomas Meers. The Church much out of repayre, preaches in _ve chancell, parish much infected with sectaryes (ie non-conformists). One third of ye parish at least absentees from the Church, noe surplice. From 1628 to 1646 John was also rector of Eastbridge, Canterbury, and he was Master of Eastbridge Hospital from C1631 to 1660. The Hospital was founded next to the River Stour in the late 12”‘ century to accommodate poor pilgrims to the shrine of St. Thomas Becket. It was re-founded in the reign of Elizabeth I for housing old people, which is still its use, and it includes a 13”‘ century chapel where presumably John held services. http ://freepages.genealogy. rootsweb.com/~sackett/saga2. htm 02/07/02 Eastbridge Hospital, Canterbury In February 1649/50, John was involved in a Chancery Court case when Ann Eastman, widow of Edward Eastman, accused John and his brother Stephen of claiming to own six tenements which had been left to her late husband Edward by his father John Eastman in their marriage agreement, to provide her with security if she outlived Edward. John's answer was that he owned the land on 21 April 1630, long before becoming Master of Eastbridge Hospital, and leased it to Edward Eastman, who failed to do the repairs he was responsible for, and fell into arrears with the rent. Surcharge was made in the name of his brother, Richard Sackett, on circa 1 June 1635. Therefore the land could not have been left to her by the Eastmans as they had no right to it. Lengthy witness statements supported John’s version of events. A year later judgement was given against Ann, but John agreed to pay her £10 and to allow her a lease to live in one of the SIX tCl1CITl€YltS. John and Sarah Sackett had 10 children, Sarah (l630—????), John (1631- 1680), Anne (1634—post 1657), Nathaniel (1636-1682), Daniel (1638- ????), Margaret (1640-????), George (c.1642—????), Samuel (????-1680), Elizabeth, and Patience. Two of them, John and George, followed their father into the church. Ann was the plaintive in a Chancery Court case in May 1657, complaining that she had not received the £20 she had been left in the will of her “cozen” Samuel Frisby. The defendant was Samuel’s brother George Frisby, who claimed that Samuel’s estate had been insufficient to meet all his bequests, after debts had been paid. No record of a final judgement has been found; they may have settled out of court. It is probable that Sarah, Anne, and Daniel died young, as they were not mentioned in their father’s will, but the Great Mongeham registers have the usual Civil War and Commonwealth gap 1640/1 to 1660/1. John was buried 24 August 1664. He died a wealthy man; his will (43) leaves a total of £900, and lands, tenements & a malthouse at Great Mongeham and on Thanet. John’s name appears on several surviving Lay Subsidy rolls. In 1629/30 he had £3 in land on which he paid l2/- to 14/- tax. In 1642/3 he had £2 in land and paid l6/- rates. He also made a contribution of £1-10s to the Collection for the Relief of Distressed http ://freepages.genealogy. rootsweb.com/~sackett/saga2. htm Page 3 of 7 02/07/02 New Page 1 Page 4 of 7 Protestants (in Ireland) made throughout England in 1641/2. In the 1664 Hearth Tax returns, he had 6 hearths (a large vicaragel), and a non- chargeable empty cottage. John’s brother Stephen Sackett attended St. John’s School, Thanet, and matriculated in 1621. He was said to be 15 years old on 20 June 1621 when admitted to Sidney Sussex College. He gained his B.A. in 1624/5, his M.A. in 1628, and a further B.A. from Oxford on 25 June 1631. Stephen was vicar of St. Cosmos in Blean, Kent from 1632 to 1672, and of West Hythe, Kent from 1633 to 1679, so like his brother he managed to weather the storms of the Civil War, the Commonwealth, and the Restoration. He appears to have spent most of his time at Blean, an impression supported by the following extract from Archaeologia Cantiana, “Vicars of St. Mary, Westhythe”:- Stephen Sackett MA: instituted 2"d November 1633 on death of last incumbent Patron: William Kingsley, Archdeacon. Early in June 1632 Mr Sackett was instituted to the Vicarage of SS Cosmos & Damianus, Blean, on the presentation of John Boys, Esq. and the Rev. John Sackett S.T.B., Master of Eastbridge Hospital, Canterbury. Early in November the following year, Archdeacon Kingsley presented him to Westhythe. This seems to have necessitated his resignation of Blean, to which, however, he was instituted a second time in March 1634 on the presentation of the Rev. John Sackett, Master of Eastbridge Hospital. He held both benefices until his death in 1679. He paid occasional visits to Westhythe, and in October 1663 performed three Christenings there, a fourth being taken by Mr Hart of Burmarsh. A little later a memorandum by Mr Sackett occurs on one of the Transcripts, which presents a melancholy view of Church life in the district at that time :- Burials in the parish we haue none, nor noe plase of burying, or Marrying.‘ our church defaced: Lymph, the parish to which we should resort for religeous exercises, hauing nae Minister is seldome supplyed by any, & our Register should be kept at Limbe Church (Llmph & Limbe are both Lympne) Steph: Sackett Stephen married Alice Frisby, aged 17, on 16 July 1632 in his brother’s church at Great Mongeham. They had seven children, Sarah (1633-1712), Damaris (1635—‘??‘??), Stephen (1638-1653), Mary (1640-????), George (1643-1643), Patience (1645—???‘.7), and Anne (1647-1647). In his will (45) of 1678, Stephen left his wife all she brought on marriage and £5, land on Thanet and the remainder of his goods to Sarah, and £1 each to his other surviving daughters, Damaris, Patience, and Mary, and to two grandchildren. Clearly he was comfortably off, but not as wealthy as his brother John. Stephen’s name appears on the Lay Subsidy Roll of 1641/2, owning £2 land on which he paid 16/- rates. In the same year he made a contribution http ://freepages.genea|ogy. rootsweb.com/~sackett/saga2. htm 02/07/02 New Page 1 Page 5 of 7 of 20/— to the Collection for the Relief of Distressed Protestants, and his name appears on the 1641/2 Protestation Returns — migell On the return for Cosmos & Damian “Stephen Sackett (vicar)” is written in his own neat hand, but the Whitstable return has “Mr Stephen Sackett parson” written in an unfamiliar cursive hand. On the Hearth Tax return for 1664, he paid for 4 hearths, and at Michaelmas 1671. he was assessed for 5 hearths, a substantial building. Rev. John Sackett’s sons, John and George, both started their education at Sutton School, Canterbury, where George was taught by Mr Thomas Brett. John moved to the Merchant Taylors School in London, where he matriculated in 1647. He was admitted to Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, on 6 July 1647, gaining his B.A. in 1650/51 and his M.A. in 1654. George matriculated in 1658 at Sleaford School, where he was taught by Mr Thomas Gibson, then followed the family tradition and was admitted to Sidney Sussex College on 27 April 1658, gaining his B.A. in 1661/62 and his M.A. in 1665. Little is known of either man’s career, but John was appointed a prebendary at Lincoln in 1664, the year of his father’s death. George was ordained as a priest at Lincoln on 6 June 1669. Their widowed mother, Sarah Sackett, moved to Braunston, Lincolnshire, where she died in 1676. Her will (44a) was witnessed by George Sackett. His brother Samuel, gent., was living in Braunston when he wrote his will (46a) on 16 May 1680 shortly before he died, naming brother John, clerk of Braunston, as executor. John himself died a few months later, and as his will (46b) which was proved on 4 November 1680 made no mention of his brother George, it is probable that he was already dead. There is no evidence from any of the wills that John, George, or their brother Samuel ever married, but research is needed in Lincolnshire parish records to check this. In his will, John of Braunston left all his lands and tenements on Thanet to his surviving brother Nathaniel, with reversion to his son John (C1670- 1753), who was destined to be the last of the vicars. Nathaniel himself died in 1681/82, at which time his son John was still a schoolboy. In Nathaniel’s will (48), John was left a messuage, appurtenances and lands at Sackett’s Hill in the parishes of St. Peter and St. John, Thanet, to be run by his mother, Anne, until he was 21, and he was to be “sent to university soon as fitting”. John’s education began at Kings School, Canterbury. He matriculated from Pembroke College at Easter 1686 and was admitted to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge in 1688. He gained his B.A. in 1690/91, and was ordained as a deacon at Lincoln on 12 February 1692/93. Following his M.A. in 1694, he was ordained as a priest in London on 8 March 1695/96. He was curate of Folkestone, Kent from 1699 to 1753, and preached the sermon at the Archbishop’s Visitation on 23 May 1702. Another pluralist, he was also rector of Hawkinge, Kent from 1713 to 1753, vicar of West Hythe, Kent from 1732 to 1753, and Master of Eastbridge Hospital, Canterbury from 1746 to 1753. He was known as an antiquary, poet and epigrammatist, and in 1747 Gentleman’s Magazine published a translation of John’s distich “Ad Uxorem” http ://freepages.genea|ogy. rootsweb.com/~sackett/saga2. htm 02/07/02 New Page 1 Page 5 Of 7 Make of our house a beehive, spouse ! Be waspish '. Drones attack ! But be to me a busy bee, Be honey to old Sack. In his book “The Sacketts of America”, Weygant claimed John wrote a scientific work in 1716, “Sinking of the Earth near Folkestone, Kent” (although I have yet to confirm this). John married twice, but does not appear to have had any children. He obtained a licence to marry Margaret Tempest on 24 October 1702; no record of the marriage has yet been located. She died on 21 November 1727, and he married Margaret Lunn at St. Alphage. Canterbury on 22 April 1729. When he died, J0hn’s will (55) left everything to his wife. He was buried 28 January 1753 at Hawkinge. Margaret moved to Barham, Kent where she made an extremely detailed will (59) in 1766. She was buried, aged 91, at Denton on 23 March 1769. John’s career is confirmed by the following extract from Archaeologia Cantiana, “Vicars of St. Mary, Westhythe” which also sheds light on the character of his wife (although I suspect the author may have confused Margaret Tempest, who died in 1727, with his second wife Margaret Lunn, who would have been alive to receive a bequest in 1743.) John Sackett MA: instituted 14th June 1732, on cess (ation) of the last (incumbent) Patron: Samuel Lisle, Archdeacon. Of Corpus Coll., Cambridge. BA 1690, MA 1694. He was appointed to the cure of Folkestone in 1699. Three years later he married Mrs Margaret Tempest, a lady of Patricksbourne, whose goodness of heart was so gratefully appreciated by the Rev. Henry Bilton, Rector of Cheriton. that at his decease, in 1743, he bequeathed to her £300, desiring her “to accept of the same as a Gratuity for the trouble and Care she has had of me”. In November 1713 the Rev. Robert Daniel, Rector of Hawkinge, died, and Archbishop Temson conferred the vacant benefice on Mr Sackett, who was instituted the following January. In 1732 Archdeacon Lisle presented him to Westhythe; and in March 1746/7 Archbishop Potter conferred on him the Mastership of Eastbridge Hospital, Canterbury. All these preferments were held by him at the time of his death. Saga 1. SACKETT STARTERS — Late Mediaeval Period Saga 3. WHY MY SACKETTS MOVED FROM THANET TO LONDON Saga 4.

I guess we can take Venn's compilation as accurate but it is at first sight puzzling that there are differences compared with Weygant's earlier version which he obtained from the registrar of the University, J N Clark, via Fred J Sackett. On checking my records more carefully it is clear that, somewhere along the line (Clark, Fred Sackett, Weygant, or Weygant's printer), errors have crept in and two of Weygant's three GEORGES should in fact have been JOHNS. I recall trying to identify these clerical Georges some years ago — no wonder I did not get far! BTW, I note that the Sacketts in Weygant's list were each written with only one ‘T’ and Weygant deduced from this that this was ‘the way in which the name is spelled at and in the vicinity of Cambridge, Eng.‘ The Sacketts in Venn's list have two Ts. As previously observed, the spelling matters not a jot, but it would be interesting nevertheless to see the original manuscript entries. Note that these four Sacketts are descendants of William Sackett of Jordan Down (line 001). Their relationship to Simon the colonist (tree 007) is not yet known. > SACKETT, JOHN > College: SIDNEY > Entered: 1614 > Born: > Died: Aug. 24, 1664 > Adm. pens. at SIDNEY, May 20, 1614.

(Why not?) With so many John Sacketts around I cannot be certain which one this is (and we could find that his name was really George anyway!!). My best guess is that this is Rev John Sackett, b c1670, d 1753, s of Nathaniel Sackett and Ann Terry; m 1 Margaret Tempest 1702, 2 Margaret Lunn 1729. Nathaniel was another s of the Rev John 1596-1664 (above). This Rev John (cl670—1753) would then be the grandson of Rev John 1596-1664, a great nephew of Rev Stephen (above), and nephew of Rev John 1631-1680 and of Rev George. (I hope you are paying full attention — there could be questions on this later!). Before you ask, Nathaniel was not a cleric; he was a ‘gentleman of Canterbury‘. Regards, Chris (Still training to be a gentleman of Guernsey!) PS to Ruth (& All) I don't think this gets us any closer to solving the Ely/Cambridge question. Clearly Simon the colonist must have known the Rev John as he (Rev John) was b in the same parish as Simon (St Peter in Thanet) and they were only one year apart in age (1596 & 1595 respectively — although the record 'Ord. deacon (London) Mar. 12, l6l9—20, age 27' suggests a b date of 1592-93 for John). John went up to Cambridge at the age of 18 but it would seem likely that he spent his boyhood in Thanet. One can imagine them playing together as children. As noted above we have not figured how Simon was related to this branch of the family. By the time of Simon's emigration. John was rector of Great Mongeham, a village about 15 miles south of St Peter's. I still find no evidence of Simon ever having been in the Isle of Ely — but, of course, an absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Thomas Smith, whose paternal grandmother was a Sackett, has been researching his family history for nine years, discovering that his ancestors played an active role in shaping what was to become the United States of America — from building infrastructure to aiding flee- ing black slaves. He said: “The journey of my Sackett family from Thanet to the new colony of Massachusetts and throughout New England, New York and Pennsylvania, tells the story of America. “They have spread to her furthest borders, and been her farmers, doc- tors, lawyers, merchants, warriors and legislators. They embody the spirit, adventure and freedom and hard work that made America the leader among nations that it is today. “Each may not have achieved their personal dreams, but together their accomplishments have become what is the ‘American Dream’.” ANCESTOR: Mr Smith’s great- great-grandfather William W Sackett (1 836-191 5) Mr Smith, who lives in Clinton, Connecticut, is among more than [30 members of the family from America who are heading for Thanet for a reunion this month. In 1630, Simon Sackett left the vi1~ lage of St Peter’s, with his wife Isabel and their young son Simon and arrived as the first settlers in Newtown, now Cambridge in Massachusetts. Mr Smith, 64, said he has often speculated why the family chose to embark on such an arduous and uncertain journey into the unknown.‘ BACK HOME: Thomas Smith in Sacketts Hill, St Peter's, Thanet There was strong reason, he said, to believe his ancestor left as part of a larger group seeking religious free- dom and also for financial reasons because he was not the firstborn son and could expect little in the way of inheritance. By the 1700s Mr Smith’s ancestors had become great landowners and at one time Joseph Sackett, a judge who was active in the church and town affairs, owned 6,000 acres in the area of New Windsor, New York. Along with his brother—in-law he ran a freight and passenger ferry service up the Hudson River into New York City. During the American War of Independence, when the 13 British colonies rebelled against rule from London, the service was used to transport troops to join General George Washington in Boston. The Sackett Family Association, which researches and records histor- ical and genealogical data on Sackett descendants worldwide, provides quarterly newsletters for its mem- bers and also holds regular reunions. Arabella Sackett, who lives in London, is organising this years reunion in Ramsgate, which is being held from September 17-21. For more information visit www.sackettfamilyinfo.

Blanche 2001 As I had already said on the page about the Church at Goodnestone, this is an "Estate Village'' and this is the Estate. The actual house, as shown above, was originally built between 1700 and 1704 by Brook Bridges who had purchased the house from the Engeham family and a monument to Sir Edward Engeham and his family still remains in the nearby Chu e,,_l:,l.c;,ly_,__,,C__r_g,s,_,§_. The were two subsequent alterations by the 3rd an 5th Baronet including the moving of the entrance hall from the East side of the house to the West side during the last restoration. The work was carried out between 1844 and 1845 by Rickmann and Hussey of Birmingham who had remodeled the Church five years previously. Perhaps the 5th Baronet thought it better to try out this firm on the Church before starting on the house?!! Without going into a huge amount of detail, the house and grounds passed down through the family to the present day. The family had a close connection to the Fitzwalter family through marriage and in 1841, Sir Brook William tried to claim the ancient Barony of Fitzwalter. He was unsuccessful at that time but did later obtain the Fitzwalter name by letters patent in 1868 after a long and distinguished political career. However, he died without having any children and his brother who inherited the title, also had the same aversion to producing progeny. The title to the land passed to a sister who married into the Plumptre family and their Grandson was able to reclaim the Fitzwalter title in 1924. The title again became dormant after his death but was again reclaimed by his nephew in 1953. FE. Blanche Th§©P§§kB7;fc°,,°ed2§3§°"e The third daughter of Sir Brooke Bridges, the 3rd Baronet, Elizabeth married Edward Austin in 1791. Edward was later to take the name Knight and was the eldest brother of Jane Austin. Edward and Elizabeth lived at Rowling, part of the Godmersham Estate and Jane was a regular visitor here. I have made reference on the page about the local Church that the gardens are open in the Spring and Summer and opening times are usually printed in the local newspapers. When I went there this Spring I arrived a little early and happened to meet Lord Fitzwalter as he was preparing to open for the day. He is obviously very proud of his gardens and quite rightly so. http://www.digiserve.com/peter/goodnestone-p1.htm 29/05/03 KENT RESOURCES: Goodnestone Park, Goodnestone (next Wingham), Kent, E...

The date of the house is scratched onto a brick on the main front, During the early 18th century the house was surrounded by extensive formal gardens recorded in a view by William Harris. These disappeared later in the 18th century when Sir Brook Bridges, the 3rd baronet and great-grandson of the builder, replaced the gardens with a landscape park in the fashion of the time. The park and house as altered by the 3rd baronet were again recorded in a view by Arthur Devis. The 3rd baronet was responsible for two of the most significant pieces of family history for Goodnestone. He married Fanny Fowler who was a co-heiress of the ancient Norman barony of FitzWalter established in 1295 by the grandson of Robert FitzWa|ter who had forced King John to sign the Magna Carta in 1215. Throughout the Tudor period the Fitzwalters were leading courtiers and politicians and became the Earls of Sussex. The widow of the 3rd Earl of Sussex, the sister Sir Philip Sydney, founded Sydney Sussex College, Cambridge. Sir Brook Bridges and Fanny Fowler's daughter, Elizabeth, married Edward Austen, brother of the famous author Austen. Edward and his young wife spent their early married life in a house on the Goodnestone estate before ms nearby Godmersham. Elizabeth was a favourite relative for Jane Austen (her daughter Fanny later became one c Jane's favourite correspondents) and Jane was a regular guest at Goodnestone during their years there. It is sigr that she began writing her first novel, Pride and Prejudice, immediately after staying at Goodnestone in 1796. The next period of important alterations to the Goodn« gardens came during the 1840s. Sir Brook Bridges 5t Baronet decided to change the entrance to the house adding the imposing portico to what had been the bac to which a new approach drive swept down from both Within the curve of the drive he made a series of terre lawns with central flights of steps. On the other side vi the entrance had been, he again terraced the lawns b the house and the park which he divided from the gar with the present wall. Towards the end of the 19th century the last of the Br family, a sister of the last baronet, married a member Plumptre family and their son, Henry Plumptre, was eventually able to successfully claim the ancient Fitzv barony in 1924, after it had been in abeyance for 168 years. He was succeeded in 1952 by his nephew, the press FitzWa|ter, who married Margaret Deedes, sister of the famous journalist and politician, Bill Deedes (Lord Deede: Aldington). They have five sons and fifteen grandchildren. Between the two world wars Emmy FitzWa|ter, the present Lord Fit2Walter's aunt, made significant improvement: gardens, notably the woodland garden with its rockwork and pool.

There is a carving by Louis Francois Roubillac (about 1702/5 to 1762) commemorating Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke (1678-1751). Henry was a considerable statesman, writer and orator. As a Tory with Harley in the administration serving Queen Anne (1665-1714), his negotiation of the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession, was considered a substantial triumph. He is said to have been less successful than he might otherwise have been because he was such an egotist and a rake. He had to spend some time in exile in France because he had plotted against the enthronement of George I (1660-1727). In France he was for a time secretary to James Stewart (1688-1766), the Old Pretender. Henry married Mary Clara des Champs de Marcilly, a niece of the extraordinary Madame de 2 Maintenon (1635-1719). His political writings had considerable influence. He advocated a monarchy in the mould of the 20th century to be above faction and to represent the nation. Edward Wynter who died in 1686 is commemorated as a definitely more physical, not to say macho, kind of a guy. Alone unarmed a Tigre he opprest And crushed to death ye monster of a beast. Thrice-twenty mounted Moors he overthrew Singly on foot, some wounded, some he slew Dispers'd ye rest; what more could Samson do!

Henry St. John Bolingbroke was born in Battersea in 1678. He was educated at Eton and Oxford, after which he traveled about two years on the continent. In 1700, shortly after his return, he married the daughter of Sir Henry Winchcomb, from whom he soon separated. Up to this period, he was chiefly known for his extreme dissipation but, after entering parliament in 1701, he devoted himself to politics, joined the Tory party, and soon made himself prominent as an orator. In 1704 he was made secretary of war and retained this office until 1708 when the Whigs came into power, after which he retired from politics and applied himself to study. After resignation, Bolingbroke retained great influence as the queen's favorite counselor. On the fall of the Whig party in 1710, he was made secretary of state for foreign affairs. In 1712, he was called to the house of lords by the title of Viscount Bolingbroke and in 1713, against the wishes of nearly the entire nation, concluded the peace of Utrecht. Having previously quarreled with his old friend Harley, now the Earl of Oxford and his most powerful rival, he contrived his dismissal in July 1714. Bolingbroke immediately proceeded to form a strong Jacobite ministry in accordance with the well-known inclinations of his royal mistress, whose death a few days after threw into disorder his dangerous and unprincipled schemes. The accession of George I was a deathblow to Bolingbroke's political prospects, on August 28 he was deposed from office, in March 1715 he fled to France and, in August 1715 he was attainted. For some time he held the office of secretary of state to the Pretender, but his restless and ambitious spirit yearned for the ‘large excitement‘ of English politics. Bolingbroke's efforts to obtain a pardon were not successful and he retired to a small estate which he had purchased near Orleans. In 1718 his first wife died and, in 1720, he married the rich widow of the Marquis de Vilette. A prudent use of this lady's wealth enabled him to return to England in September 1724. His property was restored to him, but he was never permitted to take his seat in parliament. He therefore removed himself to his villa at Dawley, near Uxbridge, where he occasionally enjoyed the society of Swift, Pope, and others of his old friends with whom he had corresponded in his exile. It was at Dawley where Bolingbroke diversified his moral and metaphysical studies by his attacks on the ministry in his periodical the Craftsman, in which the letters forming his Dissertation on Parties first appeared. In 1735, finding his political hopes clouded forever, he went back to France and continued to live there until 1742. During his second residence abroad, he wrote his Letters on the Study of History in which he violently attacked the Christian religion. He died on October 1, 1751, after a long illness. His talents were brilliant and versatile; his style of writing was polished and eloquent; but his fatal lack of sincerity and honest purpose, and the low and unscrupulous ambition which made him scramble for power with a selfish indifference to national security, hindered him from looking wisely and deeply into any question. His philosophical theories are not profound, nor his conclusions solid, while his criticism of passing history is worthless. PHILOSOPHY. Bolingbroke's philosophical writings were mostly unprinted until after his death, when David Mallet published a five-volume collection of Bolingbroke's works. The philosophical portions of this collection display his dependence on Locke, who Bolingbroke acknowledged as his "master." Using Locke's ideas and his own, Bolingbroke attempts to explain how one attains knowledge and what its limits are, as well as asserting his own beliefs about God and religion. In doing so, he makes virulent attacks on previous philosophers such http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/b/bolingbr.htm 12/04/01 Henry St. John Bolingbroke (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Page 2 of 2 as Plato, Malebranche, and Berkley. Following Locke, Bolingbroke distinguishes between ideas of sensation and ideas of reflection. Borrowing further from Locke, he calls these "simple ideas" and says they are the materials out of which complex ideas are made. He goes on to say that although one may not understand the process by which objects produce sensory perceptions, one can know they do so. Likewise, one may not know how the will causes action, such as the movement of an arm, but this does not hinder one from knowing it is the will which causes it. He presents these beliefs as clear and obvious and in no need of being questioned. Bolingbroke gives less power, than does Locke, to the mind concerning its ability to combine ideas within itself, putting this power in nature instead. Bolingbroke also maintains that nature (the observable world) serves as a reliable guide, and error comes when one uses one's faculties out of accordance with nature. Bolingbroke is known for being a Deist. He asserts there is a God, and proving this by reason is possible. However, this God is not at all like humans, and Bolingbroke speaks of anthropomorphism with contempt. Instead, he says God is so dissimilar to human beings, the distance between them is unimaginable and no comparison between the two is possible. Bolingbroke uses the cosmological argument to demonstrate there is a God, but goes on to assert that this God is omnipotent and omniscient and always does what is best. (Bolingbroke even claims this is the best of all possible worlds.) In order to defend his view of God's transcendence, Bolingbroke says that while one can be certain God knows everything, one can never comprehend the way in which He knows things, and goes as far as to say God's manner of knowing cannot be understood by human beings. God's morality is equally beyond human understanding. Our moral values are based solely on our existence as social beings who cannot live lives of isolation or follow a path of pure selfishness. These morals can be discovered by reason. While they arise out of the nature of things created by God, they are in no way indicative of a divine sense of morality. God created the world, and the nature of the world determines morality. However, this nature does not reflect the character or nature of God. Bolingbroke states Christianity was originally a "complete" and "very plain system of religion," was actually no more than the "natural religion," and Jesus did not teach anything more than could be discovered by reason. Bolingbroke expresses regret that Christian teachings did not remain at their initial, simple level, and wishes they had never been corrupted by such systems as Platonism, which he regards as the product of mere imagination. His understanding of religion furthermore denies the validity of prayer by insisting one could not come into contact with one's deity, denigrates the importance of the crucifixion in Christianity, and suggests one cannot know whether or not there is a soul which survives the death of the body. IEP http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/b/bolingbr.htm 12/O4/01 1 : INTRODUCTION Page 1 of 2 Prov I I .C,.QI,1I.C..I1.[..§ INTRODUCTION Francois Marie Arouet, who called himself Voltaire, was the son of Francois Arouet of Poitou, who lived in Paris, had given up his office of notary two years before the birth of this his third son, and obtained some years afterwards a treasurer's office in the Chambre des Comptes. Voltaire was born in the year 1694. He lived until within ten or eleven years of the outbreak of the Great French Revolution, and was a chief leader in the movement of thought that preceded the Revolution. Though he lived to his eighty—fourth year, Voltaire was born with a weak body. His brother Armand, eight years his senior, became a Jansenist. Voltaire when ten years old was placed with the Jesuits in the College Louis—le—Grand. There he was taught during seven years, and his genius was encouraged in its bent for literature; skill in speaking and in writing being especially fostered in the system of education which the Jesuits had planned to produce capable men who by voice and pen could give a reason for the faith they held. Verses written for an invalid soldier at the age of eleven won for young Voltaire the friendship of Ninon l'Enclos, who encouraged him to go on writing verses. She died soon afterwards, and remembered him with a legacy of two thousand livres for purchase of books. He wrote in his lively school—days a tragedy that afterwards he burnt. At the age of seventeen he left the College Louis—le—Grand, where he said afterwards that he had been taught nothing but Latin and the Stupidities. He was then sent to the law schools, and saw life in Paris as a gay young poet who, with all his brilliant liveliness, had an aptitude for looking on the tragic side of things, and one of whose first poems was an "Ode on the Misfortunes of Life." His mother died when he was twenty. Voltaire's father thought him a fool for his versifying, and attached him as secretary to the Marquis of Chateauneuf; when he went as ambassador to the Hague. In December, 1713, he was dismissed for his irregularities. In Paris his unsteadiness and his addiction to literature caused his father to rejoice in getting him housed in a country chateau with M. de Caumartin. M. de Caumartin's father talked with such enthusiasm of Henri IV. and Sully that Voltaire planned the writing of what became his Henriade, and his "History of the Age of Louis XIV.," who died on the 1st of September, 1715. Under the regency that followed, Voltaire got into trouble again and again through the sharpness of his pen, and at last, accused of verse that satirised the Regent, he was locked up--on the 17th of May, 1717--in the Bastille. There he wrote the first two books of his Henriade, and finished a play on OEdipus, which he had begun at the age of eighteen. He did not obtain full liberty until the 12th of April, 1718, and it was at this time--with a clearly formed design to associate the name he took with work of high attempt in literature--that Francois Marie Arouet, aged twenty—four, first called himself Voltaire. Voltaire's OEdipe was played with success in November, 1718. A few months later he was again banished from Paris, and finished the Henriade in his retirement, as well as another play, Artemise, that was acted in February, 1720. Other plays followed. In December, 1721, Voltaire visited Lord Bolingbroke, who was then an exile from England, at the Chateau of La Source. There was now constant literary activity. From July to October, 1722, Voltaire visited Holland with Madame de Rupelmonde. After a serious attack of small- pox in November, 1723, Voltaire was active as a poet about the Court. He was then in receipt of a pension of two thousand livres from the king, and had inherited more than twice as much by the death of his father in January, 1722. But in December, 1725, a quarrel, fastened upon him by the Chevalier de Rohan, who had him waylaid and beaten, caused him to send a challenge. For this he was arrested and lodged once more, in April, 1726, in the Bastille. There he was detained a month; and his first act when he was released was to ask for a passport to England. Voltaire left France, reached London in August, 1726, went as guest to the house of a rich merchant http://www.literatureproject.com/letters-voltaire/letters-voltaire_1.htm 12/04/01 1 : INTRODUCTION Page 2 of 2 at Wandsworth, and remained three years in this country, from the age of thirty—two to the age of thirty-five. He was here when George I. died, and George 11. became king. He published here his Henriade. He wrote here his "History of Charles XII." He read "Gu11iver's Travels" as a new book, and might have been present at the first night of The Beggar's Opera. He was here whet Sir Isaac Newton died. In 1731 he published at Rouen the Lettres sur les Anglais, which appeared in England in 1733 in the volume from which they are here reprinted. H.M.

Early career. He was possibly educated at a Dissenting academy rather than at Eton and the University of Oxford, as has been claimed. in 1698-99 he traveled in Europe and in 1700 married Frances Winchcombe. In 1701 he entered Parliament, where he soon won a reputation by his superb oratory and his support of partisan Tory measures, including attacks on the previous Whig ministry and on the Protestant Dissenters, the Whigs‘ staunchest aliies. His conduct soon brought him to the notice of the government, and, after he was made secretary at war (1704), he was converted, temporarily, to the moderate policies of Robert Hariey, one of Queen Anne's principal ministers. For four years he worked hard to provide the Duke of Marlborough (1650-1722) with troops and equipment for the Spanish Succession, War of the (1701-1714) against France and then resigned with Harley (February 1708) when they failed to prevent the Whigs from dictating government policy. Failing to gain a seat in the 1708—~10 Parliament, he urged Harley to ally with the Tory Party as the best means to defeat the Whigs. In 1710 St. John became northern secretary of state in Harley's new ministry, but he soon emerged as an opponent of Harley‘s moderation and a rival to his authority. His efforts to control the government's policies and to supplant Harley (after 1711 the earl of Oxford) were largely unsuccessful. Oxford had initiated secret peace negotiations with France, but, even after he had learned of these and had forced his way into the discussions, St. John (after 1712 Viscount Bolingbroke) was not able to dictate the terms that were finally settled at the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). in Pariiament, Bolingbroke was no more successful in leading a Tory rebellion against Oxford. He won over some Tories by such partisan measures as the Schism Act (1714), which aimed at depriving the Dissenters of their schools, but he failed to persuade the majority to support his leadership and was unable to give the Tories a clear lead on the disputed succession to Queen Anne. Oxford was eventually dismissed on July 27, 1714, but the Queen's death, on August 1, ruined Bolingbroke's hopes of replacing him. Exile in France. Dismissed from office by George ! and tearing impeachment because of his role in the peace negotiations with France and his intrigues with the Jacobites (the supporters of James Edward, the Oid Pretender), Bolingbroke fled to France (March 1715) and became the Old Pretender's secretary of state in July. This enabled the British government to pass an act of attainder against him by which his property and civil iiberties were taken away. As a result, Bolingbroke's political future depended upon a successful Jacobite http ://www. hfac. uh.edu/gbrown/philosophers/leibniz/Britannica Pages/Boling bro. .. 3 1/07/02 Henry St. John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke (1678-1751) Page 2 01:3 rebellion. Despite Bolingbroke's hard work, the attempted Jacobite rising in 1715 was a dismal faiiure. Amidst bitter recriminations, Bolingbroke was dismissed by the Old Pretender and at once sought to ingratiate himself with the Whig government in England. In 1717 he wrote a Letter to Sir William Wyndham (not published until 1753) to defend his actions since 1710 and to persuade the Tories to abandon the Jacobite cause. Not surprisingly, he found it difficult to persuade men to forget his recent conduct. Forced to remain in exile, Bolingbroke sought other outlets for his talents. Mixing with aristocrats and scholars, including Voltaire, he embarked on biblical, historical, and philosophical studies and wrote several works, including Refiections upon Exile and Reflections Concerning innate Moral Principles. Shortly after the death of his first wife, he married a French widow, the Marquise de Villette (1719). Return to England. After years of petitioning the British government and of trying to assist it with his limited influence at the French court, Bolingbroke was pardoned in 1723. He did not, however, resettle in England until 1725, when an act allowed him to buy a small estate at Dawley, near London; his attainder was never fully reversed, and he was unable to regain his peerage or reclaim his seat in the Lords. He imputed this exclusion from parliamentary life to the animosity of Sir Robert Walpole. Though his own frustrated ambition clearly motivated his long campaign against Walpole's political ascendancy, he was also concerned by the way Walpole appeared to monopolize power by the excessive use of bribery and corruption. While charges of such behaviour were exaggerated, there was enough truth in them to build up a formidable opposition to Walpole. At the centre of a literary circle that included Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, and John Gay, Bolingbroke waged an influential propaganda campaign. His major contributions to The Craftsman, an opposition journal, were the “Remarks on the History of England" (1730-31) and “A Dissertation upon Parties" (1733-34), both of which sought to end the old Whig—Tory disputes and to weld the disparate elements of the opposition to Walpole into a new Country Party, which would protect the independence of Parliament against the encroachments of a corrupt government. Despite occasional successes, Bolingbroke was unable to bring down Walpole or create a united opposition party. in 1735 he retreated to France, where he continued his studies in philosophy and history, lamenting his countrymen's lack of patriotism in the struggle against Walpole. After he made a short visit to England in 1738, his hopes were revived when he learned of a new opposition party that was gathering at Leicester House around George ll’s son Frederick, prince of Wales. For this group, he wrote The Idea of a Patriot King. It was his most famous work, but it offered no real solution to the problems of defeating Walpole or of creating a “patriot” party. In any event, Prince Frederick did not live to become king, and WaIpole's final defeat, in 1742, was not engineered by Bolingbroke. in his last years, Bolingbroke lacked any real political influence, though he still made vain efforts to create a patriot ministry. He was further embittered by his discovery, in 1744, that Alexander Pope had secretly printed 1,500 copies of The idea of a Patriot King for publication. When, in 1749, Bolingbroke published a corrected version of this work, he was bitterly attacked for taking the opportunity to reveal Pope's earlier breach of faith. Bolingbroke's failing health was further undermined by his distress at his wife's http ://www. hfac. uh .edu/gbrown/philosophers/leibniz/Britannica Pages/Boling bro. .. 3 1/07/02 Henry St. John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke (1678-1751) Page 3 of 3 death (March 1750). Bolingbroke was also a historian of some talent. Intelligent and widely read, he was also noted for his handsome appearance, graceful manners, and brilliant conversation. Clear and forceful in speech and in print and imperious in temperament, he captivated some of the finest minds of his age. On the other hand, he was a notorious libertine and a poor manager of men who tended to lose his nerve in a crisis, and his unscrupulous ambition betrayed him into serious political errors and gained him a reputation for treachery.Though he died a neglected figure, the posthumous publication of his works in 1754 stirred considerable controversy. His unorthodox religious views were at last made pubiic and were denounced on all sides. Modern scholars have paid much less attention to his philosophical works, but he is widely regarded as one of the best contemporary anaiysts of the politics of the Whig supremacy.

Shelfmarks: Dep. Bland Burges 1-110 Extent: 110 shelfmarks Biographical History Sir James Bland Burges, as author, barrister, member of parliament and Under—Secretary of State at the Foreign Office corresponded with many men of note in literary and political circles. His family connections were wide. His mother was the daughter of James, 12th Lord Somerville. Through his first wife, Elizabeth Noel, daughter of Edward, 1st Viscount Wentworth, he was related to the Noel family. His second wife, Anne, was daughter of Lieutenant—Colonel Montolieu, Baron de St. Hippolyte. His third marriage, to Lady Margaret Fordyce daughter of James, 5th Earl of Balcarres, connected him to the Lindsay family. Sir James's sister Frances married James Roper Head. Correspondence of Sir James with many members of these five families is described in section A. In 1821 Burges acquired the estate of his friend John Lamb, and assumed the name of Sir James Lamb. A pedigree of the Burges family is in Burke's Peerage, Baronetage and Knightage (1925 edition, under Lamb). Acquisition These papers were deposited in the Bodleian Library, Oxford in 1958.

His marriage in $21 with Miss Brydges of waglglignggtgon, ,,S,_u_r,r_e,y,, led to an estrangement from his father, which ended in E after her death in giving birth to a son, who also died. The next two years were spent by him with his family at Bifrons, and in 1,725, he married, this time with his father's approval, Sabetta Sawbridge of Olantigh, Kent, who also died in childbirth in ,1,73_Q,; in this case, however, the child, a daughter, survived. Taylor's fragile health gave way; he fell into a decline, died at Somerset House, and was buried at St Ann's, 5&9. By his father's death in Q2_9 he had inherited the Bifrons estate. As a mathematician, he was the only Englishman after Sir Isaac Newton and Roger Cotes capable of holding his own with the Bernoullis; but a great part of the effect of his demonstrations was lost through his failure to express his ideas fully and clearly. A posthumous work entitled Contemp/atio Ph//osophica was printed for private circulation in 1/7,9; by his grandson, Sir William Young, Bart., prefaced by a life of the author, and with an appendix containing letters addressed to him by Bolingbroke, Bossuet, etc. Several short papers by him were published in Ph//. Trans., vols. xxvii. to xxxii., including accounts of some interesting experiments in mag_ne’c,is_rn and Qpfiify attraction. He issued in ,1f7__1Q an improved version of his work on perspective, with the title New Principles of Linear Perspective, revised by Colson in ;,,7i,9_,, and printed again, with portrait and life of the author, in A French translation appeared in ;_Z§_§ at _l_,5Lc>__r§. Taylor gave (Methodus Incrementoruin, p. 108) the first satisfactory investigaition of astronomical refraction. The original text for this article was based on the ‘(,3 -*..~‘_. Brook’s interest in the transverse vibrations of strings began in 1708 and resulted in two of the three papers he read to the Royal Society in 1712. De motu nervi tensi, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, 28, (1713). De inventione centri oscillationis, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, 28, (1713). - On January 18”‘, 1727, he read to the Royal Society a paper entitled A Summary Account of a New System of Music by M. Rameau, formerly organist of the Cathedral Church of Clermont in Auvergne (cf. Register Book of the Royal Society, copy xiii, p. 19). The Society had asked him to investigate Mr. Rameau’s theory but Brook did not consider himself sufficiently acquainted with it. Taylor’s paper On Music which Young states was delivered to the Royal Society was never published because “an essay on that gentle art was not deemed congenia with the institution of that learned body, for it is not preserved in their Transactions. Taylor was a close friend of Sir Isaac Newton, the astronomer John Keill, Edmond Haley, Baron de Montmort and Lord Bolingbroke; he was one of the few of Newton’s friends allowed to copy Newton’s treatise 0fMusic. ~,;,.:"‘.».,.-_ - .

Here he was associated with John RiEey’s studio ant which point Closterman took on several of his mentors leading cients, such as the Dukes of Marlborough and Somerset, as well as executing his children of John Taylor of Bifrons Park’ c.1696, now at the National Portrait Gallery on loan to Beningloorough Hall. In 1698 Ciosterman visited Madrid and the following year Rome, where he painted a portrait of the eminent baroque artist Carlo Maratti and hue: antique idiom. This was also consistent with the tastes of his new patron, the Earl of Shafteshury, of whom he executed two fuEl—length portraits them also in the National Portrait Gallery. Closterman was undoubtedly one of the leading society portraitists of his day, matching Lely and later Kneller with the baroque exuberance cif his groupings. A small exhibition devoted to the artist at the National Portrait Gallery in 1981 was curated by Dr.MaEcolm Rogers, and his work is discussed in E . XLIX ,l983,224l‘f. 84.

CURRENT AND FORTHCOMING EXHIBITIONS estrarieza/admirardn no imitardn edades’. ‘Painting at Court’, represented by artists from Sanchez Coello to Miguel or Francisco Melendez is not surprisingly dominated by Velazquez with the National Gallery’s Philip IV in brown and silver (23) and The Toilet of Venus (26), the Duke of Westminster’s Prince Baltasar Carlos in the Riding School (24) exhibited for the first time for over a century. Seeing the Venus hanging alone on a wall, it is hard to imagine it decorating a ceil- ing as it did in 1692, according to a document discovered by Lopez-Rey and published in his latest Veldzquez, (reviewed in this magazine in Se - tember) which appeared too late to e used in the catalogue. Lopez-Re also publishes a reference to the hats- worth Lady in a Mantilla (27), as in the Ca io collection in 1667, attributed to Velazquez. The Knight qf Santiago from York (28; Fig.80), formerly thought to be by Velazquez, is now given to Mazo. The existence of three variants of this portrait is an indication of the sitter being a person of some importance, who has yet to be identified (LOPEZ-REY [I963], nos.540 and 543, in addition to no.54-1). It would have been interesting to see this portrait and the Lady in a Mantilla beside the National Gallery’s two portraits, not in the exhibition, one signed by Mazo, the other ascribed to him. The portrait of Queen Marie Louise Gabrielle of Savoy, the first wife of Philip V, bou ht for Qiueen Victoria at the Louis-P ilippe sac is here ascribed to Francisco Antonio Meléndez (31; Fig.83); but it may well be by his older brother Miguel, whose name, (MICHELES MELENDEZ) is inscribed on the verso of a drawing in the National Gallery, Edinburgh, 3. study for this or a very similar portrait of the Queen (Fig.82). Velazquez’s importance as court painter frequently overshadows his early achievement as religious artist in Seville, but not in this exhibition. His Immaculate Conception (39) is not only the earliest example of the subject here but also one of the earliest in Seville, where it was to be represented more often than anywhere in Christendom. The recent attribution to Zurbaran ofa later version of the sub- ject from Dublin (4-0) with the unusual addition of the half-length figures of Faith and Hope is quite convincing. A more important, yet little known, Zurbaran, not previously exhibited, is the Surrender of Seville (32) in the Duke of Westminster’s collection, brought to light by Lopez-Rey in 1965. Signed and dated 1634-, it must have been finished before he went to Madrid to paint the Hercules series and another history piece for the Buen Retiro. Sur- prisingly, and regrettabl , there is no autogra h version of the rnmaculate Can- ception y Murillo, the most famous exponent of the subject and once credited by Curtis with more than a dozen exam- es in England. Here, there is only the ational a1lery’s version ascribed to Murillo (41) and attributed by Angulo to a pupil. Angulo’s recent three-volume major monograph on the artist did fortu- nately appear in time to be cited in the catalogue. An Immaculate Conception from Oxford, one of several versions by Jose Antolinez (42) a younger contemporary of Murillo, is an example of the more decorative, colourful treatment of the subfject by Madrid painters. he paintings in the section devoted to Murillo help to make up for the absence of an autograph Immaculate Conception. Here we have a rich variety: portraits and religious compositions, large scale and small, the monumental Virgin and Child in Glory from Liverpool (52) and the less well—known Triumph of the Eucharist from Buscot Park (50), one of the paint- ings painted at the instigation of justino de Neve, the sitter of the National Gallery’s portrait (44-), Canon of Seville Cathedral and friend and patron of the artist. There is also the small-scale, decorative Prodigal son feasting, one of a series of six in the Beit collection, and three genre subjects with peasants (4-5-47), late and light-hearted descen- dants of Velazquez’s bodegones. We know nothing of the original owners of these secular subjects, only that they were greatly popular in England in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, admired and copied by Gainsborough, but reviled by Ruskin. The ‘Still-Life and Landscape’ group includes the now well-known plaintin by ‘El Labrador’ presented to C arles by Sir Arthur Hopton (56), a Still-Life with Fish (55), bought by William Stirling in Seville and once attributed to Veléz uez, two signed Flower-pieces by Arelano (57, 58) and two still-life subjects by Luis Melendez (60, 61), all without early history, as is the one and only landscape, charming but foreign-looking, by Luis Paret (62). The greatest examples of still-life painting in the exhibition are, of course, in the earlier section, in the bodegones by Velazquez. The rarity of Spanish landscape painting is well- known, but it is worth mentioning that juan Fernandez, ‘El Labrador’, is known to have painted little landscapes, and the picture on the wall in the background of the portrait of his patron Sir Arthur Hopton may well be by him (Meadows Museum, Dallas, reproduced in the introduction to the exhibition catalogue, Fig.9). The eleven paintings in the closing sec- tion devoted to Goya are all well-known, but none the less impressive. The two small scenes of Boys pla ing (of a set of four) (64, 65) from ollok have the distinction of being among the first Goyas to come to Britain; bought by William Stirling in Seville in 1842 and described in the Annals. The discovery during recent cleaning of a man’s head beneath the portrait of Doria Isabel de Porcel (71) and the recovery of the original inscription on the back of Goya’s canvas were reported in detail by Allan Braham in the September issue of this magazine. The arrangement of the exhibition with the sections separated by screens but not enclosed is highly successful, enabling one to look from one section to the next. The transition from El Greco to Ribalta, separated only by a doorway, is particularly revealing. Although Ribalta’s night Vision of Father Simon of 1612 (1 1) is in a different idiom, its inten- sity of religious devotion is not far removed from that of El Greco’s religious subjects and reflected in the highly charged dramatic style of his so-called Allegorical Night Scenes (8, 9). It is easy to understand why Ribalta’s chief patron, the archbishop and Viceroy of Valencia, Juan de Ribera, later beatified (1796) and canonised (1960), owned several paintings by El Greco, including a version of the Allegory and of El Soplén, the boy alone blowing on fire. Unfortunately the reference to them in the inventory of the §irchbishop’s collection made on his death in 1611, while El Greco was still alive, does not solve the mystery of the meaning of either subject, though their presence in this collection has supported the view that the Allegory at least has a moral meaning. A further note on the history of taste and atronage in Spain is the knowledge that efore his elevation to the see of Valencia in 1569, Juan de Ribera was bisho of Badajoz and his olficial painter was uis de Morales, the artist with whom this exhibition opens. Allan Braham, who organised the exhibition, has provided an exemplary catalogue raisonné of the seventy-four paintings, all reproduced, which will be of lasting value. He has also su - lemented the history of the taste or panish painting, only partially illus- trated in the exhibition, in his introduc- tion to the catalogue. This is much more than an outline of the subject. It is a detailed study, documented and illus- trated, with much new or little known information about the taste of collectors from the sixteenth century until the pres- ent and also of writers and artists, travel- lers and connoisseurs. The introduction is in itself a valuable contribution to the study of the subject, providing a scho- larly guide to further research in a field of growing interest. Hilary Macartney’s study of William Stirling and the paint- ings at Pollok House is in progress and Michael Kauffmann’s catalogue of the aintings in the Wellington Museum is in the press—both works are cited in this catalogue. So is the documentary exhibi- tion on the Louis-Philippe collection organised by Jeannine Baticle, which 0 ened in the Louvre in October. hough not originally examples of Brit- ish taste, and not constantly in favour, both the Wellington ictures and those from the collection 0 Louis-Philippe in the present exhibition will surely win approval as representing today’s taste in Spanish painting. ENRIQUETA HARRIS London National Portrait Gallery When I published a documentary arti- cle on John Closterman in THE BURLING- 689 CURRENT AND FORTHCOMING EXHIBITIONS rou MAGAZINE, [July 1964], including his Will, which showed that john Baptist was his brother, a senior art-historian observed: ‘Well, you’ve said all there is to say about the Clostermansl’ Maybe he was being facetious. But if the remark was serious, it has now been shown to be wrong by Dr Malcolm Ro ers. There was much more to be sai about the Clostermans. John Closterman: Master of the English Baroque, 1660-1711, was a small, but handsomely arranged exhibition: eight paintings, one drawing, and nine mezzo- tints. A substantial catalogue illustrates all these items, with oomparative mater- ial, and publishes important new interpretations and documentation. However, it is sad that an editorial deci- sion was made not to incorporate cita- tions, previous literature references, and more acknowledgements. This means that Dr Rogers’s very significant dis- coveries can often only be recognised by the specialist. A further limitation of the exhibition was that it did not seriously tackle the problem of the stylistic difference bet- ween the works of the artist-brothers. Dr Rogers does say, ‘What slight evidence there is suggests thatjohn Baptist’s work is considerably coarser than that of his brother, though his portraits of john Manners, first Duke of Rutland (Hard- wick Hall and Belvoir Castle) are not lacking in ambition’ (p.4-). (Actually, the portraits are, res ectively, of the first and second dukes). Two signed full-lengths (one of them dated) surely count as more than ‘slight’ evidence. And putting at least one into the present exhibition, beside the authentic works of john, would have helped reatly to clarify the difference between t e brothers’ work. Some might wonder if trying to distin- Euish between ajohn and ajohn Baptist losterman was not merely an academic exercise. In the popular press doubts were expressed about the validity of the subtitle of this exhibition. Undoubtedly Closterman is a ‘master’, and a significant one. Anyone who can put together an elaborate composition such as The Children qfjohn Taylor of Bifrons Park (a recent acquisition of the National Portrait Gallery; Fig.86) deserves the title ‘master’. This is arguably the finest Engl- ish group portrait of its period, certainly superior to those of Kneller. Closter- man’s full-lengths are also high achieve- ments. Dr Rogers is also right to stress the double full-length of the third Earl of Shaftesbury and his brother (the latter shown at our left), another recent ac uis- ition of the National Portrait Ga lery (Fig.85), along with the three-quarter length Lady Ashe (Fig_.84) as ‘remarkable ear y essays in a consciously neo-classical manner’. The latter is startling, with its grisaille colouring — sober greys and browns, subtly relieved by pinks. The classical colour of the Lady Ashe is particularly fascinating in the context of the En lish baroque, because it agrees with nel1er’s statement that ‘ye Ancients did use, in flesh but 3 or 4 C01- 690 ours, they did not know so many Colours as we use, The Dutchmen bro.‘ it in amongst us with their fanciful new fang- led Colours’. This doctrine derives ulti- mately from Pliny, was quoted in the seventeenth century by Junius and Lord Shaftesbury, and was to be echoed as late as the time of Benjamin Haydon. Yet amongst English baroipe painters, only Closterman seems to ave applied the doctrine consistently throughout a whole picture. No.5: The original portrait may have been destroyed when Gibbons’s house collapsed in 1702 (Vertue,III,l0). There may be an echo of this composi- tion (which itself recalls Van Dyck’s Daniel A/Iytens and His Wife, at Wobum) in Reyno1ds’s David Garrick and His Wife (National Portrait Gallery) of 1773. No.6: Pieter Shenk used this design for his engraving of Ludwig Wilhelm, Mar- grave of Baden. No.10: The hatching on the left side of Wren’s face suggests the use of the artist’s left hand. The same feature can be seen on the breast and check of no.l6. yet the one authentic drawing, no.9, seems to show only the use of the right hand. Was Closterman ambidextrous? No.12: The argument for dating this 1696, rather than 1698, is convincing. John Taylor a parently bought Bifrons in 1694. (MS ormerly with the late Mr and Mrs Brian Trench, the previous owners of no.12. In 1975 they also pos- sessed oval bust portraits of john Taylor and his wife Olivia, by Closterman c. 1695). No.15: The suggestion that the figure in the background is not (as is usually said) the Earl of Shaftesbury’s brother Maurice, but, rather, a senior member of the former’s household is convincing, as is the exposition of the portrait as an emblematic contrast of the active and contemplative life. Also of great interest is the interpretation of the ‘especially noble landscape’ of no.l7 (Fig.85) as a mirror of ‘the ortrait’s elevated theme’, viz. ‘the neo-p atonic commonplace that the beauty of nature is a visible reflection of the highest beauty, the mind of god’. Closterman was a learned artist. Like Kneller he acted as a gatherer for second subscriptions to Dryden’s translation of the Aeneid, and as a first subscriber, like Kneller, had a plate dedicated to him. Closterman is also the only ainter of this period in England, apart rom Kneller, who is known to have possessed an engraved bookplate (armorial, 1702; British Museum, Franks Collection). Closterman’s dealin activities while he was in Rome inclu ed an attempt to buy Maratta’s drawing collection. (See J. K. and R. H. WESTIN, Carlo Maratta . . . Pennsylvania State University Museum of Art [1975): p.9). Although e seems to have painted less in his last years, Closterman maintained social contact with his fellow artists, through the Rose and Crown Club. He had taken the place of john Riley, ‘much indisposed of an illness of which he died’, as Steward in 1689 and held the post again in 1708.

Those twenty-odd miles mat- ter, for though the Holloway is probably, for specialists, the country’s best-known surviving Victorian collection, it remains something of an eni ma to the wider public — this despite t e College’s hospi- tality to interested visitors and a gener- ous lending policy. The current selection of forty-three pictures includes virtually all the famous Victorian icons - Fildes’s Applicants for Admission to a Casual Ward, Frith’s The Railway Station, Long’s Babylo- nian Marriage Market and the two Millais history pictures. The many less-known works, like those by Ansdell, Burgess, Leader, Linnell, Miiller, Poole and Abraham Solomon, range from the cosmic (The Pie du Midi by Stanfield) to the cosy (Sympathy by Briton Riviere), are of the hi hest quality and represent per- fectly t ose pictures typical 0 a significant Victorian collection. Holloway built his innovatory women’s college and a matching sanatorium down the road on the proceeds of a fortune made from ‘Holloway’s Pills and Oint- ments’. His idea of an instant picture gal- lery for the edification of the students came at a late stage in the college plan, hence the extraordinary speed with which the collection was assembled and its hanging not in a purpose-built gallery, as might have been expected, but in an adapted recreation hall. The collection is a thoroughly Victorian phenomenon: it was bou ht in two years flat, between 28th May 18 l and 2nd June 1883, and came almost entirely from thirteen Christie’s sales. The total purchase price of the seventy-seven paintings, excluding commission and administrative costs, came to the then vast £83,304-.l3s. All but four (the Gains- borough and three Morlands) were painted during Holloway’s own lifetime (1800-83), and most during Victoria’s reign: they demonstrate the utter confidence with which new fortunes were then invested in contemporary art. In modern terms, it re resents perhaps a million pounds’ wortli of commitment in just two years to the art of one’s own time — an act of cultural faith which might now still be made in America or Ger- many, but surely nowhere else. This mass migration of Holloway to the mulberry and mahogany of Agnew’s appropriately brings the pictures back through the doors of a firm which had handled many of them at some stage, before their embalming in the historically total of I 3" Contact us 3* Help 3‘ A to Z index 7* Site search; 3" Accessibility :5 '{i(}l’§€1I arclieives W?

Contact us Taylor, Sir Herbert (1775-1839), courtier and army officer, second son of the Revd Edward Taylor (1734-1798), of Bifrons, Kent, rector of Patrixbourne, and his wife, Margaret (d. 1780?), daughter of Thomas Payler of Ileden, Kent, was born on 29 September 1775 at Bifrons. He was educated privately on the continent between 1780 and 1790, and became a good linguist. Through Lord Camelford and Lord Grenville, he was employed in the Foreign Office under James Bland Burgess. His knowledge of foreign languages made him very useful, and Lord Grenville occasionally employed him on confidential work at his own house. In December 1792 Taylor accompanied Sir James Murray (afterwards Murray-Pulteney) on a special mission to the Prussian headquarters at Frankfurt. After a few weeks Murray left Frankfurt to take up his military duties as adjutant-general to the duke of York's army at Antwerp, and Taylor remained behind for a short time in charge of the mission. In April 1793, he joined the army headquarters where Murray presented him to the duke of York, to whom he became greatly attached. He was employed as Murray's secretary, and was present as a volunteer at the action of St Amand (8 May), the battle of Famars (23 May), and the sieges of Valenciennes and Dunkirk. On 25 March 1794 Taylor was given a commission as cornet in the 2nd dragoon guards, and in July was promoted to be lieutenant. On Murray's return to England, Taylor remained with the duke of York as assistant secretary. He generally joined his regiment when in the field, and was present at the April actions near Cateau Cambrésis, those near Tournai in May, and at other operations of the campaign, including the retreat into the Netherlands. In May 1795 he was promoted to be captain in the 2nd dragoon guards. When the duke of York returned to England, Taylor remained with the army as assistant secretary to the commander-in-chief of the British forces on the continent, and served in that capacity successively with Lieutenant-General Harcourt and Sir David Dundas. On 16 September 1795 Taylor returned to England, having been appointed aide—de—camp to the duke of York. He was soon afterwards nominated assistant military secretary in the commander- in—chief‘s office. In July 1798 he accompanied Lord Cornwallis to Ireland on the latter's appointment as lord lieutenant, in the threefold capacity of aide—de—camp, military secretary, and private secretary. Cornwallis described him as ‘indefatigable in business; and in honesty, fidelity and goodness of heart he has no superior’ (Taylor Papers, 56). He returned to England in February 1799 to take over the duties of private secretary to the duke of York. He went to the Netherlands as aide—de—camp to the duke in the expedition to The Helder in September, and was present at several battles. In January 1801 Taylor was promoted to be major in the 2nd dragoon guards, and in December of the same year to be lieutenant-colonel in the 9th West India regiment. On 25 June 1802 he was placed on half pay, and on 25 May was brought into the Coldstream Guards, of which the duke of York was colonel. He rose to the rank of lieutenant-general in 1825. He continued in the appointment of private secretary and aide—de—camp to the duke until 13 June 1805, when he was appointed private secretary to the king. The king placed every confidence in him, so that his position was one of great delicacy, but his straightforwardness secured the good opinion of all. On the establishment of the regency he continued in the same office to the queen, who was appointed by act of parliament guardian of the king's person. By the same act Taylor was appointed one of the three commissioners of the king's real and personal estate. In November 1813 Taylor was appointed to command a brigade in the army of Sir Thomas Graham (afterwards Lord Lynedoch), which was besieging Antwerp. He returned to England in March 1814, when he was sent on special military missions to Bernadotte, crown prince of Sweden (then commanding the Swedish force in Germany), and to The Hague. During these absences from the court his place was taken by his brother Brook Taylor [see below]. He resumed the duties of private secretary to Queen Charlotte on his return, and continued in this office until her death in November 1818. In 1819 he was made a knight of the Royal Guelphic Order, and on 5 October of the same year he married Charlotte Albinia, daughter of Edward Disbrowe of Walton Hall, Derbyshire, vice-chamberlain to Queen Charlotte, and granddaughter of the third earl of Buckingham; they had two daughters. From 1820 to 1823 Taylor represented Windsor in parliament, resigning his seat because he found he could not satisfactorily fulfil both his parliamentary and his other duties. On 25 March 1820 he was appointed military secretary at the Horse Guards, and in 1824 he was made a knight grand cross of the Royal Guelphic Order. In January 1827 he was appointed military secretary to the new commander-in—chief, the duke of Wellington; but on the duke resigning in July 1827, Taylor was nominated by Lord Palmerston to be a deputy secretary at war in the military branch of the War Office; the king had already made him his first and principal aide-de-camp. On 19 March 1828 Taylor was appointed master surveyor and surveyor—general of the ordnance of the United Kingdom. On 25 August of the same year he became adjutant—general of the forces, an appointment which he held until the accession of William IV, to whom he became private secretary, and continued in that office during the whole of the reign. He played a significant part as mediator between the king and the government during the Reform Bill crisis. On 16 April 1834 Taylor was awarded the grand cross in the Order of the Bath. On the death of William IV in 1837 he retired into private life, but remained first and principal aide-de—camp to Queen Victoria. He had already received from George III a pension of £1000 a year on the civil list, with remainder to his widow. In the spring of 1838 he went to Italy, and he died at Rome on 20 March 1839. His body was embalmed for conveyance to England, but was buried in the protestant cemetery at Rome. In the middle of April his remains were exhumed and sent to England, and on 13 June were deposited in a vault of the chapel of St Katherine's Hospital, Regent's Park, London, to the mastership of which he had been appointed in 1818 by Queen Charlotte. Taylor, who was a confidential friend of the duke of York, his go-between in the financial negotiations with Mary Anne Clarke, and one of his executors, wrote the Memoirs of the Last Illness and Decease of HRH the Duke of York (1827). Taylor's younger brother, Sir Brook Taylor (1776-1846), joined the diplomatic service under the patronage of Lord Grenville, and was British minister to Cologne and Hesse-Cassel in 1801- 6, to Denmark in 1807, to Wiirttemberg in 1814-20 and to Bavaria in 1820-28. He was minister at Berlin in 1828-31, and was created GCH in 1822 and sworn of the privy council in 1828. He Page 120 died, unmarried, at Eaton Place, London, on 15 October 1846. R. H. Vetch, rev. K.

A younger brother, SIR Brook Taylor (1776-1846), was in the diplomatic service, and acted as British minister successively at the courts of Hesse-Cassel, Wurtemberg, and Munich, and as ambassador at Berlin from 1828 to 1831; he was created G.C.H. in 1822, and was admitted to the privy council in 1828 (Gent. Mag. 1847, pt. i. p. 82). During the wanderings of his family on the continent between 1780 and 1790 Herbert received private tuition, and became a good linguist. In Rome he made the acquaintance of Lord Camelford, by whom he was introduced to Lord Grenville, who gave him a place in the foreign office under Mr. (afterwards Sir) James Bland Burgess.

On the death of William IV in 1837 Taylor retired into private life, but was continued by the young queen in the appointment of first and principal aide- de—camp to the sovereign. He had already received from George III a pension of 1,oool. a year on the civil list, with remainder to his widow. In the autumn of 1837 he went with his family to Cannes. In the spring of 1838 he went on to Italy, and he died at Rome on 20 March 1839. His body was embalmed for conveyance to England, but was buried in the protestant cemetery at Rome. In the middle of April his remains were exhumed and sent to England, and on 13 June were deposited in a vault of the chapel of St. Katherine's Hospital, Regent's Park, to the mastership of which he had been appointed in 1818.

By her he left two daughters, who, with their mother, survived him. Taylor, who was a confidential friend of the Duke of York, and who was nominated one of the duke's executors, wrote the ‘Memoirs of the last Illness and Decease of H.R.H. the Duke of York,’ London, 1827, 8vo (three editions).

He entered St. John's College, Cambridge, as a fellow-commoner in 1701, and took degrees of LL.B. and LL.D. respectively in 1709 and 1714. Having studied mathematics under John Machin and John Keill, he obtained in 1708 a remarkable solution of the problem of the "center of oscillation", which, however, remaining unpublished until May 1714 (Phil. Trans., vol. XXVIII, p. 11), his claim to priority was unjustly disputed by John Bernoulli. Taylor's Methodus Incrementorum Directa et Inversa (London, 1715) added a new branch to the higher mathematics, now designated the calculus of finite differences. Among other ingenious applications, he used it to determine the form of movement of a vibrating string, by him first successfully reduced to mechanical principles. The same work contained the celebrated formula known as "Taylor's Theorem", the importance of which remained unrecognized until 1772, when J_os,_eph-Louis Lagrange realized its powers and termed it "le principal fondement du calcul différentiel." In his essay on Linear Perspective (London, 1715) Taylor set forth the true principles of the art in an original and more general form than any of his predecessors; but the work suffered from the brevity and obscurity which affected most of his writings, and needed the elucidation bestowed on it in the treatises of Joshua Kirby (1754) and Daniel Fournier (1761). Taylor was elected a fellow of the Royal Society early in 1712, sat in the same year on the committee for adjudicating the claims of 1s_a.acWN.ew.t,o_n_ and Gottfried_L_e.ib1ni.Z, and acted as secretary to the society from the 13th of January 1714 to the 21st of October 1718. From 1715 his studies took a philosophical and religious bent. He corresponded, in that year, with the Comte de Montmort on the subject of N,i_co.|-.a§,....Ma.leb,ranc.h.e's tenets; and unfinished treatises, "On the Jewish Sacrifices" and "On the Lawfulness of Eating Blood", written on his return from Aix-la-Chapelle in 1719, were afterwards found among his papers. His marriage in 1721 with Miss Brydges of Wallington, Surrey, led to an estrangement from his father, a person of somewhat morose temper, which terminated in 1723 after the death of the lady in giving birth to a son. The ensuing two years were spent by him with his family at Bifrons, and in 1725 he married, with the paternal approbation, Sabetta, daughter of Mr. Sawbridge of Olantigh, Kent, who, by a strange fatality, died also in childbed in 1730; in this case, however, the infant, a daughter, survived. Taylor's fragile health gave way; he fell into a decline, died on the 29th of December 1731, at Somerset House, and was buried at St. Ann's, Soho. By his father's death in 1729 he had inherited the Bifrons estate. As a mathematician, he was the only Englishman after Sir Isaac Newton and Roger Cotes capable of holding his own with the Bernoullis; but a great part of the effect of his demonstrations was lost through his failure to express his ideas fully and clearly. A posthumous work entitled Contemp/atio Phi/osophica was printed for private circulation in 1793 by his grandson, Sir William Young, Bart., prefaced by a life of the author, and with an appendix containing letters addressed to him by Bolingbroke, kg:LuesiB_Qs§Let, etc. Several short papers by him were published in Phil. Trans., vols. XXVII to XXXII, including accounts of some interesting experiments in magnetism and capillary attraction. He issued in 1719 an improved version of his work on perspective, with the title New Principles of Linear Perspective, revised by Colson in 1749, and printed again, with portrait and life of the author, in 1811. A French translation appeared in 1753 at Lyons. Taylor gave (Methodus Incrementorum, p. 108) the first satisfactory investigation of astronomical refraction.

Submit a correction or make a comment aboutthis profile Copyright ©2007 Soylent Communications Taylor, Brook (1685-1731), mathematician, was born on 18 August 1685 in Edmonton, Middlesex, the eldest son of John Taylor (1655-1729), merchant, and his wife, Olivia (d. 1716), daughter of Sir Nicholas Tempest, baronet, of Durham. John's puritan father, Nathaniel Taylor (d. 1684), was a barrister who had been selected by Cromwell in 1653 to represent the county of Bedford in parliament. In 1694 John Taylor purchased the estate of Bifrons within a large park in the parish of Patrixbourne, near Canterbury. Here he ran his household with an autocratic hand, his austere nature succumbing to one domestic pleasure, music. . Among its celebrated practitioners, Lully, Couperon, Babel, and Brook Taylor (1685-1731), Geminiani were invited to perform at his home. In a painting by by Louis Goupy?, 1720 Closterman of the eight children of John Taylor about 1698 the young Brook is shown seated with recorder in hand while two of his older sisters prepare to crown him with a laurel wreath. During his adolescence Taylor became an accomplished musician and artist, talents which would find mathematical expression in later years in his pioneering study of the vibrating string, and in his treatise on linear perspective. A portrait by Goupy depicts the adult Taylor beside his harpsichord, pointing to an open copy of this treatise, with a landscape on the wall behind him, presumably executed by his own hand. After being tutored at home Taylor was admitted as a fellow-commoner to St John's College, Cambridge, on 3 April 1701; he graduated LLB in 1709 and LLD in 1714. He was admitted an advocate in the court of arches in 1714, but no mention of any legal activity on his part has been found. During his years at Cambridge, Taylor became proficient in mathematics and physics, and he was elected fellow of the Royal Society on 3 April 1712. Two weeks later he was chosen, along with Abraham De Moivre and Francis Aston, to serve on the Royal Society committee charged with adjudicating the priority controversy between Newton and Leibniz over the invention of the calculus. Although the committee's task was completed one week later, allowing Taylor only limited participation, this was his first public act as a partisan of Newton and paved the way for his subsequent activity as a proponent of Newtonian mechanics and the fluxional calculus. John Keill, Savilian professor of astronomy at Oxford and Newton's most outspoken advocate, became Taylor's mentor and friend. In his correspondence with Keill in 1712 and 1713 Taylor discussed many of his important discoveries, which appeared later in his book Methodus incrementorum. Two results on the centre of oscillation, composed in 1708, and on the vibrating string, were first published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (1713). In response to the Royal Society's interest in experiments that would advance Newtonian physics, Taylor worked on his own and with curators Francis Hauksbee and J. T. Desaguliers to try to determine the laws of capillarity, magnetic force, and thermometry. On 13 January 1715 he was elected secretary of the Royal Society after the death of Richard Waller. His book Linear Perspective appeared later that year, written in formal mathematical style with axioms and theorems. Although the abstruse and concise nature of the text made it inaccessible to most artists, the work influenced later writers on the subject and holds a prominent place in the history of perspective. Not only did it contain contributions to the theory of inverse problems and direct construction, but it was the first to call attention to the importance of vanishing points and lines. Taylor published an expanded version, New Principles of Linear Perspective, in 1719. During the year in which his first treatise on perspective appeared Taylor also published his chief mathematical work, Methodus incrementorum directa et inversa (1715; 2nd edn, 1717). He felt that his new method of increments, which came to be known as finite differences, would furnish a stronger and more consistent basis for the Newtonian fluxional calculus than Newton himself had given. The first part of the text concerns the fundamental principles of the method and the transformation and solution of finite difference and differential equations. The second part contains applications of both his method and the calculus to problems in mathematics and mechanics. Several of these, including the formulae for the derivatives of the inverse function, the recognition of a singular solution to a differential equation, a comprehensive discussion of the number and type of boundary conditions to be adjoined to finite difference and differential equations, the equation of motion and fundamental period of the vibrating string, and the differential equation for the path of a ray of light in the atmosphere, were first treated by Taylor. Others, like the catenary, isoperimetric problems, and the centres of oscillation and percussion, had been treated by continental mathematicians, especially Huygens, Leibniz, and the brothers Jacob and Johann Bernoulli. The celebrated series known as the Taylor series occurs in proposition 7, corollary 2 of Methodus incrementorum. Taylor proved it using finite differences and the Gregory—Newton interpolation formula and invoked a passage to the limit that modern mathematicians would not consider rigorous. There is no discussion of a remainder term or convergence. Although Taylor was not the first to find the form of the series-he was anticipated by James Gregory, Newton, Leibniz, Johann Bernoulli, and De Moivre—he can be credited with publishing it first, along with a proof based on his theory of finite increments. Moreover he was the first to appreciate its importance and to demonstrate its applicability as an analytical tool: he employed it to generate series solutions to differential equations of all orders, to obtain series representations for integrals, and to find approximations to the roots of ordinary equations. Although the Taylor series about zero came to be associated with Colin MacLaurin, when MacLaurin published his own derivation using the method of undetermined coefficients, he acknowledged his predecessor: ‘This theorem was given by Dr Taylor method. increm.’ (C. MacLaurin, A Treatise of Fluxions, 2, 1742, 611). Despite praiseworthy comments about Taylor's achievements from Euler, Lagrange, and others, his Methodus was not without its detractors. By citing no one but Newton in the text, Taylor incurred the wrath of Leibniz and Johann Bernoulli, both of whom accused him of deliberate obscurity and lack of originality. Bernoulli went further and charged Taylor with plagiarism. Most would agree that Taylor's style is excessively terse and obscure and that he was negligent in failing to acknowledge the work of his continental predecessors, but Taylor's unpublished papers in London (RS, MS 82) and Cambridge (Taylor MSS, St John's College) show the charge of plagiarism to be unfounded. Nevertheless, the controversy between Taylor and Bernoulli escalated, with accusations from each side appearing publicly in the journals and in their private correspondence with others. Taylor's most frequent correspondent and confidant was the French probabilist Pierre Rémond de Monmort (1678-1719), whom he met on a visit to Paris in 1715. A disciple of Malebranche, Monmort engaged Taylor in an amicable public debate concerning the merits of Newton's gravitational theory over the vortex theory adhered to by many French Cartesians. Realizing later that Taylor could not be swayed, Monmort vowed, ‘I shall love you without loving your attractions, and you shall love me without loving our little vortices’ (Monmort to Taylor, 5 Nov 1718, St John's College, Taylor MSS). According to Taylor's grandson, in Paris, Taylor ‘was eagerly courted by all who had temper to enjoy, or talents to improve, the charms of social intercourse’ (Young, 23-4). Among those seeking his society, in addition to the savants of the Académie Royale des Sciences, were the Abbé Conti, the comte de Caylus, Bishop Bossuet, and Lord Bolingbroke, who became his close friend. It was through the Abbé Conti that Leibniz and Bernoulli sent a challenge problem to the English mathematicians, on orthogonal trajectories for families of curves. Newton was in his seventies by then, and it was left to his younger colleague Taylor to salvage the pride of the English. His solution appeared in the Philosophical Transactions (30, 1717). Through Monmort, Taylor sent the Leibnizians two more challenges, on the motion of a projectile in a resisting medium and on the integration of rational fractions. Both problems provoked more bitterness, attacks, and recriminations between Taylor and Bernoulli. Having declared himself neutral in the dispute between Newton and Leibniz, Monmort agreed to play the role of intermediary between Taylor and Bernoulli, but to no avail. The feud ended without resolution after Taylor decided to remain silent in the face of further attacks. Other events in Taylor's life came to occupy his attention during this time. On 21 October 1718 he resigned as secretary of the Royal Society, informing his fellow secretary Edmond Halley that personal matters would keep him away from London. His health deteriorated and he was sent to recuperate in the spa of Aix-la-Chapelle. Indeed the last decade of his life was marked by failing health and severe emotional strain. In 1721 he married Sarah Elizabeth Brydges, of Wallington, Surrey. The marriage caused an estrangement with his father, since she was ‘of good family, but of small fortune’ (Young, 33) and his father's consent had not been obtained. In 1723 she died in childbirth, along with the child, but the tragic event had a positive consequence, namely reconciliation between father and son. With his father's approval in 1725 Taylor married Elizabeth (Sabetta), daughter of John Sawbridge of Olantigh, Kent. In July 1729 on the death of his father, Brook inherited the family estate of Bifrons, which was to remain in the Taylor family for close to a century. In March of the next year he lost his second wife in childbirth. This time the child, Elizabeth, survived. (In Taylor's will a second daughter, Olive, is mentioned, but it is not known whether she survived to adulthood.) Years later Elizabeth's son, Sir William Young, second baronet, at the request of some members of the Académie Francaise, composed a short biography of his grandfather and had it printed, along with some of Taylor's correspondence and an unfinished essay entitled Contemplatio philosophica. After the death of his second wife, burdened by grief and beset by ill health, Taylor died ‘of a decline’ (Young, 40) on 30 November 1731 in Somerset House, London. He was buried in London on 2 December 1731, near his first wife, in the churchyard of St Anne's, Soho. Page 130 Lenore Feigenbaum Sources W.

The bequest was accepted and on 7 June 1753 the British Museum act became law, establishing the first national museum freely open to the public, the Sloane collections forming the nucleus of the British Museum (around 200 000 specimens). The 71,000 objects included an Asante drum from Ghana, a lower palaeolithic hand axe found in 1696 and an English astrolabe of about 1295. The 50,000 books, manuscripts, prints and drawings included an album of 138 drawings attributed to ALbrecht Durer. There were also 337 volumes of dried plants. Parliament immediately supplemented the collection with an earlier bequest of coins and manuscripts from the estate of Sir Robert Cotton, which included the Lindisfarne Gospels, two copies of Magna Carta and the manuscript of Beowulf. A further addition was the purchase of the Harleian Library and in 1757 George II gave the Old Royal Library to the Museum with its right to a copy of every publication printed in the country.

The bequest was accepted and on 7 June 1753 the British Museum act became law, establishing the first national museum freely open to the public, the Sloane collections forming the nucleus of the British Museum (around 200 000 specimens). The 71,000 objects included an Asante drum from Ghana, a lower palaeolithic hand axe found in 1696 and an English astrolabe of about 1295. The 50,000 books, manuscripts, prints and drawings included an album of 138 drawings attributed to ALbrecht Durer. There were also 337 volumes of dried plants. Parliament immediately supplemented the collection with an earlier bequest of coins and manuscripts from the estate of Sir Robert Cotton, which included the Lindisfarne Gospels, two copies of Magna Carta and the manuscript of Beowulf. A further addition was the purchase of the Harleian Library and in 1757 George II gave the Old Royal Library to the Museum with its right to a copy of every publication printed in the country.

About this time Newton gave Conti permission to make a copy of his draft essay on ancient chronology for the private use of the Princess of Wales. Conti, on his return to France broke trust with Newton, and showed the manuscript to a number of friends, in- cluding Fréret, an antiquary, who had it translated into French, and added his own critical commentary. The manuscript was eventually printed in 1725 as Abrégé de Chronologie de A/I. le Chevalier Newton, fait par lui-méme, at traduit sur le manuscrit Anglais. Newton was annoyed, (although the printer, Cavelier, had given him warning of their impending publication, which Newton chose to ignore) and wrote a reply, ‘Remarks on the Observations made on a Chrono- logical Index of Sir Isaac Newton’, Phil.

Upon my coming to London on Tuesday night I found a letter from Mr Monmort dated the 31 March N:S: wherein he gives me the following account of what pass’d at the French Academy relating to Dr Keils Paper, which it seems they don’t care to print.(3) Le plus grand nombre . . . au nom de la Societé Royalle.(4) These are Mr Monmorts own words which I thought it my duty to communi- cate to you, not knowing what sort of an account Mr Fontenelle may have given in his letter to Dr Halley.<5) Mr Monmort in all his letters to me seems to take a particular pleasure in expressing the great respect he has for you, Sir, and in one of his last he tells me he has sent to me a hamper of Champagne wine, and begs your acceptance of 50 bottles of it.<‘3) I can send it from hence either by Land carriage or by Water, If you will be pleased to let me know 33’-’ ,\§...«- .3‘ saw ;\.;..,., }~:‘J- FLAMSTEED TO NEWTON 23 APRIL1716 whither I shall direct it I will send it assoon as it comes to my hands.

It is in this letter that Monmort, with the height of gallan- try, expatiates extravagantly on that lady’s charms and capacities.

She first met John Locke in London about 1681 and thereafter was by far his closest friend. They had common philosophical and theological interests, and also exchanged most affectionate letters under the names of Philander and Philoclea. Locke fled to Holland after the Rye House Plot of 1683 and in 1685 Damaris married Sir Thomas Masham, whose youngest son by his first maniage manied Abigail Hill, so influential at the court of Queen Anne. Sir Thomas and Damaris lived at Oates, in High Laver in Essex, near Harlow. When Locke returned to England in the wake of the invasion of William HI, the Mashams gave him a home for the rest of his life; there Newton visited him on occasion. Locke died at Oates in 1704 while Lady Masham read the Psalms to him. Lady Masham’s philosophy was at first that of the Cambridge Platonists, but after she came to know Locke she largely adopted his empirical views, and seems to have contributed to some of his thoughts. She published theological works in which she defended his position in the Essay Concerning Human Understanding, although she never completely abandoned the neo—Platonism of her father.” As she once wrote to Locke, she had ‘no ill opinion of Platonists (since I have spent most of my life among philosophers of that sect)?“ Locke was no mathematician and had considerable difficulty with Newton’s Principia, although he wrote a review of it in the Bibliotheque Universelle. Those who, like Leibniz, opposed Newton’s natural philosophy, equally opposed Locke’s philosophy; they saw both as leading to atheism. Lady Masham left a long memoir of Locke” and wrote the article on him in the Great Historical Dictionary. CATHERINE BARTON ( 1 679-1 739) Catherine Barton was the daughter of Newton’s step-sister, Hannah Barton. She was about 17 when she came to keep house for Newton in London on his appointment to the Mint. The Lord Treasurer, the Earl of Halifax, his friend from Trinity, had obtained Newton’s appointment, and after Halifax’s wife died in in 1698, Catherine began a relationship with him. A very great deal of ink has been spent on that relationship, whether or not it was irregular, and if so, whether Newton knew, or approved, of it. Few facts are sure. Halifax made an exceptionally large bequest to her in his will, and Newton seems to have taken no notice of the relationship, except presumably when Halifax died and Catherine asked if she should return to N ewton. Newton also defended Cathen'ne’s interests under Halifax’s will. It is not even known if Catherine ever lived in Halifax’s house, for when Jonathan Swift, a close friend, dined with her alone on occasion in 17 l 1, he did so in her lodgings. Swift was a friend of Halifax also, but never apparently met the two together nor did he mention them together.

In his funeral sermon on Boyle, Gilbert Bumet also delivered an encomium upon Lady Ranelagh: ‘She had lived the longest on the most public scene and made the greatest figure in all the revolutions of these kingdoms for above fifty years, of any woman of that age.’ She also had no inconsiderable part in the scientific revolution. QUEEN CHRISTINA OF SWEDEN (1629-1689) Christina succeeded as Queen Regnant of Sweden when her father, Gustavus Adolphus, was killed at the Battle of Lutzen. She was exceedingly learned and keenly interested in theology, philosophy, astrology and alchemy. The depredations of the Swedish armies in German lands brought her many pictures, medals and sculptures. Her collection of pictures was probably the finest in Europe when she lived in Rome. Some of her paintings are now in England, for instance the Venus and Cupid in the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge and the Venus with a Shell in the National Gallery in Edinburgh. She corresponded with Gassendi and embraced his Epicurean philosophy and atomic theories, and she both corresponded with Descartes and invited him to Sweden, where he died from pneumonia. Her letters were not just chit-chat, she was able to tell Descartes that Plato had anticipated one of his supposedly original ideas?’ Christina abdicated and converted to Roman Catholicism in 1664. She moved to Rome and eventually lived in the Palazzo Riario, which, in the next century, was enlarged into the Palazzo Corsini. It is now the seat of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, and Christina’s principal apartments are the rooms of the President and other officers and the meeting rooms of the sections. Christina had her collections there and her musicians, instrumentalists and singers played there for her and her circle. There, an adept like Newton, she practised alchemy. She reassembled in Rome the Accademia Reale that she had formed in Sweden, and supported another academy, that of Ciampini at the Oratory of St Philip Neri in the church of Santa Maria in Valicella (the Chiesa Nuova). Those academies were not exclusively scientific, but the leading scientists belonged to them and Christina’s regal patronage enabled them to pursue natural knowledge at a time of hostile ecclesiastical opinion.“ G.—D. Cassini had dedicated a book to Christina5 and when later he came to Rome, she asked to join him in observing the comet of 1664. He subsequently persuaded her to set up an observatory in the grounds of her palace (now the Botanic Gardens) and to support a programme of observations of the Medicean satellites of Jupiter to use as clocks for the determination of longitude. While so engaged in November 1680, Cellio and Pontio detected the great comet of that year as it approached the Sun. Edmond Halley saw it about the same time in England just before he set out for Paris, and he and his friend Robert Nelson saw its brilliant tail as they were on the road to Paris near Boulogne. They arrived in Paris on Christmas Eve and immediately after Christmas, whenever the nights were clear, Halley observed it with Cassini at the new Observatoire. Just before Halley left Paris in May 1681, Cassini gave him a copy of Notes Rec. R. Soc. Land. 51 (1), 1-12 (1997) © 1997 The Royal Society LADIES IN THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION by SIR ALAN COOK, F.R.S. 8 Wootton Way, Cambridge CB3 9LX, UK INTRODUCTION Two exhibitions were recently held in the Library of the Society, one on Women in Science and another on the Archives of the Scientific Revolution. The first did not go so far back as the scientific revolution, with one exception, the translation of N ewton’s Principia by the Marquise du Chatelet. Yet it was in the scientific revolution, conveniently taken as running from the middle of the seventeenth to the middle of the eighteenth century, that women are first known to have engaged in natural philosophy. Eight ladies certainly had some part in the scientific revolution, not just as tricoteuses watching the heads roll, but themselves helping to bring down the guillotine upon Aristotelians, Cartesians, astrologers, hermetics and mystics. The century of the scientific revolution was an exciting time in the arts as well as the sciences throughout Europe. Women appeared physically upon the stage as singers and actresses, and symbolically as playwrights and poets, novelists and belles lettristes, musicians and painters. Men were highly aware that a new age was dawning and women enjoyed it also; a few at least were not backward in intellectual innovation. They were part of the general effloresence of critical enquiry and artistic outburst. A comet symbolizes the inception of the scientific revolution and another its achievement. That of 1654 attracted innumerable millenarian, mystical and hermetic speculations; the return of Halley’s comet in 1759 was widely seen as the final confirmation of rational Newtonian mechanics. A lady of distinction is associated with each. Queen Christina of Sweden was very interested in the earlier comet and some think that her abdication and conversion to Roman Catholicism were influenced by its appearance. A century later Mme Lepaute, a Parisienne, organized the calculations by which the return of Halley’s comet was successfully predicted. Between those two, six other ladies had some distinct part in the scientific revolution. All eight had some connection with Fellows of the Royal Society. Ladies in the scientific revolution 11 eclipse of 1715 over the south of England.” In extensive calculations such as the cometary calculations, it is important to organize the work in a systematic manner, and it appears that that was Mme Lepautes’s especial contribution, though not the only one. In his account of the recovery of the comet, de Lalande wrote that the immense ensemble of detail would have seemed frightening to him if Madame Lepaute, who had for a long time applied herself successfully to astronomical calculations, had not taken part in the work: Mme Lepaute nous fut d’un si grand secours, que nous n’aurions point osé sans elle entreprendre cet énorme travail, ou il fallait calculer pour tous les degrés et pour cent cinquante ans les distances et les forces de chacune des deux planetes par rapport a la comete. Je lui ai rendu justice a cet égard dans ma Théorie des Cométes. Six weeks after Clairaut announced his prediction to the Académie Royale des Sciences, Messier, de L’Isle’s assistant at the Naval Observatory in the Hotel de Cluny in Paris, found the comet on 21 January 1759; it later turned out that there had been earlier observations in Germany. The return of the comet virtually on time (perigee was in fact about a month earlier than predicted) was hailed as a powerful affirmation of Newtonian dynamics and of the regularity and predictability of the natural world. De Lalande could say, with some justified self-satisfaction: The universe beholds this year the most satisfactory phenomenon ever presented to us by astronomy; an event which unique until this day changes our doubts to certainty and our hypotheses to demonstration. It did that, and while it did not effect the scientific revolution on its own, it seemed to confirm and validate all that had gone before. Thereafter it became the conventional wisdom that the natural world was indeed governed by definite physical laws and evolved in strict conformity with them. The Enlightenment had dawned. CONCLUSION The Enlightenment was indebted to the biological as well as to the physical sciences. Women seem not to have been so prominent in biology, but one at least, Elizabeth Blackwell, published a substantial herbal at the end of the revolution.” Two women are clear precursors of later women scientists. Elizabeth Hevelius was followed as an observer by Caroline Herschel, Mme Lepaute as a calculator by Byron’s daughter, Ada Countess of Lovelace, the colleague of Babbage. Others supported their friends or relatives; Christina of Sweden and Caroline of Anspach were learned and active patrons. Catherine Barton puts us in her debt for important things we know about the scientific revolution. No doubt the scientific revolution would have happened had those ladies never lived, but they surely influenced the course it took. Each of them also, in different ways, seems to have made life for their friends and colleagues more agreeable, more interesting, more elegant and more refined. Ladies in the scientific revolution 9 QUEEN CAROLINE (1683-1737) Caroline of Anspach, Princess of Wales and wife of George II, was a forceful politician who maintained her husband’s interest in perpetual disputes with his parents, and who strongly supported Walpole throughout his ministry.'5 She was educated mainly by her grandmother and was keenly interested in philosophy. She was known as the Minerva of the Age. She kept up a philosophical correspondence with Leibniz after she came to England on the death of Queen Anne, but he did not get all the support he looked for in his disputes with Newton. She knew Newton quite well and asked him, towards the end of his life, for an explanation of his biblical chronology. Newton wrote it for her alone but somehow it came into the hands of a French priest, Fr Souciet, who disagreed with a key point in it. Newton based his timescale on the date at which the centaur Cheiron is supposed to have fixed the position of the First Point of the constellation, Aries. Souciet thought Newton got it wrong. After Newton was dead Halley wrote two papers in his capacity as Astronomer Royal as well as a friend of Newton’s, in which he advanced astronomical arguments, turning on the identification of certain stars, to show that Newton had been right, and consequently that his dates for the Siege of Troy and the Voyage of the Argonauts were also correct. It is curious indeed that so long after the publication of the Principia, Newton and Halley could argue about the mythical Cheiron as if he were historical.” When Halley had been some time at the Royal Observatory, he asked that Queen Caroline should visit Greenwich. She came, and when she learnt that his salary as Astronomer Royal was £100, suggested she should get it raised. Halley is supposed to have declined, on the grounds that his successors might seek the post for the money instead of to advance knowledge. Caroline did however arrange that he should have the half pay of a Post Captain to which he was entitled, as he had held a commission as a Captain in the Royal Navy. EMILIE DU CHATELET (1706-1749) The first and only translation of Newton’s Principia into French was made by the Marquise du Chatelet.” Gabrielle-Emilie le Tonnelier de Breteuil, Marquise du Chatelet, Emilie to her contemporaries, was a daughter of the family of Breteuil that produced a number of distinguished administrators and diplomats from the seventeenth century up to the end of the nineteenth. By a curious circumstance the Marquis de Breteuil still inhabits the family chateau to the south—west of Paris. When the Revolution broke out the heir was a minor and a ward of the Crown. The various revolutionary and Napoleonic authorities continued to exercise their guardianship until, when he was of age and things had quietened down, the Marquis was able to take possession of his inheritance. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures, set up to maintain the metric system, occupies the Pavillon de Breteuil on the edge of the http://www.hoasm.org/VIIIA/Geminiani.htm| HOASM: Francesco Geminiani Page 1 of 1 Francesco Geminiani (1687-1762) Italian violinist, composer, and theorist. Probably a pupil of Lonati, Alessandro Scarlatti, and C_or_efl. He served the court at Lucca, 1707-10, and evidently led a theater orchestra in Naples, 1711. He arrived in England in 1714, performing at court in 1716 with Handel at the harpsichord. In 1726 he released concerto grosso arrangements and embellished versions of Core||i's op. 5 sonatas. He played in a cycle of twenty subscription concerts beginning on December 9, 1731; other public appearances were rare, however, his income deriving from royal patronage and teaching, with Festing, Dubourg, and Avison among his pupils. He visited Ireland several times; on the first, in 1733, and on subsequent visits, he gave concerts at the Spring Garden. In 1739 he received a 14-year exclusive privilege or copyright for publication of his music in Britain, and in 1741 was granted the same for 12 years in France; among his offerings in the 1740s were a set of keyboard arrangements of his violin solos (Paris, 1743) and a collection of Concerti Grossi op. 5. His The Inchanted Forestwas staged as a ballet-pantomime at Paris in 1754. The treatises on which his modern reputation rests appeared between 1748 and 1760; they include A Treatise on the Art of Good Taste in Music(London, 1749), The Art ofAccompaniment(London, ca. 1754), and the famous The Art of Playing on the Vio/in(London, 1754). His final years were divided between England and Ireland, with his last documented public appearance on March 3, 1760; an observer praised the 72-year-old violinist's "fine and elegant taste, and the perfection of time and tune." A full account of his life is in Enrico Careri, Francesco Geminiani, 1687-1762(Oxford, 1993).

For this was no isolated instance of such practice, since in 1735 he issued six further arrangements of a similar kind of trios from Corelli's Op. 1 and Op. 3 collections and, in l 743 six more concerto arrangements of his own violin sonatas Op. 4. One reason, no doubt, was Geminiani‘s didactic wish to make his teacher's music available to a wider cross—section of string players than merely soloist and continuo group. Another reason, though, may be sought in the concert life of early eighteenth—century England when, as the essayist Roger North testified, Corelli's music had rapidly become the staple diet of players and music clubs alike: "Then came over Corelly's first consort that cleared the ground of all other sorts of musick whatsoever," wrote North in about 1726. "By degrees the rest of his consorts, and at last the conciertos [0p. 6] came, all of which are to the musitians like the bread of life."

Handel's influence both upon the cultural milieu of his day and upon his younger English contemporaries can hardly be overstated. During the last decades of the previous century England had learned much about Italian and French musical styles from Purcell and had become warmly receptive to continental fashions. It was the beginning of the age of the "Grand Tour," when educated and wealthy citizens embarked on journeys to Italy, France, Germany and The Netherlands. As often as not they returned home full of enthusiasm for the academies, theatres, opera houses and concert life which they had encountered in Europe. England, in short, became a welcoming host to foreign virtuosos, impresarios, singers and composers: "He who in the present time wants to make a profit out of music betakes himself to England," wrote the Hamburg theorist. critic and composer Johann Mattheson in 1713 (Das Neu- Erofirzete Orchester). In England as, to begin with, in Germany, the chief model for instrumental music was Corelli, whose compositions first became known in London towards the end of the seventeenth century. In 1715 John Walsh senior — he and his son were soon to become Handel's publishers — issued Corelli's 12 Concerti Grossi Op. 6, from which time they were performed, adapted and, from all accounts, universally loved. The English music historian Sir John Hawkins mentions an occasion in 1724 when an enthusiastic group of amateurs, having just acquired Corelli's Op. 6 from a bookseller, "played the whole 12 concertos through, without rising from their seats" (History of the Science and Practice of Music, 1776). Not surprisingly, therefore, although concertos by Corelli's contemporary, Torelli, and the up—to—date fashionable Venetian concertos by Vivaldi were published in England, the prevailing taste remained constant to the Corellian Concerto Grosso. Among the very first composers to have concertos printed in England was Francesco Geminiani. Geminiani_ was born in Lucca and studied the violin first under Carlo Arnbrogio Lonati in Milan, then Corelli in Rome. It is also possible that he studied composition with Alessandro Scarlatti in Naples. In 1707 Geminiani returned to his native town of Lucca, where he played in the town orchestra for three years before taking up a position in Naples in 1711 as leader of the opera orchestra. Dr Burney records in his General History of Musk (Vol. 4, 1789) a second—hand account that while there Geminiani "was soon discovered to be so wild and unsteady a timist, that instead of regulating and conducting the band, he threw it into confusion; as none of the performers were able to follow him in his ‘tempo rubato' and other unexpected accelerations and relaxations of measure." It is doubtful whether there is any truth in this http://www.islandnet.corn/~arton/bqxgem.html 25/ 1 1/00 Page 160 Geminiani, Francesco: Biography Page 1 of 1 Site <§.,.:é 1 %'}9{3 "l"i1noti“:y A.

Geminiani was active as a teacher and performer in London from 1714 where he quickly earned a reputation for his dazzling technique. He once agreed, conditionally, to a request that he perform on the violin if Handel would accompany him. From 1733 until his death Geminiani lived in Dublin. Most of Geminiani's compositions are concerti for violin. His greatest legacy was his Art of Playing the Violin (London, 1730), published in English, and the first book of its kind (twenty—two years before Leopoid Moz.art's Violinschule).

In 1714 Geminiani came to England where his playing quickly gained him the support of leading figures at court and among the aristocracy. Indeed. one of his pupils, the Earl of Essex, rescued him from prison when he ran into debt through his consuming passion of art—dealing and collecting. Geminiani left London for Dublin in 1733 where he built up a fine reputation as a teacher, performer. concert promoter and theorist. In that year he opened a Concert Room in Dublin, apparently using the upstairs premises for music and the rooms below for trading in pictures. Geminiani was not a prolific composer by the standards of his day but his sonatas and concertos, modeled to a great extent on those of his teacher, Corelli, reveal meticulous craftsmanship. In his later concertos, furthermore, and above all, perhaps, in his extended instrumental work in concerto grosso style, The lnchanted Forrest, inspired by a canto of Tasso's epic poem, Gerusalemme liberara, Geminiani reveals a passionate, even temperamental side to his craft which extends far beyond Corellian restraint. In his concerto writing Geminiani proves himself much less conservative and less limited in his musical vocabulary than is sometimes claimed. Indeed, he was something of a pioneer in that he expanded the Corellian concertino group of two violins and a cello to include an additional strand for viola. thus creating a texture of four rather than three part within the solo-tutti framework; and he further changed the balance of sound between solo and tutti by dispensing with the viola strand in the ripieno in all but his last set of concertos (Op. 7). Geminiani's finest concertos are the six issued in 1732 as his Op. 3, and which he revised and reissued in full score in about 1755. In the opinion of Burney — usually a stern critic of Geminiani — the Op. 3 concertos "established his character, and placed him at the head of all the masters then living, in this species of composition" (General History of Music, Vol. 4, 1789). The Op. 3 concertos, though representative of Geminiani's finest work, were not his earliest essay in the form. Two sets of concertos preceded them — the six printed as his Op. 2, earlier in the same year and, in 1726 a set of 12 published in two parts. These works, issued without an opus number, are arrangements of Corelli's celebrated l2 violin sonatas Op. 5, published in Rome in 1700. No publication enhanced Corelli's already fine reputation more than this collection of solo violin sonatas with basso continuo on which, as Burney so aptly put it, "all good schools for the violin have been since founded." Geminiani's arrangements of his teacher's violin sonatas are both sensitive and technically skilled. Throughout the set he retains Corelli's thematic material and basic harmonic structure while extending the imaginative character of the music by means of richer textures and the employment of newly developed string techniques. Here, as in all his subsequent concertos, we find a "concertino" group of quartet as opposed to trio texture, while the ripieno consists of violins in two parts, cello and bass. Corelli's formal clarity, however, and his simply expressive idiom are carefully preserved. We may reasonably enquire as to why Geminiani made the effort and took such evident care and delight in arranging Corelli‘s violin http://www.islandnet.corn/~arton/bqxgem.html 25/] 1/00 Brook Taylor (1685-1731), Mathematician page 1 of 1 flifiure Iibrmy II"l'£,¥"{?5(j§LJCtI€f:¥'l I sitter A-Z I artist A-Z I aAdw,m€.er::I S£2‘&3.lCI"l | :~2aa{:;t1 help Sitter "” Artist ‘‘ Portrait ‘‘ I-_m._m‘_-_-W Brook Taylor (1685-1731), Mathematician Sitter in 2 portraits N PC1001 9.2.0 Brook Taylor by Louis Goupy watercolour on vellum, oval, 1720 Not on display MPG 5320 The Children of John Taylor of Bifrons Park (Olive Taylor; Brook Taylor; Margaret Taylor; Mary Taylor; Bridges Taylor; ' Nathaniel Taylor; John Taylor; Upton Taylor) by John Closterman oil on canvas, 1696(?)

Rising clear through two storeys to a complex vaulted ceiling, it is the focal point of Beningbrough, from which all the other principal rooms rooms radiate. The plaster keystones over the doon/vays, painted to resemble stone, are especially fine, and feature grotesque masks vomiting a string of husks from their mouths. On the massive chimney-piece sits Christopher Hewetson's bust of Pope Clement XIV, a souvenir of Margaret and Giles Ear|e's Italian tour in the 1770s. The portraits celebrate the rulers of early eighteenth-century Britain: Queen Anne, the last of the Stuarts; George I, the first of the Hanoverians; George II, and his eldest son, Frederick, Prince of Wales, who died before he could become King. In the background of the last is the Temple at Carlton House. Despite being on very bad terms portraits from the terms with his parents, the Prince of Wales chose to live next National Portrait Gallery on display door, in the White House. The Smoking Room The builder of Beningbrough, John Bourchier, probably used this as his business room. In the cornice are the first of the bold wood carvings for which the house is justly famous. The portraits relate to the 1688 Revolution, which deposed the Catholic James II from the throne and replaced him with the Protestant William of Orange. The seven bishops who opposed James ||'s Catholic religious policy, and were imprisoned in the Tower of London for their pains, are commemorated in the painting to the left of the entrance door.

The corridor outside stretches the entire length of the house, Portrait from the creating one of the dramatic views of which Baroque architects National Portrait Gallery on display architects were so fond. The State Closet In many Baroque houses the principal bedrooms for the family and their more important guests were on the ground floor, and were arranged in connecting suites known as “apartments”. Elaborate protocol governed how far an eighteenth-century visitor was invited to penetrate along the line of progressively more private chambers. Upsetting such protocol, we enter the most intimate of these rooms first, the State Closet. The cupboard on the inside wall held that necessity of eighteenth- century life, the chamber pot. The fireplace straddles the corner of the room and has a stepped overmantel for the display of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, a fashion popularised in Britain by William l|l's Queen, Mary, in the late seventeenth-century. Many of the smaller chambers at Beningbrough contain similar overmantels similarly decorated. The pine panelling would originally have been painted, but was stripped in the 19203 by the Chesterfields following the fashion of the day. The State Dressing Room The room occupies the south-east corner of the house, and from it one can enjoy another Baroque vista along the entire Portrait from the National Portrait Gallery on display Portraits from the National Portrait Gallery on display Portraits from the National Portrait Gallery on display south front of the house to the matching dressing-room at the opposite corner. The mezzotint engravings liberally hung here are based on Sir Godfrey Kne||er's Kit-cat Club paintings, many of which are now displayed in the Dining Room. The small walnut I secretaire of c.1700 is one of the many pieces of furniture in the house bequeathed to the National Trust by Lady Megaw. The State Bedchamber This was the second-best bedroom at Beningbrough and was perhaps used by John Bouchier himself. The carving of the overdoor surrounds and the frieze, the latter featuring masks of the four seasons, is among the most adventurously three- dimensional in the house. The state bed is a superb example of the early eighteenth- century upholsterer's craft. The crimson damask pelmets over the windows were made by the same craftsman to complement the bed, turning the room into a unified decorative decorative ensemble in typical Baroque fashion. At that period such beds were powerful status symbols. They were often the most important piece of furniture in a house, sometimes costing more than all the other contents put together. Among the portraits is Handel's patron, the Duke of Chandos. It is the surviving part of a double portrait showing the Duke being painted by his wife; her portrait is lost but her foot and her easel and canvas can still be made out at the right. The Dining Room This plainly panelled room is more sober than those of the State Apartment, as befits its more public function. From the windows one can enjoy fine views over the open parkland which was laid out in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth- centuries to the south of the house. The walls are double hung with portraits from Sir Godfrey Knel|er's famous Kit-cat Club series, still in their original matching gilt frames. The club met at Christopher Cat's Fleet Street tavern and took its name from his mutton pies, known as ‘Kit cats‘. The members were writers and politicians pledged to uphold the 1688 Revolution, and to defeat the Catholic King of France, Louis XIV. Among the more notorious was Charles Mohun, twice tried from murder before he was 20. Within the limits of the half-length format, Kneller demonstrated his considerable skill in varying pose and mood to suit the sitter. Further Kit-cat Club portraits are on display at the National Portrait Gallery. Formally arranged around the edge of the room are nine dining-chairs with vase-shaped splat backs and fine carving on on the knees. in the eighteenth century such chairs were brought up to the table only when it was in use. The Drawing Room This was originally two rooms, Beningbrough's principal bedchamber and ante-room, for the use of honoured guests. Probably in the 1830s the dividing wall was taken down to make a larger reception room; the previous division is marked by the ceiling beam. More exquisite carving enlivens the two different friezes. In the former bedchamber the frieze and the cresting of the chimney—piece include the monogram of John Bouchier and his wife, Mary -- 'JMB'. Much of the furniture in this room is particularly fine. Between the windows are mirrors with walnut frames intricately inlaid with marquetry and 'oyster‘ veneer, and matching tables below, similarly inlaid. They may be the work of the royal cabinet-maker, Gerrit Jensen, c.1690. At the far end of the room is a Queen Anne bureau-bookcase in the same walnut 'oyster‘ veneer, and a set of mahogany armchairs and sofa, in the Chinese style c.1760. Over the fireplace at the near end of the room the portrait of Portraits from the National Portrait Gallery on display Portrait from the National Portrait Gallery on display Portraits from the National Portrait Gallery on display Portraits from the National Portrait Gallery on display Handel holds pride of place, with to the right Susannah Cibber, one of his singers in Messiah. The portrait over the door opposite the window, in another elaborately carved _ frame, may be the builder of Beningbrough, John Bourchier. The other overdoor portraits are probably of members of his family. The Dressing Room and Closet These rooms correspond to the State Dressing Room and Closet at the opposite corner of the house, and were the final chambers in a similar 'apartment'. The lacquered and japanned furniture reflects that western taste for the oriental which the importers of the East India Company were encouraging in the eighteenth century. The porcelain in both rooms is also Chinese, decorated with predominantly green glazes in the style known as 'fami||e venei Over the cabinet is Knel|er's portrait of the 1st Earl of Halifax, who established the Bank of England. The Conservatory This typically Victorian feature was added to the house by the Dawnays in the late nineteenth century. The plants are mainly cool-coloured species chosen for their scent and foliage. The Blue Bedroom This room occupies a less important position on the gloomier, north side of the house, and so is less elaborately decorated than those along the south front. The bed is a pair to that in the State Bedchamber, with blue damask hangings copied from the originals, which had disintegrated beyond repair. The gentleman in exotic Turkish dress over the fireplace is the 4th Earl of Sandwich, who gave his name to the sandwich, which he ate while gambling. The tapestry tells the story of the Greek Greek hero Ulysees, who was befriended by the princess Nausicaa, when he was shipwrecked on the island of Scheria. The Great Staircase This is as grand a public space as the adjoining Hall, with similarly elaborate plastenlvork and vaulting. Family and guests would process from the State Apartment up these stairs to the Saloon on the floor above. The cantilevered stairs are now unfortunately too fragile to be used, but the wooden balustrades, delicately carved to resemble wrought iron, can still be admired. The massive English mahogany commode has equally well- carved lion heads on its corners. Above it hangs Reynolds's portrait of the 1st Earl of Bath, a redoubtable enemy of the prime minister, Sir Robert Walpole; he is shown in his peer‘s robes. The Secondary Stairs Visitors take the stairs used by the family and their servants on on more everyday occasions. At the top is another of Beningbrough's axial corridors, which provides a fine view of the Hall from above. The wrought-iron grilles are probably by the leading Derbyshire blacksmith, Robert Bakewell. The Saloon The Saloon is the principal public room on the first floor, and would have been used for hosting county balls and other large public gatherings. It has been redecorated with appropriate lavishness, the capitals of the pilasters being picked out in gold leaf. Either side of the fireplace are the masterpieces of John Closterman, one of the leading portrait painters in England in the late seventeenth century. On the left are the Children of John Taylor of Bifrons Park, Kent. A rose is passed from hand to hand, a play of the family's motto, ‘fame is sweeter than white rose‘. On the right are the 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury and his brother. Both were moral philosophers and are shown dressed in the classical costume of their hero, the Greek philosopher Plato. National Portrait Gallery on display Portraits from the National Portrait Gallery on display Portraits from the National Portrait Gallery on display Chinese porcelain displayed on the chimney-piece. Lady Chesterfie|d‘s Bathroom Lady Chesterfield had this room redecorated in the 1920s in apricot and marbled black. The sunken bath, with its recessed taps, also reflects the taste of the time. The basin is much older, probably dating from the building of the house. The underside is covered in lively carving. The Reading Room Here visitors have a chance to sit down and relax on the sofas and chairs provided. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, who bought Beningbrough in 1917, are commemorated in full- length portraits. Lady Chesterfield ran a successful stud farm for race-horses and was the last private owner of the estate. The Upper Corridor On the upper landing of the Great Staircase is a marquetry panel bearing the initials of the Elizabethan owner of Beningbrough, Sir Ralph Bourchier. it is one of the few surviving relics of the manor house that he built near the present house. The Attic Floor Returning through the Saloon, visitors ascend to the attic floor. This is now part of the National Portrait Gallery's exhibition, but the rooms were probably intended originally as lesser family bedrooms rather than as servants‘ garrets. Several of the rooms have oak panelling from the Elizabethan manor house, which was re-used by John Bourchier in his new mansion. These would no doubt have provided effective insulation from the cold and draughts of a Yorkshire winter. The display on the top floor has been arranged by the National Portrait Gallery to illustrate the development of portraiture between 1688 and 1760 in terms of social and architectural history. The various themes are explored on the accompanying wall-panels and labels. Room 1: The Portrait This room, to the left at the head of the stairs, is devoted to the the different media employed by portraitist -- paintings, sculpture, pastels, drawings and miniatures -- and the prices patrons would be expected to pay for portraits of varying sizes and including particular accessories, such as a dog or a view of a house. It also demonstrates the shift from formal to informal portraiture characteristic of the age of Rococo. Both types of portrait, however, continued to flourish side by side, and were often employed by the same artist. From time-to- time changes will be made in the display to minimise the risk of light-sensitive works on paper suffering from fading or deterioration. Room 2: Architecture The left side of the corridor is concerned with the principal phases in the development of architecture in the late seventeenth century and the eighteenth century -- Baroque, Palladian and Neo-classical -- with a portrait of John Carr of York , who was associated with Robert Adam in the building of Harewood House, completing the sequence at the end. On the right are shown the decorators, from Verrio to Angelica Kauffmann, and the authors of the treatises and manuals on architecture which were responsible for the proliferation of the 'Georgian' style throughout Britain. Room 3: ‘Who was Who’ This is the largest gallery on the top floor and once contained several small servants‘ bedrooms. It commands a fine view north to the Hambleton Hills. The different types of portrait shown in this room demonstrate the niceties of social status in the eighteenth century. Two portraits of exceptional interest are the large group portrait of Francis Ayscough with his pupils, The Prince of Wales (later George III) and the Duke of York, which was cut up into pieces c.1917, and only reunited in 1976, and the double portrait, Christopher Anstey and his daughter, Mary , showing her holding a doll with hair dressed in the outrageous style of the mid-1770s.

Room 4: Collectors This room, at the end of the corridor on the right, is hung with portraits of some of the great collectors of the age, together with examples of the works of art they amassed. Especially revealing is the contrast between the tastes of Sir Robert Walpole and his son Horace. The former housed his collection of fine Old Masters in a Palladian country home in Norfolk. The latter collected curiosities and ancient furniture to embellish a Gothick villa, Strawberry Hill, in the environs of Portraits from the London, a creation which was his lite work and to which he National Portrait Gallery on display was always ready to admit visitors. Room 5: Life beyond the house In this room the history of the landscape garden is traced. Lancelot ‘Capabi|ity' Brown left a legacy which can still be seen in the landscape parks of many country houses. Engravings from Costumes of Yorkshire Illustrated, 1814, show the dress of farmers and labourers, and photographs of Portraits from the Hogarth's Election series display something of the seamier National Portrait Gallery on display side of contemporary life. home I search the collection I what's on? llabout the gallery I visitor information I npglaround the country I search the website education I research I publications I picture library I gift & bookshop I membership I sponsorship I venue hire I press ‘ Go to a large print, text-only ’/ version of this site All images and text are subject to copyright protection. 05 July 2004 Comments and suggestions National Portrait Gallery, St Martin's Place, London WC2H OHE. Tel: 020 7306 0055 John Closterman \ Possibly born Osnabruck, son of a painter. Studied in Paris with Henry Tiburin for two years under Francois de Troy. Settled in London 1681. Associated with John Riley until the latter's death in 1691. At first painted drapery for Riley, but was painting portraits on his own by the mid-1680s. Had a preference for baroque poses, with highly stylized draperies and was considered by Simon to be ‘one of the most original Baroque painters working in England‘. In the 1690s he attracted the patronage of the Dukes of Marlborough and Somerset. Painted ‘The Children of John Taylor of Bltrons Park’ c. 1698, and went on to Rome 1699, where he painted ‘Carlo Maratti'. Greatly influenced by the Antique, which was more in accord with his new patron the '3rd Earl of Shaftesbury', c. 1700- 1 (NPG London). On August 1705 he advertised in the newspapers that he was leaving at Christmas for Hanover, and atlenivards to several Courts of Germany, but would finish commissions. He did not leave until April 1706, when he sold his pictures by auction. Believed to have devoted much of his time in his latter years to dealing in old masters. Reported to have married a ‘worthless girl, who robbed him of all he possessed, and then ran away: this sent him mad and he soon afterwards died‘. Buried London 24 May 1711.

Compiled from the celebrated archive accumulated by Sir Brinsley Ford, this volume provides brief formal biographies of these travellers, their Italian itineraries, and selective accounts of their experiences as described in contemporary sources. While the majority of travellers were young persons making the grand tour--discovering antiquity, the temptations of a brisk and irregular art market, the squalor and the riches of Italian life and travel--there were also many older visitors intent on some professional purpose, including prison reformer John Howard, agronomist Arthur Young, and musicologist Charles Burney. More than three hundred artists, sculptors, and architects made the trip. The dictionary includes British antiquaries who became guides or art dealers in Rome or Naples, among them Mark Parker, Thomas Jenkins, and Colin Morison. And, there were those who sought a warmer climate for their health, disconsolate Jacobites who gathered round the exiled Stuart court in Rome, and unsettled eccentrics, bankrupts, and misfits. Some figures in the dictionary may be familiar, such as diplomats Horace Mann and William Hamilton or restless spirits Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and the Fourth Earl of Bristol (Bishop of Derry), but much of the information is less well known, drawn from archival material in Great Britain, Ireland, and Italy. Such sources include the meticulous travel journal of antiquary Richard Rawlinson, letters of Father John Thorpe over twenty-five years, and lively correspondence from Rev. Thomas Brand during three Italian tours. John lngamells is former director of The Wallace Collection.

This remarkable dictionary identifies over 6000 British and Irish travellers who toured Italy in the eighteenth century—-a group that included young men making the grand tour, well-known diplomats and artists, various eccentrics and misfits, and many others. The volume provides brief formal biographies, Italian itineraries, and selective accounts of the visitors‘ experiences as recorded in contemporary sources. "No one with a penchant for art history can ignore it and a wander through its pages will not only yield up a deal of stem research but also an intriguing insight into the life style of your average Grand Tourist."--Mary Russell, The Irish Times "Finally I would recommend the book for the light it casts on relations among the various arts and learned disciplines in the 18th century when volcanoes, rocks, classical gems, coins, sculpture and ruined temples could form elements of a single mental field in a way we find hard to imagine."--Robert Harbison, Building Design "This dictionary is informative, well written, and in places even funny. . . . Much of the delight of this book lies in hearing the protagonists speak with their own voices, or brought to life by those of their contemporaries. . . . Like all dictionaries, it is as valuable in telling us what we didn't think we wanted to know as in telling us what we did."--Isabel Carlisle, The Spectator "One of the most formidable achievements of scholarship in British or any other art history of modern times. . . . This is an outstanding work of reference founded upon original research that will provide almost limitless delight for those merely browsing."--Apollo "[This] is no ordinary reference book; it is the Wisden of the Grand Tour. And, like the great Bible of cricket, students of the Tour should have it constantly at their elbow, to educate, entertain, and to mediate upon. . . . A gold-mine of information."—-Martin Postle, Apollo (different review from the one above) "This handsome biographical dictionary is a remarkable work of scholarship, and of publishing too, for few greater bargains have appeared in recent years."--Taxon "The Dictionary is unique in its comprehensiveness. . . . Packed with anecdotes about the famous, the infamous and many people otherwise forgotten, all briskly recounted by their contemporaries."--Hugh Honour, London Review ofBooks "Surprisingly handy in use despite its 1,000 pages, this dictionary can be warmly recommended as both a valuable reference work and a good read."-—Gertrud Seidmann, HSA Journal "No-one interested in any aspect of eighteenth-century Italy, let alone the Grand Tour, can afford to be without this excellent volume."--Bur/ington Magazine "Few reference books are more distractingly readable, or more likely to be useful to scholars of the period."--Grevel Lindop, Times Literary Supplement “The Dictionary, in short, is an essential companion for the period, a general repertory of perfectly proportioned annotations that should in future make much more scholarly commentary on nineteenth-century texts superfluous. What Hill-Powel and the Yale Walpole began, Ford and lngamells have completed."--Ian Jackson, The Book Collector Published for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art $75.00 "Splendid. . . . The Dictionary is a delight, scholarly throughout and many of the individual entries amusing or fascinating. . . .

LeFaye 26 (Dec 1798) I hope it is true that Edward Taylor is to marry his cousin Charlote. Those beautiful dark eyes will then adorn another Generation at least in all their Purity LeFaye 57 (9 Nov 1798) [Memoir], [1], and [LeFaye-89]: In one sense, these are the same book, just updated every fifty years or so. (The Austen-Leighs had passed away before Ms. Le Faye's latest update of 1989.) Given that, you might think that you need only read the latest update. In fact, that is the case if you are only going to read one biography. You won't be disappointed because Ms. Le Faye is a scholar with the British Museum and has established herself as an important and reliable Jane-Austen authority. Also, unlike family members, she is willing to admit that Jane and some of the other Austens may—on rare occasions, surely——-just may have had a bubble or a blemish. That is a very useful attitude. [LeFaye-89] may be the most complete and most informative biography; however, the family members carried the genetic codes and cultural influences for writing and composition and, so, I strongly recommend the first two versions as well.

Policy OTT4 of the Gibraltar Tl ls flbl ‘V \‘* ‘A m\ ‘mission for developments which he historic town walls will be refused". IX , - :ion of the interior of the Bastion amt, Le. H‘. $773 . Jrge. It proposes a creation of a new u[.J].J\.l IIUUI \..\JV\.l\..\..l L17 (.1 dome. .'he plans do not only destroy large parts of the building, they also completely destroy its integrity. This is a listed ancient monument supposedly protected by the law. It is part of Gibraltar's application for world heritage status. Why is this being done? Quite simply to create at least ten lanes of ten pin bowling. Whilst there might be such a demand for ten pin bowling and I make no comment on this, surely another site could be used for this; the 19 storey King's Wharf perhaps or even the one billion pound east side leisure development. The King's Bastion should be restored making the most of its three centuries of heritage, creating a leisure and heritage centre complimentary to its history, and once more becoming the icon it once was and one of the symbols of the Gibraltarian identity. Before Lord Foster came along, we had our own icons and one of these is The King's Bastion. For years the people of Gibraltar have been denied access to this building and it has been left derelict. This is no excuse to destroy it even more. This is a real opportunity for the Government to do the right thing, restore the Bastion and open it to the public for everyone's enjoyment and for Gibraltar's economic benefit. This opportunity must not be lost. In considering this application, I hope the Planning Commission is fully aware of the historic significance of this Bastion. The Funicular Development will impact drastically on Gibraltar's North Front. This consists of Grand Battery and associated works with Landport Ditch, the Glacis and the Inundation (or Laguna) with the enfilading Northern Defences. The West Front of the town stretches from Orange Bastion to South Bastion, and in the early 18th Century the Line Wall between the two Bastions was the old irregular medieval wall with occasional small gun platforms. Beyond this wall lay the sea. With no strong Battery this front was very weak. This dangerous situation was thankfully remedied by Sir ) William Green. William Green was born in 1725 and was chief engineer of Gibraltar from 1761 to 1783. He married the daughter of another successful military engineer, Justly Watson, who had been present in Gibraltar with his father Jonas during the 1727 Siege. Green's son, Colonel Justly Watson Green was "military preceptor" to Queen Victoria's father, the Duke of Kent. The Duke was a Governor of Gibraltar. Green's wife, Miriam who wrote a diary of her experiences during the Great Siege, died in 1782 after catching a chill in a bombproof on the Rock. Green died in 1811, his son died around 1828. Green's time in Gibraltar was not wasted. He improved the fortifications and also created the "Soldiers Artificers Company". In his report of 1770, he recommended remedial and new works and these were implemented by this Company of Artificers and amounted to about 30 million pounds in today's money. By far the most important of the works was The King's Bastion. This powerful Bastion placed in the Line Wall between Orange and South Bastion, transformed the very weak west front. It was designed by Green with the assistance of General Boyd, the Lieutenant Governor. During the Great Siege, it served as Eliott's command post. Without it, it is unlikely that Gibraltar would have been able to withstand the attack of the Spanish "Junk ships" in September 1782. So important was that event that the artist Copley chose it as the subject of his picture, which now hangs in the Guildhall library. This picture showing Eliott and his officers standing on The King's Bastion during this attack is so huge and impressive that the new Guildhall Art Gallery in the City of London was effectively built around it. The King's Bastion played such an important part in the Great Siege of 1779 - 1783 that it was chosen as the place to celebrate the victory and to invest Elliot with the Knighthood of the Bath. As Drinkwater says "that the Honours might be conferred where Victory was gained". The day chosen for the celebrations was St George's Day 23rd April 1783. For the occasion the Bastion was decorated with a colonnade. There was even a fireworks display. The Lieutenant Governor during the Siege, General Boyd, was so fond of Gibraltar and so proud of the Bastion that on his instructions he was buried in a lighting passage on the right face of The Bastion. His tomb remains there to this day. Green eventually became Chief Engineer of England, was promoted to Major General, received the thanks of Parliament (the first engineer to do so), and was created a Baronet. More importantly, by creating the artificers he transformed the Corps of Engineers. This he did in Gibraltar. He was a great man and although not born here surely also a great Gibraltarian. His greatest permanent work in Gibraltar is undoubtedly The King's Bastion where in the Great Siege "Victory was gained". Having just celebrated 300 years of British Gibraltar, it is somewhat cynical that this Government wants to destroy the very building that kept Gibraltar British all those years ago. Such wanton destruction is a dishonour to the memory of its architects, Green and Boyd. Major General Sir William Green Bt spent 22 years of his life tirelessly working as he put it "to preserve one of the first fortresses in Europe from even an Enemy's mediating an insult". The Enemy did mediate an insult but thanks to The King's Bastion they were sent packing. These plans for The King's Bastion are not the action of a Government committed to heritage. They are an insult and an outrage. The foundation stone of King's Bastion was laid in 1773 by Boyd. It is not just a huge Battery, it also had bombproof casemates for 800 men (for part of the Great Siege occupied by the 73rd (Highland) Regiment, later (1810) the Highland Light Infantry, and in 1959 with amalgamation the Royal Highland Fusiliers. In the 1840s, as part of the recommendations of Sir John Jones, two stories of defensible barracks were built in the gorge. In the 1870s, following the recommendations of Colonel WFD Jervois, the faces of the Bastion were re-constructed to take four 18 ton 10 inch RMLs and one 38 ton 12.5 inch RML. These guns are still there as are also some of the rare rope mantlets and other fittings. During the 20th Century the roof of the RML Battery was used for various guns and searchlights, the last military use being as a saluting battery in the 19505. From the 1900s the Bastion was used for the generation of electric light, and later a new generating station to the designs of N Langdon were added to the north of the right flank. Apart from its memorable involvement in the Great Siege, the Bastion has had a very interesting military history over 3 centuries. Furthermore, for most of its life the Bastion was the home of numerous regiments sent to Gibraltar to defend us. The Bastion also has an industrial history as for most of the 20th Century it supplied electric light to the civilian population . Although the Bastion has lain uncared for some time, fortune has conspired to ensure that it is in a remarkably good condition and there are sufficient elements of its history remaining to warrant a restoration and conversion to an award winning heritage/leisure centre. This development was made public in the "Gibraltar Chronicle" on 16th December 2004, a Government spokesman saying that the works at The King's Bastion would be commencing in June 2005. This was even before the formal planning application was advertised. There are even rumours circulating that this and the other big developments have all been announced at about the same time to confuse the Public. Why we need such a rush of developments at this particular time quite eludes me especially when the Chief Minister has said recently and I quote "the economy of Gibraltar has never in the entire history of Gibraltar, been more prosperous and successful than it is today". Surprisingly, the Gibraltar Heritage Trust, although vociferous in its opposition to the funicular, has not to my knowledge come out publicly against this development. For this Development to go ahead, the Government would need to give authority or licence after consultation and advice from the Trust. I can see no valid reason why the trustees, as protectors of our heritage and in accordance with their duties under the Gibraltar Heritage Ordinance could possibly approve of this wanton destruction. Indeed the Governor can not give a licence if the integrity of the Bastion would be impaired, which it obviously is. With a new chairman, it would be timely for the trustees to assert their independence and allay the fears of its members and the Public, and to publicly state their total opposition to this project. This is important because, contrary to normal practice elsewhere in the civilised world, the meetings of the Planning Commission are secret and not held in public. I smell a rat. I see a fait accompli. I hope I am wrong. I pray that the members of the Planning Commission will act independently. "For too long in Gibraltar, important and potentially controversial projects had been approved by governments and DPC behind closed doors and presented as a "fait accompli" when all decisions had already been made. The open planning process that we introduced was designed to avoid precisely this". These are the words of the Chief Minister in his speech of the 28th January 2005 to the Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses. Has anything changed? Will anything change? Or will our land and our inheritance be once again sold for a shortsighted political gain and the wrong economic benefit? We shall have to wait and see.

It is plausible that among these missionaries were some who were well trained in math and who took the trouble to read, and translate into Latin, the works of Indian mathematicians such as Madhava. I have no idea of where to look for books in Portugal but I have a little familiarity with www.bne.es, which is the on—line catalog of the Biblioteca Nacional de Espan~a.

Herbert Taylor - A Bifrons now passed to Brook’s eldest surviving brother, i S I i (9 Herbert, who had studied a Cambridge, from 1725-1726. He was licensed as a curate at St. Margaret’s I church, Canterbury in 1726 and that same year married Mary " vi _1\_l Wake, the daughter of Dr. Edward Wake, a p!ebeHH5!'y canon 7 /g of Canterbury Cathedral and nephew of Archbishop William iv,» "’ Wake. He was then promoted to be rector of St. Alphege and ‘ V“ simultaneously vicar of St. Mary Northgate parish in ’ Canterbury. In 1728 he was appointed to be the Six Preacher in Canterbury Cathedral. He obtained a dispensation to become vicar and, in 1729, rector of Hunton along with his other appointments. Apart from a number of children who died in infancy and did not survive their father, Herbert and Mary had two sons, Herbert and Edward. Herbert, son of Herbert (as he was known), was born in 1731 and accordingly baptised in St. Alphege’s church, Canterbury, while Edward was born in 1734 and therefore baptised in Patrixboume. Herbert, father of Herbert, had to wait until February 3rd, 1753, to become vicar of Patrixbourne as his predecessor, Dr. John Bowtell, occupied the post for nearly 55 years. He had been promised this living in the will of his father, John, who had conferred the right of patronage on his eldest child, Mary, on condition that she would appoint Herbert when the post became vacant. One of the tasks which Herbert assumed was the cataloguing of the 1078 books and a large quantity of individual sermons and pamphlets which John Bowtell had bequeathed for the use of parishioners. 431 of the books were located in the study over the hall of the Vicarage while the rest occupied 13 shelves in another study. The sermons and pamphlets were kept in a chest under lock and key. According to his will dated May 5th, 1738, his son, Edwzird, would inherit Bifrons. It was agreed on June 6th, 1761 that the properties of Herbert the father would pass on to Herbert the son on his death. This then facilitated the indentures of lease and release dated June 8th and 9th, 1761, by which the Herbert Taylors , K 17"“ . ,. ,4») an t.’\v~’ T ’.%"A’-"\/‘\,)z_,x/\/’.\)|$/V"‘li 1 5 H‘ g ‘ X (SR W1 5%; i<,»1w<’lwv—o§:sr Technical rtrit *~ Books. gtfiourses Browse Books What’s New Bestsellers Coming Soon Recommended Meet the Writers eisooks 3Efi3(§l?¥ lK9YW0id I s%Fch Cigtiorts 33 =-same Celebrate President's Day and §a3g:_;;5_ - this Weekend Only!

Stephen Lushington's long career as judge, Privy Councillor, political reformer and anti-slavery campaigner involved him in B|0gFaPhy many of the great political and legal controversies of the nineteenth century. He was adviser to Lady Byron during her _ separation from Lord Byron and defended Queen Caroline during her trial for adultery. In Law, Politics and the Church of I" Law > _ . England, Stephen Waddams examines both cases, as well as the records of the Consistory Court of the Diocese of Londor Great Britain shed important new light on matrimonial and family law during the period immediately preceding the modern era of divorce _> History courts. As Admiralty judge, Lushington dealt with such central political issues as the control of neutral shipping by the Britis navy during the Crimean War. He also played a crucial part in the ecclesiastical controversies that agitated the Church of England in the min-nineteenth century. He was required to make decisions on the most controversial political and theologic questions of his time in an era of radical change. Law, Politics and the Church of England considers afresh the relations between these three fundamental aspects of nineteenth-century life, and makes a major contribution not only to the legal hi of the period but to the study of Regency and Victorian England in general.

Waddams has wisely chosen not to make insupportable claims for importance on behalf of his subject. A result of this judicious decision, he presents a balanced account of Lushington, whose political and legal career has never earned widespread attention. This account will certainly interest those specialists whose fields Lushington's work touched. Within these boundaries the volume succeedsadmirably. . . . Scholars interested in the history of Victorian religious controversies will, I believe, find the account of Lushington's involvement in such disputes . . . especially rewarding.

History - Jeremy Gregory Although Waddams manages to place what is often dry legal history into aninteresting analysis, he does tend to indulge in I much quotation.

Henry Kensit, gentleman and by virtue of a Common Recovery with double Voucher duly suffered thereon and thereto in Court of Common Pleas at Westminster in Easter Term, 1829, wherein the said Herbert Edward Taylor was vouched before all the Manors and or hereditaments comprised in the mentioned indentures of lease and release. The Settlement included the therein said Pieces or Parcels of land and hereditaments secondly thereafter described with the ?app.uses? were conveyed, limited and assured to such uses and in such a manner as the said Edward Taylor and Herbert Edward Taylor should by any such Deed as then would jointly direct, limit or appoint and until and on default thereof to the use of the said Edward Taylor for his life with remainder to the use of the said Herbert Edward Taylor in fee simple. And that by indenture of lease and release of 8th—9th July, 1829, the release made between Edward Taylor and Herbert Edward Taylor of the one part and the said Edward, Lord Skelmersdale, and Sir Herbert Taylor of the other part, the several fields, closes or parcels of land secondly thereinafter described were and stood (together with divers other hereditaments) conveyed and assured unto and to the word of the said Edward, Lord Skelmersdale, and Sir Herbert Taylor, their heirs and assigns, upon trust absolutely to sell and dispose of some with ample power for that purpose and to stand possessed of the monies to arise from such sales as are thereinafter meant. The parties agreed to carry into effect the contract of exchange for a consideration of 10s. a piece by Edward, Lord Skelmersdale, and Sir Herbert Taylor paid to Thomas Wanstall.

An offshoot of Life in London was The English Spy: An Original Work, Characteristic, Satirical, and Humorous, illustrated with many coloured plates, of which the greater number are by “Robert Transit” (i.e. Robert Cruikshank), at least one (not in his pleasantest vein) by Rowlandson and a few by other hands, and written by “Bernard Blackmantle,” a pseudonym for Charles Molloy Westmacott. Westmacott, whose Points of Misery (1823) was illustrated by George Cruikshank, appears to have been a blackmailer; but he was a spirited and amusing writer, and, though The English Spy, both in text and in illustrations, is sometimes as coarse as ever was Smollett in word or Gillray in drawing, it contains many lively representations of life, high and low, gives much curious information about the customs and manners of the day and about real people still recognisable under their fictitious names, and preserves many tales of a past age. It attempts to do for many places in England what Life in London and Real Life in London had done for the metropolis. Eton and Westminster schools, the university of Oxford, Brighton, Bath and Cheltenham, London and the suburbs of London, Cowes, Portsmouth and Doncaster races, all find a place in Westmacott’s racy pages; and Robert Cruikshank’s plates are as full of vigour and variety as the author’s prose and verse. In or about 1823, a young artist, named Theodore Lane, brought to Pierce Egan a series of original and effective designs representing the life of an actor from his stage-struck days to his triumph; and round them Egan wrote The Life of an Actor, which was published in 1824. Though it suffers from all the faults of Egan’s flashy style, the book is well designed and interesting, while the footnotes are full of theatrical stories of various merit. It was Lane, also, who illustrated Egan’s Anecdotes, Original and Selected, of the Turf, the Chase, the Ring, and the Stage, published in 1827. In the following year, Egan brought out The Finish to the Adventures of Tom, Jerry, and Logic, in their Pursuits through Life In and Out of London, with illustrations by Robert Cruikshank. To some extent, the work was intended as a sop to those who had attacked the immorality of Life in London. Logic dies, at which no one would be surprised, though it is difficult not to resent the attempt to make his end pathetic. Corinthian Tom, attempting a little genuine sport, breaks his neck in the hunting—field; his cast—off mistress, Corinthian Kate, dies of drink and starvation, and Jerry alone is left alive, to settle down in the country with a virtuous wife. The illustrations are admirable; and the text is more amusing, less vulgarly written and less offensive in subject than that of Life in London.

LONDON. 1719 The English mathematician Brook Taylor (1685-1731) is best known for the Taylor series and contributions to tl theory of finite differences. Taylor was born at Edmonton (at that time in Middlesex). He entered St John's College, Cambridge, as a fellovl commoner in 1701, and took degrees of LL.B. and LL.D. respectively in 1709 and 1714. Having studied mathema‘ under John Machin and John Keill, he obtained in 1708 a remarkable solution of the problem of the "centre 01 oscillation," which, however, remaining unpublished until May 1714 (Phil. Trans., vol. xxviii. p. x1), his claim to pri was unjustly disputed by Johann Bernoulli. Taylor's Methodus lncrementorum Directa et lnversa (London, 171 added a new branch to the higher mathematics, now designated the "calculus of finite differences." Among oth ingenious applications, he used it to determine the form of movement of a vibrating string, by him first successf reduced to mechanical principles. The same work contained the celebrated formula known as Taylor's theorem, importance of which remained unrecognized until 1772, when J. L. Lagrange realized its powers and termed it‘ principal fondement du calcul différentiel." In his Essay on Linear Perspective (London, 1715) Taylor set forth the true principles of the art in an original and I general form than any of his predecessors; but the work suffered from the brevity and obscurity which affected n of his writings, and needed the elucidation bestowed on it in the treatises of Joshua Kirby (1754) and Daniel FOUI (1761). Taylor was elected a fellow of the Royal Society early in 1712, and in the same year sat on the committee for adjudicating the claims of Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, and acted as secretary to the society from Jan: 13, 1714 to October 21, 1718. From 1715 his studies took a philosophical and religious bent. He corresponded, in year, with the Comte de Montmort on the subject of Nicolas MaIebranche's tenets; and unfinished treatises, On Jewish Sacrifices and On the Lawfulness of Eating Blood, written on his return from Aix-la-Chapelle in 1719, we afterwards found among his papers. His marriage in 1721 with Miss Brydges of Wallington, Surrey, led to an estrangement from his father, which ended in 1723 after her death in giving birth to a son, who also died. The nex years were spent by him with his family at Bifrons, and in 1725 he married, this time with his father's approval Sabetta Sawbridge of Olantigh, Kent, who also died in childbirth in 1730; in this case, however, the child, a daugl survived. Taylor's fragile health gave way; he fell into a decline, died at Somerset House, and was buried at St Ar Soho. By his father's death in 1729 he had inherited the Bifrons estate. As a mathematician, he was the only Englishman after Sir Isaac Newton and Roger Cotes capable of holding his own with the Bernoullis; but a great p: the effect of his demonstrations was lost through his failure to express his ideas fully and clearly. A posthumous work entitled Contemplatio Philosophica was printed for private circulation in 1793 by his grands Sir William Young, 2nd Bart., (d 10 Jan 1815) prefaced by a life of the author, and with an appendix containing let addressed to him by Bolingbroke, Bossuet, etc. Several short papers by him were published in Phil. Trans., vol xxvii. to xxxii., including accounts of some interesting experiments in magnetism and capillary attraction. He issu 1719 an improved version of his work on perspective, with the title New Principles of Linear Perspective, revisec John Colson in 1749, and printed again, with portrait and life of the author, in 1811. A French translation appeare 1753 at Lyon.

CHAP; XXII. celebrated Brook Taylor,1 and which even of itself might put an end to the greatest part of the controversy, but not according to the views of Taylor and his foreign dis- ciples. I willingly abstain, however, from publishing these letters, provided your countrymen will cease to provoke our patience, which I wish for the sake of peace.” Ber- noulli then expresses his satisfaction with Newton’s statement respecting the corollary in the Principia. He explains that he had only spoken against the form of Newton’s assertion in the first edition of the work, and he claims to be the first who gave the analysis of the inverse truth, without supposing the direct one to be already known. He then mentions a report brought by a friend of his from England, that he had been expelled from the Royal Society} and he begs that Newton will let him know whether he was expelled by a decision of the So- ciety, or by the single authority of the Secretary, whom at that time he suspects to be Brook Taylor. The answer of Sir Isaac to this letter has not been found, but there can be no doubt that he explained to Bernoulli, as I find he did to another foreign member of the Royal Society, who made a similar complaint, that ‘ I have found among Newton's papers a. copy of this very interesting letter. Montmort was the particular friend of Brook Taylor, and was much attached to Newton, to whom he sent in 1716 a present of fifty bottles of champagne. That Montmort was, as Bernoulli says, an impartial judge in this matter, can hardly be doubted, and as his letter expresses the opinion of continental mathematicians on the Fluxionary controversy, in a manner at once precise and intelligible, I consider it a duty to give it a place in the Appendix. In consequence of Bernoulli’s reference to it in his correspondence with Newton, it has acquired a historical interest. See APPENDIX, No. XXlII., where I have prefixed to it Brook Taylor's letter to Sir Isaac, dated 22d April, 1716, in which Montmort’s regard for Newton is specially men- tioned. 9 This friend had seen in the list of Fellows for 1718 the name of Bernoulli ; but in a work entitled Magnw Britannica Notitia, by John Chaniberlayne, the friend of Newton, published in 1718, p. 144, he saw a catalogue of the Fellows containing the name of his nephew,‘ but not his own. 1719_ LIFE or sin ISAAC NEWTON. 299 the omission of his name from the list ‘of the Fellows was merely an error of the person who copied it. No farther correspondence seems to have taken place between Newton and Bernoulli till 1 723, when the latteracknowledged the receipt of three splendidly bound. copies of the French edition of the Optics, for himself, his son, and his nephew. — In this letter Bernoulli characterizes Newton’s theory of light and colours as a discovery which will be more ad- mired by posterity than it was then. He. tells him that Hartsoeker had claimed for himself the discovery of the different refrangibility of light, and attacked his theory of the planetary system ; and he expresses his surprise that no Englishman was at hand to defend their illustrious countryman against a “fellow so rude and barbarous. After giving an account of Hartsoeker’s attack upon hinti- self founded upon a letter of Newton’s, and requesting his assistance in protecting him against the charge, he con- cludes with thanking him in the name of the. celebrated Scheuchzer for the kindness he had shewn to his son when in London, and giving him the privilege of conversing with the greatest of philosophers and mathematicians? It does not appear that Newton returned any answer to this letter, or that he carried on any correspondencle with the other distinguished members of the BBFIIOU11 family.

In the latter pa.rt of Newton’s life his correspondence was very limited, and with the exception of a few letters from Dr. Robert Smith of Cambridge, Fontenelle,4 Dr. Derham,5 and others, his other letters possess very little interest. We are informed by Conduitt that he destroyed many of his papers before his death, and it is probable that some of them were letters which he deemed of no importance. ‘ Page 263 of the 1st edit. and p. 232 of the 2d edit. In his letter to the Ahbé Varignon, in the autumn of 1719, Newton mentions that N. Bernoulli had pointed out this mistake, and adds, “ constructionem propositionis correxi, et correctam ei osteiidi, et imprimi ciiravi non subdole, sed eo cogncscente.”—Macc?esfield Corre- -spondence, vol. ii. p. 437. John Bernoulli had previously shewn in 1710, that Newton's result was erroneous when the curve was a circle, and he resumed the subject in the Leipsic Acts for February and March 1703. “It is remarkable,” says Mr. Edleston, “ that both of these mathematicians mistook the source of the error. They imagined that Newton had taken the coeflicicnts of the successive powers of h in the expansion of (at x p)” for the successive fluxions of at-”."—-See Comm. Epist. Leib. et Bern. tom. ii. p. 229 ; Berncullii Opera, tom. i. pp. 489, 509; and Eclleston’s O’orrespo~ulence_ &c. pp. 142, 145, 156, 170 2 Dated Padun, May 31, 1717. 3 I find this fact stated in a letter to Newton from the Scotch mathematician James Stirling, who met with Nicolas Bernoulli when he was at Venice in 1719.

XXII. rather than voluntarily intermeddle with the disputes of others, should have fallen, as was reported, in his esteem. If such should be the case, which he cannot believe, he must ascribe it to a combination of sycophants who seek to advance their own reputation and that of their friends, by destroying the good name of others, and prescribing all who are not English, the innocent and the guilty, unless they are willing to applaud them in every thing. He believes, therefore, that many falsehoods have been told which have sunk him in his esteem, and, in defence of himself, he appeals to his writings, and declares that in these as well as in his letters, his conversations, his orations, and his lectures, he has always extolled him and his inventions with the highest praise. Nor can he doubt that such sincere appreciation of his talents will be more agreeable to posterity “ than that immoderate ardour (not of praising you, for you cannot be too much praised) of arrogating to you what you do not claim, and leaving nothing to foreigners.” This extravagant praise, which could not but be offensive to Newton, is followed by the solemn denial, (the substance of which we have already quoted,1) that he was the author of the celebrated letter in the Charm Volans, which he understood Newton had, on the authority of Leibnitz, ascribed to him in Raphson’s Flumionis. He makes the best apology he can for Leibnitz’s disregard of his feelings in ascribing the letter to him, and he concludes with an ardent expression of his gratitude to Newton for his splendid presents, and for his admission into the Royal Society, begging that he will regard him as “ a most zealous worshipper of his immortal merits.” In Newton’s reply to this letter,2 he assures Bernoulli, ’ Page 55, note. " 1 have found the scroll of this letter, but without a date. See APPENDIX, No. XXII. 1719_ LIFE or SIR ISAAC NEW’l‘0N. 297 as we have already seen,1 that as soon as he learned that he was not the author of the obnoxious letter, he wishedito cultivate his friendship. He thanks him for his kind reception of his Optics, and will endeavour to repay his politeness by mutual friendship. He explains how he suspected him to be the writer of the letter of the 7th June, but hopes, as he is not the author of it, that this will do him no injury. He assures him that the addition to Cor. 1, Prop. xiii. Book I. of the Principia was made at the suggestion of Cotes, and was printed in 1 709, before the commencement of these disputes, and he concludes with the promise that he will exert himself to put an end to the controversy between his friends and him. To this letter Bernoulli replied on the 21st December 1 71 9. Afterreferring to the obnoxious letterin the manner we have elsewhere mentioned,” and to the publication of some of Leibnitz’s letters, he wishes Newton’s countrymen would consider if the controversy was to be carried on by the testimony of mathematicians, whether or not it would be better that other letters should be produced than those of Leibnitz, who cannot be regarded as a proper witness in his own cause. “ I have letters,” he adds, “ from some learned men from countries which have taken no part -in this national contest, and which, if I were to make public, I doubt if such of your countrymen as rate me with SO much warmth, proceeding even to gross insults, would have much reason to boast. I have, among other authen- tic documents, a letter from M. Montniort, a very learned mathematician, lately dead, who, as you know, was, while he lived, attached to no party, being a Frenchman.‘ I have, I say, a copy of a certain letter sent to me by him, which he addressed on the 18th December 1718, to the I See p. 72. ’ See rp- 7173- Page 250 the national archives ?

Kent yeomanry r82o. - Taylor was an accidental Member of Parliament. In 1807 two ministerialists confronted John Baker‘ at Canterbury and Taylor was prevailed upon to become his partner. Nothing came of compromise proposals and he was returned in second place in an all-out contest. He was of a respectable local family, but his politics were a matter for speculation. An opponent described him as ‘an éléve of the imperial Lord Grenville’, and a critic, ‘an independent free- holder’, wrote: ‘Mr Taylor is not individually known to us; nor are the situations to which the merits of his family have raised some of his near connections of a nature to be shut out from our observation'.‘ This was primarily a reference to the fact that his brother Herbert, who had indeed been a protégé of Lord Grenville's, was private secretary to the King. A Taylor‘: conduct in Parliament, inconspicuous as it was, reflected this ambiguity. He surfaced in the examination of witnesses at the bar of the House on the charges against the Duke of York, :6 Feb. 1809, when he was called upon to identify his brother's handwriting. On 21 Feb. he voted with opposition against the convention of Cintra and he may have been the ‘Mr T aylor’ who deprecated as un- necessary, an attempt to clear the reputation of Sir John Moore posthumously, 27 Apr. x8o9. He voted with ministers on Lord Chatham’s memorial, 23 Feb. 1810, but changed sides on the same question, 5 Mar. The Whigs then listed him ‘hopeful’ and he did not disappoint them in the division of 30 Mar. on the Scheldt expedition, but no further vote on either side is known. He was absent on the Regency question, I Jan. 1811. When it was clear that’ he would have to fight for his seat in 1812 he withdrew, thinking it prudent to avoid the expense either to himself or to friends who offered to subscribe to his election, though his chances were thought good, Against his wishes, he received 329 votes. Also with- out his consent, he was a dummy candidate on the , last day of the poll in 181 8, again sponsored by John Baker's friends.’ Taylor’s prudence about election expenses did not save him from financial straits. Like his father, but with a larger family, he was obliged to spend many of his later years on the Continent and, worse still, to part with Bifrons. He died at Dover, 22 June 1843.3 =.m‘.:“c‘.’.'.';:t".‘.‘. ‘§‘:.¥..“i‘;7.;3‘x".:.f‘§’a.§‘.:.";.' 2;‘. %°.z'=z.4:.~ El:cn'onr.(18x8), 6o. -‘ Taylor Pprr. 186, :17, 335, 36:; Gent. Mag.

It was Walter's brother who on succeeding to the estates of his uncle John James Esq. of Denford Court in 1772 who assumed by act of Parliament the surname of James only. He died unmarried and the estates devolved upon his brother who was created a Baronet in 1791. It was he who in 1780 had married Jane Pratt, youngest daughter of Charles, first Earl of Camden. Her father was Attorney— General under Pitt in 1757 and was M.P. For Downton, near Salisbury. In 1765 he was created baron and became Lord Chancellor until 1770. The Corporation of Bath made him an Honorary Freeman of the City in 1759, the same year that he was chosen Recorder of Bath. This office he held until his death in April 1794. His eldest son represented Bath in Parliament from 1780 to 1794, succeeded the Earl as Recorder of Bath. Camden Crescent, built c.1785-7, was named in honour of his father. Sir Walter James rented Freshford House from 1821 until his death on October 9 1829. He is shown as president of the Royal Mineral Hospital in Bath during the year 1821. He rented his property from Maria, daughter of Thomas Joyce who was living at Widcombe at this time. He no doubt retired to this village with his wife and appears on different committees at the time relating to Freshford. Sadly his wife died in 1825 aged 63 and later in 1829 he was buried along side her in St.Peter‘ s Church where there is a marble memorial to them by the Altar. Their eldest son had died in 1818 and the Title and Estates went to their grandson Sir Walter James (1816-1893) who became a political follower of Peel, and an admirer and friend of Gladstone who made him a peer, as Lord Northbourne, in 1885. Earlier in 1850 he bought the Betteshanger estate of several thousand acres, a few miles from Deal in East Kent, where descendants still live today. extract from the Will of Sir Walter James: Freshford House Oct. 2nd, 1829 Apprehensive that my great and extensive distress will in all or prospective probability exist in this parish next coming Winter and as it at present appears doubtful whether or not the almighty will see fit to spare us to be in person his .. Almoner and the favoured alleviation of the calamity and misery of my poor parishioners. I most earnestly hope that in case of my decease occurring prior to this period my Executors will take the most effectual steps for the accomplishment of my ..purpose. I fear the distress will be more general than it was during the last Winter and consequently wish that the distribution should be more extensive and perfectly commensurate with the wants of my suffering fellow creatures. To this end I desire that the sum expended should not be less than £300 and that it should not exceed £400 the benefit of this relief to be devised from goods to be had as therefore at the Shop of Jonathan Watts.
