TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS ALEXANDRA, PRINCESS OF WALES, THIS BOOK IS INSCRIBED BY HER LOYAL AND GRATEFUL SERVANT THE AUTHOR. A thousand years have nursed the changeful mood Of England's race,—so long have good and ill Fought the grim battle, as they fight it still,— Since from the North, —a daring brotherhood,— They swarmed, and knew not, when, mid fire and blood, made their or took their fill They —English homes, Of English spoil, they rudely wrought His will Who sits for aye above the water-flood. Death's grip is on the restless arm that clove Our land in twain no the ; more Raven's flight Darkens our sky ; and now the gentle Dove Speeds o'er the wave, to nestle in the might Of English hearts, and whisper of the love That views afar time's eventide of light PREFACE. " I DO not pretend that my books can teach truth. All I hope for is that they may be an occasion to inquisitive men of discovering truth." Although it was of a subject infinitely higher than that of which the following pages treat, that Bishop Berkeley wrote such words, yet they exactly express the sentiment with which this book is submitted to the public.

Senior Theses, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 2012. Trinity College Digital Repository, http://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/theses/200 Richard Upjohn and Richard Morris Hunt: The Evolution of Newport Domestic Architecture Caroline Peck Senior Art History Honors Thesis Professor Kathleen Curran May 2012 Peck 1 Introduction America’s largest and grandest home, the Biltmore (1890; figure 1), was commissioned by George Vanderbilt (1862-1914) to be built in Asheville, North Carolina. The house was designed by Richard Morris Hunt (1827-1895) and bears resemblance to three sixteenth century châteaux in the Loire Valley, France: Blois, Chenonceau, and Chambord. However, Biltmore was not the first of the Vanderbilt’s homes to replicate European designs and aesthetics from previous centuries. The most famous of these mansions were in Newport, and include Marble House (1888-1892; figure 2) and the Breakers (1893; figure 3), both designed by Hunt. Centuries after these homes were built in Newport, they continue to be synonymous with the wealth and decadence of Gilded Age Newport, and indeed, Gilded Age America. Hunt’s Newport legacy was based upon his work for the Vanderbilts, but his Newport career, perhaps surprising, began years before his work for this prominent family.

Emotional and heartfelt, Moondust Lake is an uplifting novel about embracing all the things in life that matter—and never letting go. What to do with a life where everything he’s worked for is shattered? A top executive in the family business, Buddy Helms lives and works under the thumb of his powerful father.

Bridging the Gap Between Folk and Jazz Fests in Newport: Bridgefest
Bridging the Gap Between Folk and Jazz Fests in Newport: Bridgefest The quaintness of Newport makes it the perfect location to spend a summer night, whether you’re listening to music at Fort Adams or just grabbing a drink at one of the many bars that lie on Thames Street. The last two weeks of July, however, usher in an unparalleled wonder in the form of the Newport Folk and Jazz Festivals. But with four days between the two festivals, music junkies become antsy for their next fix. Fear not, music junkies, the Newport Festivals Foundation, the organization responsible for Folk and Jazz Fests, is bringing Bridgefest to the masses of Newport from July 25 to 28. “The Newport Folk Festival and Newport Jazz Festival have contributed to Newport’s narrative as an ultimate summer destination throughout the years,” said Jill Davidson, festival director of the Newport Festivals Foundation. “Bridgefest aims to do the same by keeping the festival spirit and excitement going strong during the week between the festivals.” On April 28, the Arts & Cultural Alliance of Newport County sold their ownership of the prodigious festival to the Newport Festivals Foundation in hopes of extending the reach of the seven-year tradition. Luckily for us music lovers, that means four days of nonstop beats and rhythms that will shake Newport to its core. “There wasn’t much to ‘fix’ about Bridgefest,” said Davidson. “Just like at the Newport Folk Festival and the Newport Jazz Festival, it all comes down to the music, and what you’ll hear at Bridgefest this year is akin to the great folk and jazz you’ve come to expect from our festivals.” Everywhere from Bowen’s Wharf to the Newport Vineyards is contributing to the grandeur, and with music going until 1am, Newport will certainly never remain quiet for too long.
