The basic word is from the Old English adjective Trum which meant firm, which gave the Old English verb Trymman to set in order, from which we get the verb “to trim”, and so the noun a trimmer for someone who trims. The origins of the noun as a verb probably came from either from the nautical term for someone who managed the course of a boat by “trimming” the sails, or from someone who trimmed hedges or sheep. This term “A Trimmer” was then corrupted into a term for a woman who scolded her husband and thereby kept him in order, and for people who were out to serve their time and survive in a position of employment irrespective of the fluctuations of those around them, as they would “trim their course” between all parties. Given that the Trimmer name in this line was particularly common in central Hampshire, it is very likely that the derivation in this case was for someone who trimmed sheep or wool during the Middle Ages. At some stage leading they left the land for a life in Southwark, which was then part of the Surrey Bank of the Thames South of London, and were working as Chimney Sweeps an occupation that they kept to for nearly 100 years. © Timedetectives 2009 The Trimmer Family Report Descendants of William Trimmer Generation No. 1 Descendants of William Trimmer William Mary Trimmer Jennings b: 1672 b: 1672 William Sarah Trimmer Seagrove b: 1713 b: 1713 1.

  • Jeanne Marie Le Prince De Beaumont (1711-1780): Biographical Essay for Chawton House Library and Women Writers
    Jeanne Marie Le Prince de Beaumont (1711-1780): Biographical Essay for Chawton House Library and Women Writers By Peggy Schaller Jeanne Marie Le Prince de Beaumont created works of fiction and non-fiction, authored essays and epistolary novels,1 and published what many now consider the first educational journals for children. A French author who resided in England from 1748 to 1763, Beaumont2 is primarily recognized today for the children‟s tales she popularized in those journals written during her fifteen years as governess, pedagogue, and author in London. Her version of “Beauty and the Beast,” part of her famous Magasin des Enfants (Young Misses Magazine 1756), is described by Joan Hinde Stewart as “without doubt the best-known work of fiction published by any woman in the eighteenth century” (Gynographs 26). Her influence on such British educators as Lady Charlotte Finch, royal governess to the children of George III, and Sarah Trimmer, the turn-of-the-century author, publisher, and educator, has been well documented by Enlightenment scholars and modern day historians alike. In addition, the Young Misses Magazine bears a resemblance to Sarah Fielding‟s The Governess (1749) for its dialogue format between young girls and their governess. Unfortunately, attention to the magazines also often obscures her other work and so improperly pigeonholes her in the category of pedagogue, even though much of her writing broached a broad expanse of contemporary socio- political issues. In fact, Beaumont surpassed even her contemporary French women authors Emilie du Châtelet and Françoise de Graffigny in public influence, although modern day critics have made their names more recognizable to contemporary readers.

  • 367 Brentford High Street: Mrs Trimmer's School Room
    367 Brentford High Street: Mrs Trimmer’s School Room Prepared by Val Bott and James Wisdom, on behalf of the Brentford and Chiswick Local History Society, October 2015. Summary. This building may be the only surviving purpose-built Georgian School of Industry in the UK. It was built in 1806, probably with accommodation for the school mistress, and the design of the building is significant in its own right. Its historic value also lies in its links with Sarah Trimmer. Mrs Trimmer started Sunday Schools in Brentford in 1786 and Schools of Industry in 1787, long before she had a building. Established teachers took “divisions” of children, either on Sundays for religious instruction and education, or during the week for work and education. The George Chapel was also used. The Girls’ School of Industry was financially successful and by 1806 Mrs Trimmer was able to build the schoolroom which brought all these Girls’ divisions together under one teacher. It was also used as a Sunday School. The Boys’ School of Industry, however, was less successful. Two of Mrs Trimmer’s daughters continued her work after her death in 1810. This inscription on the High Street facade of the Old School room commemorates the year in which Sunday Schools and Schools of Industry for poor children in Brentford were established and advertises the mechanisms for funding them. Origins The venture was inspired by the first such Sunday School established in Gloucester by Robert Raikes in 1780 and published in his newspaper in 1783. Raikes visited Brentford in 1787, was highly satisfied with what he saw and presented the children with Bibles1.

  • Evaluation of Factors That Initiate Or Propagate Epidemic Coxiellosis in the U.S
    United States Department of Evaluation of Factors that Would Agriculture Animal and Initiate or Propagate Epidemic Plant Health Inspection Service Coxiellosis in the U.S. Veterinary Services Centers for Domesticated Goat Population Epidemiology and Animal Health June 2013 Suggested bibliographical citation for this report: USDA. (2012). Evaluation of factors that would initiate or propagate epidemic coxiellosis in the U.S. domesticated goat population. USDA:APHIS:VS:Centers for Epidemiology and Animal Health. Fort Collins, CO. June 2013. 104 pages. Abstract Coxiellosis is a zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii, an intracellular Gram-negative bacterium that is prevalent globally. Many animal species are susceptible to infection by C. burnetii, including ruminants, domestic carnivores, wildlife mammals, birds, and arthropods. The clinical presentation of coxiellosis is non- specific in most animals, with the exception of ruminants where coxiellosis is responsible for reduced fertility, abortions, and stillbirths during late gestation, as well as low birth weight. In humans, two clinical patterns of Q fever are observed. The acute disease resembles a flu-like syndrome, and is usually a self-limiting febrile illness during which pneumonia or hepatitis can occur. The chronic disease is a severe and possibly fatal illness. Q fever can lead to abortions, stillbirth, or premature deliveries in pregnant women. In fewer than 5 percent of the cases it causes chronic illness which includes endocarditis and chronic fatigue syndrome. In 2005, coxiellosis was diagnosed for the first time in ruminants in the Netherlands as a cause of abortion on a dairy goat farm. In 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009, six, seven, seven, and six new cases, respectively, were confirmed on other dairy goat farms.

  • Explicit and Implicit Religious Teachings in Children's
    INSTRUCTION WITHIN ENTERTAINMENT: EXPLICIT AND IMPLICIT RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS IN CHILDREN’S LITERATURE IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY by Rebecca Jane Francis B.A., The University of Buckingham, 2015 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) May 2018 © Rebecca Jane Francis, 2018 i The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommended to the College of Graduate Studies for acceptance, a thesis entitled: Instruction Within Entertainment: Explicit and Implicit Religious Teachings in Children’s Literature in the Nineteenth Century submitted by Rebecca Jane Francis in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Examining Committee: Margaret Reeves, Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies Supervisor George Grinnell, Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies Supervisory Committee Member Oliver Lovesey, Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies Supervisory Committee Member Ben Nilson, Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences University Examiner ii ABSTRACT How and what to teach children through stories has been an ongoing topic of debate for centuries. In the nineteenth century, much of this debate was centred around teaching Christian religious practices, and connecting these practices back to moral lessons or social concerns. This thesis traces the changes in the way in which religious teachings are presented in children’s literature throughout the nineteenth century. I argue that the instructional elements of children’s literature do not become less significant over the period, but rather become implicit rather than explicit, and thus invite the implied child reader to make connections and judgements for him- or herself rather than merely accepting what the narrator is saying.

  • The Concept of Child Before Progressive Education
    1 Prof. Dr. Jürgen Oelkers University of Zurich Freiestrasse 36 CH-8032 +41 44 634 25 92 [email protected] The Concept of Child before Progressive Education Children cannot be “discovered”—they have always existed. Nevertheless, one can speak of a “pedagogical discovery of the child.” Prior to the eighteenth century, children re- ceived little attention in society and were considered, if anything, an object to be schooled. They were of interest to religion and the church, to the family as labor power, and to the so- cial class to which they belonged from birth, but they were not considered in their own right or on their own terms. The resulting neglect of children’s education is clearly demonstrated by two indicators: the level of literacy, and the legal status of the child. In the European Middle Ages, only the Jews could claim a high level of literacy, since the boys had to learn to read and write Hebrew to understand the Torah. As late as the early eighteenth century, two-thirds of the French population was still illiterate and could neither read nor write. Even in the mid-nineteenth century, one-third of all English men and almost half of English women had to sign official documents such as marriage and baptism certifi- cates with an “X” because they were illiterate. The first law mandating compulsory education in England and Wales was passed in 1870. Before that time, the government invested nothing in public education. At the time of the American Revolution, however, 90 percent of the pop- ulation of New England was literate because of the instruction provided by Puritan churches.

GIRLS’ VOICES OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GENRE FOR YOUNG FEMALE READERS, 1740-1800 by Sarah Rangaratnam B.A. Translation (Hons.), York University, 1998 M.A. Comparative Literature, Brock University, 2010 Ph.D. DISSERTATION Submitted to the Department of English and Film Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Doctor of Philosophy in English and Film Studies Wilfrid Laurier University © Sarah Rangaratnam 2018 Abstract Just as they do today, adolescent girls functioned as a cultural force in the eighteenth century, and it was commercially viable for authors and publishers to attract and sustain the attention of these teenaged readers.
