The Trustees of the Public Library, Museums, and National Gallery of Victoria have the honor to report- 1. After the passing of the Act of Incorporation, by an advertisement in the Government Gazette, No. 10, Friday, February 4th 1870, the following notification appeared :- "TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, MUSEUMS, AND NA'I)ONAL GALLERY OF VICTORIA. "The GOI'ernor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has been pleased to appoint the uncler­ mentioned gentlemen to be Trustees under the provisions of the Act No. 357 fo\' the government of the Public Library, Museums, and National Gallery of Victoria, viz. :-- The Honorable Sir W.

(Signed) "JOHN A. MACPHERSON, "Chief Secretary's Office, "Chicf Secretary. :' Melbourne, 1st Feb. 1870." 2. The first meeting of the Trustees was held on the 7th February 1870, at the Executive Council Chamber, and after deliberation at that and subsequent meetings, it was resolved- 1. That His HOllOI' Sir Redmond Barry be appointed President, and the Hon. Archibald Michie Vice-President, for the year. , 2. That, for the more convenient and efft~ctive performance of the duties imposed on the Trustees, a distribution of those duties should be made. Accordingly five Committees were appointed, as follows :- A.-THI,' LIBRARY COMMITTEE. His Honor Sir Redmond B!trry, Chairman. The Hon. Sir Francis Murphy. The Han. Sir William Foster Stawe.ll. David Charteris Macarthur, Esq. The Hon. Sir James F. Palmer. B.-THE INDUSTlUAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ~fUSEUl\IS COMMITTEE. The Hon. Samuel Henry Bindon, Chairman. I The HOIl. John A. MacPherson.

John O'Shanassy, Chairman. John Badcock. Esq. The Hon. James McCulloch. Charles E. Bright, Esq. DI1,vid Charteris Macarthur, Esq. 3. The preparation of rules and regulations for the conduct of the general business of the whole body of the Trustees, for that of the respecti ve Sectional Committees und their officers, for the guidance aud government of the students in the different schools, and for the,general information of the public, occupied the careful attention of the Trustees for some time. During that period experience of their working was gained, and, some modification and alterations having been made, they were finally adopted, passed the seal, and were submitted to His Excelleney the Governor in Council for approval. 4, The different Sectional Committees were also much ell gaged in organising plans for the effective working of the Mllseums, Galleries, and Sehools. They have, in separate reports which accompany tilis, given in detail particulars of what has been accompli,;hed by them for the amalgarmLiion of the collections, for the classification and arrangement of the objects displayed, as well as for the progress made in schools, and of the result of the series of lectures delivered in the spring of the year. , , 6 5. A reference to these will enal)le you to observe that the interest taken by the public in the Library and Galleries of Art is not diminished, and that a new stimulus of a most active and healthy nature is given to the instruction, on true scientific principles, of different portions of the community. 6. Mr. Montefiore, one of the Trustees, a member of the National Gallery Committee, having left Victoria to live in New South Wales, resigned his office. ' 7. The pressure of the administration of the institution on the Trustees' renders it desirable that the \ vacancy should be filled up at an early date. 8. ·The portico in the centre of the west' front, commenced in the year 1869, wa.s completed at the end of the year 1870. 'It has added much to the dignity and embellishment of the building.. 9. The estimates fOl' the ensuing year have been submitted, and a,confident hope is expressed that (being moderate in amount) they will be accepted in their integrity by your Government, and that the same prudent liberality which has hitherto animated the representatives of the people ill dealing with the votes for this institution will be displayed when these are brought up for consideration. 10. It is thought desirable that the Trustees should be allowed to rely with certainty on obtaining at fixed perjods authority to enable them to draw from the Treasury such portions of the sums voted by Parliament as may be required to pay punctually tIle accounts of tradesmen and others with whom they deal, and to t~ke advantage of occasions which present themseh'es of making purchases on favorable terms. II. The nece~sity for certainty in the conduct of such transactions is obvious, for it is of the highest importance that the efficiency and the reputation of the institution should be maintained. The Trustees therefore express a hope t4at they may in future be allowed to exercise the not unreasonable privilege of claiming such payments q-qarterly. 12. The amoll,nt of receipts and disbursements audited, required by law, is annexed. REDMOND BARRY,'President. March 29, 1871. ,/ REPORT OF THE COM}HTTEE OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, MUSEUMS, AND NATIONAL GALLERY OF VICTORIA, OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE INSTITUTION FROM THE YEAR 1853 TO 'rHE YEAR 1869, AND FOR THE YEAR 1870-1. .,. I:-=>UBLIO LIBRARY. REPORTo THE Committee of Trustees of the Public Library have the honor to report- 1. Before the passing of the Act' of Incorporation under the provisions of which the institution is now governed, the Trustees have been, honored for fifteeu years with the duty of conducting its manage­ ment. During that time they were not called upon to report to Parliament, and periodical accounts of their transactions were consequently not furnished by them as is now required. 2. It was only by occasional addresses to the different Governors at the opening of various portions successively added to the building, by the publication in the newspapers of lists of books received, of donations, of letters accomp!mying them, or which treated of subjects of interest connected with the interior economy'or development of the different branches of the institution, that the Trustees were enabled to instruct the public from time to time as to thtlir proceedings. 8. These circumstances appear to justify their exercising the privilege of prefixing to the account of their doings in the Pllst year a brief history of the growth of the institution under their former administration, and thus placing on record what has been transmitted by them to the present incorporated body.

INTRODUCTION My examination of the holdings of private art collections in Victoria before 1892 is confined to British and European art. It was to Britain that taste was oriented, and the emerging group of Australian painters made little impact upon those patrons and collectors recognized as being the cultural leaders of the community. It would have been difficult to incorporate my research on collectors of Australian art in an essay of this length. I have therefore confined myself to a number of general observations set out in Appendix E. These may be useful in better understanding a part of the background against which British and European art was collected.

  • Alfred the Great and the Pursuit of Wisdom in Anglo-Saxon Spirituality
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Wisdom’s Missionary: Alfred the Great and the Pursuit of Wisdom in Anglo-Saxon Spirituality A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of the Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By James Andrew Estes Washington, DC 2016 Wisdom’s Missionary: Alfred the Great and the Pursuit of Wisdom in Anglo-Saxon Spirituality James Andrew Estes, PhD Director: Joshua Benson, PhD Co-Director: Lilla Kopár, PhD Abstract Alfred, King of Wessex (r. 871-899), is commonly studied as a military, political, and educational leader and reformer in Anglo-Saxon England, but not as a religious leader, and his cultural reform program’s translation of Latin works into Old English receives little attention in scholarship on Christian spirituality or medieval English vernacular theology. Such inattention is a symptom of the larger problem that Anglo-Saxon Christianity, particularly with regard to its vernacular literature, is often overlooked in the study of medieval Christian spirituality. This dissertation repositions Alfred as an Anglo-Saxon spiritual authority dedicated to teaching and learning for the purpose of Christian spiritual formation. It interprets two texts from Alfred’s reign: the Vita Ælfredi by Asser, and Alfred’s Old English translation of Gregory the Great’s Cura pastoralis. These works are treated as primary theological sources for examining Alfred’s role as a wisdom seeker and spiritual authority. The Vita Ælfredi intentionally depicts Alfred as a kingly wisdom figure with a lifelong devotion to the study of religious literature.

  • THE SITE of SOUTHWICK PRIORY Tated North-South with Gables at Both Ends Facing East
    THE SITE OF SOUTHWIGK PRIORY By G. MERKIN THE PRIORY BEFORE THE DISSOLUTION THE Augustinian Priory of St. Mary was established at Southwick between 1145 and 1153.1 The priory had previously been established in 1133 at Portchester, where the priory church remains, substantially in its original form, but was transferred to South­ wick after about a decade. It became the dominant religious house in South East Hampshire, and helped to found and administer in Portsmouth the church of St. Thomas, now the Cathedral, as well as the hospital, otherwise known as the Domus Dei, later transformed into the Garrison Church. The history of the priory has never been written. The Victoria County History of Hampshire* has a brief account, containing useful items of historical information collected from various sources. But the information is so scanty and so disparate that no idea emerges of the political, social and economic importance of the priory. The writing of such a history awaits the analysis and interpretation of the vast collection of priory documents now housed in the County Record Office at Winchester and fully catalogued. Additional documents exist at the British Museum and in the library at Winchester College. Topographical and architectural information relating to the priory before its dissolution in 1538 is also very scarce. The priory church contained a shrine dedicated to 'Our Lady of Southwick' which is mentioned by Leland3 as the venue of an impor­ tant pilgrimage, and was destroyed shortlybefore the dissolution.4Anumber of chantries were endowed in the church, notably by William of Wykeham, c. 1380, who asks in the relevant statute for masses to be said at the Altars of St.

    UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES The significance of the place-name element *funta in the early middle ages. JILLIAN PATRICIA HAWKINS Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2011 UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The significance of the place-name element *funta in the early middle ages. Jillian Patricia Hawkins The Old English place-name element *funta derives from Late Latin fontāna, “spring”, and is found today in 21 place-names in England. It is one of a small group of such Latin-derived elements, which testify to a strand of linguistic continuity between Roman Britain and early Anglo- Saxon England. *funta has never previously been the subject of this type of detailed study. The continued use of the element indicates that it had a special significance in the interaction, during the fifth and sixth centuries, between speakers of British Latin and speakers of Old English, and this study sets out to assess this significance by examining the composition of each name and the area around each *funta site. Any combined element is always Old English. The distribution of the element is in the central part of the south- east lowland region of England. It does not occur in East Anglia, East Kent, west of Warwickshire or mid-Wiltshire or north of Peterborough. Seven of the places whose names contain the element occur singly, the remaining fourteen appearing to lie in groups. The areas where *funta names occur may also have other pre-English names close by.
