Ymddiriedolaeth Penllergare – The Penllergare Trust Coed Glantawe Esgairdawe Llandeilo SA19 7RT Telephone: 01558 650735 or Email [email protected] July 2004 PREFACE This work has been commissioned by the Penllergare Trust, in furtherance of its primary objectives to protect, conserve, restore and maintain the cultural landscape of Penllergare for public benefit. It sets out to examine a remarkable estate which has to all intents and purposes been forgotten by contemporaries, in some respects scandalously so. Penllergare has been described as ‘a secret and magic place’ (John Brown and Company, Landskip and Prospect, p. 12) but this epithet scarcely does justice to what, in past times, was testimony to ‘spirited improvement’ on a grand, indeed exceptional, scale as well as the creativity, innovation, energy and ambition of its owners. Any study of Penllergare invariably focuses on the series of dramatic physical changes initiated by the Dillwyn Llewelyn family primarily from the fourth decade of the nineteenth century although, again, such an emphasis underplays the overall longevity and significance of the estate whose origins go back much earlier. At its zenith, the Penllergare estate was an outstanding example of a picturesque, romantic landscape created for the enjoyment of its owners.

From a painting by an unknown artist now in the possession of his granddaughter, Susanna Parrish Wharton JOSEPH PARRISH, M.D. Born 1779 Died 1840 A copy in marble by Augustus St. Gaudens of a plaster cast owned by Dillwyn Parrish. This was presented to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania by Samuel L. Parrish in 1886. A Word of Explanation By SUSANNA PARRISH WHARTON AFTER my Uncle Dillwyn Parrish's death in 1886, numerous family papers, beside a large collection of letters, photographs, and other interesting documents relating to the Society of Friends, was removed from his residence at 1017 Cherry Street, Philadelphia, to the home of my mother, Susanna Dillwyn vVharton, at 910 Clinton Street. My mother being the last of the children of Dr. Joseph Par­ rish, it seemed fitting that she should assume this responsibility. Of direct interest to my grandfather's descendants is a manuscript book compiled from various sources by my Uncle Dillwyn Parrish. This book is still in my possession. vVith the consent of his son, Stephen Parrish, material has been selected for this volume. It is mostly a biography of my grandfather, Dr. Joseph Parrish, but some pages are devoted to his ancestry.

    47 PIONEERS AND RADICALS: THE DILLWYN FAMILY’S TRANSATLANTIC TRADITION OF DISSENT AND INNOVATION Kirsti Bohata Abstract The Dillwyn family made a significant contribution to the commercial, industrial, and artistic development of the city of Swansea in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Their legacy remains not only in their published works but also in a number of street names and placenames in Swansea and its surrounding areas. This paper looks at the work of key members of the Dillwyn family, beginning with the American abolitionist, William Dillwyn, and his wider family. As practising Quakers, the Dillwyns were driven by a particular work ethic that was both industrious and unconventional. The paper focuses on the pioneering accomplishments of the Dillwyn women, including the author Amy Dillwyn. The Dillwyns were pioneers. In science and the arts, in national politics and civic life, in industry and entrepreneurship, they were innovators and reformers. Guided by a Quaker ethos of individual industry and collective duty, this was a family of independent and unconventional thinkers. The achievements of the men are best understood in terms of their extraordinary abilities as networkers and collaborators. Recognising the significance of networks rather than individual exceptionalism enables us to focus on a nexus of scientific, industrial and political activity in which the Dillwyns were pivotal participants and generous facilitators. The women, on the other hand, while benefitting from a supportive family environment, have tended to be iconoclasts – independent thinkers and actors willing to take a sometimes lonely stand. It would be possible to dedicate an entire study to any one member of a family that, as David Painting remarked, pursued ‘a lifestyle that converted almost unlimited leisure into quite exceptional creativity.

    A Science Fit for the Chapel: Astronomy in Nineteenth-Century Wales by Jake E. Bridges A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta © Jake E. Bridges, 2018 ii ABSTRACT A Science Fit for the Chapel: Astronomy in Nineteenth-Century Wales Astronomy was a culturally prominent practice during the nineteenth century in Britain. In this thesis I examine the development of astronomy in one area, Wales. Astronomy became an important subject in the lecturing industry that emerged during the century as lecturers promoted astronomical narratives using sublime images with religious aspects. Using orreries, magic lanterns, and planetariums, lecturers brought astronomical phenomena to a new and engaged public. Town halls, chapels, Sunday schools, and theatres were transformed into temporary spaces for the consumption of scientific knowledge to ever-growing audiences. Scientific interests grew from lectures, and in the 1830s local science societies were established in numerous Welsh towns that sought to create a permanent space for the production and consumption of knowledge. By 1848, the British Association for the Advancement of Science’s meeting in Swansea demonstrated Welsh people’s desire to link to the centre of a growing scientific community in England. A growing Welsh literate public engaged with astronomy through new publications that expressed astronomy’s connection to cultural myths, heritage, and folklore. The start of Welsh- language astronomical initiatives placed science at the forefront of a new Welsh culture and identity as authors characterized astronomy as a distinctly Welsh tradition. Publications framed astronomers as druids who were the gatekeepers of scientific knowledge and the wielders of cultural and scientific authority.

Histories —ROLAND BARTHES1 of photography have traditionally favoured camera-made pictures, almost always beginning with accounts of the Stark white against a blue background, the spindly plant, camera obscura and with efforts to capture automatically a sprig of chamomile, strains upward, its flower pet- the images seen in it.
