TO THE Jttogt Honourable THE MARQUIS CAMDEN. MY LORD MARQUIS, T T AVING completed my second volume of •^ •*- Epitaphs in the Churchyards and Cemeteries of St. Pancras, I have the honour to dedicate the result of my labours to your lordship, and I humbly and gratefully acknowledge that permission being granted. I have the honour to be Your Lordship's most obedient and most humble Servant, FREDERICK TEAGUE CANSICK. 28, Jeffery Street, Kentish Town, N, W. January, 1872. PREFACE. jAVING at length brought to a close the present work, which for several years has occupied the leisure time I had from busi­ ness, I freely submit it to the impartial judgment of the public. The great success attending my first, prompted me to bring to a successful conclusion this my second volume, thus completing my selections from the Churches, Churchyards and Cemeteries of St. Pan- eras, in Middlesex. I am not unmindful of the shortcomings of this volume, but I trust the care taken to make it as correct as possible, and the addition of illustrations of arms belonging to many families, will increase its value, and that it will prove acceptable to my readers. The descriptions of the armorial bearings repre­ sented in the several monuments will doubtless be of viii Preface. interest to many. The difficulty, however, of obtain­ ing an accurate account of them, owing to the injury which many have sustained by exposure to weather and other causes, must be my apology" for any inaccuracies in their renderings. Several subscribers have furnished me with valuable information illus­ trative of various inscriptions, but want of space has prevented their insertion. It was my intention to have added more notes to the distinguished characters whose names are in­ serted, but want of space prevented my doing so, much to my disappointment. The kindness which J. J. Howard, Esq., LL.D., has shown by valuable assistance throughout the progress of the work, is deserving of my special acknowledgement, as also the interest manifested in it by others who have endeavoured to promote its circulation. F. T. C. INTRODUCTION. j^igfjgate Cemetery HIS ground is the property of the London T Cemetery Company, which was incorporated by Act of Parliament, in 1839. It is situated in the bay formed by the west and east hills, leading to the town of Highgate, and faces the south. No cemetery in or out of London can boast so many natural beauties. Unlike many cemeteries, which are more like reclaimed swamps, it is elevated, and not only enjoys a natural drainage, but the main drainage of the north extends along the base of the hills. The irregularity of the ground, rising in terraces, the winding paths leading through avenues of shrub­ beries and marble monuments, and the groups of majestic trees, contribute many material charms to this solemn region. The London Cemetery Company were among the early promoters of that reform which was so long needed, and which could only be carried out by men of energy and enterprise. It was founded by Stephen Geary, Esq., who also acted as architect to the com- X Introdtiction. pany, and to whose judgment in selecting the spot, and so tastefully laying out the ground, may be given the credit for the great success attending the work. The approach from the Highgate Road, at the top of Kentish Town, is by Swaine's Lane ; bounded on the north by St. Anne's Church, built at the cost of Miss Barnett to the memory of her brother, and above which is Holly Lodge and grounds, the resi­ dence of Baroness Burdett Coutts. On the south side is a row of modern villas, beyond which is Holly Village, built at the expense of Baroness Burdett Coutts, and intended by her to form a background to the view across her grounds. The villas were de­ signed by Mr. Darbishire, and are quite an ornament to this portion of the lane. At the top of the lane on the left is the entrance to the cemetery; on the left of the entrance is the chapel, which is admirably fitted for its solemn pur­ pose. The interior of this sacred edifice is spacious and lofty. The absence of any unnecessary ornament produces an effect of simplicity very appropriate. A bier stands at the western end which can be lowered through an aperture in the floor by hydraulic pressure. The object of this bier is to convey the coffin to the subterranean passage below, at the termi­ nation of the service in the chapel, so as to facilitate Introduction. XI its conveyance to the new ground on the opposite side of the lane. This, if anything, adds to the solemnity of the building and its uses. On leaving the chapel we turn to the right, pass by the lodge for the superintendent, and ascend a flight of broad stone steps which leads up towards the church of St. Michael which crowns the summit, ap­ pearing from distant parts of the ground to great advantage, and which even seems, at a hasty glance, to appertain to the cemetery. As we ascend the hill we see on the left an archway of Egyptian character, which forms the entrance to the catacombs, in which the coffins are placed in cavities formed by the most solid masonry. Leaving the catacombs, we find ourselves almost immediately on a broad level terrace with a handsome balustrade, at the very foot of the church. The view from this point is remarkably fine, and is alone worth a visit, some half-dozen counties being visible on a fine day. The beauties of the place, indeed, appear to be fully appreciated, for the gardens are daily filled with persons evidently enjoying the quiet, the pure air and the splendid landscape. The cemetery of St. George the Martyr, Queen Square, is in the parish of St. Pancras, and is situated Xll Introduction, in Henrietta Street, Brunswick Square. It is closed for interment, and is in a very sad state—the stones falling over and broken, the trees uncut, and the wood growing wild. It has all the appearance of a wilder­ ness, and is a standing disgrace to the parish. The cemetery of the wealthy parish of St. George's^ Bloomsbury, also joins the above, and is a little better cared for, but in many instances the inscriptions are almost obliterated. This should not be. Will no churchman look to this, and see that the resting-place of departed Christians is worthy of its name. St. Andrew's, on the border of the parish, in the Gray's Inn Road, is a large open space containing very few monuments of any interest. St. Giles'-in-the-Fields is in the Old St. Pancras Road, adjoining the old parish church of St- Pancras, and is in a ruinous state, children being allowed to wander about the ground and destroy the tombs with impunity. The beautiful monument erected to the wife of Sir John Soane was battered with stones, and the carving Introduction. Xlll destroyed. The cost of keeping some old pensioner to watch over the grounds would be very trifling, and would prevent such unseemly sights. St, Martin's-in-the-Fields has a ground in Pratt Street, Camden Town. This is kept in better order, and reflects some credit on the parish owning it. F. T. C. CONTENTS. PAGE I PAGE A'BECKETT, G. A. 91 Bower. 232 Acland, Rev.

    Ichthyosaurs from the Lower Lias (Lower Jurassic) of Banwell, Somerset ICHTHYOSAURS FROM THE LOWER LIAS (LOWER JURASSIC) OF BANWELL, SOMERSET M.A. TAYLOR 1 AND R.D. CLARK 2 Taylor, M.A. and Clark, R.D. 2016. Ichthyosaurs from the Lower Lias (Lower Jurassic) of Banwell, Somerset. Geoscience in South-West England, 14, 59–71. Two Lower Jurassic ichthyosaurs, lost in a 1940s air raid, are identified from archival records and surviving 19th century plaster casts distributed by their owner, the Bristol Institution for the Advancement of Science, Literature and the Arts. One was the type specimen of Ichthyosaurus latimanus Owen, 1840. The other, initially labelled Ichthyosaurus intermedius Conybeare, 1822, was the first ichthyosaur in which remains of the soft tissue of the tail fin were identified, confirming Richard Owen’s earlier prediction. Unfortunately Owen’s published account conflated the two specimens, apparently by the erroneous transposition of a passage of text. Owen possibly regarded the second specimen as the type of I. intermedius. In 1889 Richard Lydekker referred it to Ichthyosaurus conybeari Lydekker, 1888. For unknown reasons, he caused further confusion by suppressing the fact that both ichthyosaur specimens came from Banwell. Banwell is shown to have been a minor but significant source of Lower Lias fossil vertebrates, and also the type locality of the fish Tetragonolepis monilifer Agassiz, 1837, apparently from quarries in the lowermost Jurassic beds at Knightcott. The Bristol Institution assisted Edward Wilson (1808–1888) to obtain at least some of the West Country marine reptiles which his brother Dr Thomas Bellerby Wilson (1807–1865) donated to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, U.S.A.

  • The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864
    1 Constructing Ionian Identities: The Ionian Islands in British Official Discourses; 1815-1864 Maria Paschalidi Department of History University College London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to University College London 2009 2 I, Maria Paschalidi, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Utilising material such as colonial correspondence, private papers, parliamentary debates and the press, this thesis examines how the Ionian Islands were defined by British politicians and how this influenced various forms of rule in the Islands between 1815 and 1864. It explores the articulation of particular forms of colonial subjectivities for the Ionian people by colonial governors and officials. This is set in the context of political reforms that occurred in Britain and the Empire during the first half of the nineteenth-century, especially in the white settler colonies, such as Canada and Australia. It reveals how British understandings of Ionian peoples led to complex negotiations of otherness, informing the development of varieties of colonial rule. Britain suggested a variety of forms of government for the Ionians ranging from authoritarian (during the governorships of T. Maitland, H. Douglas, H. Ward, J. Young, H. Storks) to representative (under Lord Nugent, and Lord Seaton), to responsible government (under W. Gladstone’s tenure in office). All these attempted solutions (over fifty years) failed to make the Ionian Islands governable for Britain. The Ionian Protectorate was a failed colonial experiment in Europe, highlighting the difficulties of governing white, Christian Europeans within a colonial framework.

There are many omissions, and doubtless as many mistakes and wrong guesses. A work of this kind, depending upon family, and even printed, records, can never hope for com­ pleteness; always there will be something more to be said. It repre­ sents the labor of years, and from start to finish is the work almost of one hand. I am deeply appreciative of the help accorded me by the various members of the clan who have contributed their family records. Many have not responded. I need only add that long perusal of the subject convinces me that the three New England branches of the Hawes name,-that of Edmund of Cape Cod, of Edward of Dedham, and of our Richard, represent three distinct groups, with no near relationship even in the mother country.

  • Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies
    Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies BY BABETTE M. LEVY Preface NE of the pleasant by-products of doing research O work is the realization of how generously help has been given when it was needed. The author owes much to many people who proved their interest in this attempt to see America's past a little more clearly. The Institute of Early American History and Culture gave two grants that enabled me to devote a sabbatical leave and a summer to direct searching of colony and church records. Librarians and archivists have been cooperative beyond the call of regular duty. Not a few scholars have read the study in whole or part to give me the benefit of their knowledge and judgment. I must mention among them Professor Josephine W, Bennett of the Hunter College English Department; Miss Madge McLain, formerly of the Hunter College Classics Department; the late Dr. William W. Rockwell, Librarian Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, whose vast scholarship and his willingness to share it will remain with all who knew him as long as they have memories; Professor Matthew Spinka of the Hartford Theological Sem- inary; and my mother, who did not allow illness to keep her from listening attentively and critically as I read to her chapter after chapter.
