MODELS OF AUTHORSHIP: MARGARET OLIPHANT AND GEORGE ELIOT By Joanne Shattock This article is about the profession of authorship in the nineteenth century. More specifically it is about the writing lives of two women novelists. Margaret Oliphant's (1828-1897) work is unfamiliar to most modem readers, apart from her Autobiography, one or two of her supernatural tales, and possibly the 'Chronicles of Carlingford', the series for which she was best known, novels and stories set in an English provincial town where life revolves around church and chapel. George Eliot (1819-1880) on the other hand, needs no introduction to today's readers. In one of her many reviews of the works of her contemporaries, Margaret OIiphant referred wistfully to what she called 'the elysium of a popular edition',1 a compliment that was denied to her during her lifetime and afterwards.

  • The Cullen Consultation Letters
    HISTORY THE CULLEN CONSULTATION LETTERS J. Dallas, Rare Books Librarian, Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh Within the pages of Andrew Carnegie’s biography of the Scottish engineer James Watt, you can find the statement: ‘It would be difficult to name an invention more universally used.’ With the name James Watt, one automatically thinks of the steam engine. Reading on, however, it is surprising to find that Carnegie is referring to something quite different. It would be difficult to name an invention more universally used in all offices where man labors in any field of activity. In the list of modest inventions of greatest usefulness, the modern copying-press must take high rank, and this we owe entirely to Watt.1 Watt refers to this invention in a letter he wrote to Joseph Black, Professor of Chemistry at Edinburgh. The two men had become close friends when Black was Professor of Chemistry at Glasgow and Watt was instrument maker to the University. In 1766 Black moved to Edinburgh to succeed William Cullen who had resigned the Chair of Chemistry to become Professor of the Institutes of Medicine. In 1774 Watt moved on to Birmingham. Watt and Black’s friendship and professional interests were thereafter sustained mainly by correspondence. In July of 1779 Watt wrote to his old friend that he had: FIGURE 1 lately discovered a method of copying writing William Cullen, age 58, after William Cochrane. instantaneously, provided it has been written within Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh twenty-four hours.

Letters from the “Gentlemen of the Press,” 1810-1845 David E. Latané Virginia Commonwealth University In John Wilson Croker: Irish Ideas and the Invention of Modern Conservatism, 1800-1835, Robert Portsmouth analyzes the way in which the newspaper press was manipulated via interlocking circles of journalists and politicians during the era of Reform. In addition to Croker, one of the important figures in the Tory press was his fellow Irishman William Maginn, and it was in the course of researching and writing William Maginn and the British Press: A Critical Biography (Ashgate, 2013) that I began collecting letters to and from members of the press. The letters presented here help reveal the shape of relationships that prevailed on Fleet Street at the cusp of the Victorian era. A quick note dashed off by legendary Times editor Thomas Barnes, for instance, to John Wilson Croker shows how careful Barnes was, even as his paper was supporting the Whigs, to avoid offense to a powerful Tory politician and Quarterly reviewer.

Pox Britannica: Smallpox Inoculation in Britain, 1721-1830 Abstract Inoculation has an important place in the history of medicine: not only was it the first form of preventive medicine but its history spans the so-called eighteenth century 'medical revolution'. A study of the myriad of pamphlets, books and articles on the controversial practice casts new light on these fundamental changes in the medical profession and medical practice. Whereas historians have associated the abandonment of old humoural theories and individualised therapy in favour of standardised techniques with the emergence of new institutions in the second half of the century, inoculation suggests that changes began as early as the 1720s. Though inoculation was initially accompanied by a highly individualised preparation of diet and drugs, more routinised sequences of therapy appeared the 1740s and by the late 1760s all inoculated patients followed exactly the same preparative regimen. This in turn made possible the institutionalised provision of inoculation, first through the system of poor relief, later by dispensaries and charitable societies.
