The following work has been prepared in the hope that it will meet with a long-felt want. How often one has heard the complaint that there is no complete list of notable Welshmen in English. It is felt that the “ Eminent Welshmen " of Robert Williams, and the “ Dictionary of National Biography,” are not comprehensive enough. This work, therefore, endeavours to supply the names of worthies not included in the above works as well as those that are included. The notices have been arranged in chronological order, with a full alphabetical Index, and l sincerely trust that by such an arrange ment—hitherto not attempted—the student of Welsh History may see at a glance what men flourished in any given period between 1700-1900. The notices are necessarily short owing to lack of space, and 1 am sorry that, for the same reason, lhave been compelled to withhold the names of several minor poets, writers, barristers, and preachers. l have included those who had more than a local reputation, and whose example might prove inspiring to the young people of Wales. Welshmen who have distinguished themselves in England, America, and the Colonies have received special attention, and also notable Welsh women. In order to make the work as accurate, and as complete as possible, 1 have travelled extensively, and l have read in the British Museum; Free Library, Cardiff; Free Library, Liverpool; Ryland's Library, Manchester; St. Deiniol's Library, Hawarden (the library of the late Mr. Gladstone), etc., etc. Books of all sorts have been examined, together with periodicals, pamphlets, and M88. It has been my aim throughout to supply facts, and to let those speak for themselves. Elegancies of speech have not been attempted, but conciseness and correctness. If some of the notices are fuller than others, they are so because I intended to make them all alike, but I soon found that it would be impossible to publish all such notices in iv. runes one volume. The most important events in the lives of the subjects are notified, with dates, and the titles of their most valuable productions. In spite of all care and research, I am conscious of many imperfections, and I hope the critic will be generous, for it is pioneer work, and has been extremely difficult. I beg to tender my sincere thanks to my kind friends, Professor J. E. Lloyd, M.A., Bangor, and the Rev. H. Elvet Lewis, M.A., for examining the Index, and for suggesting some names that had been overlooked; also to those friends who have supplied me with private information, and whose names are mentioned among the authorities. Considering all things, we have room for gratitude that Wales has done so well during the last two hundred years. “I FYNY BO'R non." THE AUTHOR. The opinion of experts :— “ The work will be invaluable for reference. For compass and compactness, nothing like it has ever been done for Welsh bio graphy.”—Rav. H. ELVET LEWIS, M.A. “A very good list, concisely written."—Rsv. J. FISHER, B.D., Cefn, St. Asaph. “A very complete list of names. His authorities are nearly always the best available. His reading has been extensive, and he has searched for famous Welshmen in every conceivable field. As a rule, his biographies are short and to the point."—MR. J. H. DAVIES, M.A., Aberystwyth.

    Samuel Johnson*S Views on Women: from His Works

    SAMUEL JOHNSON*S VIEWS ON WOMEN: FROM HIS WORKS by IRIS STACEY B.A., University of British .Columbia. 1946 A Thesis submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard The University of British Columbia September, 1963 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that per• mission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly ' purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives,. It is understood that copying, or publi• cation of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia, Vancouver 8, Canada. Date JjiMZ^kA- ^,/»^' ABSTRACT An examination of Samuel Johnson*s essays and his tragedy, Irene, and his Oriental tale, Rasselas, reveals that his concept of womanhood and his views on the education of woman and her role in society amount to a thorough-going criticism of the established views of eighteenth-century society. His views are in advance of those of his age. Johnson viewed the question of woman with that same practical good sense which he had brought to bear on literary criticism. It was important he said "to distinguish nature from custom: or that which is established because it was right, from that which is right only because it is established." Johnson thought that, so far as women were concerned, custom had dictated views and attitudes which reason denied.

Philosophical aesthetics flourishes in the period because of its strong affinities with the tendencies of the age. ‘Aesthetics’ is derived from the Greek word for ‘senses’, because . a science of the beautiful would be a science of the sensible, a science of sensible cognition. The Enlightenment also enthusiastically embraces the discovery and disclosure of rational order in nature . It seems to many theorists in the Enlightenment that the faculty of taste, the faculty by which we discern beauty, reveals to us some part of this order, a distinctive harmony, unities amidst variety. Thus, in the phenomenon of aesthetic pleasure, human sensibility discloses to us rational order, thus binding together two enthusiasms of the Enlightenment.” (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/enlightenment/#BeaAesEnl) p. 167 London coffee houses: https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/English-Coffeehouses-Penny-Universities/ p. 198 Literary salons: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Bluestocking-British-literary-society Writers Orlando glimpses and/or encounters: John Dryden (d. 1700)—poet (first poet laureate of England), literary critic, translator, playwright, who dominated the literary world of the Restoration.

  • Advisory Visit Bodorgan Estate, Anglesey April 2012

    Advisory Visit Bodorgan Estate, Anglesey April 2012

    Advisory Visit Bodorgan Estate, Anglesey April 2012 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the Bodorgan Estate, Anglesey on, 12th April, 2012. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Tim Bowie (General Manager of the Estate), Holly Parry (local graduate of Bangor University), Billy Tweddle (Gamekeeper) and Ian Ferrier (experienced local angler). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment and Fishery Overview Bodorgan Estate is on the south-west of the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales, and covers an area of approximately 15,000 acres. Within the Estate is Llyn Coron, a lake of approximately 90 acres (cover picture), which is within the catchment of the Afon Ffraw. The lake contains wild brown trout and sea trout which run the Ffraw. The lake is fished by a small syndicate (and day ticket anglers) and is occasionally stocked with farmed brown trout. The main focus of this advisory visit was the Afon Fraw, Llyn Coron and their tributaries. Also on the Estate is the Afon Caradog, a tributary of the Afon Crigyll which joins the sea at Rhosneigr. Sections of the Caradog were also inspected during this visit at Y Werthyr (SH373783) and Bryn Glas (SH372781). Information from the River Basin Management Plan (Water Framework Directive) published by Environment Agency Wales (EAW) is shown in the table below for the Crigyll catchment (including Afon Caradog) and for the Ffraw.

This assessment was undertaken in accordance with Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) guidelines (Defra, 2006a). Because of the large number of watercourses within the study area a screening exercise was carried out which identified all significant watercourses within the study area and determined whether these should be carried through to the Appendix F assessment. The screening exercise identified that the following watercourses should be subjected to the full Appendix F assessment: .
