  • Hugh Cuming (1791-1865) Prince of Collectors by S
    J. Soc. Biblphy not. Hist. (1980) 9 (4): 477-501 Hugh Cuming (1791-1865) Prince of collectors By S. PETER DANCE South Bank House, Broad Street, Hay-on-Wye, Powys INTRODUCTION A combination of superabundant energy, unquenchable enthusiasm and endless opportunity was responsible for the remarkable increase in our knowledge of the natural world during the nineteenth century. For every man of action prepared to risk his life in foreign parts there was a dozen armchair students eager to publish descriptions and illustrations of the plants and animals he brought home. Among nineteenth-century men of action few con- tributed as much to the material advance of natural history as Hugh Cuming (1791 —1865) and none has received such an unequal press. A widely accepted picture of the man is contained in a popular and much acclaimed book1 published in the 1930s: The research after the rare, a quasi-commercial, quasi-scientific research, is typified, glorified and carried to the point of exhausting the fun of the game, in the career of the excellent Englishman Hugh Cuming, a wealthy amateur, who set out in a private yacht to cruise the world for new shells, some- thing to tickle the jaded fancy of the European collector in his castle or parsonage or shell-shop. In the Philippines Cuming sent native collectors into the jungles after tropical tree snails, and saw one fellow returning with a sack full from which specimens (every one possibly a genus new to science) were dribbling carelessly along the jungle floor. On a reef in the South Seas (which has since been destroyed by a hurricane) he came on eight living shells of the 'Glory-of-the-Sea'.

  • Penguin Group (USA) Inc. V. Steinbeck
    [Edited. You can read the full opinion here.] Penguin Group (USA) Inc. v. Steinbeck 537 F.3d 193 (2d Cir. 2008) SACK, Circuit Judge: This is an appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Richard Owen, Judge) granting summary judgment to the appellees Thomas, Steinbeck and Blake Smyle based on the court's conclusion that a "notice of termination" given in 2004 that purported to terminate, pursuant to the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 304(c) and (d), the 1938 grant of copyright licenses by the author John Steinbeck, was valid. We consider on appeal whether an agreement entered into in 1994 between Steinbeck's widow and the publisher terminated and superseded the 1938 agreement, and, if so, whether the termination notice is therefore ineffective. Because the termination right provided by section 304(d) pursuant to which the 2004 termination notice was issued applies only to pre-1978 grants of transfers or licenses of copyright, and because the 1994 agreement left intact no pre-1978 grant for the works in question, we conclude that the 2004 notice of termination is ineffective. The 1994 agreement remains in effect. BACKGROUND Grants of Licenses of Copyright On September 12, 1938, the author John Steinbeck executed an agreement with The Viking Press (the "1938 Agreement") that established the terms for the latter's publication of some of Steinbeck's best-known works, including The Long Valley, Cup of Gold, The Pastures of Heaven, To A God Unknown, Tortilla Flat, In Dubious Battle, and Of Mice and Men, in all of which Steinbeck held the copyright.

  • Scientific Visual Culture and the Origins of Modern British Zoology, 1815
    The Reverent Eye: Scientific Visual Culture and The Origins of Modern British Zoology, 1815-1840 David Lowther 085282098 Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics, and Archaeology Newcastle University November 2016 Abstract The Reverent Eye: Scientific Visual Culture and the Origins of Modern British Zoology, 1815- 1840 Between 1815 and 1840, decades of unprecedented social and political upheaval, the life sciences in Britain were transformed. What for centuries had been a single subject, natural history, fragmented into a set of related but distinct scientific disciplines, defined by their objects of investigation. This study focuses on one of them, zoology, and the ways in which its emerging, transitional practices and methodologies, prompted by the vast increase in empirical information, the emergence of new institutions, development of new audiences, and increasing colonial expansion, were codified and disseminated in some of the most stunning images ever created of life on earth. At the heart of this process was quinarianism, a now almost forgotten system of ordering the natural world which originated in the long-running and acrimonious ‘Species Debate’, the single most important issue in early-nineteenth century biology. Far from being a historical and scientific irrelevance, quinarianism was crucial to the institutional and methodological development of zoology in Britain. As developed by a small, politically-diverse group of zoologists centred upon the Linnean and Zoological Societies of London, it fused natural theology and continental Idealism in a powerful synthesis which, for twenty years, defined zoology as a British, imperial science, providing the institutional framework which made possible the great advances of the 1860s and 1870s.

He was the son of Thomas Edward Auden (1864-1936) who owned a local law firm. J.L. Auden served in the First World War with the 6th Batallion North Staffordshire regiment, first as a Lieutenant and later (after 1916) as a Major. He was awarded the Military Cross in the summer of 1916 for conspicuous gallantry. After the war he became a solicitor and partner in his father’s law firm and acted as the part time coroner for East Staffordshire. He had a keen interest in natural history from an early age and as a young boy he formed a collection of skeletons by catching small mammals and boiling them down to extract the bones which he set up himself. He went to school at Marlborough and spent all of his spare time in Savernake Forest where he caught his first pygmy shrew. He also kept a pet badger during this period. During his service in the first world war he collected snails on the front line. “He would take the chance of someone going on leave to send them home and many a cigarette box of very smelly snails would arrive for his family to cope with, and occasionally a bat or two for good measure.” [Notes from his brother, E.H.
