ΕΦΗΜΕΡΙΣ: or, a Diary {astrological, astronomical, meteorological,} for the Year of our Lord, 1689 … Wherein is contained I. A Complete Ephemeris of the Planets Motions and Aspects, Eclipses; and other necessary Matters. II. Some humble and yet loyal Glances upon the long expected, and thrice Welcome Birth of the Prince of Wales. III. A brief Discourse if the original and Antiquity of Westminster … London, Printed by J. D. for the Company of Stationers, 1689. [i.e. 1688.] 8vo., pp. [32], 14, [2, advertisements], with an engraved portrait added as a frontispiece (not called for by ESTC), one woodcut illustration and one woodcut diagram; title-page, dedication and calendar printed in red and black; a fine copy, the calendar interleaved with blanks, in contemporary red morocco, possibly by Samuel Mearne, elaborately gilt with floral, floriate and drawer-handle tools, gilt edges; from the library of Robert of Owen of Porkington, by descent. £1850 A fine copy of Gadbury’s Ephemeris for 1689, dedicated to ‘Sir Robert Owen … as a Testimony of the Author’s gratitude for Favours received’, and evidently bound for presentation, with a portrait of the author added. Ironically, but inevitably, of ‘things stupendous in eighty eight’, Gadbury here failed to predict the most important – the invasion of William of Orange in November, precipitating the Glorious Revolution, events detrimental both to Gadbury, who was arrested, and to Owen, who had offered to raise 500 men for a force against William. The Ephemeris for 1689 evidently having been completed and indeed printed before the autumn of 1688, James II is praised for ‘the compleat quieting of these lately distracted Kingdoms; which as He hath most happily set at Peace, so we Hope and Pray that God would grant him a long and happy Reign over us.’ Gadbury’s Ephemeris for 1690 later apologised for this prognostic error: ‘my muse hath of late been planet-struck, and I must waive predictions for a season’. ‘’Tis now more than a double Septenary of Years since I first had the Honour to be known to you [Owen], when you were a young Scholar at Westminster-School …’. By 1689 Owen was MP for Caernarvon, though perhaps less illustrious than his grand-father Sir John Owen, to whom Gadbury gives a nod, and who was sentenced to death along with Charles I (but reprieved). Gadbury’s correspondence with Robert Owen is preserved among the Brogyntyn papers at the National Library of Wales. The tailor-turned-astrologer John Gadbury (1627-1704) became acquainted with William Lilly in the 1640s when they were neighbours, later studying astrology more seriously with Nicholas Fiske and issuing his first almanac in 1655 (Speculum Astrologicum). His first Ephemeris was published in 1659; the series continued until his death. Gadbury varied the dominant themes of his almanacs, and this particular almanac is devoted to two main subjects: the birth, in June 1688, of James Stuart, son James II, later known as the Old Pretender; and the Popish Plot, a false conspiracy during which Gadbury himself was imprisoned. To the infant Prince of Wales is devoted a six-line verse at the head of each month; the punishment of Titus Oates on the pillory is referred to repeatedly. After the calendar is an essay on the history of Westminster Abbey, which mentions again Gadbury’s imprisonment for 16 weeks in the gatehouse, ‘having had the Honour … to be charged with High Treason’ as a result of the Popish Plot.

ΕΦΗΜΕΡΙΣ: or, a Diary {astrological, astronomical, meteorological,} for the Year of our Lord, 1697 [–1698, 1700, 1702]. London, Printed by J. R. [or by William Richardson] …. for the Company of Stationers, 1697[–1698, 1700, 1702.] [i.e. 1696–1701.] 4 vols., 8vo., 1697: pp. [32], 16; 1698: pp. [32], 15, [1]; 1700: pp. [32], 16; and 1702: pp. [32], 16; the title-pages and calendars printed in red and black and interleaved with blanks; engraved portrait of Gadbury by John Savage inserted as a frontispiece in each volume, short annotations to 1697 and 1702 (see below); from the library of the Owen family, Porkington Library booklabels, ownership inscriptions of Elizabeth Owen to 1697; the Ephemeris for 1700 rather browned, the others fine copies, in handsome contemporary red morocco, gilt with floral and floriate tools, gilt edges. £6000 Four attractive Gadbury almanacs in presentation bindings. The Ephemeris for 1697 is annotated by Elizabeth Owen (daughter of Gadbury’s friend and patron Robert Owen) with some instructions ‘to make red ink’, written in the said ink: take ‘som brasill & a littell scochin neall [cochineal] & some vermilion’, boil with strong beer, etc. In 1702 she transcribes a six-line poem by Katherine Phillips, the ‘matchless Orinda’: ‘Go soft disires Love’s gentle progeny’. As with item 1 above, engraved portraits of Gadbury have been added to each copy by Gadbury for presentation. In his 1697 Ephemeris Gadbury begun a new genethlialogical theme, with entries devoted to the birth dates of famous ‘physicians’ from Thomas Brown to Vesalius and not a few fellow astrologers: Nostradamus, Thomas Shirley, and Gadbury’s tutor Nicholas Fiske. In 1698 he turned to ‘poetical births’, betraying the Jacobitical tendency that saw him arrested several times: Herbert, Ogilby, Waller, Flatman and Rochester are given entries, Milton only just allowed: Paradise Lost and Regained and Samson Agonistes are ‘Poems, in their own Nature so rich and profound, as are not easily equalled; and much to be preferr’d before his Unhappy Iconoclastes: wherein he traduced his lawful Sovereign K. Charles the I. … For which, God struck him with Blindness’. Other subjects covered, in verse, entries in the calendar, or the essays at the end, include ‘some useful Planetary Notions wrote by Mr. Ed. Gresham near an 100 Years since, but never Printed’, the etymology of the names of months, the eclipses of 1697 and 1700, full moons which have brought an onset of rain, ‘solar energy’ and ‘the Placidian Astrology’.

Goldsmith had various publishers, with Mary Clark succeeding her late husband Andrew Clark in the late 1670s, and continuing until the turn of the century. The manuscript notes that run throughout this copy are in Latin, Greek and English, and comprise quotations from e.g. Seneca and the Bible, religious meditations, and a catalogue of books, containing almost forty items: ‘youthes divine pastime’; Latin texts including Ovid; a Greek grammar; Aesop’s Fables; manuals for ‘prayers and praises’; and a book of Common Prayer. Elsewhere is a note on Luther in prayer – ‘tantum potuit, quantum voluit’ (He could do so as long as he wanted to) – as well as some doggerel verse: ‘Here lyes Mother Davies, Who now in her grave is / Which in her life time / Kept good Ale and beer’, etc. Rare: seventeenth-century Goldsmith Almanacs do not generally survive in more than two or three copies for any given year.

  • Crucifixion Imagery in Paradise Lost
    Connotations Vo!. 8.2 (1998/99) Crucifixion Imagery in Paradise Lost CLAY DANIEL Milton in Paradise Lost has appeared to avoid the subject of the Crucifixion because he includes only a brief, orthodox account of the "cursed death ... shameful and accurst" of Jesus (12.406, 413).1 Michael even metaphori- cally reassigns this crucifixion to Adam's-and God's-enemies: "But to the Cross he nails thy Enemies ... and the sins / Of all mankind" (12.415- 18). This, however, is much more than terse restatement of Christian dogma. It points to Milton's use of Crucifixion imagery to characterize the devils' punishment in Books 1 and 10. I will comment on this imagery in the following fourteen sections. I. Him the Almighty Power Hurl'd headlong flaming from th'Ethereal Sky With hideous ruin and combustion down To bottomless perdition, there to dwell In Adamantine Chains and penal Fire, Who durst defy th' Omnipotent to Arms. Nine times the Space that measures Day and Night To mortal men, hee with his horrid crew Lay vanquisht .... (1.44-52) Jesus was crucified at Golgotha, which according to tradition was where the Tree of Knowledge grew, where Eve was tempted and Adam was buried? Milton suggests all of these traditions by describing Satan as bound with"Adamantine Chains" (1.47). The devils' violent pitching from Heaven suggests another Crucifixion event, often represented in mystery plays, such as The Wakefield Crucifixion: Jesus cast down onto his cross and nailed, _______________ ConnotationsFor debates inspired - A Journal by this for article, Critical please Debate check by the the Connotations Connotations website Society at is licensed<http://www.connotations.de/debdaniel00802.htm>.

EUROPEAN THEATRE From November I, 1775, to January 31, 7776 EUROPEAN THEATRE From November 1, 1775, to January 31, 1776 SUMMARY Thwarted in its efforts to obtain 20,000 men from the Empress of Russia, the British Ministry had turned, in the summer of 1775, to the numerous petty princes within the German empire for troops to assist in subduing the American rebels. The need was great. England's standing army numbered less than 19,000 men, and recruiting efforts had been unsuccessful. Three of these Ger- man princelings had made overtures to King George shortly after the news of Bunker Hill had reached Europe. All of them were related to the British monarch either by blood or marriage, and all were avaricious, mercenary and poor. In late August, a minister plenipotentiary in the person of an English army officer who had seen service in Germany during the last war, was sent to negotiate with them. Meanwhile, acting in his dual capacity as King of England and Elector of Hanover, George I11 had ordered five battalions of Hanoverians to relieve the British garrisons in Minorca and Gibraltar, thus releasing more British troops to serve in America.

  • The Sensible Observations of Roland Barthes and George Sandys 1
    Traveller or Tourist? The Sensible Observations of 1 Roland Barthes and George Sandys Andrew Hadfield, University of Sussex Abstract Is it better to be a tourist or a traveller? Tourists are usually denigrated as vulgar and ignorant while travellers are thought to be more sensitive and observant and to be performing more useful cultural work. However, the iconoclastic writings of Roland Barthes might persuade readers to rethink these commonly-held assumptions. Barthes’ insights into the nature of travel and tourism provide us with a way of exploring the history of travel writing and the relationship between ideas of travelling and tourism. George Sandys’ Relation of a Journey begun An; Dom: 1610 (1615) can be read as a work that thinks about and values tourism, setting its author apart from his contemporary travel writers Thomas Coryat, William Lithgow and Fynes Moryson. While they concentrate on their own ability to understand and appropriate the value of other cultures for their readers, Sandys writes for a reader who might wish to follow in his footsteps and enjoy the experience of encountering other places. A strong case can be made that Sandys’ book is the ancestor of the late nineteenth-century guides that did so much to encourage European tourism, Baedeker and Cook. Keywords: Travel; Tourism; George Sandys; Roland Barthes; China; The Orient; Jerusalem; religion; crocodiles Is it better to be a traveller or a tourist? In a certain form of popular culture, there’s a consensus that everyone who moves from one country to another for short periods of time wants to be a traveller not a tourist.

Although they were meant to complement the text, the difficulty and the cost of production limited the number of illustrations in any given book. Consequently, frontispieces acquired a special importance, not unlike heraldic or emblem- atic imagery, as they were often the only visual state- ment of the content of the book. They frequently employed elaborate iconography which allowed au- thors, with the help of their engravers, to transform their written accounts into symbolic codification. A characteristic example is the early-seventeenth- century frontispiece to George Sandys's travel account, A Relation of aJourney begun An: Dom: 1610.

  • The English Concept of Jesus in the Seventeenth Century : The
    THE ENGLISH CONCEPT OF JESUS IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY THE EMERGENCE OF SENTIMENTALISM By SANDRA KAY ENOCH A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE COUNCIL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1977 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Professor C. John Sommerville, for the many hours he has spent directing this project and for his patience with my occasional misstep in the early stages of this thesis. His ability to help me clarify my ideas had been invaluable. It was at his suggestion that the topic was pursued, and he should receive due recogni- tion for his contribution to this project from its outset. Special thanks also goes to Professors E.A. Hammond and T.R. Waldo for their constructive criticism and willingness to assist more than is generally expected from committee mem- bers. Professors Hammond and Waldo have also given me much- needed encouragement at various stages of my study at the University of Florida, and I am indebted to them for that.
