John Ferneley Catalogue of Paintings JOHN FERNELEY (1782 – 1860) CATALOGUE OF PAINTINGS CHRONOLOGICALLY BY SUBJECT Compiled by R. Fountain Updated December 2014 1 SUBJECT INDEX Page A - Country Life; Fairs; Rural Sports, Transport and Genre. 7 - 11 D - Dogs; excluding hounds hunting. 12 - 23 E - Horses at Liberty. 24 - 58 G - Horses with grooms and attendants (excluding stabled horses). 59 - 64 H - Portraits of Gentlemen and Lady Riders. 65 - 77 J - Stabled Horses. 74 - 77 M - Military Subjects. 79 P - Hunting; Hunts and Hounds. 80 - 90 S - Shooting. 91 - 93 T - Portraits of Racehorses, Jockeys, Trainers and Races. 94 - 99 U - Portraits of Individuals and Families (Excluding equestrian and sporting). 100 - 104 Index of Clients 105 - 140 2 NOTES ON INDEX The basis of the index are John Ferneley’s three account books transcribed by Guy Paget and published in the latter’s book The Melton Mowbray of John Ferneley, 1931. There are some caveats; Ferneley’s writing was always difficult to read, the accounts do not start until 1808, are incomplete for his Irish visits 1809-1812 and pages are missing for entries in the years 1820-1826. There are also a significant number of works undoubtedly by John Ferneley senior that are not listed (about 15-20%) these include paintings that were not commissioned or sold, those painted for friends and family and copies. A further problem arises with unlisted paintings which are not signed in full ie J. Ferneley/Melton Mowbray/xxxx or J. Ferneley/pinxt/xxxx but only with initials, J. Ferneley/xxxx, or not at all. These paintings may be by John Ferneley junior or Claude Loraine Ferneley whose work when at its best is difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish from that of their father or may be by either son with the help of their father. In the Index the first column is the B.S.A.T subject letter, the second is the year recorded in the account book (which may not be the same as on the painting), the third is the reference number in Paget’s transcription and the last the identification number. The title/description of the painting is followed by the charge Ferneley made for the painting in pounds and Shillings. Finally, the measurements in inches are given and the method of signing. If signed but details not available it is listed as S & D. 3 Photo Identification The main source is the archives of the London Gallery Arthur Ackermann and Son which dealt in sporting Art from 1783 until 1991,, other significant sources are the catalogues of Richard Green Fine Paintings 1955 onwards, the auction houses Christies, Sothebys, Bonhams, Tennants and the Witt Library. In the last years additional on line sources have become available particularly the Public Catalogue Foundation which lists and illustrates all oil paintings in public collections (including the National Trust), the Bridgeman Art Library, Encore images and the Artprice Index. An entry “Private Collection” signifies that the painting has been identified but is not in the public domain. The compiler would welcome any corrections or additions to the index.

Re-printed, with numerous additions and corrections, from " J^HE ^HITEHALL j^EYIEW" Of September 28th, October 5th, 12th, and 19th, 1878. ->♦<- PUBLISHED AT THE OFFICE OF " THE WHITEHALL REVIEW." And Sold by James Parker & Co., 377, Strand, and at Oxford; and by Burns & Oates, Portman Street, W. 1878. PEEFACE. HE publication in four successive numbers of The Whitehall Review of the names of those Protestants who have become Catholics since the Tractarian move ment, led to the almost general suggestion that Rome's Recruits should be permanently embodied in a pamphlet. This has now been done. The lists which appeared in The Whitehall Review have been carefully revised, corrected, and considerably augmented ; and the result is the compilation of what must be regarded as the first List of Converts to Catholicism of a reliable nature. While the idea of issuing such a statement of" Perversions " or " Conversions " was received with unanimous favour — for the silly letter addressed to the Morning Post by Sir Edward Sullivan can only be regarded as the wild effusion of an ultra-Protestant gone very wrong — great curiosity has been manifested as to the sources from whence we derived our information. The modus operandi was very simple. Possessed of a considerable nucleus, our hands were strengthened immediately after the appearance of the first list by 071 XT PREFACE. the co-operation of nearly all the converts themselves, who hastened to beg the addition of their names to the muster-roll.

The country’s many conflicts are interconnected and can no longer be separated by clear divisions between external and internal actors and events. Throughout 2019, the Houthis and the Government of Yemen made little headway towards either a political settlement or a conclusive military victory. In a continuation from 2018, the belligerents continued to practice economic warfare: using economic obstruction and financial tools as weapons to starve opponents of funds or materials. Profiteering from the conflict is endemic.

  • Podolak Multifunctional Riverscapes
    Multifunctional Riverscapes: Stream restoration, Capability Brown’s water features, and artificial whitewater By Kristen Nicole Podolak A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Professor Louise Mozingo Professor Vincent H. Resh Spring 2012 i Abstract Multifunctional Riverscapes by Kristen Nicole Podolak Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Society is investing in river restoration and urban river revitalization as a solution for sustainable development. Many of these river projects adopt a multifunctional planning and design approach that strives to meld ecological, aesthetic, and recreational functions. However our understanding of how to accomplish multifunctionality and how the different functions work together is incomplete. Numerous ecologically justified river restoration projects may actually be driven by aesthetic and recreational preferences that are largely unexamined. At the same time river projects originally designed for aesthetics or recreation are now attempting to integrate habitat and environmental considerations to make the rivers more sustainable. Through in-depth study of a variety of constructed river landscapes - including dense historical river bend designs, artificial whitewater, and urban stream restoration this dissertation analyzes how aesthetic, ecological, and recreational functions intersect and potentially conflict. To explore how aesthetic and biophysical processes work together in riverscapes, I explored the relationship between one ideal of beauty, an s-curve illustrated by William Hogarth in the 18th century and two sets of river designs: 18th century river designs in England and late 20th century river restoration designs in North America.

  • Choir School News • 3 Memories of John Scott from the Choir School Community
    Can- Dom- tate ino Choir School News A Newsletter for Alumni & Friends of Saint Thomas Choir School WINTER/SPRING 2016 ©2016 Studios Ira Lippke John Gavin Scott (1956-2015) This edition of the Choir School News is in thanksgiving for the life and witness of John Scott. Here, alumni, parents, colleagues and friends share memories and reflections of his extraordinary impact on this community. Through John’s gifts, people not only experienced music of the highest caliber, but were also drawn deeper into the mystery of God. For all of us, John’s death was a terrible shock. It has caused us to reflect on how fragile life can be. Even as we have moved forward at the Choir School, we continue to miss him and entrust him to God’s care and protection. I invite you to share in our common life through these pages. –Charles F. Wallace, Headmaster IN MEMORIAM EXCERPTS FROM FATHER MEAD’S HOMILY AT JOHN SCOTT’S FUNERAL Evensong and a recital of Buxtehude. I asked John, who was then forty-seven but had been at St. Paul’s since his mid-twenties, would he be interested in coming to Saint Thomas? He would be interested, he replied, but that if I would please understand he would like not to have to apply. Very well; would he give me his resume? Yes, he would. This was pure John. As John prepared to leave St. Paul’s, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth made him a Lieutenant of the Victorian Order (LVO) for his distinguished services to the Crown at London’s great cathedral, where John led the music for many royal and state occasions – not to mention the daily round of choral evensongs and other liturgies.

  • Love Letters Between Lady Susan Hay and Lord James Ramsay 1835
    LOVE LETTERS BETWEEN LADY SUSAN HAY AND LORD JAMES RAMSAY 1835 Edited by Elizabeth Olson with an introduction by Fran Woodrow in association with The John Gray Centre, Haddington I II Contents Acknowledgements iv Editing v Maps vi Family Trees viii Illustrations xvi Introduction xxx Letters 1 Appendix 102 Further Reading 103 III Acknowledgements he editor and the EERC are grateful to East Lothian Council Archives Tand Ludovic Broun-Lindsay for permission to reproduce copies of the correspondence. Thanks are due in particular to Fran Woodrow of the John Gray Centre not only for providing the editor with electronic copies of the original letters and generously supplying transcriptions she had previously made of some of them, but also for writing the introduction. IV Editing he letters have been presented in a standardised format. Headers provide Tthe name of the sender and of the recipient, and a number by which each letter can be identified. The salutations and valedictions have been reproduced as they appear in the originals, but the dates when the letters were sent have been standardised and placed immediately after the headers. Due to the time it took for letters from England to reach Scotland, Lord James Ramsay had already sent Lady Susan Hay three before she joined the correspondence. This time lapse, and the fact that thereafter they started writing to each other on a more or less daily basis, makes it impossible to arrange the letters sensibly in order of reply. They have instead been arranged chronologically, with the number of the reply (where it can be identified) added to the notes appended to each letter.
