For more information, please contact [email protected]. INTRODUCTION Connecticut license plates boldly bear the inscription, “the Constitution State.” This is due to Connecticut’s long and proud tradition of self-government under the protection of a written constitution. Connecticut’s constitutional tradition can be traced to the Fundamental Orders of 1639. Drafted by repre- sentatives from the three Connecticut River towns of Hartford, Wethersfi eld and Windsor, the Fundamental Orders were the very fi rst constitution known to humankind. The Orders were drafted completely free of British infl uence and established what can be considered as the fi rst self-governing colony in North America. Moreover, Connecticut’s Fundamental Orders can be viewed as the foundation for constitutional government in the western world. In 1662, the Fundamental Orders were replaced by a Royal Charter. Granted to Connecticut by King Charles II, the Royal Charter not only embraced the principles of the Fundamental Orders, but also formally recognized Connecticut’s system of self-government.

  • Category a Death Advice for Arts and Culture
    Advice and guidance: Category A death Advice for arts and culture organisations Introduction This document offers advice and guidance for artists and organisations in the event of the death of a senior member of the Royal Family. You may also wish to follow this guidance following the death of a notable person who has a close and special relationship with your organisation, and/or in the event of a major incident that causes loss of life. For the Royal Household, ‘Category A’ is a term used to describe the most senior members of the Royal Family – The Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. It does not apply to other members of the Royal Family. We have not experienced the death of the monarch for over sixty years and most people in the UK have known Queen Elizabeth as the monarch for all of their lives. For your own organisation, you should consider who you should classify as a Category A person, whose death you may wish to mark. In addition to senior members of the Royal Family, it could also be your patrons, artistic leaders, artists or people with particular relevance to the work you do. Examples over recent years of this might be the Duchess of Devonshire for Chatsworth House, Laurence Olivier for the National Theatre. You may also wish to follow or adapt this guidance in the event of a major incident that causes loss of life, in which case this guidance may support your organisation’s Major Incident Plan.

  • The Healing Hand in Literature: Shakespeare and Surgery
    Shakespeare and surgery Thehealinghandinliterature:Shakespeareandsurgery KTLFu The interplay between surgery and dramatic literature in the plays of Shakespeare is reviewed. This review attempts to explore medical references in Shakespeare’s works and to analyse the medical and social background of his time. Caution should be taken in interpreting Shakespeare’s works through a modern medical view; diseases and their therapy are used metaphorically as a means to an end in the Bard’s masterly hands. Shakespeare’s medical knowledge may be accounted for by his avid reading of contemporary medical texts, from primary or secondary sources; an astute sense of observation of Lon- don’s medical practitioners—bona fide or otherwise—and their activities and patients; and a medical connection by way of his son-in-law, Dr John Hall. It should be remembered that nothing in Nature stands alone; but every art and science has a relation to some other art or science, that it requires us to have a knowledge of those others, as this connexion takes place, to enable us to become perfect in that which engages our particular attention. John Hunter (1728-93) HKMJ 1998;4:77-88 Key words: History of medicine, ancient; History of medicine, medieval; History of medicine, 16th cent.; History of medicine, 17th cent.; History of medicine, 18th cent.; Medicine in literature Introduction seen.
