Inheritance from Lorraine --- • 5 | P a g e 6 | P a g e Annexe III: Travellers from the British Isles in the Duchy of Lorraine (1697-1737)1 This list is based on the record kept in the Archives Départementales de Meurthe-et-Moselle2 and the compiled documentation of recent secondary sources3 as well as the primary sources4 used for this dissertation.5 When the identifications are uncertain, the names are preceded by an asterisk. When people have connections with each other that are of relevance for this study, this is indicated in italics at the end of the biodata. Although the tutors have been added to the general count of travellers, we have decided to keep them in the entry of the grand tourists they supervised, unless they authored their own travel text. We have also limited the biographical notice to the information related to the Academy of Lorraine and the Grand Tour, especially for the most well-studied individuals. 1699 (1)6 Richard Hill (1655/6-1727) He was the 2nd son of Rowland Hill of Hawkstone and Margaret Whitehall of Doddington, Shropshire. He studied at St John’s College, Cambridge, and graduated BA (1679), MA (1682). He was William III’s envoy to Brussels from 1696 and he stopped at the court of Lorraine on his way to Turin in 1699. Indeed, Orange had sent him to the duke of Savoy, Victor Amadeus II. When he returned to England, he became Lord of the Treasury (1699-1702) and Lord of the Admiralty (1702-1708). He is mostly known for his service on the continent as an Envoy extraordinary to Savoy Sardinia. Hill seemed to have met Francis Taaffe in Lorraine since Taaffe mentions the “friendship” between the two men in a letter written in 1701.7 Before becoming fellow of the Royal Society (1708) and a fellow of Eton College (1714), Hill was often described as a moderate tory and was a tutor to the Burlington family and then to Laurence Hyde. 1 The list comprises the travellers attending the court and/or the educational institutions of the Duchy of Lorraine. Although most of them attended the academy, some travellers connected to the English Benedictines of Dieulouard have been added when it is relevant for the general argument of the thesis. 2 When applicable, the name written on the list is indicated with the mention [sic]. ADMM 3F276 piece 21 3 When the notice exists, the biodatas have been expanded from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB), from the Dictionary of Irish Biography (DIB) and from John Ingamells, A dictionary of British and Irish Travellers in Italy 1701-1800 (Yale: Yale University Press, 1997), unless the footnotes indicate otherwise. 4 We have kept the same footnotes system for archival material (e.g: BL for British Library and BodLib for Bodleian Library, etc…) 5 The most comprehensive list to this day is the one published in the Pays Lorrain in December 2017. It identifies correctly up to 38 names; our list contains 85 travellers. 6 This number indicates how many travellers were present for each year, tutors included when their identity is known. 7 Francis Taaffe to his niece from Osnabruck on 6 December 1701 in Memoire of the Family of Taffe (Vienne, Auer, 1856), p.247. 7 | P a g e 1711 (1) Sir Carnaby Haggerston (c1700-1756) He was the son of William Haggerston, 2nd Baronet of Haggerston Castle in Northumberland. Carnaby went on a Grand Tour from 1710 to 1719 with the tutor John Thornton, a Jesuit priest.8 He stopped in Lorraine to attend the English Benedictine college of Dieulouard but arrived later than originally planned because his journey had been affected by the war.9 When James Francis Edward Stuart - the Old Pretender - arrived in Lorraine, Carnaby was attending the court of Bar- Le-Duc.10 In 1714, Alexis Simon Belle (1674-1734) came to Lorraine to paint the portraits of several Jacobites present at the court in Bar.11 He painted Charles Leslie (1650-1722), David Nairne (1655-1740), three new portraits of James12 and a portrait of Carnaby Haggerston who was at the court.13 Haggerston then continued his Grand Tour and was spotted in Naples in May 171814 and in Padua in March 1719.15 His exact date of return to his estate is unknown but he married Elizabeth Middleton In 1721. Their son, William Haggerston kept regular contacts with the English monks of Dieulouard. See Carnaby Haggerston (1715) 1713 (2) Sir Edward Gascoigne, 6th Baronet (1697-1750) Edward Gascoigne was the son of Sir John Gascoigne of Parlington from York. In 1713, he went to school at Dieulouard and went on a tour in 1724 after succeeding his father.16 As a committed English Catholic, he surrounded himself with like-minded companions for his tour: Henry Bostock, a physician and a Mr Warren, a cousin of the Warrens who were in Lorraine at the time.17 Edward had his portrait painted by the Italian Painter Francesco Trevisani (1656- 8 John Fisher, a Benedictine of St Laurence was in contact with the Haggerstons.

Patrick and I spent two weeks in England. We had planned to spend most of the time on the west coast but did manage to get a little further that we thought we might. Our friend Ma1colm Toms was with us and we spent a few days at the beginning and the endof our trip with his sisters in Hertfordshire and Surrey. We drove down to Cornwall and stopped by chance at Pitton, Wilts on the way. We had read quite a bit lately about Henry II's palace at Clarendon and wanted to see if there was anything left of the palace that had once time been so prominent. I knew Clarendon was between Pitton and Salisbury and we spent several hours hiking the public footpath across the Clarendon Park Estate. Any ruins that might exist are likely on private property and not open to the pubhc. Spent a morning exploring the ancient ruins at Tintagel in Cornwall and then headed up the coast.

  • 'The Publishers of the 1723 Book of Constitutions', AQC 121 (2008)
    The Publishers of the 1723 Book of Constitutions Andrew Prescott he advertisements in the issue of the London newspaper, The Evening Post, for 23 February 1723 were mostly for recently published books, including a new edition of the celebrated directory originally compiled by John Chamberlayne, Magnae Britanniae Notitia, and books offering a new cure for scurvy and advice Tfor those with consumption. Among the advertisements for new books in The Evening Post of 23 February 1723 was the following: This Day is publiſh’d, † || § The CONSTITUTIONS of the FREE- MASONS, containing the Hiſtory, Charges, Regulations, &c., of that moſt Ancient and Right Worſhipful Fraternity, for the Uſe of the Lodges. Dedicated to his Grace the Duke of Montagu the laſt Grand Maſter, by Order of his Grace the Duke of Wharton, the preſent Grand Maſter, Authoriz’d by the Grand Lodge of Maſters and War- dens at the Quarterly Communication. Ordered to be publiſh’d and recommended to the Brethren by the Grand Maſter and his Deputy. Printed for J. Senex, and J. Hooke, both over againſt St Dunſtan’s Church, Fleet-ſtreet. An advertisement in similar terms, also stating that the Constitutions had been pub- lished ‘that day’, appeared in The Post Boy of 26 February, 5 March and 12 March 1723 Volume 121, 2008 147 Andrew J. Prescott and TheLondon Journal of 9 March and 16 March 1723. The advertisement (modified to ‘just publish’d’) continued to appear in The London Journal until 13 April 1723. The publication of The Constitutions of the Free-Masons, or the Book of Constitutions as it has become generally known, was a fundamental event in the development of Grand Lodge Freemasonry, and the book remains an indispensable source for the investigation of the growth of Freemasonry in the first half of the eighteenth century.

  • The Story of a House Kevin Casey
    The Story of a House Kevin Casey Everything we know about Nathaniel Clements suggests that he was an archetypal Ascendancy man. Eighteenth century Dublin was a good place in which to be young, rich and of the ruling class. The Treaty of Limerick - the event that marked the beginning of the century as definitively as the Act of Union ended it - provided a minority of the population, the Ascendancy, with status, influence and power. Penal Laws, imposed upon Roman Catholics and Dissenters, made it impossible for them to play an active part in Government or to hold an office under the Crown. Deprived of access to education and burdened with rigorous property restrictions, they lived at, or below, subsistence level, alienated from the ruling class and supporting any agitation that held hope of improving their lot. Visitors to the country were appalled by what they saw: "The poverty of the people as I passed through the country has made my heart ache", wrote Mrs. Delaney, the English wife of an Irish Dean. "I never saw greater appearance of misery." Jonathan Swift provided an even more graphic witness: "There is not an acre of land in Ireland turned to half its advantage", he wrote in 1732, "yet it is better improved than the people .... Whoever travels this country and observes the face of nature, or the faces and habits and dwellings of the natives, will hardly think himself in a land where law, religion or common humanity is professed." For someone like Nathaniel Clements, however, the century offered an amalgam of power and pleasure.

  • The Architects of Eighteenth Century English Freemasonry, 1720 – 1740
    The Architects of Eighteenth Century English Freemasonry, 1720 – 1740 Submitted by Richard Andrew Berman to the University of Exeter as a Thesis for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Research in History 15 December 2010. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis that is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other university. R A Berman 1 | P a g e Abstract Following the appointment of its first aristocratic Grand Masters in the 1720s and in the wake of its connections to the scientific Enlightenment, ‘Free and Accepted’ Masonry rapidly became part of Britain’s national profile and the largest and arguably the most influential of Britain’s extensive clubs and societies. The new organisation did not evolve naturally from the mediaeval guilds and religious orders that pre-dated it, but was reconfigured radically by a largely self-appointed inner core. Freemasonry became a vehicle for the expression and transmission of the political and religious views of those at its centre, and for the scientific Enlightenment concepts that they championed. The ‘Craft’ also offered a channel through which many sought to realise personal aspirations: social, intellectual and financial. Through an examination of relevant primary and secondary documentary evidence, this thesis seeks to contribute to a broader understanding of contemporary English political and social culture, and to explore the manner in which Freemasonry became a mechanism that promoted the interests of the Hanoverian establishment and connected and bound a number of élite metropolitan and provincial figures.

  • The Blenheim Papers
    THE BLENHEIM PAPERS J. p. HUDSON THE papers of John, ist Duke of Marlborough, his wife, Sarah, and his son-in-law, Charles 3rd Earl of Sunderland, as well as of other members of the Spencer, Churchill, and related families, formerly kept at Blenheim Palace, were acquired by the British Library in 1978. They were originally offered to the Treasury in part payment of duty on the estate of the ioth Duke of Marlborough (d. 11 March 1972) late in 1973. The present writer spent two long week-ends inspecting the collection in the Muniment Room at Blenheim in January and March 1974, and made a list and valuations based on the original manuscript list, in three volumes, made at the end of the nineteenth century by J. Stuart Reid, which was itself based on the arrangement made by Archdeacon William Coxe at the beginning of the century. Staff of the Department of Manuscripts collected the papers from Blenheim in mid-November 1976, and the papers were stored in the Department pending their allocation to an institution. The Department of Education and Science advertised the collection in mid-March 1977, and the decision to allocate the papers to the British Library was announced in Parliament on 25 January 1978. Save in a single instance, the arrangement of the papers at Blenheim into lettered series, further subdivided into numbered bundles, bore little or no resemblance to any original arrangement which may have existed before Archdeacon Coxe arranged the collection early in the nineteenth century. Such little evidence as there is seems to indicate that Coxe disregarded any earlier arrangement that there may have been.

  • The Congleton Accounts: Further Evidence of Elizabethan and Jacobean Drama in Cheshire
    ALAN C . COMAN The Congleton accounts: further evidence of Elizabethan and Jacobean drama in Cheshire Last summer, while conducting my research into the influence on Elizabethan and Jacobean drama of schoolmasters and household tutors in the northwest of England - viz, Cheshire, Lancashire, Shropshire (Salop) and Westmorland (Cumbria) - I came across some evidence of dramatic activities in Congleton that I believe are as yet undocumented but are significant in several respects . Since it was a chance discovery right at the end of my stay, what is presented here is only a cursory examination of the records, not a thorough and complete study . In the Cheshire County Record Office, I had occasion to consult Robert Head's Congleton Past and Present, published in 1887 and republished presumably as a centenary tribute in 1987, and History of Congleton, edited by W .B. Stephens and published in 1970 to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the town's royal charter.' Although my immediate concern was with the history of Congleton Grammar School and any possible dramatic activity connected with it, I was struck by references to the town's notorious week-long cockfights and bearbaits, and the even more intriguing assertions that the cockpit was usually in the school and that the schoolmaster was the controller and director of the pastime, reclaiming all runaway cocks as his own rightful perquisites .
