Issued while Napoleon was still on Elba. PRINCE ALBERT CONDEMNS THE SLAVE TRADE [ALBERT (Prince, 1819-1861, Consort of Queen Victoria)] Contemporary Copy of his First Public Speech in England, at the first anniversary meeting of the ‘Society for the Extinction of the Slave Trade, and for the Civilization of Africa’, saying that he has “been induced to preside at the Meeting of this Society from a Conviction of its paramount Importance to the great Interests of Humanity and Justice. I deeply regret that the benevolent and persevering exertions to abolish that atrocious Traffic in human Beings, at once the desolation of Africa and the blackest stain upon civilized Europe have not as yet led to any satisfactory conclusion ... Let us therefore trust that Providence will prosper our Exertions in so holy a cause and that under the auspices of our Queen and her Government we may ... be rewarded by the accomplishment of the great & humane object, for ... which we have this day met”, 2 sides 4to. and conjugate blank, descriptive note in another hand at head “... the first meeting at which he presided in this Country”, [Exeter Hall, Strand, London, 1st June 1840], outer margin frayed with short tear touching three letters, top inner corner neatly removed [14307] £300 The ‘Times’ devoted a whole page and more to the meeting, at which Sir Robert Peel and Lord Ashley (Lord Shaftesbury) were among the other speakers. Following ‘the public announcement that his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who a few days ago accepted the office of President of this society would take the chair ... the demand for tickets was unparalleled, and we understand that on Friday and Saturday last premiums were offered for them ... His Royal Highness, who seemed to feel most sensibly the truly English and enthusiastic reception ... proceeded with great distinctness, and with a very slight foreign accent, to open the business of the day’. Albert’s mention of the Queen was followed by ‘cheering for some minutes’ and the speech itself by ‘loud and long-continued cheers’ (‘Times’, 2nd June 1840). ‘On this occasion he wrote his speech in German, translated it, and learnt it off by heart ... The Queen complained that their visit to Cherbourg in 1858 was overshadowed by the Prince’s attacks of nerves over his speech!’ (Hermione Hobhouse, ‘Prince Albert’, 1983). [ALBERT (Prince, 1819-1861, Consort of Queen Victoria)] Fine Memorial Card in pierced embossed paper, representing a plaque with his dates of birth, marriage and death, “May the affectionate tribute of a Nation’s sorrow, comfort the widow...”, surrounded by finely executed angels, willows and urns, 3” x 4½” black edged, published by Jeffs and Co., Red Lion Square, London, no date but 1861, a few traces of former laying down on blank verso, otherwise excellent [55085] £175 ALBERT VICTOR (Christian Edward, Duke of Clarence, 1864-1892, Eldest Son of Edward VII) Excellent autograph letter signed (“Edward”) to Madame answering her letter and telling her that he is “not in the habit of sending my autograph to people I am not acquainted with, but under the peculiar circumstances I shall make an exception to the rule and am able to grant your request ...”, he has then signed the conjugate blank as well as the letter, 2 sides 8vo., and the separate signature, notepaper headed with his blue crested Prince of Wales Monogram & X.R.H. so 10th Royal Hussars, Aldershot, 23rd February no year, circa 1885 [32252] £3750 Autograph letters of the Duke of Clarence are unusual due to his early death. He is still considered by some to be the infamous “Jack the Ripper”. 2 Sophie Dupré, XV The Green, Calne, Wilts, SN1 8DQ, Tel: (01249) 821121 ALBERT VICTOR (Christian Edward, Duke of Clarence, 1864-1892, Eldest Son of Edward VII) & GEORGE V (1865-1936, King of Great Britain) Delightful pair of cabinet photos by Stillfried of China and Japan, both signed “Edward” and “George” with the date, showing them head and shoulders only with the Duke of Clarence looking slightly to one side, 6¼” x 4¼” and George 6” x 4”, no place but previously annotated in another hand “while staying with Patrick Hughes Shanghai”, December 1881, George’s photo has had the mount trimmed and Edward’s has slight damage to the bottom of the mount neither affecting the image [32179] £2250 In 1879 the royal brothers served as Naval cadets on HMS Bacchante. They toured the British Empire, visiting the colonies in Australia and the Far East, and acquired tattoos in Japan. A delightful and unusual example of these two young Princes taken while travelling in China. Signed photos from the short life of the Duke of Clarence are rare. From the descendants of the Hughes family. Patrick Hughes was British Consul General in Shanghai at this time. One of his duties was to entertain visiting Royalty, and this presented considerable problems as the accommodation was quite primitive. His brother Thomas was the Commissioner of Chinese Customs and also held the rank of a Chinese Mandarin. These photos came from his eldest daughter, Gladys, later Viscountess Sidmouth. ALBERT VICTOR (Christian Edward, Duke of Clarence, 1864-1892, Eldest Son of Edward VII) Fine photo signed “Eddy” and dated showing him three quarters length in his splendid hussar’s uniform with frogging all down the front, holding his plumed helmet, 5¾” x 4”, no place, 1889 [33168] £1500 A photo of this quality would undoubtedly come from a Royal Collection.

  • The Court Post Office
    The Court Post Office BRITISH STAMPS Her Majesty is on record as having referred to the Royal Family as ‘The Firm’ and, like any successful business, it has to process large quantities of incoming and outgoing mail. In early 2012, the authors were given the opportunity of visiting Buckingham Palace to interview The Court Postmaster, David Baxter, and this article is the result of that visit.

  • Dynamics of Religious Ritual: Migration and Adaptation in Early Medieval Britain
    Dynamics of Religious Ritual: Migration and Adaptation in Early Medieval Britain A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Brooke Elizabeth Creager IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Peter S. Wells August 2019 Brooke Elizabeth Creager 2019 © For my Mom, I could never have done this without you. And for my Grandfather, thank you for showing me the world and never letting me doubt I can do anything. Thank you. i Abstract: How do migrations impact religious practice? In early Anglo-Saxon England, the practice of post-Roman Christianity adapted after the Anglo-Saxon migration. The contemporary texts all agree that Christianity continued to be practiced into the fifth and sixth centuries but the archaeological record reflects a predominantly Anglo-Saxon culture. My research compiles the evidence for post-Roman Christian practice on the east coast of England from cemeteries and Roman churches to determine the extent of religious change after the migration. Using the case study of post-Roman religion, the themes religion, migration, and the role of the individual are used to determine how a minority religion is practiced during periods of change within a new culturally dominant society. ii Table of Contents Abstract …………………………………………………………………………………...ii List of Figures ……………………………………………………………………………iv Preface …………………………………………………………………………………….1 I.

  • Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001
    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • “Naughty Willie” at Rhodes House
    Gowers of Uganda : Conduct and Misconduct Being an abridged version of an article forthcoming in ARAS : Gowers of Uganda: The Public and Private Life of a Forgotten Colonial Governor Roger Scott, University of Queensland I Apparently, not a lot has been written about the conduct of the private lives of colonial governors. This is in contrast to the information provided in histories and novels and films about white settler society in southern and eastern Africa. In my conference contribution, I want to add to this scarce literature. My forthcoming article in ARAS has a wider compass, including an appreciation of the intersection between the public and private life of a forgotten governor of Uganda, Sir William Gowers. Both pieces draw upon original archival and obscure secondary sources examined in the context of a wider project, a biography by my wife focussed on another member of the Gowers family, her paternal grand-father, Sir Ernest Gowers. These primary sources1 provide testimony from, among others, the Prince of Wales and his aide-de-campe, that Gowers was outgoing, entertaining, and full of bravado as well as personal bravery. The same files also reveal that his personal life became a source of widespread scandal among the East African Europeans, especially missionaries, and it required the intervention of his mentor Lord Lugard to fight off his dismissal by the Colonial Secretary. William was in other words a prototype of the cliché of the romantic literature of his era: the “Black Sheep” of the family. William and his younger brother Ernest were provided with an education at Rugby and Cambridge explicitly designed for entry to the public service.

  • A Library Letter From
    A THEN ITE A Library 'rhe Boston Letter from Athenteum No. 82 AUGUST Beacon Street Irregular Stnkes Agazn! Summer (zssue and readtng ltst) delayed tlus year, but does col'ne tn. ND what was summerlike about June of 198 5? Seriously, your editor apologi1cs for this inconvenient delay, but must plead preoccupation wtth pressing fam­ ily responsibilities. It is grattfying, however, to be told by Rodney Arm­ strong that quite a number of our readers have been clamonng (qutetly, of cou r ~e ) for the appearance of this issue. It's always pleasant to have one's small efforts ap­ preciated; and we trust that the extensive read1ng list offered here will be almost as useful in late summer as 1ts predecessors have proved in earber appearances. Before moving on to other topics, it seems appropriate to note that ITEMS 1s an irregular (not an annual, certainly not a quarterly) publication. Our original inten­ tion was to produce two or three issues tn most years; but our director's ANNUAL REPORT ts such a splendidly omnivorous devourer of MATERIA ATHENJEICA that we find ourself with a perennially impovenshed pen! But then, who could wtsh to lose a paragraph of that delightful Southern Baroque prose? At Home Readers will have observed the inevitably somewhat messy commencement of certain renovations on the first floor. The replacement, with insulated triple-layered glass, of the last of the 19 r 4 casements on the Granary stde of the budding should add considerably to fuel savings and security as well as wtnter warmth and summer coolness.

    A Highland paradise Balmoral Castle, Scotland A home of Her Majesty The Queen The product of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s enthusiasm for the Highlands, Balmoral remains a much- loved home of the Royal Family. Mary Miers looks at the history of the castle and its role as a sporting estate Photographs by Paul Barker enjoying all the activities that have come to identify the royal Highland holiday—picnic- ing and excursions into the hills, shooting, dancing, attending Highland games and listening to piping. three years later, they were back, sailing from osborne up the west coast to tour the islands and then spending a month at the Marquis of abercorn’s ardverikie estate on Loch Laggan, where albert first donned a kilt, Landseer was a guest and they got their first prolonged taste of the infamous Highland weather. It did not put them off; indeed, the royal love of remote, cold places, and their stamina for enduring the elements and the dis- comforts of long outdoor expeditions, is legendary. earlier tourists had come north to observe the sublime; the royal Family relished the full physical experience, get- ting out into the wilds and pitting them- selves against the elements. as osborne neared completion on the Isle of Wight, Victoria and albert set their hearts Fig 3: The castle drawing room in 1857, one of 11 interior views by James Roberts on acquiring a Highland holiday home. and then, a fortuitous accident occurred: the route, to be greeted by a pageant of piping, included the neighbouring estates of Mar.
