George Chowdharay-Best: a Bibliography A.V.Beedell and A George Chowdharay-Best: a Bibliography A.V.Beedell and A. D. Harvey Fig. 1. George Chowdharay-Best in the North Library, Bloomsbury, 1993. Photograph by Phil Starling. © Phil Starling eorge Chowdharay-Best (fig. 1), lexicographer and historian, was born on 31 May 1935. He was the son of Dr Dharam Sheel Chowdhary, one of the first Asian Gdoctors to practise in Britain outside the great cities, and of Savitri Chowdhary, whose book Indian Cooking,originally published in 1954 and frequently reprinted, has recently been reissued in Andre Deutsch’s Cookery Classics series. Dr Chowdhary, having studied medicine at King Edward Medical College, Lahore, and requalified on arrival in Britain in 1932, was for more than twenty-five years a popular and respected G.P. near Basildon. Although he and his wife were committed Hindus, their son had an entirely English education, at Brentwood School and Queen’s College, Oxford. His parents wished him to follow in his father’s professional footsteps but, after taking his degree in Physiology in 1956, he decided against completing his medical training. For a while he thought of settling in India but was put off the idea by a meeting his mother arranged with Krishna Menon; the latter said,‘You will do very well in India, but the first thing you must do is join the Communist Party.’ After his father died in 1959 he was baptized into the Church of England, remaining for the rest of his life a devout Anglican, and changed his name from Vijay Chowdhary to George Chowdharay-Best, Best being the surname of a girl he had hoped to marry. His first publication was a letter on political mud-slinging printed in The Times,8 September 1959, and during the early 1970s he became a notably assiduous writer of letters to the press. For some years his preferred platform was the Financial Times but he was not above having letters printed in the Australasian Express (a free newspaper catering for transient Antipodeans, available from unmanned stands in a number of streets in central London) and in Time Out. As his involvement in research intensified, so his letter-writing fell away somewhat, but revived in the mid-1990s with a score or so of letters to the Daily Telegraph. His subjects ranged from international exchange rates to traffic problems and from fishing rights to foxes in Basildon; many of his letters contained out of the way information, with page references to his sources, and the longest were as long as a newspaper article. 1 eBLJ 2002,Article 3 George Chowdharay-Best: a Bibliography From March 1969 onwards he also began contributing notes on points of etymology to Notes & Queries, Mariner’s Mirror, Folklore and Asian Affairs and in 1972 published an extensively footnoted article on ‘Peeresses at the Opening of Parliament’ in The Table. The Journal of the Society of Clerks-at-the-Table in Commonwealth Parliaments. In 1980 and 1981 he assisted Sir Olaf Caroe, the penultimate British governor of the North West Frontier Province, with his autobiography, and after Sir Olaf’s death wrote a two-part appreciation for Central Asian Survey. His only book, written in conjunction with the late Sir John Biggs- Davison, M.P., was The Cross of St Patrick: the Catholic Unionist Tradition in Ireland (1984), a formidable work of scholarship on what many people wished to pretend was a non-existent subject. Much of the research he undertook consisted very largely of sifting and discarding, so that a briefly expressed detail regarding dating or definition or derivation may have been the result of ordering up and consulting, and reordering and rechecking, as many books in the British Library as would suffice for the writing of a M. Phil. thesis on a less problematic and possibly more glamorous topic. His pieces on Oxford English Dictionary antedatings in Notes & Queries, for example, though only four or five (double column) pages long, not only contain more data than most twenty-page articles but also necessarily involved the examination and elimination of several times as much material as was printed. Legal history was an early, and abiding, interest: one notes that his first publications on O.E.D. antedatings were based on the study of the Journals of the House of Commons and the works of John Selden, to which he had originally been drawn as sources for the history of law. The score of articles and notes he contributed to various journals from 1971 to 1981 not only testify to the depth of his scholarship but also indicate how much more of his work might have appeared in learned journals under his own name if he had not committed himself so whole-heartedly to the O.E.D. from the early 1980s onwards. In the 1989 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary he is one of nine people named as collaborators assisting with literary research; from 1989 he was a full-time member of the dictionary’s staff, first as an assistant editor and then as a senior assistant editor. He covered the whole range of English vocabulary but was regarded by his colleagues as particularly expert in scientific terms and loan words from Asian languages. A somewhat shy and formal man with an old-fashioned, almost romantic, respect for institutions, it was typical of George Chowdharay-Best that the work of which he was most proud should be subsumed in a great collaborative enterprise.With one or two exceptions all his later articles, though scholarly, were for non-specialist periodicals such as the Salisbury Review, the Oxford Magazine,or church magazines, and were often addressed, at least in part, to topical concerns. He also gave loyal support to his wife Elspeth’s efforts to arouse public awareness of the medical profession’s growing partiality for euthanasia. Underlying his scholarly work was an intense political engagement which comes out in some of his earlier letters to the press and was recognized by all those who knew him personally: he was quintessentially one of those scholars whose work was not merely something he ‘believed’ in, in the weakest and most anaemic sense of the word ‘believed’, but was an integral part of a comprehensive vision of what life was for. For many years he was a familiar figure in the British Library, rarely seen without a thick wad of slips of paper, each one of which bore notes on the etymology of some particularly recalcitrant word. Having over the years seen quite a number of the old regulars of the Round Reading Room at Bloomsbury fade, falter and fall away, he was to be the first of the long-term almost daily attenders of the new British Library at St Pancras to pass from view. He died on 21 April 2000. 2 eBLJ 2002,Article 3 George Chowdharay-Best: a Bibliography Bibliography Articles ‘The Colours of the Two Houses of Parliament at Westminster’, Notes & Queries, 16:3 (March 1969), p. 89. ‘China: Should We Review our Policy?’, Monday World, Magazine of the Radical Right (Autumn 1969), pp. 15-16. ‘Israel and the Arabs’, Monday World, Magazine of the Radical Right (Winter 1969/70), pp. 15-16. ‘Middle Ages’, Notes & Queries, 17:7 (July 1970), p. 246. ‘Posh’, Mariner’s Mirror, 57 (1971), pp. 91-2; this article is referred to in Dot Wordsworth’s ‘Mind your language’ column, Spectator, 21 Jan. 1995. ‘Peeresses at the Opening of Parliament’, The Table.The Journal of the Society of Clerks-at-the-Table in Commonwealth Parliaments, 41 (1972-3), pp. 10-27. ‘Indian English’, Asian Affairs, 60 (Oct. 1973), pp. 302-5. ‘The King’s Chambers’, Mariner’s Mirror, 60 (Feb. 1974), pp. 92-6. ‘The State Services of the Church of England’, The Anglican Catholic,new series, 5:19 (1974), pp. 10-15.

  • Roger Scruton
    ROGER SCRUTON Roger Vernon Scruton 27 February 1944 – 12 January 2020 elected Fellow of the British Academy 2008 by ANTHONY O’HEAR There can be little doubt that by the time of his death in 2020 Sir Roger Scruton had become one of the most important thinkers of his time, not just in Britain, but throughout the English-speaking world and in Europe, particularly in Central Europe. The term ‘thinker’ is used advisedly here. For while Scruton was primarily and pre- eminently a philosopher, indeed an academic philosopher, his range and influence extended into many fields, including religion, music, architecture, politics, the environ- ment, culture in a general sense, the writing of novels, the appreciation of wine, defences of hunting and traditional country life and the nature of animal rights. In addition to his writing, he composed music, including two operas, was a publisher and editor and advised governments. He was active politically in this country and played a significant role in dissident movements in the Eastern bloc before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy, XIX, 447–465 Posted 26 November 2020. © British Academy 2020. ROGER SCRUTON Academic career Roger Vernon Scruton was born in Lincolnshire in 1944, and educated at the Royal Grammar School in High Wycombe from 1954 to 1961. He then attended Jesus College, Cambridge, from 1962 to 1965 and again from 1967 to 1969. He took a Double First in Moral Sciences (Philosophy) in 1967, after which he spent a year as a lecteur in the University College of Pau.

Although a number of new and badly needed studies have appeared in recent years, there is still much to be covered.
