A good many years ago the necessity of providing more space for the a ccommoda tion of continually accumulating records led to the eviction from the R ecord R oom a t Aylesbury of a large quantity of rolls as being use less for business purposes .

Stored on shelves in the rooms of this Society, the evicted rolls remained for years without r appa ently exciting the inquisitiveness , far less the interest , of anyone , until one day l the writer casua ly took down a roll , and on opening the begrimed and dusty bundle, read on the fi rst paper the sign manual of John Wilkes .

In Bucks , the bulk of the paupers passed through the hands of the parish constables at Little Brickhill and Stony Stratford , the places where Watling Street enters and leaves the county on its ten - mile course through it ; and at Colnbrook and Taplow on the Bath Road . The constables whose sphere of usefulness included the places just ' mentioned did more fia sszng than all the remaining constables in the county put together and multiplied by two .

  • Fragmentary Narration and Ambiguity in Heliodorus' Aethiopica
    What Charicles Knew: Fragmentary Narration and Ambiguity in Heliodorus’ Aethiopica BENEDEK KRUCHIÓ University of Cambridge Towards the end of the tenth and last book of Heliodorus’ Aethiopica, a character who was left behind by the protagonists in Delphi in Book Four makes a surpris- ing reappearance in Ethiopia: Charicles, the Greek foster-father of the heroine Charicleia, arrives in Meroe, where the royal couple reside, and demands his daughter back from king Hydaspes, who is her biological father. While Charicles’ resurfacing is in itself surprising,1 scholars have particularly been puzzled by the question what he knows about Charicleia when he enters the scene: when the girl and her lover Theagenes elope from Delphi, Charicles is aware of her Ethiopian background but not of her royal descent; however, according to the established reading of a short segment of the novel’s finale, he seems to know who her parents are when he brings forward his request. Heliodorean scholarship has heretofore contented itself with branding Cha- ricles’ differing states of knowledge as a striking inconsistency.2 I shall first show that this is not just in general an obviously unsatisfactory approach to a puzzling passage, but also highly unlikely to be an accurate explanation in the present case. My paper will proceed by presenting alternative solutions to this puzzle. The first one sticks to the conventional reading of the two abovementioned direct speeches, arguing firstly that the communicative line which results in Charicles’ acquisition of knowledge can be reconstructed, and secondly that certain narratological prop- erties of the Aethiopica invite the reader to make assumptions about unnarrated events like those which are necessary for explaining Charicles’ surprising state of ————— 1 According to Lowe 2003, 256, Charicles’ reappearance is ‘the novel’s final and most mas- terly programmed surprise’; cf.

  • The Royal Ancestry of Zephaniah
    7G THE ROYAL ANCESTRY OF ZEPHANIAH. IN discussing the genealogy of the prophet Zephaniah, Prof. G. A. Smith says, "Zephaniah's great-great-grand­ father Hezekiah was in all probability the king." 1 This is to state the case more strongly than has been usual, but not more strongly than is reasonable. I return to the subject because it is possible in one respect to strengthen Prof. Smith's argument, 2 and to maintain the probability of the royal ancestry of the prophet even in view of a less favourable chronology than that adopted by Prof. Smith. The present state of opinion on the subject may be briefly summarized thus: that the Hezekiah who, according to Zephaniah i. 1, was the great-great-grandfather of the prophet, was identical with the king of J udah of that name, seems to some 3 impossible or improbable, to many 4 at least possible and not improbable, to many 5 probable. There are several more or less weighty reasons for accepting the identification; there are no valid objections; for my main purpose in this note is to show that what is generally regarded as the most serious objection-the chronological-is invalid. It will be well first of all briefly to recapitulate the reasons for the identification. (1) The genealogy of Zephaniah is, quite exceptionally, carried back four generations. In the titles of the remaining prophetic writings we find either only the name of the prophet ; 6 or the names of the prophet 1 The Book of the 1'1celt•e Prophets, ii.

Samalla kirjan tarkoitus on heitellä ilmaan yllättäviä ehdotuk- sia siitä, miten yllättävät asiat voivat hyvinkin liittyä yhteen ja kuinka kummalliset asiat voivatkin olla merkittäviä, kun niitä jonkun aikaa pohtii. Yksinkertaisimmat selitykset voivat olla oikeita, mutta aina ne eivät ole hedelmällisimpiä. Nämä ajatukset – jotka kirjoittajat kukin oman harkintansa mukaisessa määrin jakavat – heijastelevat ainakin jossain määrin kirjoittajien historiaa yliopistonlehtori, dosentti ja tut- kimusjohtaja Marko Nenosen kanssa. Haluamme sen tunnustaa ja sitä kunnioittaa. Marko on aina yllyttänyt visioimaan ja ideoimaan, ja hän on myös korostanut kaiken tutkimuksen merkitystä, ”pihviä”. Siksi tä- mäkään kirja ei ole perinteinen juhlakirja, vaan kirjallamme on pihvi, jonka tarkoitus on pohtia eri näkökannoilta kysymystä siitä, mitä mer- kitystä historialla milloinkin on.

Her Soul is white. She came to us as a very small child when her mother was our cook. In this day one would call her a “Kitchen Maid.” At the time she came to us the other servants spoke of her as “Nellie,” she helps wash the “deeshes.” Later on my Mother trained her as her own per¬ sonal maid and Nellie was taught to do everything. My Mother, of course, had in mind Nellie’s future life, which Nellie graphically explains to everyone, “Mis Daingerfield, she taught me all I knows.” Nellie has never lived with any other than my Daingerfields and is the one I love first.
