  • Arise Sir Isaac! Newton's London Career
    26 February 2020 Arise Sir Isaac! Newton’s London Career Dr Patricia Fara This lecture is based on Patricia Fara’s forthcoming book, to be published by Oxford University Press in 2021. The Indian Emperor. Or the Conquest of Mexico. As performed in the year 1731 in Mr Conduitt’s, Master of the Mint, before the Duke of Cumberland &c. Act 4, Scene 4 by William Hogarth (1731-2) Isaac Newton is celebrated throughout the world as a great scientific genius who conceived the theory of gravity and revolutionized optical science. But in his early fifties, he abandoned his life as a reclusive scholar at Cambridge to spend three decades in London, a long period of metropolitan activity that is often overlooked. Enmeshed in Enlightenment politics and social affairs, Newton engaged in the linked spheres of early science and imperialist capitalism. Instead of the quiet cloisters and dark libraries of Cambridge’s all-male world, he now moved in fashionable London society, which was characterised by patronage relationships, sexual intrigues and ruthless ambition. An eminent Enlightenment figure who had twice served as an MP, Newton liaised with international visitors and mingled among elite circles of the Hanoverian aristocracy. Knighted by Queen Anne, and a close ally of the influential Earl of Halifax, Newton occupied a powerful position as President of London’s Royal Society. He also became Master of the Mint, responsible for the nation’s money at a time of financial crisis and himself making and losing small fortunes on the stock market. A major investor in the East India Company, Newton benefited from the global trading networks that relied on selling African captives to wealthy plantation owners in the Americas and was responsible for monitoring the import of African gold to be melted down for English guineas.

  • Julius Bryant – Mr Tulk's Table: from Marble Hill to Bondi and Back
    83 JULIUS BRYANT Mr Tulk’s table: from Marble Hill to Bondi and back Every reader at the State Library of Victoria knows ‘Mr Tulk’, at least from his silhouette that forms the logo of the eponymous cafe at the La Trobe St entrance in Melbourne. While the Library challenges every passer-by with its slogan ‘What’s your story?’, few may be aware of Mr Tulk’s own tale, before his appointment as the institution’s first chief librarian in March 1854. Readers (and diners) may be surprised to learn that the childhood home in England of Augustus Henry Tulk (1810–73), Marble Hill in Twickenham, has been a museum since 1966, and that the search by the museum’s curators to recover the lost historic contents of the house has led to Woollahra and Bondi in Sydney. A magnificent carved and marble-topped pier table, taken to Australia by Mr Tulk, is now permanently back in the room in Twickenham for which it was designed. Research towards its recovery has shed light on the literary, artistic and even mystical circle of Romanticism’s avant-garde that frequented the family home where Mr Tulk grew up.1 Marble Hill was built between 1724 and 1729 for Henrietta Howard, daughter of Sir Henry Hobart, 4th Baronet. Known from 1731 by her title, Countess of Suffolk, the wife of Sir Charles Hotham was mistress to the Prince of Wales (from 1728, King George II) for nearly 15 years from 1718. Her home was built as an investment, in readiness for her inevitable fall from favour and retirement from court.
