While listing the many titles for appraisal, I felt myself tempted to glance through and sometimes read aloud to my colleagues in the work room, paragraphs from Daring Confes- sions, Detective Yearbook, Private Confes- sions, and Sky Fighters. Although I have never been driven to purchase The National Enquirer (enquiring minds want to know), these sometime naïve magazines do have an appeal of their own.

  • The Dropmore Papers (Add
    THE DROPMORE PAPERS (ADD. MSS. 58855-59494) ROBERT A. H. SMITH WILLIAM WYNDHAM, Baron Grenville (1759-1834), Prime Minister from 1806 to 1807 and earlier, from 1791 to 1801, Foreign Secretary under Pitt the Younger, left on his death over 300 portfolios of letters and papers and over 150 letter- and precis-books, the fruits of a public career of some fifty years. The Dropmore Papers, named after Grenville's country home, were acquired by the Department of Manuscripts in 1970. The arrangement of this large collection had been started, apparently at various times, during Grenville's lifetime but remained uncompleted at his death and thereafter. A few historians had used the papers when they were in the possession of the Fortescue family, but they were generally known only through the ten-volume Historical Manu- scripts Commission Report (1892-1927), almost entirely the work of one man, Walter Fitzpatrick.^ J. Holland Rose once declared that he found *no striking phrase which glitters amidst the leaden mass of [Grenville's] speeches and correspondence'.^ Grenville, a slow taciturn man, was rarely a witty or lively correspondent, but 'the leaden mass' remains both an unavoidable obstacle and an invaluable source for historians of Grenville's times. 'Fhis is partly because of Grenville's long public career, both in office and out, and the consequent bulk and scope of material, and partly because the papers of several of his contemporaries, most notably those of Henry Dundas and William Pitt, have been dispersed. The Dropmore Papers supplement other collections in the Department of Manuscripts, such as the Holland House, Auckland, Rose, Wellesley, Liverpool, Fox, and Leeds papers, and, furthermore, join other Grenville family collections acquired earlier, namely papers of his father George Grenville; of Earl Temple, Lord Grenville's uncle; and of George, Marquis of Buckingham, and Thomas, the politician and bibliophile.

  • The Position of the Moroccan Jewish Community Within the Anglo- Moroccan Diplomatic Relations from 1480 to 1886
    The Position of the Moroccan Jewish community within the Anglo- Moroccan Diplomatic Relations from 1480 to 1886 A presentation made by Mohammed Belmahi, KCFO, former Moroccan Ambassador to London (1999-2009), upon the invitation of the Rotary Club of London, on Monday 11th. May 2015, at the Chesterfield hotel, 35 Charles Street, Mayfair. [email protected] The Kingdom of Morocco has always considered its Jewish community as an integral part of its social, cultural, economic and political fabric. The Moroccan Constitution of 17 June 2011 states in its Preamble the following: "[The Kingdom of Morocco's] unity is forged by the convergence of its Arab-Islamic, Berber and Saharan-Hassanic components, nourished and enriched by its African, Andalusian, Hebraic and Mediterranean influences." Both at home and abroad, this community has enjoyed the trust, protection and support from the Kingdom's sovereigns. The Jews have in return contributed in the making of a multicultural and religiously diversified Moroccan society. Their craftsmanship, intellectual skills and international trading networks have helped boost the Moroccan economy. Therefore, Moroccan rulers have, throughout history, kept appointing prominent Moroccan Jews to high government positions such as political advisors, ministers, ambassadors, envoys, official trade representatives, or customs-duty and tax collectors. We choose to review this historical reality and examine it from the specific angle of the Anglo-Moroccan diplomatic relations going 800 years back in time. Such a long history permits us to make a deeper appraisal of the Moroccan Jews' position within these relations. Furthermore, our historical investigations are faced with no dearth of source- material, even when looking for data from as far back as the Sixteenth Century, when a continuous diplomatic relationship began between Morocco and England.(1) We will try to appraise this positioning by analysing a set of events and cases depicting Moroccan Jews during four centuries of Anglo-Moroccan relations, from 1480 to 1886.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

  • Thomas Grenville (1755-1846) Y La Bibliofilia Hispánica
    THOMAS GRENVILLE (1755-1846) Y LA BIBLIOFILIA HISPÁNICA BARRY TAYLOR (British Library) A BRITISH LIBRARY debe buena parte de su fondo antiguo hispánico a la donación realizada por Thomas Grenville en 1846. El enfoque del L presente estudio son los veintidós incunables hispánicos que entraron en esta biblioteca gracias a la generosidad del insigne bibliófilo. Para valorar el impacto que supuso la adquisición de la biblioteca grenviliana, hace falta pasar revista a la historia de los fondos incunables españoles de la British Library antes de 1846. 1. A NTES DE GRENVILLE El Museo Británico se fundó en 1753 al reunirse los fondos de varios coleccionistas, entre ellos el médico Sir Hans Sloane 1. (La biblioteca era uno de los departamentos del Museo hasta 1973, año en que se independizó como la British Library). Sloane contaba con buen número de incunables, entre los cuales se hallan solo dos de origen hispánico: una Pasion de Jesu Cristo fragmentaria ([Burgos: Fadrique de Basilea], encuadernada con Jacobo de la Vorágine, Leyenda áurea en castellano ([Burgos: Juan de Burgos]) 2. 1. Sobre la historia del fondo antiguo hispánico, véase Johnson 1988, 249-257; Bloomfield, 1997 2, 153-154; Taylor 2002, 421-430. 2.
