Personality Profiles of Florence And
A REVIEW OF BRUCE ROBINSON'S BOOK AND THE MAYBRICK CONNECTION By Chris Jones (author of the Maybrick A to Z) If you haven't read Bruce Robinson's recent book on Jack the Ripper and the alleged connection to Michael Maybrick, then you must. It is long and detailed, though you maybe shocked by some of his language; for example, he refers to the Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury, as the 'boss c--t of his class.'1 Robinson makes a strong case that there was a Masonic link to the murders and that the Establishment were keen to cover up certain incidents; for example, the truncated manner in which the coroner's inquest into the death of Mary Kelly was conducted. Robinson also makes a strong case that many of the letters sent to the police may have come from the serial killer himself. As well as the canonical murders, he also examines some less well known events which he argues are linked to the Ripper killings; for example, the 'Whitehall Mystery' and the discovery of the human headless, limbless torso on the building site that was to become New Scotland Yard. Some of the most important sections of Robinson's book deal with the relationship between Michael Maybrick and his brother James, and with James's wife, Florence. Three of his core arguments are that Michael 'fingered' James to be Jack the Ripper and (with the help of others) had him murdered and finally, with the help of high-ranking Masonic figures, had Florence blamed for the crime as she had 'discovered the truth of a terrible secret.'2 Although many of Robinson's arguments are supported by research, some of the important assertions he makes concerning the Maybricks, lack evidence and are therefore open to question. -

THE FIRST PURPOSE BUILT MOSQUE in BRITAIN (BEAT THAT LONDON & CARDIFF & LIVERPOOL) Iain Wakeford 2015
THE FIRST PURPOSE BUILT MOSQUE IN BRITAIN (BEAT THAT LONDON & CARDIFF & LIVERPOOL) Iain Wakeford 2015 ometimes Local History can be just that – purely local, the opening of a new school, the building of a chapel or church – but other times it can have a national or even international angle. This week, as we reach the year 1889, there are at least three S pieces of local history that meet that criteria, making Woking known the world over in Victorian Times (even if it is forgotten in some places now)! The former Royal Dramatic College bought by Dr Leitner for his Oriental Institute. ou may recall from earlier articles that in Dr Gottlieb Wilhelm Leitner, founder of the Oriental enhanced in status to become the University of 1877 the Royal Dramatic College at Institute in Woking - Surrey’s First University. the Punjab! He founded schools, libraries, Y Maybury closed and the buildings were literary associations and journals in India, but in sold to a property developer called Alfred the late 1870’s decided to return to Europe to Chabot. With plenty of undeveloped land still for carry out research at Heidelberg University and sale nearby he soon found that the buildings to do work for the Prussian, Austrian and British were something of a ‘white elephant’, with his Governments. It was probably about this time only solution to try to find another institution to that he thought about setting up an ‘Oriental take over the site. In 1884 he struck lucky Institute’ – somewhere for Europeans to study when the Hungarian born, Dr Gottlieb Wilhelm oriental language and culture before they Leitner purchased the site for his new ‘Oriental travelled to the east, and somewhere where Institute’. -
The Lost Chord, the Holy City and Williamsport, Pennsylvania
THE LOST CHORD, THE HOLY CITY AND WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA by Solomon Goodman, 1994 Editor's Introduction: Our late nineteenth century forbears were forever integrating the sacred and the secular. Studies of that era that attempt to focus on one or the other are doomed to miss the behind-the-scenes connections that provide the heart and soul informing the recorded events. While ostensibly unfolding the story of several connected pieces of sacred and popular music, this paper captures some of the romance and religion, the intellect and intrigue, the history and histrionics of those upon whose heritage we now build. The material presented comes from one of several ongoing research projects of the author, whose main interest is in music copyrighting. While a few United Methodist and Central Pennsylvania references have been inserted into the text at appropriate places, the style and focus are those of the author. We thank Mr. Goodman for allowing THE CHRONICLE to reproduce the fruits of his labor in this form. THE LOST CHORD One of the most popular composers of his day, Sir Arthur Sullivan is a strong candidate for the most talented and versatile secular/sacred, light/serious composer ever. This accomplished organist and author of stately hymns (including "Onward, Christian Soldiers"), is also the light-hearted composer of Gilbert and Sullivan operetta fame. During and immediately following his lifetime, however, his most successful song was the semi-sacred "The Lost Chord." In 1876 Sullivan's brother Fred, to whom he was deeply attached, fell ill and lingered for three weeks before dying. -

The Lives and Times of Florence Maybrick, 1891-2015

Inspired by Paul Davis’ Lives and Times of Ebenezer Scrooge, it considers the various iterations of Florence’s story as “protean fantasies,” in which the narrative changed to reflect the realities of the time in which it was (re)written. It tracks shifting patterns of emphasis and authors’ rigid conformity to associated sets of discursive strategies to argue that this body of literature can be divided into three distinct epochs. The 1891-1912 era was characterized by authors’ instrumentalization of sympathy on Florence’s behalf in response to contemporary concerns about the administration of criminal justice in England. -

Set primarily but not exclusively in the nineteenth century, the series shifts attention from modernity’s twentieth- century forms to its earlier moments of uncertain and often disputed construction. Seeking books of interest to scholars on both sides of the Atlantic, it thereby encourages the expansion of nineteenth- century studies and the exploration of more global patterns of development.
