  • Chapter 3: Churches and Chapels
    Draft CHAPTER 3 Churches and Chapels Battersea’s places of worship mostly date (or dated) from the competitive Victorian era of church-building. Between 1906 and 1939 there were seventeen separate Anglican ecclesiastical parishes in Battersea, served by nineteen churches and two missions. All but two were created between 1847 and 1902. Eleven currently survive, seven in Anglican use, three under other Christian denominations, one as a community centre. Of the eight which have been demolished, four were rebuilt on a smaller scale after the Second World War; among these, one has passed to another denomination and another has shrunk itself again. Today there are ten Anglican churches in Battersea, one Georgian in date, six Victorian, and three of the post-war period. Battersea’s three Catholic churches date from between 1868 and 1907, and all are still in use. Nonconformists are harder to enumerate. There was one old-established Baptist congregation in the parish, but it was again during Victoria’s reign that missions and chapels ran riot. From over twenty foundations of that period just two, the Northcote Road Baptist Church and the Welsh Presbyterian Chapel in Beauchamp Road, can claim continuity in their original premises. Some have rebuilt, others have moved into their halls, but most have closed. St Mary’s, Battersea, pre-eminent as the original parish church, has been the subject of an exhaustive study, J. G. Taylor’s Our Lady of Batersey (1925). It was a dependency of Westminster Abbey up to the Reformation. Its patronage passed along with the manor of Battersea to the St John family in 1627 and hence in 1763 to the Earls Spencer.

  • Adolf Jellinek and the Creation of the Modern Rabbinate
    “A NEW SHOOT FROM THE HOUSE OF DAVID:” ADOLF JELLINEK AND THE CREATION OF THE MODERN RABBINATE Samuel Joseph Kessler A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved By: Randall Styers Yaakov Ariel Susannah Heschel Jonathan Hess Malachi Hacohen Lloyd Kramer @2016 Samuel Joseph Kessler ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Samuel Joseph Kessler: “A New Shoot From the House of David:” Adolf Jellinek and the Creation of the Modern Rabbinate (Under the direction of Randall Styers) This dissertation is a social history of Jewish religious experience in Central Europe during the nineteenth century, primarily told through the life and work of one of its founding rabbis, Adolf Jellinek (1821-1893). In response to Enlightenment ideology, emancipation, and urbanization, from about 1830 to 1860 three major changes occurred in institutional Jewish religious life, changes that transformed the very essence of what the practice of Jewish religion meant between the pre-modern and modern periods. First, the role of the rabbi in the life of the Jewish community shifted fundamentally. Second, because of demographic shifts brought about by emancipation and economic conditions, the monumental urban synagogue became the dominant space for the expression of Jewish religious activity and expression in European cities. Third, the sermon became an integral part of Jewish religious practice and rabbinical responsibility, one that introduced a new form of public Jewish theology focused on individual belief and history (the constituent components of “religion” as it came to be defined in modern Europe).

  • A Letter from Basil Hall to Charles Dickens
    A LETTER FROM BASIL HALL TO CHARLES DICKENS BY RICHARD W. NOLAND DR. RICHARD W. NOLAND, a graduate of Emory University Medical School, is comfleting work for his doctorate in English at Columbia University. He is currently an instructor in English at Rutgers University. N the Special Collections of the Rutgers University Library there is a letter from Basil Hall to Charles Dickens requesting him to Iallow one of Hall's friends, a sculptor named Joseph, to sculpt a bust. There is no record that such a bust was ever done. Hall (1788-1844), second son of Sir James Hall of Dunglass, Haddingtonshire, was educated at the high school of Edinburgh. He was a captain in the Royal Navy and a member of the Royal Society, to which he was elected in 1816. In addition to serving in the navy for many years, he also traveled widely, these travels including a visit to America in 1827-28. In 1829, he published an account in three volumes of his American journey, which Dickens read prior to his own visit to America in 1842.1 Like Dickens, Hall was outspoken in his criticism of American life and manners.2 Of Hall's fairly large output, his best known work is the Fragments of Voyages and Travels (1831-33). The text of the letter follows. The punctuation is altered where necessary for clarity or to conform to current usage, but it is basically Hall's own: Portsmouth 29th March 1841 My Dear Dickens, I have a favor to ask of you; and, without any round about ex- cuses or apologies I state it at once.

    PORTRAIT PROWL PRESENTED BY DR CHARLES WATERSTON FRSE Portraits in oils, Busts and Statuettes on display in the Rooms of the Royal Society of Edinburgh *ATIYAH, SIR MICHAEL FRANCIS (1929– ) Portrait by Juliet Wood, 2007 One of the world’s greatest mathematicians, Sir Michael Atiyah has had a profound and beneficial effect on the development of mathematics and science, both in the UK and in Europe. One of the pioneers of K-theory, he was knighted in 1983 and received the Order of Merit in 1993. He was Master of Trinity College, Cambridge from 1990 to 1997, and served as President of the Royal Society, London from 1990 to 1995 (exactly one hundred years after William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, President of the Royal Society 1890–95). Elected an Honorary FRSE in 1985, Sir Michael served as RSE President from 2005 to 2008. He is only the second person ever to have been sometime President of both the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Royal Society in London – the first being Lord Kelvin. During his Presidency of the RSE, Sir Michael was the driving force behind the commissioning of the James Clerk Maxwell statue, which now stands at the east end of George Street. This portrait was commisioned by the RSE’s Council, and unveiled by Lord Mackay of Clashfern on 5 June 2007. A small version was bought by the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. BARTHOLOMEW, JOHN GEORGE (1860–1920) Sketch portrait (c.1910) in oils by Edward Arthur Walton, presented by the artist's son Professor John Walton, FRSE, in 1954.

The Editor desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to the President and Council of the Royal Scottish Academy for the permission to reproduce the portraits and letters from their Library, and especially to the Secretary, Mr. W. D. McKay, R.S.A., who has rendered valuable assistance in the compilation of Mr. Baldry's exhaustive record. Also to Mr. P.
