Ix the year 1861, there will be three eclipses of the Sun, one of the Moon, and a transit of Mercury over the Sun's disc. I.-An annular Eclipse of the Sun , Janua ry 11,+' 1861, visible in Australia. Begins on the earth generally January I Id, 10h. 47m. 2s. a.m., mean time at Brisbane , in longitude 57° 43' E of Greenwich , and latitude 19° 82' S.

Ends on the earth generally , July Sd. 3h. 13m. 44a., in longitude 172° 26' W. of Greenwich , and latitude 19° 11' S. III. -A partial Eclipse of the Moon, December 17, 1861, invisib le in Australia. IV.-A total Eclipse of the Sun , December 31, ISC1, invisible in Australia. NOTES FOR THE CALENDAR. Tae Moon's Age is given at noon , and is the mean time elapsed since the Moon's ecliptic conjunction with the bun, or since the Sun and Moon had the same longitude . The numbers in the " Moon 's Age" column are calculated for Brisbane , and are expressed in days and decimal parts of a day. Pica difference in time be tween high water at the Bar and Brisbane, is one hour; between Brisbane and Ipswich , 3 hours. This applies as a general rule, but the actual time of high water is frequently influenced by strong northerly and easterly gales, and violent freshes in the river. When the Sun is south of the Equator , the day tides in the southern hemis- phere are the highest ; when north of the equator , the night tides are highest. These changes will take place about the second or thirdopring ti de after the sun has crossed the equinox . The day tides will be the highest until the first spring tide in April, when the night tides will take precedence until the new moon in October , after which , the day tides will again take precedence. * The time of these Eclipses has been arranged to suit the meridian of Brisbane.

    Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Page 1 Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Page 2 Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Published by Kaiapoi Co-operating Parish 53 Fuller Street Kaiapoi Email - [email protected] ISBN 0-476-00222-2 ©Copyright Kaiapoi Co-operating Parish, February 2004 Printed by Wickliffe Print 482 Moorhouse Avenue Christchurch PREFACE This is a story of three parishes - one Methodist, one Presbyterian, and one Co- operating - worshiping and witnessing in Kaiapoi in three different centuries. It starts with pioneer settlers in a small village half a world away from their homes. It ends - at least this part of the story does - in a burgeoning satellite town. Letters and news originally took months to arrive. Now they are as instant as emails and television. However, through the dramatic changes of the last 150 years runs the common thread of faith. This is a story which needs to be read twice. The first time, read what Jean Turvey has written. In any history there are those people who stand out because of their leadership, strong personalities, or eccentricities. Ministers loom large, simply because they are involved in most aspects of parish life. Buildings feature, because they provide a focal point for congregational life. The second reading of this history is more difficult. You need to read between the lines, to focus on what is not written. The unrecorded history of these three parishes is just as vital as the narration of obvious events and personalities. It consists of people whose names are unknown, but who worshipped faithfully and gave life to these local churches.

  • The Story of Christchurch, New Zealand
    THE STORY OF CHRISTCHURCH, N.Z. JOHN ROBERT GODLEY, The Founder of Canterbury. THE STORY OF CHRISTCHURCH NEW ZEALAND. BY HENRY F. WIGRAM. CHRISTCHURCH: PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY THE LYTTELTON TIMES Co., LTH I91B. 430 PREFACE. The story of the foundation and early growth of Canterbury was first told to me, bit by bit, more than thirty years ago, some of it by men and women who had actually taken part in the founding of the settlement, and shaping its destiny, and some by late-comers, who had followed closely on the heels of the pioneers. There were many people then living who delighted in talking of their strenuous life in the pioneering days, " when all the world was young," and in telling of events which are now passing into silent history. Many of the stories I heard then are still vivid in my memory, little episodes illustrating the daily life of a community which had to do everything for itself survey, settle, stock and till the land, build its own roads, bridges and railways, form its own religious, educa- tional, political and social institutions, and construct its own local government. It is no wonder that coming from the valley of the Thames, where the results of centuries of civilisation had come to be accepted as the natural condition of nineteenth century existence, I found the contrast interesting and inspiring. My wife and I were received with the kindly hospi- tality so typical of the time and country. Amongst our immediate neighbours at Upper Riccarton were many old settlers. Mr.

  • 1852-1930 Emily Jordan 1858-1936 a LIST of the RECORDS BELONGING to MR and MRS FOLGER in the FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY Compiled
    1852-1930 Emily Jordan 1858-1936 A LIST OF THE RECORDS BELONGING TO MR AND MRS FOLGER IN THE FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY Compiled ca. 1965 ii INTRODUCTION The records of Mr and Mrs Folger which are in the Folger Shakespeare Library are only part of those which they must once have had. Certain kinds of papers, like the collection of booksellers' bills and receipts, have probably survived in their entirety. Others, like certain personal bills and letters, only sporadically. Mrs Folger sent ten cases of her . husband's books and papers to the Standard Oil, Company of New York in (See also her June 1932. Many of the documents now in the library were deposited Meridian Club before Mrs Folger's death; a battered label bears the note “Mr Henry C. Paper, 1933, p. 9, in Folger. Cancelled checks; receipted bills, miscellaneous unsorted papers Box 33) and scraps. These were removed from the closet in the cataloging room on September 26, 1935". More were added after Mrs Folger's death. Some, of the photographs were received from the estate of Mrs Folger, April 7, 1936. A.S.W Rosenbach, presented 3 scrapbooks made by Mr and Mrs Folger during their college days, Sep. 22, 1939. E.J. Dimock, a nephew, presented 2 notebooks and one scrapbook, Oct. 12, 1939. Miss Myers gave E.J. Rogers' correspondence with Mrs Folger, Sep. 22, 1960. The collection of records which thus found its way into the library had very little order and lay as a miscellaneous collection of crates, boxes, cartons and volumes.

  • The Black Community in Asheville, North Carolina from 1793 to 1900
    Life Beneath The Veneer: The Black Community in Asheville, North Carolina from 1793 to 1900 Darin J. Waters A dissertation submitted to the faculty of 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 History. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Dr. Harry Watson Dr. Fitzhugh Brundage Dr. Heather Williams Dr. Genna Rea McNeil Dr. James E. Crisp ©2011 Darin J. Waters ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract DARIN J. WATERS: Life Beneath the Veneer: The Black Community in Asheville, North Carolina from 1793 to 1900 (Under the direction of Harry Watson) The focus of this dissertation is the social, economic, and political development of the black community in Asheville, North Carolina from 1793 to 1900. It spans the period of slavery, the Civil War, emancipation, Fusion politics, and disfranchisement. From 1865 to 1900, blacks in Asheville experienced some progress. As the city’s popularity as a national tourist and health resort grew, especially after the arrival of the railroad in 1880, blacks found jobs in the city’s growing service sector. Service sector jobs did not provide blacks with the type of financial opportunities necessary for any significant economic or social progress, however. The racial attitudes of whites added to the challenges that blacks faced in Asheville. As a very small minority, blacks never had any significant degree of political power in Asheville and, thus, were thus without any means through which they might challenge their marginalization. Asheville’s importance rests in its role as the economic, social, and political center of western North Carolina.

During the last forty years, the house has been significant as the site of a long-standing urban commune, members of which were active in social and political issues, with initial meetings of Halt All Rascist Tours (HART) and Greenpeace NZ being held there. Chippenham Lodge was built c1862 by the Goldney brothers who owned Cora Lynn Station in Arthur’s Pass. The building was named for their birthplace in Wiltshire. The dwelling was sold in 1865 when George Goldney decided to return to England, and an extension was Page 1 added at this point. The dwelling was sold again in 1875 to the Hon. John Thomas Peacock, a wealthy Australian born shipping merchant and former Lyttelton MP and Provincial Councillor. Chippenham was transferred to John Evans Brown in 1879. Browns Road is named after him and as well as being MP for Ashley, Brown was also chairman of the Canterbury Tramway Company and represented St Albans in the General Assembly from 1881-1884.
