  • Diary Or Mariana Fox Tuckett's Journal
    Mariana Fox Tuckett (1) circa 1860. A VICTORIAN “TEENAGER’S” DIARY OR MARIANA FOX TUCKETT’S JOURNAL DEC. 1857 - MARCH 59 Transcribed for the Frenchay Tuckett Society by Gerald Franklin Copyright © June 2011 Introduction. As the Executor of her Uncle Hubert Fox’s estate, Sarah Smith nee Fox, kindly donated to the Society six volumes of a journal kept by her Great Grandmother Mariana Fox Tuckett during her teenage years 1857/59. As these volumes contain a very interesting and detailed account during that period of the Tucketts, other Quaker families, as well as friends, acquaintances and some important persons, it was felt that they should be transcribed and made available to be read by members of the Society and visitors to the Frenchay Village Museum. In writing her journal Mariana mentions a great number of relations, friends, neighbours and other people. Unfortunately, as was the practice of Quakers of the period, she generally uses initials or first names for relations and friends and, where she mentions other persons she just gives names and no details. In view of this, and to provide the reader with more information, Dramatis Personae have been added at the end of this Introduction giving whatever information that could be ascertained. This List has been divided into a number of separate sections detailing Family, Relations, Friends and other Persons, these are listed in numerical order with the appropriate number appended to the various initials/names the first few times they appear in each volume of the journals. However due to the above sections, these will not be in numerical order but will appear somewhat randomly.

  • The Playground of Europe, 1871 to 1971 Arnold Lunn 1
    The playgrou nd of Europe, 1871 to 1971 (A centenary tribute to Leslie Stephen) Arnold Lunn I started writing this paper with misgiving, for some of you will have read A Century of Mountaineering, in which 1 wrote at some length about Stephen, and which was presented by the Swiss Foundation for 10untain Research to every member of the Alpine Club. Fortunately, most people only retain a vague memory of what they have read. 1 remember reading an article in an old magazine, all contributions to which were required to be anonymous-an article which seemed vaguely familiar. I handed the magazine to my wife. 'You must read this admirable article', I said. 'I agree with this anonymous author in every point he makes.' My wife glanced at the article. 'Well, you have found at least one person who agrees with you, for you wrote this article.' The Playground ofEurope, which I first read in my early teens still seems to me to be perhaps the best book ever written about mountaineering. Certainly I know nothing in Alpine literature better than Stephen's chapter on 'The Alps in winter'. I read almost everything that Stephen wrote, his literary criticism and his An Agnostic's Apology which I found completely convincing. H. A. L. Fisher, who had married Leslie Stephen's niece, read a paper to an undergraduate club in my rooms at Balliol. He was then the Warden of New College. He noticed a portrait of Leslie Stephen hanging on my walls, and stopped behind after the meeting to talk about Stephen.

  • Recollections of Early Birmingham Members of the Alpine Club
    RECOLLECTIONS OF EARLY BIRMINGHAM MEMBERS OF THE ALPINE CLUB. By WALTER BARROW. This is an attempt to give the present generation of climbers a sketch of some of the men of Birmingham and the Midlands who were prominent mountaineers in the last half of the 19th Century and with nearly all of whom I was personally acquainted. The Alpine Club the Mother of Alpine Clubs the world over was founded in England in 1857 (80 years ago). Three of the men of whom I am to speak were among the founders and original members of the Club. And one of these three was a climber with whose first ascent of the Wetterhorn in 1854 modern mountaineering as we know it is usually said to have begun. All these three were Birmingham men, so that we as Midlanders may well be proud of the part this City played in its early encouragement of our sport. But before I tell you of these and others whose names will be remembered as climbers I want to speak of a great Statesman of world wide reputation who became a member of the Alpine Club within 12 months of its foundation. Very few people know that JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, who did more than any man to make Birming­ ham what it has become, joined the Alpine Club along with his brother-in-law, John Arthur Kenrick in November, 1858. I must confess that I was 'surprised myself to find this out when search­ ing the early records of the Alpine Club. Chamberlain was then just 22 years of age and he had apparently had two holidays among the Swiss mountains.

  • John Tyndall's Vertical Physics: from Rock Quarries to Icy Peaks
    Phys. Perspect. 12 (2010) 122–145 Ó 2010 Birkha¨user Verlag, Basel/Switzerland 1422-6944/10/020122-24 DOI 10.1007/s00016-009-0012-y Physics in Perspective John Tyndall’s Vertical Physics: From Rock Quarries to Icy Peaks Michael S. Reidy* I analyze, through the work of the Irish physicist John Tyndall (1820–1893), the close relationship formed in the mid-nineteenth century between advances in the physical sci- ences and the rise of mountaineering as a sport. Along with groundbreaking experimental research in the physical sciences, Tyndall worked throughout his career to define and popularize the study of physics. He also was a pioneering mountaineer during the golden age of mountaineering. As he practiced his science, from rock quarries to the study of the blue sky, Tyndall’s interests in the fundamental forces of Nature brought him to the summits of mountains. His sojourns to the mountains, in turn, affected the manner in which he approached his researches. His science and mountaineering were tellingly mixed, and worked in unison to shape public perceptions of what physicists did during a period of increasing specialization and popularization of the field. Key words: John Tyndall; Joseph Dalton Hooker; Thomas Henry Huxley; James David Forbes; Michael Faraday; Royal Institution of Great Britain; British Association for the Advancement of Science; Alps; mountaineering; physics; radiant heat; glaciers; popularization. They were no idle scamperers on the mountains that made these wild recesses first known; it was not the desire for health which now brings some, or the desire for grandeur and beauty which brings others, or the wish to be able to say that they have climbed a mountain or crossed a col, which I fear brings a good many more; it was a desire for knowledge that brought the first explorers here….

Yet, from the post-First World War period innovation; rope team until today, French women mountaineers have discovered and organized a novel and atypical experience: climbing in manless rope teams to meet their unsatisfied social needs for independ- ence, equal rights, and acknowledgment of their capacities.

  • 1. Mountaineering and Trekking Expeditions, by Roger Payne
    03 RGS Expedition Handbk 4/3/04 3:55 pm Page 186 16 MOUNTAINEERING AND TREKKING EXPEDITIONS Roger Payne hether you are considering the “last great” mountaineering challenge or Wthinking about your first climbs in the greater ranges, you would be wise to ensure that you have accumulated a solid base of mountaineering and alpine experi- ence closer to home first. The British Mountaineering Council can provide details of local climbing clubs, and details of courses including those run by the national centres for mountain sports at Plas y Brenin and Glenmore Lodge. Having acquired sufficient experience, the first problem is to identify a suitable objective. The best way to approach this is to consider carefully the different areas in which you wish to travel or climb. Select an area that does not pose too many polit- ical and logistical problems. As Alan Rouse said, “It is nice to get to the top first time round.” For example, some valleys in Nepal have very good access with relatively straightforward approaches to the peaks, whereas remote Karakoram passes and peaks have proved completely elusive to inexperienced groups! Consider the likely weather and conditions: Alaska and Patagonia can produce conditions as extreme as their positions are relative to each other. Do not make your first trip to the greater ranges your last!
