  • War, What Is It Good For? Sixteenth-Century English Translations of Ancient Texts on Warfare
    WAR, WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? SIXTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS OF ANCIENT TEXTS ON WARFARE Fred Schurink It is a commonplace that humanism and war are opposites. Yet, as C.H. Conley noted as long ago as 1927, many classical translations from the Tudor period have a military subject matter and, what is more, claim to instruct their readers in military skills.1 This is a particularly common fea- ture of translations of histories and, not surprisingly, military manuals, but the same applies to works from a variety of genres, ranging from biography to epic. The comments in the preface to Thomas Stocker’s translation of books 18 to 20 of Diodorus Siculus’ Bibliotheca historica, supplemented by Plutarch’s Life of Demetrius, are typical. In Diodorus’s work, Stocker claims, “may be sene the Stratagemes and pollicies in the facts of war, togither [with] many sundry and diuerse battailles, sieges and enterprises, verie pleasaunt to read and heare: wherein may also be lerned many things apperteyning to that arte.”2 The attitudes of Tudor translators of the clas- sics are neatly summed up by Ben Jonson, who wrote in a prefatory poem to the 1609 edition of Clement Edmondes’ translation of, and commentary on, the works of Caesar, Obseruations vpon Cæsars Comentaries (first pub- lished in 1600 with the revealing subtitle “setting fovrth the practise of the art military, in the time of the Roman Empire … for the better direction of our moderne warres”): WHo, Edmondes, reades thy booke, and doth not see What th’antique Souldiers were, the moderne be? Wherein thou shew’st, how much the latter are Beholden, to this Master of the Warre: And that, in Action, there is nothing new, More then to varie what our Elders knew.3 1 C.H.

  • “That Unhappy War of Yours”: Eight Letters from Samuel Laurence to Old Friends in New York City, 1861–1875
    “That unhappy War of yours”: Eight Letters from Samuel Laurence to Old Friends in New York City, 1861–1875 DAVID SOUTHERN Samuel Laurence (circa 1850) Photograph by Anthony Coningham Sterling Copyright © National Portrait Gallery, London AMUEL LAURENCE (1812–84), A PORTRAIT ARTIST WHO SPECIALIZED in literary figures both British and American, was possibly Sborn in Guildford, Surrey, beyond which, at least until recently, nothing was known of his parentage, his education, or any signal events from his formative years, except that at some point he changed the spelling of his last name from Lawrence. CSA 24 2008 6 CARLYLE STUDIES ANNUAL He first exhibited his work in London in 1834 and moved easily in circles of London literati. On 10 August 1836, at All Soul’s Church, Marylebone, he married Anastasia Gliddon, cousin and adopted sister of Katherine Gliddon and sister-in-law of Thornton Leigh Hunt. Perhaps as early as 1840 and certainly by 1844, the Laurences were participants in a “Bohemian Phalanstery” modeled upon the utopian philosophy of Charles Fourier (1772–1837), and it included Thornton and Katherine Hunt, George Henry Lewes, and Mary Ann Evans.1 James Spedding likely introduced Laurence to the Carlyles (see CL 29: 355), and at least ten letters to him from Thomas Carlyle (TC) and one from Jane Welsh Carlyle (JWC) can be found in the New York Public Library (Ray collection), the National Library of Scotland (NLS), the University of California Library, Santa Cruz (Strouse collection), and the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections at Duke University’s Perkins Library. To a letter from TC to his sister Jean Aitken, 6 July 1838, JWC added this piquant postscript: “—only think Carlyle is to have his picture taken again this time by an artist of genius—if it succeeds I mean to buy it of the man[.] It was I formerly that used to be asked to sit for pictures but every dog has its day” (CLO).

  • Westminster Abbey
    Westminster Abbey A National Scout and Guide Service of Celebration and Thanksgiving Saturday 3rd November 2018 Noon HISTORICAL NOTE Following the death of The Chief Scout of the World, The Lord Baden-Powell OM GCMG GCVO KCB DL, in 1941, a memorial stone was unveiled in Westminster Abbey on 23rd April 1947. From then until 1955, Scouting Headquarters staff and some members held an annual wreathlaying and a small service in the Abbey. In 1957, the centenary of Baden-Powell’s birth, the service was attended by members of the Royal Family. In years thereafter it was referred to as a Service of Thanksgiving, and became a much bigger celebration. From 1959 onwards, the service was held on the nearest Saturday to 22nd February and from 1978, following the death of Lady Baden-Powell GBE the previous year, this annual service changed in style and name to a joint celebration of Thinking Day and Founder’s Day. In 1981, a memorial was dedicated to Lord and Lady Baden-Powell in Westminster Abbey. In 2011, the arrangements for the service were reviewed and changed in the light of increasing local opportunities to celebrate these special occasions. The current arrangement nevertheless maintains the tradition of the annual service at Westminster Abbey, now known as the National Scout and Guide Service of Celebration and Thanksgiving and focuses on thanking the adult volunteer leaders and supporters for their service and dedication. WESTMINSTER ABBEY We cannot say with certainty when Westminster Abbey was founded, but we know that around the year 960 Benedictine monks settled on the marshy north bank of the Thames, in a place called Thorney Island.
