    Res Medica, Volume 268, Issue 2, 2005 Page 1 of 6 Two Diplomas Awarded to George Joseph Bell now in the Possession of the Royal Medical Society Matthew H. Kaufman Professor of Anatomy, Honorary Librarian of the Royal Medical Society Abstract The two earliest diplomas in the possession of the Royal Medical Society were both awarded to George Joseph Bell, BA Oxford. One of these diplomas was his Extraordinary Membership Diploma that was awarded to him on 5 April 1839. Very few of these Diplomas appear to have survived, and the critical introductory part of his Diploma is inscribed as follows: Ingenuus ornatissimusque Vir Georgius Jos.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

Historians have broadly endorsed accounts of the public spectacles and official functions of the king’s sojourn in the city as ersatz Highland pageantry projecting a national identity devoid of the Scottish Lowlands. This study asks if evidence supports an alternative interpretation locating the proceedings as epochal royal patronage within urban cultural history. Three largely discrete fields of historiography are examined: Peter Borsay’s seminal study of English provincial towns, 1660-1770; Edinburgh’s urban history, 1752-1822; and George IV’s 1822 visit.

  • Rossyln Scenic Lore
    ROSSLYN'S SCENIC LORE THE NORTH ESK RIVER OF ROMANCE "It is telling a tale that has been repeated a thousand times, to say, that a morning of leisure can scarcely be anywhere more delight- fully spent than hi the woods of Rosslyn, and on the banks of the Esk. Rosslyn and its adjacent scenery have associations, dear to the antiquary and historian, which may fairly entitle it to precedence over every other Scottish scene of the same kind." SIR WALTER SCOTT (" Provincial Antiquities of Scotland.") OF ROMANCE abound in Scotland, and RIVERSthe North Esk is one of them. From its source high up among the Pentland Heights near the Boarstane and the boundary line between Midlothian and Tweeddale, it is early gathered into a reservoir, whose engineer was Thomas Stevenson, father of Robert Louis Stevenson, constructed in 1850 to supply water and power used in the paper mills on the river's banks. Passing through Carlops, once a village of weavers, it flows on through the wooded gorge of Habbie's Howe and the woods surrounding Penicuik House, on to " Rosslyn's rocky glen," and Hawthornden, Melville Castle and Dalkeith Palace, entering the Firth of Forth at Musselburgh. Alas that the clear sparkling waters of the moorland stream should be so spoiled by the industries of the Wordsworth's valley." Dorothy Diary entry is still true the water of the stream is dingy and muddy." Modern legislation on river pollution is sadly lacking. 75 " I never passed through a more delicious dell than the Glen of wrote and of the Rosslyn," " Dorothy; river it has been written No stream in Scotland can boast such a varied succession of the most interesting objects, as well as the most romantic and beautiful scenery." It is associated with some of the most famous men in Scottish literature who have lived on its banks, and has inspired the muse of some of Scotland's best poets.

Burling A "sickly sort of refinement": The Problem of Sentimentalism in Mackenzie's The Man of Feeling Henry Mackenzie's The Man of Feeling, enormously popular when first published in 1771, was acknowledged by an entire generation of readers as the ultimate representation of the sentimental ethos. But outright contradiction now pervades critical discussion of the novel, with interpretation splitting on two central questions: Is Harley, the hero, an ideal man or a fool? And is the novel sympathetic to sentimentalism or opposed to it? The antithetical critical responses to The Man of Feeling may be resolved, however, when we recognize that Mackenzie was neither completely attacking nor condoning sentimentalism in toto. He was attempting to differentiate what he considered to be attributes of genuine and desirable humane sensitivity from those of the affected sentimentality then au courant in the hypocritical beau monde.

  • Adam Smith in Love · Econ Journal Watch : Abbe Colbert, James Currie, Janet Douglas, Lady Frances, David Hume, Henry Mackenzie
    Discuss this article at Journaltalk: https://journaltalk.net/articles/6031/ ECON JOURNAL WATCH 18(1) March 2021: 127–155 Adam Smith in Love F. E. Guerra-Pujol1 LINK TO ABSTRACT Is any resentment so keen as what follows the quarrels of lovers, or any love so passionate as what attends their reconcilement? —Adam Smith (1980a/1795, 36) Was Adam Smith speaking from personal experience when he posed those questions?2 Here I report on my investigations into the matter. An investigation into someone’s love life is not the sort of endeavor that Smith would have ever undertaken. At the same time, if someone had ever produced such a report on, say, Montaigne or Grotius, we can imagine Smith glancing at it. The authors we most admire and learn from are human beings, and their character, personality, and private lives often figure into our understandings of their works. In the present report on Smith’s love life, I do not turn to interpreting Smith’s works, notably The Theory of Moral Sentiments, which contains several substantive passages about romantic love and about lust and licentious- ness.3 Instead, I presuppose that the reader has a natural and healthy curiosity about Smith’s personal life, including his love life. 1. University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL 32816. I thank Alain Alcouffe and three anonymous reviewers for their comments, clarifications, and suggestions. 2. This quotation appears in Section 1 of Smith’s essay on “The History of Astronomy.” Although “The History of Astronomy” was first published in 1795 along with some other writings of Smith, it is more likely than not that Smith first wrote this particular essay during his young adult years prior to his appointment at the University of Glasgow in 1751 (see Luna 1996, 133, 150 n.3).

  • THE HOME of the ROYAL SOCIETY of EDINBURGH Figures Are Not Available
    THE HOME OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH Figures are not available Charles D Waterston The bicentennial history of the Royal Society of Edinburgh1, like previous accounts, was rightly concerned to record the work and achievements of the Society and its Fellows. Although mention is made of the former homes and possessions of the Society, these matters were incidental to the theme of the history which was the advancement of learning and useful knowledge, the chartered objectives of the Society. The subsequent purchases by the Society of its premises at 22–28 George Street, Edinburgh, have revealed a need for some account of these fine buildings and of their contents for the information of Fellows and to enhance the interest of many who will visit them. The furniture so splendidly displayed in 22–24 George Street dates, for the most part, from periods in our history when the Society moved to more spacious premises, or when expansion and refurbishment took place within existing accommodation. In order that these periods of acquisition may be better appreciated it will be helpful to give a brief account of the rooms which it formerly occupied before considering the Society's present home. Having no personal knowledge of furniture, I acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr Ian Gow of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland and Mr David Scarratt, Keeper of Applied Art at the Huntly House Museum of Edinburgh District Council Museum Service for examining the Society's furniture and for allowing me to quote extensively from their expert opinions.
