(Late a Captain of Light Infantry in the British Service.) “ ’Twas here that Wellesley’s heroic soul was prov’d, “ Meeting the tyrant’s various hosts unmov’d : “ Through all his ranks, supporting them afar, “ He calmly view’d the scenes of bleeding war; u His holy eye the slaughter’d field survey’d, “ And sent to dying columns timely aid; “ Rallied repuls’d battalions to engage, “ And led where’er the soul of war should rage.” —“ We shall close our critique upon this elegant poem, which “ the classic author must consider very favourable, as we deem “ ‘ Salamanca’ possessing all the powers of Poetry, descriptive, “ narrative, and epic; in competition to the ‘ Blenheim ’ of our “ illustrious Addison.” Vide the Reviews, and “ Town Talk,'> for December 1812.

ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE, The noble share of glory sustained by your Royal Highness, and the brave Belgian Soldiers, in the unparalleled achievement at “ Waterloo,” gives me the honour to dedicate to your Royal Highness this re- cord of the lustre of our immortal and beloved Welling- ton, and the prowess of his Grace’s invincible Compa- triots in arms.

AUTHOK OF “ SALAMANCA:” THE SUDBURIAD; or, POEMS FROM THE COTTAGE “LETTERS FROM NORTH AMERICA;” &c. &c. Sec. “ We have perfect pleasure in congratulating a retired officer on the Illustrious Patronage which fosters his Muse. The subject glows with the “ enthusiasm of a Soldier, who, as he says in his Poem on ‘ Salamanca,’ “ is inspired by the theme of glory :— « Shall he, whose Godlike vict’ries far exceed “ The boasted glory of the Greek and Swede : « Who, more than Cjesar, with a brighter ray, “ Ascends, and shines Imperial France away; « Shall he, through ages spread his mighty name, “ Without a Muse to wait upon his fame ? « Has Britain lost her spirit, soul, and fire, « Has she no Patriot left to touch the lyre ? « Yes! while I live, such deeds shall loud resound, “ And claim just tribute from the world around. « What though I mingle with the peerless throng, « The least, most careless, of the sons of song; “ Thy Godlike deeds shall bid my soul to glow, “ My pulse to kindle, and my veins to flow; « Exalt my spirit, animate my line, , “ And aid my numbers with the strength of Nine. “ The Poem is beautifully descriptive, and highly complimentary to the “ Continental heroes. We particularly admire the Author’s elegant pane- “ gyric on the Illustrious Wellington.” Vide “ The Critical Review”/or September 1814. * * A few Copies of the third Edition of this Poem remain with the Author, at One Guinea each Copy.

The Father of the House in the current (2019) Parliament is Sir Peter Bottomley, who was first elected to the House in a by-election in 1975. Under Standing Order No 1, as long as the Father of the House is not a Minister, he takes the Chair when the House elects a Speaker. He has no other formal duties. There is evidence of the title having been used in the 18th century. However, the origin of the term is not clear and it is likely that different qualifications were used in the past. The Father of the House is not necessarily the oldest Member.

    BRITISH REACTION TO THE SEPOY MUTINY, 1857-1858 APPROVED: Major /Professor mor Frotessar of History Dean' ot the GraduatGradua' e ScHooT* BRITISH REACTION TO THE SEPOY MUTINY, 1857-185S THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Samuel Shafeeq Denton, Texas August, 1970 PREFACE English and Indian historians have devoted considerable research and analysis to the genesis of the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 but have ignored contemporary British reaction to it, a neglect which this study attempts to satisfy. After the initial, spontaneous, condemnation of Sepoy atrocities, Queen Victoria, her Parliament, and subjects took a more rational and constructive attitude toward the insurrection in India, which stemmed primarily from British interference in Indian religious and social customs, symbolized by the cartridge issue. Englishmen demanded reform, and Parliament-- at once anxious to please the electorate and to preserve the valuable colony of India--complied within a year, although the Commons defeated the first two Indian bills, because of the interposition of other foreign and domestic problems. But John Bright, Lord Edward Stanley, William Gladstone, Benjamin Disraeli, and their friends joined forces to pass the third Indian bill, which became law on August 2, 1858. For this study, the most useful primary sources are Parliamentary Debates. Journals of the House of Commons and Lords, British and Foreign State' Papers, English Historical Queen Victoria's Letters , and the Annual' Re'g'i'st'er. Of the few secondary works which focus on British reac- tion to the Sepoy Mutiny, Anthony Wood's Nineteenth Centirr/ Britain, 1815-1914 gives a good account of British politics after the Mutiny.

  • Parish of Skipton*
    294 HISTORY OF CRAVEN. PARISH OF SKIPTON* HAVE reserved for this parish, the most interesting part of my subject, a place in Wharfdale, in order to deduce the honour and fee of Skipton from Bolton, to which it originally belonged. In the later Saxon times Bodeltone, or Botltunef (the town of the principal mansion), was the property of Earl Edwin, whose large possessions in the North were among the last estates in the kingdom which, after the Conquest, were permitted to remain in the hands of their former owners. This nobleman was son of Leofwine, and brother of Leofric, Earls of Mercia.J It is somewhat remarkable that after the forfeiture the posterity of this family, in the second generation, became possessed of these estates again by the marriage of William de Meschines with Cecilia de Romille. This will be proved by the following table:— •——————————;——————————iLeofwine Earl of Mercia§=j=......... Leofric §=Godiva Norman. Edwin, the Edwinus Comes of Ermenilda=Ricardus de Abrineis cognom. Domesday. Goz. I———— Matilda=.. —————— I Ranulph de Meschines, Earl of Chester, William de Meschines=Cecilia, daughter and heir of Robert Romille, ob. 1129. Lord of Skipton. But it was before the Domesday Survey that this nobleman had incurred the forfeiture; and his lands in Craven are accordingly surveyed under the head of TERRA REGIS. All these, consisting of LXXVII carucates, lay waste, having never recovered from the Danish ravages. Of these-— [* The parish is situated partly in the wapontake of Staincliffe and partly in Claro, and comprises the townships of Skipton, Barden, Beamsley, Bolton Abbey, Draughton, Embsay-with-Eastby, Haltoneast-with-Bolton, and Hazlewood- with-Storithes ; and contains an area of 24,7893.

The subject of this paper* affects an object of high monu- mental art in the county of Hants, hitherto left undescribed by the local historian, although attention was called to it on. the occasion of a visit to Titchfield by the members of the Hampshire Field Club (May 24th, 1888), when Mr. Shore gave an admirable account of. the' Wriothesley family, their territorial possessions in this county, and their last resting place-. Lord 'Bacon, in his work " On the Advancement of Learning,." when referring to the Study, of. Antiquities, or Remnants of History, includes "Monuments as saving and recovering spmewhat from the Deluge of Time," and the late John Gough Nichols observes that memoranda •of.Epitaphs and Heraldry in churches' have always been :; highly estimated by genealogists and biographers, the pro- . fessional heralds deeming such evidences among their most _ reliable materials. With regard to the sepulchral monument of the Wriothesley family in Titchfield church, it is a remarkable and interesting fact that, in Midhurst church, Sussex, Sir Anthony Browne, first Viscount "Montague, erected an alabaster tomb for . himself and his two wives, which was a replica of that at Titchfield, in style, dimensions, and materials of construction. •- * Read at a meeting of the Southampton Literary and Philosophical Society, October 15th, 1888, 66 - "The wife of Henry, second Earl of Southampton1 the founder of the Wriothesley monument, was eldest daughter of this Viscount Montague and mother of Henry, third Earl.

The committee has met over the past year and one-half and a large part of the data was obtained from the abstracts of the town records which were kept by Augustus Leavitt, Harry S. Kelley's history notes written in 1927 for the 200th anniversary and from the only sizable printed history of Chichester written by D. T. Brown in Hurd's History of Merrimack and Belknap Counties containing thirty seven pages. In researching we found that a whole generation is missing. It is regrettable that a history wasn't done before now when much that is now lost was within the mem- ory of some living who had the knowledge of our early history. Our thanks to the townspeople who have contributed either information, pic- tures, maps and written reports. It is our hope that the contents will be interesting and helpful to this and future generations. The Chichester History Committee Rev. H. Franklin Parker June E. Hatch Ruth E.
