MDDELL, C.B. " • 1TITH PORTRAIT NEW YORK P. DUTTON AND COMPANY 1 1911 n.\o$\ Z. 57.5 < TO MY SISTER G. F. E. S. PREFACE The following pages contain, as may be inferred from the title, the story of an ordinary life. As regards the biographical part of the book, it deals mainly with the surface of things, touching but slightly on the graver thoughts and emotions which may give to the most commonplace biography the value of a "human document." Many persons will think that a record so trivial is not worth publishing. But there is undoubtedly a considerable class who may be amused and even interested by any memoir honestly written, and it is among these that I hope to find some readers. Numerous as are the autobiographies of " ordinary mortals," they generally depend more on anecdotes and " persons I have seen " than on the actual life-stories of the writers, which are often sketchily handled. I have ventured, therefore, to think that the events of the life of an ordinary member of Society more fully treated might possess a certain value of their own, even if a small one ; and would perhaps some day acquire a positive interest when the Society in which they arose has ceased to exist. Nor have I omitted the usual seasoning of anecdotes and glimpses of celebrities when such have come in my way. So, instead of making more excuses, I will ask the goodwill of my fellow " ordinary mortals " for my adventure, and their indulgence for the inaccuracies viii PREFACE which must creep into a book parts of which depend so much upon memory. In conclusion, I must acknowledge the kindness of Mr. William Blackwood, of Messrs. Macmillan & Co., and of the Editor of the National Review, in allowing me to quote from articles written for their magazines, and of Sir Edward Poynter, P.R.A., for permitting the reproduction of his excellent drawing as a frontispiece.

  • Caroline Kipling
    The Rees and Carrington Extracts From the diaries of ` Caroline Kipling 1910 1910 Jan. Engelberg. No entries till John leaves for school with Ellen, 26 Jan. Their first week at Engelberg (they left Bateman’s on 30 December 1909) was not much fun: Carrie had been ill at home – it had been a very wet autumn – and remained ill for at least the first week of their stay at Engelberg. Kipling wrote to his mother-in-law describing their tribulations (PINNEY, Letters, Vol. 3, p. 404-5). Ellen was evidently one of the maids at Bateman’s. LYCETT, (p. 404) lists a maid named Ellen among the Bateman’s staff who attended a parish memorial service for King Edward VII later that summer. It must have been quite an adventure for her to travel out to Switzerland at her employer’s expense, and something of a responsibility to take charge of his 12-year-old son to take back to England, though John was quite a seasoned traveller. Jan. The only entry between December 19h 1909 and February 20th 1910 is on Jan. 26 stating that John left for school with Ellen. Letters, however show that the Ks left home for Engelberg on 30 Dec. `09. 16 Feb. (An allusion to the Baldwins – with them.) There’s a further confirmation of the presence of the Baldwins at Engelberg in the letter to John cited immediately below. 26 Feb. To Geneva. Saw Mr . Feb. 26 Leave Engelberg 10 a.m. Arrive Geneva 7.30 p.m. They were on the first leg of a long cross-country journey from Engelberg to Vernet-les-Bains (see below).

  • Gb 1472 Ecr60
    Introduction The records listed in this volume are what might be described as central records of the College – the minute books, the registers, the statutes and similar material, generated directly by the Provost and Fellows and the New Governing Body. There are, however, equally central records listed elsewhere. The Foundation and Consolidation Charters, and other royal charters, were listed by Noel Blakiston as ECR 39. He included other central records, particularly relating to the building of the College, in ECR 38 and ECR 49. Accounting records to 1642, including the audit rolls up to 1505, when they were replaced by books, are listed as ECR 61 and later accounting records as ECR 62. Papers produced by individual Provosts, Vice-Provosts and Fellows (though there are very few of this last category) will be found as COLL/P, COLL/VP or COLL/FELL as appropriate. The papers of officers such as the Bursar (COLL/B), Registrar(COLL/REG) and other College servants are also separately listed. The catalogue of the College’s archives (now COLL/ARCH/1) compiled in 1724 by Thomas Martin (1697 – 1771) mentions the central records that existed at the time but does not list them individually. Binding, indexing and annotation of the registers in particular show clearly that their importance and value were recognised. Seal books, minute books and lease books were also carefully preserved. However, unbound papers were less well served by a storage system that was essentially organised by estate and were allowed to accumulate in considerable confusion until very roughly sorted by Noel Blakiston into boxes covering ten year periods.

It would not have been possible without the generous assistance of the libraries and archives I visited, in both the United States and the United Kingdom. However, without the support of the history department and Florida State University, I would not have been able to complete the project. My advisor, Charles Upchurch encouraged me to broaden my understanding of the British Empire, which led to my decision to study Charles Gordon. Dr. Upchurch‘s constant urging for me to push my writing and theoretical understanding of imperialism further, led to a much stronger dissertation than I could have ever produced on my own.
