Copyright, 1884, By Roberts Brothers. iz- tfrVj University Press : John Wilson And Son, Cambridgi \y PREFACE. Comparatively little has been written about the life of Mary Wollstonecraft. The two authorities upon the subject are Godwin and Mr. C. Kegan Paul. In writing the following Biography I have relied chiefly upon the Memoir written by the former, and the Life of Godwin and Prefatory Memoir to the Letters to Imlay of the latter. I have endeavored to supplement the facts recorded in these books by a careful analysis of Mary Wollstonecraft's writings and study of the period in which she lived. I must here express my thanks to Mr. Gar- nett, of the British Museum, and to Mr. C. Kegan Paul, for the kind assistance they have given me in my work. To the first named of these gentlemen I am indebted for the loan of a manuscript containing some particulars of Mary Wollstonecraft's last illness which have never yet appeared in print, and to Mr. Paul for the gift, as well as the loan, of several impor- tant books.

  • A Likely Story
    Frank Likely Trust Middle Harbour Yacht Club The Spit, Mosman NSW Australia A LIKELY STORY Frank Likely was unique in that he was a life member of both Middle Harbour Yacht Club and the Yachting Association of New South Wales, an indication of the widespread respect in which he was held. He passed away on 10th November 1990 at the age of 71, his death leaving a gap in the club and the Yachting Association. Every member who sails with MHYC and elsewhere for that matter, owes a great debt to this remarkable man who has done so much for our sport. With Frank, Middle Harbour Yacht Club has a premier place in yachting, not only in NSW but nationally. Frank’s remarkable influence has been throughout the whole gamut of sailing activities, from participation, organisation, safety, training, junior sailing and navigation. Under his direction, courses ran from 1966, preceding the AYF Training Scheme by several years but embracing the scheme on its formation. It was for this work that the Yachting Association awarded Frank Life Membership. By the time of his death, 500 people had attended MHYC ‘Navigation’ courses, both celestial and coastal, 950 ‘Sailing Birds’ in 38 courses, 350 ‘Radio’, 200 ‘Meteorology’, 200 ‘Yachtmasters’, 100 ‘Inshore Skippers’, 140 ‘Diesel Maintenance’ and 50 ‘Yacht Maintenance’. After Frank’s death, a trust was formed to perpetuate his memory in a practical way, largely by making awards to young sailors who would otherwise be unable to continue their sailing. It is a condition of the award that beneficiaries will, in turn, pass on their knowledge to others.

  • Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club
    RICHMOND RIVER SAILING AND ROWING CLUB Newsletter 19th November 2014 Big River - Bridge to Breakers There was no racing at RRRSC last weekend. Instead a lot of sailors headed to Harwood for the Bridge to Breakers event at the Big River Sailing Club. Over 60 Boats hit the water for a great weekend! For those who are yet to attend this regatta, it is a great event with free camping, great food and a good family atmosphere.... and some really fun sailing in a beautiful location. The long race to Iluka and back on saturday was held in a blustery North Easterly. 10-20 knots and bright sunshine. There were some great rides to be had! Overnight (after a great meal) the wind changed and howled in from the south. People scrambled to secure boats and tents before heading to bed for the evening... This meant that the party was cut a little short but the sailors all woke up feeling healthy for a change! Sunday’s racing started late as the wind was a bit late arriving, but we managed to get one race in prior to lunch and another two after lunch. After all was said and done, RRRSC Sailors came away with some great results (some would say we dominated!!): 1st Trailerables: Bill Heuchmer and Johnno onboard Reg. 1st Monos: Brendan McKeown and Tom on their NS14 2nd Monos: Kynan and Liam on Dog’s Breakfast in the 49er 3rd Cats: Zac Heuchmer An awesome event and a great way to spend a weekend. If you’re yet to attend this event, don’t miss it next year! Richmond River Sailing and Rowing Club www.richmondriver.yachting.org.au P.O.
