[1870. NOTICE IN REFERENCE TO BEQUESTS. A s the kind intentions of some of the deceased friends of the Society have been rendered abortive for want of correct knowledge of the law relating to Charitable Bequests, the Committee call special attention to the following directions:— By Statute 6 Geo. II. cap. 36, commonly called the Mortmain Act, it is enacted, Section 1, that after the 24th June, 1736, “ no manors,lands, tenements, rents, advowsons, or other hereditaments, cor­ poreal or incorporeal, whatsoever; nor any sum or sums of money, goods, chattels, stocks in the public funds, securities for money, or any other personal estate whatsoever, to be laid out or disposed of in the purchase of any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, shall be given, granted, alienated, limited, released, transferred, assigned, or appointed, or any ways conveyed or settled to, or upon, any person or persons, bodies politic or corporate, or otherwise, for any estate or interest whatsoever, or any ways charged or incumbered by any person or persons whatsoever in trust, or for the benefit of any charitable uses whatsoever, u n l e s s such gift, conveyance, appointment, or settlement of any such lands, tenements, or hereditaments, sum or sums of money, or personal estates (other than stocks in the public funds) be, and be made by d e e d , indented, sealed an'I delivered, in the presence o f two or more credible witnesses, twelve calendar months at least b e f o r e t h e d e a t h of such donor or grantor (including the days of the execution and death), and be. enrolled in Bis Majesty's High Court o f Chancery, within six calendar months next after the execution thereof; a n d u n l e s s such s t o c k s be transferred in the public books usually keptfor the transfer of stock, six calendar months at least before the death of such donor or grantor (including the days of the transfer and death), a n d u n l e s s the same be made to take effect in p o s s e s ­ s i o n for the charitable uses intended immediately from the making thereof; a n d b f. w i t h o u t any power of revocation, reservation, trust, condition, limitation clause or agreement whatsoever, for the benefit of the donor or grantor, or any person or persons claiming under him." The third section of the statute enacts “ That all gifts, grants, conveyances, appointments, assurances, transfers, and settlements whatsoever, of any lands tenements, or other hereditaments, or of any estate or interest therein, or of any charge or incumbrance affecting or to affect any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, or of any stock, money, goods, chattels, or other personal estate, or securities for money to be laid our. or disposed of in the purchase of any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, or of any estate or interest therein, or of any charge or incumbrance affecting, or to affect, the same to. or in trust for, any charitable uses whatsoever, which shall at any time from and after the 24th June, 1736, be made in any other form than by this Act is directed and appointed, shall be a b s o l u t e l y , and to all intents and purposes, n u l l a n d v o i d .” Upon these enactments it may be observed:— 1st. That the Baptist Missionary Society is a Charitable Institution, within the meaning of this Act. 2ndly. Land, money arising ont of land, or money secured on land wholly or partly, and whether freehold or leasehold, can be given to a charity only by deed in manner directed by the statute. 3rdly. Not only cannot a will pass to a charity any property of the above description, but no money- legacy given to a charity can be satisfied out of such property. If, therefore, a testator has only land, mortgages, rent-charges, debentures, or securities on land, the legacy will fail altogether; if his estate be mixed it will fail to the extent of the proportion of this property to pure personalty. I f A . having £ 1 ,5 0 0 ; namely. £500 at his bankers, and £1,000 on mortgage, gives JB100 to a charity, the bequest will only be worth £33 6i. 8<Z. Railway and canal shares are pure personalty, and may be used to satisfy a charitable legacy, but not railway debentures. By 1 Vic. cap. 26, sec. 9, it is further enacted, “ That no will shall be valid, unless it shall be in writing, and executed in manner hereinafter mentioned (that is to say): it shall be signed at the foot or end thereof by the Testator, or by some other person in his presence or by his direction: and such signa­ ture shall be made or acknowledged by the Testator in the presence of two or more Witnesses present at the same time; and such Witnesses shall attest and shall subscribe the will in the presence of the Testator; but no Form of Attestation shall be necessary.” N .B.— Wills executed prior to the first day of January, 1838, are not affected by this act; but any alteration therein, or codicil thereto, must be executed in the manner before mentioned. The following Form of Bequest may be safely adopted by those who wish to bequeath such property as may be left by will for this purpose:— FORM OF BEQUEST. I give to the Treasurer or Treasurers fer the time being, of the Baptist Missionary Society, the sum of £ sterling, to be paid exclmively out of such parts o f my personal estate, not specifically bequeathed, as may lawfully be given by will to charity, and not to abate unless there should be no other fund for the payment in full of my oth legacies, and in such case only rateably with my other pecuniary or general legacies. I f any friends wish to bequeath property for Translations or Schools, it is only necessary to say instead of the General Fund, the Translation Fund, or the School Fund. It is proper to observe, that the above restrictive statute does not extend to Scotland, Ireland, or the Colonies. 1870.] SEVENTY-EIGHTH REPORT. V COMMITTEE AND OFFICERS. 1870- 71.____ f e a s u m .

  • How Chinese Internet Celebrity Influences Consumer Attitude to Purchase on E-Commerce
    How Chinese Internet Celebrity Influences consumer attitude to purchase on E-commerce In the case of internet fashion celebrity Dayi Zhang Master’s Thesis 15 credits Department of Business Studies Uppsala University Spring Semester of 2019 Date of Submission: 2019-06-05 Ying Li Qian Cai Supervisor: Pao Kao Abstract Problem/Purpose: Internet celebrities have shown huge commercial value by operating their E-commerce in the Chinese market. This article aims to research How Chinese internet celebrity influences consumers’ attitude to purchase on E-commerce. Method: The Primary data is collected by semi-structured interviews with consumers who followed the internet celebrity and bought products from her online stores. Meanwhile, word frequency analysis of posted context and comments on the internet is proceeded to conduct secondary data to support findings. Findings: Our findings show that the traditional source attractiveness, expertise, and involvement of celebrity are important to impact on the consumers’ attitude and drive to purchase behavior. However, source trustworthiness is not essential, and the perceived trustworthiness is limited in specialized fields (e.g. fashion) and is hard extend to other areas (e.g. cosmetics). Furthermore, perceived authenticity will reinforce trustworthiness and intimacy, and perceived interconnectedness will result in frequent and regular buying habit. Implementation: This research can serve to internet celebrities who are running or intend to start their E-commerce in China. Moreover, it is hoped this study of internet celebrity E- commerce in China can serve for future comparative studies of internet celebrity globally. Keywords: Internet celebrity, Source credibility, Consumer attitude, Purchase intention Table of contents 1.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • Musical Projects Against Violence in Northern Colombia
    ! ! ! ! ! TRUST IN MUSIC: MUSICAL PROJECTS AGAINST VIOLENCE IN NORTHERN COLOMBIA BY IAN THOMAS MIDDLETON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus Thomas Turino, Chair Professor Gabriel Solis Assistant Professor Michael Silvers Associate Professor Marc Hertzman Abstract Colombia's protracted civil war is characterized by cycles of pervasive distrust and violence. The people I work with are involved in projects across the north of the country aimed in part at breaking these cycles. In this dissertation I offer an applied ethnographic analysis of the dynamic relations between local forms of trusting, music making and (non)violence. While I recognize music's impact is sometimes minimal or negative, I focus on projects with demonstrable positive impact as part of my commitment to the struggles of my interlocutors. My account is comparative, describing individuals and groups from different towns, sub regions, and positionalities within the conflict, and engaging with similar but contrasting musical styles and projects. I show that musical practices in which participants aim to maximize the breadth of participation (the number of people engaged) tend to foster thin trusting across a broad radius of people, whereas musical practices aimed at the maximum depth of experience of a reduced number of performers tend to generate thick trusting among reduced pools of people. Peacebuilding requires both thin and thick trusting, but the latter can preclude broad organization. I consider festivalization of the musical practices I describe as a means of constructing a parallel peace.
