Pictures of the Past PICTURES OF THE PAST. This is a blank page PICTURES OF THE PAST: Memories of Men I have Met and Places I have Seen. BY FRANCIS H, GRUNDY, C.E. GRIFFITH AND FARRAN, WEST CORNER OF ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD, LONDON. 1879. "he rights of Translation and of Reproduction are reserued. I DEDICATE MY BOOK TO THOMAS WARING, ESQ., CIVIL ENGINEER, CARDIFF, IN MEMORY OF MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS OF UNBROKEN FRIENDSHIP. HE PARTICIPATED IN MANY OF THE EARLIER SCENES I DESCRIBE. This is a blank page PREFACE. -.. ...,-............-.. SEATED upon a fallen monarch of the wilds of Northern Australia, discussing a mid-day meal of bush tea and damper, I thought that a few pictures of my past might amuse, and haply instruct, some of my immediate descendants. Taking my ' field book,' I began at once. It was not until many a day thereafter that I first had an idea of seeing my name in print. But cue sara sara, and my book has grown into a sort of Autobiography, extending over some twenty - six years in England, and a score more elsewhere. The English recollections may be sometimes a little indefinite as to dates, but, I think, not so as to facts. Those of Australia hardly profess to be more than relations of sometime circumstances. All are my own, save that one sent to me by my old friend J. H-. For the arrangement of this, my first attempt, I am 8 Preface. indebted to the experience of Mr. T. Wemyss Reid, a gentleman whose interest was already engaged upon one of the subjects spoken of by me in this book. I have much to thank him for. I ought to mention, in order to make clear certain passages which might otherwise appear unintelligible, that a few months ago an entirely unlooked-for oppor- tunity presented itself for a visit to England, of which I most gladly availed myself.

S it worth while for one who has done ' not wisely I nor too well' with his life, to tell his tale of `talents wasted, time misspent ?' I have no moral to deduce,— a lifetime should show its own,—nor do I believe in the A spice finem. Never was inference from foregone premises more false than that so constantly insisted upon by old age prosing to 'hot youth.' ' Ah ! so Dick Daredevil's dead at last. I knew he would come to grief. What a fellow he was ! a rollicking, jolly dog, the best company in the world ; how he knocked about, went everywhere, and saw everything ! But he did no good for himself, never 16 Pictures of the Past. had a penny ; and now he's dead—drowned in that collision ! What did he want exploring New Guinea, or helping Garibaldi, or what not ? Ah ! a rolling stone, a rolling stone ! My boys, take example from Hardcash Humdrum. There's a man for you ! Never two days out of London in his life, and worth a quarter of a million of money.' Pooh ! they look at the end only, and the wrong end besides. Look life through, 0 ye self-wise drivellers ! begin at the right end. See Dick—the bold, careless, good- natured Dick—the life of his schoolmates, the leader of his college, the joy of his love, who died young, and first set him roving, although he soon followed it for its own sake. Follow the bearded pioneer in Africa or Australia ; see him overcome difficulties, defy dangers, and add at last one name more to the long list of envied victims to his country's greatness. False, oh, most false is your conclusion ! Dick has lived : Hardcash has but existed. Artemus Ward hits the whole story : ' Did he have a good time when he was here ? ' Verily, I fear I should act no better were my time to come over again, unless, indeed, I were to put money in my purse. A good deal might have been done during the railway mania of '45 and '46, and in cotton in '58 to '6o, in that way. I was born, doubtless, but I do not know where, for at the period of my advent, we—that is, my parents— were living in two places at once—a house in Man- chester and a cottage in Cheshire, and I do not know in which of them my birth took place. Birth of the Author. My mother, when I was about fourteen, took me to her room, and, opening a wardrobe, told me that I was now old enough to keep my certificate of—scmething or other. Little she knew about it. I never was able to keep anything—unless a lady's secret, perhaps.

It argues that the biopic is a necessary category because producers, reviewers and cinemagoers have significant investments in biographical subjects, and because biopics construct a ‘public history’ for a broad audience.

Before being given up to public pleasure and instruction, this demesne was a royal country seat, specially favoured by George III. That homely King had two houses here and began to build a more pretentious palace, a design cut short by his infirmities, but for which Kew might have usurped the place of Windsor.

    1 Becoming Gentlemen: Women Writers, Masculinity, and War, 1778-1818. Submitted by Megan Woodworth, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, October 2008. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. .......................................... (signature) 2 Abstract In Letters to a Young Man (1801) Jane West states that “no character is so difficult to invent or support as that of a gentleman” (74). The invention of that character, determining what qualities, qualifications, and behaviour befits a gentleman, preoccupied writers and thinkers throughout the eighteenth century. This thesis traces the evolution of the masculine ideals – chivalry, republican virtue, professional merit – that informed what it meant to be a gentleman. Because gentlemanliness had implications for citizenship and political rights, Defoe, Richardson, Rousseau, and the other men who sought to define gentlemanliness increasingly connected it and citizenship to gendered virtue rather than socio-economic status. Women writers were equally concerned with the developing gentlemanly ideal and, as I will show, its political implications. This thesis brings together masculinity studies and feminist literary history, but also combines the gendered social history that often frames studies of women’s writing with the political and military history traditionally associated with men.

  • A Queen of Indiscretions
    A QUEEN OF INDISCRETIONS THE TRAGEDY OF CAROLINE OF BRUNSWICK QUEEN OF ENGLAND TRANSLATED BY FREDERIC CHAPMAN FROM THE ITALIAN OF GRAZIANO PAOLO CLERICI LONDON JOHN LANE THE BODLEY HEAD NEW YORK JOHN LANE COMPANY MDCCCCVII PLYMOUTH WILLIAM BRENDON AND SON, LIMITED PRINTERS THIS TRANSLATION IS INSCRIBED TO THE PLEASANT MEMORY OF THE CONTE VINCENZO FERRERO DANTE SCHOLAR AND POET AN OLD MAN WITH THE HEART OF A LITTLE CHILD UNDER WHOSE KINDLY GUIDANCE I MADE MY FIRST HALTING EXCURSIONS INTO THE LINGUA TOSCANA INTRODUCTION “TRADUTTORE traditore” is an Italian proverb—one of the few that have been so incorporated into the English language as to be invariably given in the original—which must inevitably force itself upon the recollection of whosoever essays to present an English version of a foreign book. In offering such a version of Il più lungo scandalo del secolo xix, by Signor Graziano Paolo Clerici, a distinguished professor in the University of Parma, the translator can only hope that he may not have exemplified the proverb too emphatically. The protracted scandal referred to is the long and embittered struggle between Caroline, born Princess of Brunswick- Wolfenbüttel and successively Princess of Wales and Queen of England, and George, Prince of Wales, subsequently Prince Regent and King George IV. Professor Clerici has, by minute research into Italian records, both in public departments and in private ownership, reconstructed the life of the Princess during the momentous six years, 1814-20, which preceded her succession to the dignity of Queen, years which were, except for the time occupied in a voyage to the East, spent in different parts of Italy.
