  • THE BRITISH ARMY in the LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 By
    ‘FAIRLY OUT-GENERALLED AND DISGRACEFULLY BEATEN’: THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 by ANDREW ROBERT LIMM A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY. University of Birmingham School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law October, 2014. University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The history of the British Army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is generally associated with stories of British military victory and the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington. An intrinsic aspect of the historiography is the argument that, following British defeat in the Low Countries in 1795, the Army was transformed by the military reforms of His Royal Highness, Frederick Duke of York. This thesis provides a critical appraisal of the reform process with reference to the organisation, structure, ethos and learning capabilities of the British Army and evaluates the impact of the reforms upon British military performance in the Low Countries, in the period 1793 to 1814, via a series of narrative reconstructions. This thesis directly challenges the transformation argument and provides a re-evaluation of British military competency in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

  • Lady Mary, Countess of Caithness, Interceding with Middleton for Permission to Remove Her Father’S Head
    Lady Mary, Countess of Caithness, interceding with Middleton for permission to remove her Father’s Head. PREFACE In collecting materials for “The Martyrs of the Bass,” published some time ago in a volume entitled “The Bass Rock,” it occurred to the author, from the various notices he met with of Ladies who were distinguished for their patriotic interest or sufferings in the cause of nonconformity, during the period of the Covenant, and particular- ly, during the period of the persecution, that sketches of the most eminent or best known of these ladies would be neither uninteresting nor unedifying. In undertaking such a work at this distance of time, he is aware of the disadvantage under which he labours, from the poverty of the materials at his disposal, compared with the more abundant store from which a contemporary writer might have executed the same task. He, however, flatters him- self that the materials which, with some industry, he has collected, are not unworthy of being brought to light; the more especially as the female biography of the days of the Covenant, and of the persecution, is a field which has been trodden by no preceding writer, and which may, therefore, be presumed to have something of the fresh- ness of novelty. The facts of these Lives have been gathered from a widely-scattered variety of authorities, both manuscript and printed. From the voluminous Manuscript Records of the Privy Council, deposited in her Majesty’s General Register House, Edinburgh, and from the Wodrow MSS., belonging to the Library of the Faculty of Advocates, Edinburgh, the author has derived much assistance.The former of these documents he was obligingly permitted to consult by William Pitt Dundas, Esq., Depute-Clerk of her Majesty’s Register House.

Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

    Property in Care (PIC) no :PIC222 Designations: Listed Building (LB48224) Taken into State care: 1906 (Ownership) Last reviewed: 2012 HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE EDINBURGH CASTLE – NEW BARRACKS We continually revise our Statements of Significance, so they may vary in length, format and level of detail. While every effort is made to keep them up to date, they should not be considered a definitive or final assessment of our properties. Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH EDINBURGH CASTLE – NEW BARRACKS BRIEF DESCRIPTION The New Barracks is by far the largest single structure in the castle. The six- storey building was constructed in 1796–99, during the French Revolutionary Wars, to house a field battalion (over 600 officers and men). The vast structure was almost universally disliked from the outset, Sir Walter Scott describing it as resembling ‘a vulgar cotton mill’. Proposals were produced in the later 19th/early 20th century to reduce its bulk, but the only work carried out, in 1893, was the infilling of the arcade and the construction of the cast-iron verandah along the rear (west) elevation. The New Barracks has remained in Army use throughout its history and today serves a variety of uses, including as headquarters of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, headquarters of the Edinburgh Garrison, office of the Army Benevolent Fund and home of the regimental association and museum of the Royal Scottish Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers and Greys), descended from the nation’s oldest cavalry regiment, the Royal Scots Greys.

  • A Scent of Eternity the Flower Painter JL Jensen
    A scent of eternity The flower painter J.L. Jensen January 21 – August 12, 2018 J.L. Jensen, Opstilling med blomster og frugt, 1836 Landesmuseum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte Oldenburg Blossom-Jensen comes to Nivaa The Nivaagaard Collection opened its doors to a grand exhibition featuring the works of J.L. Jensen (1800-1856), often referred to as ‘Blossom-Jensen’. Jensen was the leading flower painter of the Danish Golden Age. He devoted his entire life and career to depicting lavish bouquets in glowing colours as well as vivid displays of fruits, even though flower painting was traditionally a genre that was looked down on and generally something that female amateur painters occupied themselves with. The exhibition was the first in recent times to feature Blossom-Jensen and the biggest one ever dedicated to the artist. Jensen worked within the international still life (nature morte in French; stilleben in German) tradition, which focuses on paintings of static subjects such as an arrangement of inanimate materials, typically flowers, fruits, food and dead animals. The Danish artist painted all of these, but he is most renowned for his beautiful paintings of flowers in Greek vases, baskets and wreaths lying on a sill or growing on the forest floor. In addition to these are his works of pieces of fruit and his rare kitchen and hunting works, as well as the hitherto unknown porcelain that he – as the head painter at the Royal Porcelain Factory – decorated for King Frederick VI of Denmark’s two daughters. What particularly characterises Jensen’s works is his painstakingly detailed depiction of each flower, piece of fruit or animal and his well-balanced and harmonic compositions, where light flows into the bouquets so that each flower, leaf, bud or stalk is clearly and logically rendered.

Collectively known as the Australian Convict Sites these places tell the story of the colonisation of Australia and the building of a nation. Fremantle Prison is Western Australia’s most important historical site. As a World Heritage Site, Fremantle Prison is recognised as having the same level of cultural significance as other iconic sites such as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Wall of China, or the Historic Centre of Rome. For 136 years between 1855 and 1991 Fremantle Prison was continuously occupied by prisoners. Convicts built the Prison between 1851 and 1859. Initially called the Convict Establishment, Fremantle Prison held male prisoners of the British Government transported to Western Australia. After 1886 Fremantle Prison became the colony’s main place of incarceration for men, women and juveniles. Fremantle Prison itself was finally decommissioned in November 1991 when its male prisoners were transferred to the new maximum security prison at Casuarina. Fremantle Prison was a brutal place of violent punishments such as floggings and hangings.
