RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM (Abridged from the memoir by his son) RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM was born on December 6, 1788, in Canterbury, were his family had for many generations resided. His father, dying in 1795, bequeathed a moderate estate to his only son, then about five or six years of age. A portion of this property consisted of the manor known as Tappington, or Tapton Wood, so often alluded to in The Ingoldsby Legends. The boy was sent to St. Paul's School, of which he was for two years 'captain.' He then entered at nineteen as a gentleman commoner at Brazenose College, and was speedily elected a member of the well-known Phoenix Common Room, at that time one of the 'crack' university clubs. Here he found a kindred spirit in the gay and gifted Lord George Grenville (afterwards Lord Nugent). Here, too, be was again thrown into contact with one whom he had known in earlier days, Cecil Tattersall, the friend of Shelley and Lord Byron, and, like most of that misguided party, but too well known by his abused talents and melancholy end. And here also his intimacy with Theodore Hook took rise. College life, more especially at that day, was likely to present numerous and sore temptations to one who was overflowing with good-nature and high spirits, and whose early loss had not only placed a perilous abundance of funds at his disposal, but also left him utterly

I initially considered that being so close to members of the band for years that have spanned from before Pagan Altar was formed to the present day would not make me objective enough in my approach. Having been an ex-drummer with the band, in fact the first, an association that I am extremely proud of, I suppose my natural tendencies and inclinations would lean towards looking at the band through rose coloured glasses. I have therefore tried to observe and analyse the whole situation from a totally detached viewpoint, but human nature being what it is, some of my own opinions and observations have probably crept in and become incorporated within some of the analytical assumptions. I have refrained from mentioning myself in the Bio, this is not due to any pretence at a misguided view of modesty that I might have but because I genuinely feel that any major achievements made by the band were after my departure.

Martineau, who had died the previous year, had published numerous sketches of the recently dead for the Daily News between 1852 and 1863, many of which were collected in Biographical Sketches (1869).1 For Morley, these were “masterpieces in the style of the vignette. Their conciseness, their clearness in fact, their definiteness in judgment, and above all the rightly-graduated impression of the writer’s own personality in the background, make them perfect in their kind.”2 In reviewing Martineau’s work, Morley was himself writing a biographical sketch, a genre that was widespread in periodical literature by the middle of the nineteenth century. Accounts of recently dead editors and contributors ranged from obituaries and memoirs to reviews of books (especially biographies, memoirs, and autobiographies), but many were simply brief sketches of recent or earlier nineteenth century journalistic figures.

  • EHS NL February 2011
    February 2011 Volume 1, Issue 3 Elham in the Snow There has certainly been an excellent opportunity during the beginning and end of 2010 to go out and snap a few pictures of our lovely village in the snow. Therefore the EHS Committee feel that it would be a good time for you to send us your own favourite photographs that you have taken. They need not be from 2010, in fact the older the better, so here are a few to get you thinking. Ideally we would prefer you to email them to us, making them no bigger than 5 MB in size – Thank You. Elham, March 1909 Elham, Dec 2010 Move to formally become the Elham Historical Society The members of the EHS committee cannot believe that twelve months have gone by since they “volunteered ” to help set up the Elham Historical Study and the sight of over 40 prospective members at the first public meeting in May 2010 was very encouraging. Since then we have gone from strength to strength and now have over 80 members, therefore your committee are keen to ensure the ongoing success of the group. From the outset it has always been the aim of the committee to seek to formally become a society and with the upcoming first birthday event in April of this year we feel that the time is right for that move. We have now drafted a constitution and have determined a small number of elected roles so that members can vote for their favoured candidate at the April meeting.

  • “Messengers of Justice and of Wrath”: the Captivity
    ―Messengers of Justice and of Wrath‖: The Captivity-Revenge Cycle in the American Frontier Romance A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Brian P. Elliott June 2011 © 2011 Brian P. Elliott. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled ―Messengers of Justice and of Wrath‖: The Captivity-Revenge Cycle in the American Frontier Romance by BRIAN P. ELLIOTT has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Paul C. Jones Associate Professor of English Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT ELLIOTT, BRIAN P., Ph.D., June 2011, English ―Messengers of Justice and of Wrath‖: The Captivity-Revenge Cycle in the American Frontier Romance Director of Dissertation: Paul C. Jones This project explores the central importance of captivity and revenge to four novels in the genre of frontier romance: Charles Brockden Brown‘s Edgar Huntly (1799), James Fenimore Cooper‘s Last of the Mohicans (1826), Catharine Maria Sedgwick‘s Hope Leslie (1827), and Robert Montgomery Bird‘s Nick of the Woods (1837). Although a fundamental plot aspect of nearly every work in the genre, the threat of captivity and the necessity of revenge are rarely approached as topics of inquiry, despite their deep connection to the structure and action of the texts. Perhaps most importantly, as critics Jeremy Engels and Greg Goodale note, these twin tropes serve as a way of unifying disparate social groups and creating order; in essence, such depictions function as a form of what Michel Foucault terms ―governmentality,‖ logics of control that originate from non-governmental sources but promote systems of governance.

  • The Jurats of Maidstone, 1549 -1660
    KENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY ON-LINE e-BOOK For the Good of This Town: The Jurats of Maidstone, 1549 -1660 Judy Buckley Photograph of 1640 memorial in All Saints Church by the Author Text 2009 ©Judy Buckley Foreword You shall True Faith bear to our Sovereign Lady, the Queen's Majesty that now is, Her Heirs and Successors, Kings and Queens of this realm. You shall have that regard and respect unto the Mayor that governeth this Town and Parish for the time being as is fit. And the lawful Franchises, Usages and Customs of the same Town and Parish, advance and maintain to the utmost of your power. And the same (as much as in you is) from unlawful grievance and damage shall keep. And as a Freeman of this Town and Parish, you shall bear yourself for the good of this Town, as it is fit and convenient. So help you God. Amen The freeman's oath, anciently administered in Maidstone. (Gilbert, Antiquities, 1865, p.126) This book is about the mayors and other jurats (aldermen) who led Maidstone from the granting of the first Borough Charter by Edward VI in 1549 until the end of the Commonwealth and the Restoration of Charles I in 1660. The period has been chosen to match Chapter III of The History of Maidstone (1995) by Peter Clark and Lynn Murfin. In that chapter they covered all aspects of Maidstone life, but this study will focus on the closely knit group of ninety seven men chosen by the common council - a traditional Tudor oligarchy - who influenced Maidstone during those years.
