In the present day, when the science of Heraldry is receiving the attention which it may justly claim, and when, by the labours of such learned and accomplislied writers as Nichols, Seton, Planche, Lower, Boutell, and others, the public mind seems disposed to receive any illus- tration of, or addition to, the knowledge of the " noble science,"' the author feels it to be comparatively an easier task to solicit a favourable reception for his present work than when he presumed to oifer to the public the former " Descriptive Catalogue of Ancient Scottish Seals," of which this volume is a continuation. Notwithstanding these favourable circumstances, however, he cannot but entertain considerable fears and misgivings in again venturing to appear before the public, conscious as he is of many shortcomings, and feeling deeply the disadvantages under which he labours. But he can say, with confidence, that he has made every exertion iu his power, having spared neither time, labour, nor expense, to produce a work eipial in all respects to the former volume, which, he may be allowed to remark, has been acknowledged by a competent authority to be " a valuable ; contribution to Scottish Heraldry " and he will be quite content if the present one shall pnjve equally useful. He lias merely endeavoured to select and gather, from " hidden nooks and corners," materials for the use of more skilful hands, and to such he confidently leaves them. Heraldry and Genealogy, when confined to their legitimate position, and divested of the absurd vagaries and fictions which have exposed them to the ridicule of wits and satirists, are undoubtedly invalualile auxiliaries to history ; and in proportion as the student is acquainted xii PEEFACE. with their principles and practice does he find his interest increased and his hxbours lightened. Nor is it to him alone that the advantage of such knowledge is confined. To all, indeed, who aspire to the distinction of having filled well their j^art in life, it will be found that the desire to " add virtue to their parentage" derives no little support and stimulus from the contemplation of time-honoured, unblemished memorials of those who have preceded them in the race and battle of life. But these truths are now universally admitted, and having been enforced by abler pens, it is unnecessary to insist further on them here. Havino- in the former volume made some remarks on the orijiin and use of seals, it is needless to enlarge on the subject. To those who have studied Heraldry their value is well known ; their importance, in- deed, can hardly be oveixated. In seals we find the trustworthy records of the progress of Heraldry from the earliest periods. It is truly said by a. learned and graceful writer on the subject, in his allusion to Nisbet's estimate of the importance of seals, that " the worthy herald

PAKT I. (Eead 21st April 1880.) GEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE. We,have no evidence of the occurrence of the squirrel in post-tertiary deposits. It is not, I believe, made mention of by Dr James Geikie as being found in post-tertiary deposits in Scotland in his " Great Ice Age." Mr A. Murray, in " The Geographical Distribution of Mammals," tells us : " The only fossil remains of squirrels are of recent date. Remains of the living species of squirrels have been found in bone caves, but nothing indicating its presence in Europe or indeed anywhere else at a more ancient date." Nor does it appear to be of common occurrence even in more recent remains. The only evidence of squirrels in the Pleistocene Shale of Britain is that afforded by gnawed fir-cones in the pre-glacial forest bed of Norfolk, which were recognised by Professor Heer and the late Rev. S. W. King, as I am in¬ formed by Professor Boyd Dawkins, who adds further, that he " does not know of any bones of squirrels in any prehis¬ toric deposit, and I do not think that the nuts (found in marl, etc.) are proved to have been gnawed by them and not by Arvicola amjihitna." I may add here that I have since collected gnawed nuts from various localities and compared them with recent ones, and it seems to me quite impossible to separate them by any evidence afforded by the tooth- marks.

  • Nobility in Middle English Romance
    Nobility in Middle English Romance Marianne A. Fisher A dissertation submitted for the degree of PhD Cardiff University 2013 Summary of Thesis: Postgraduate Research Degrees Student ID Number: 0542351 Title: Miss Surname: Fisher First Names: Marianne Alice School: ENCAP Title of Degree: PhD (English Literature) Full Title of Thesis Nobility in Middle English Romance Student ID Number: 0542351 Summary of Thesis Medieval nobility was a compound and fluid concept, the complexity of which is clearly reflected in the Middle English romances. This dissertation examines fourteen short verse romances, grouped by story-type into three categories. They are: type 1: romances of lost heirs (Degaré, Chevelere Assigne, Sir Perceval of Galles, Lybeaus Desconus, and Octavian); type 2: romances about winning a bride (Floris and Blancheflour, The Erle of Tolous, Sir Eglamour of Artois, Sir Degrevant, and the Amis– Belisaunt plot from Amis and Amiloun); type 3: romances of impoverished knights (Amiloun’s story from Amis and Amiloun, Sir Isumbras, Sir Amadace, Sir Cleges, and Sir Launfal). The analysis is based on contextualized close reading, drawing on the theories of Pierre Bourdieu. The results show that Middle English romance has no standard criteria for defining nobility, but draws on the full range on contemporary opinion; understandings of nobility conflict both between and within texts. Ideological consistency is seldom a priority, and the genre apparently serves neither a single socio-political agenda, nor a single socio-political group. The dominant conception of nobility in each romance is determined by the story-type. Romance type 1 presents nobility as inherent in the blood, type 2 emphasizes prowess and force of will, and type 3 concentrates on virtue.

Apart from the presentation of the simplest facts, the author's intent is to provide accurate information, avoiding the bizarre ideas that color the study of the aristocracy. At best, this web page is a ready reference that offers a quick overview and a very concise bibliography; it is intended as nothing more. This page is published for the benefit of the historian, genealogist, heraldist, researcher or journalist – and all scientific freethinkers – in search of an objective, unbiased summary that does not seek (or presume) to insult their knowledge, intelligence or integrity. The study of the nobility and heraldry simply cannot exist without a sound basis in genealogical science. Genealogy is the only means of demonstrating familial lineage (ancestry), be it proven through documentation or DNA, be it aristocratic or humble. At 300 pages, the book Sicilian Genealogy and Heraldry considers the subject in far greater detail over several chapters, and while its chief focus is the Kingdom of Sicily, it takes into account the Kingdom of Italy (1861-1946) as well. That book includes chapters dedicated to, among other things, historiography, feudal law and proof standards. Like this web page, the book (you can peruse the table of contents, index and a few pages on Amazon's site) is the kind of reference and guide the author wishes were available when he began to study these fields seriously over thirty years ago.

Thanks are due in particular to Fran Woodrow of the John Gray Centre not only for providing the editor with electronic copies of the original letters and generously supplying transcriptions she had previously made of some of them, but also for writing the introduction. IV Editing he letters have been presented in a standardised format. Headers provide Tthe name of the sender and of the recipient, and a number by which each letter can be identified. The salutations and valedictions have been reproduced as they appear in the originals, but the dates when the letters were sent have been standardised and placed immediately after the headers. Due to the time it took for letters from England to reach Scotland, Lord James Ramsay had already sent Lady Susan Hay three before she joined the correspondence. This time lapse, and the fact that thereafter they started writing to each other on a more or less daily basis, makes it impossible to arrange the letters sensibly in order of reply. They have instead been arranged chronologically, with the number of the reply (where it can be identified) added to the notes appended to each letter.

  • THE EARLS of DALHOUSIE WHO WERE ALSO MEMBERS of the MOST ANCIENT and MOST NOBLE ORDER of the THISTLE (From Dennis Hurt and Wayne R
    THE EARLS OF DALHOUSIE WHO WERE ALSO MEMBERS OF THE MOST ANCIENT AND MOST NOBLE ORDER OF THE THISTLE (from Dennis Hurt and Wayne R. Premo) In 2017, Dennis Hurt (Clan member #636) and his Lady Susan, who are avid participants in the Colorado Scottish / Celtic Festivals each year, traveled to the United Kingdom as many of us have over these past decades. While visiting Scotland and particularly Edinburgh, they decided to “take in” St. Giles High Kirk (Kirk meaning Church; or High Kirk meaning Cathedral, in this case) which is located on High Street (The Royal Mile) in Old Town Edinburgh. St. Giles Cathedral or High Kirk of Edinburgh is THE principal place of worship of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh (Wikipedia online). St. Giles High Kirk today – The Royal Mile – Edinburgh While online websites have a great deal of information with photos about St. Giles High Kirk, what is important to this narrative is the fact that the Thistle Chapel, a section therein, was dedicated in 1911 to the Most AnCient anD Most Noble OrDer oF the Thistle, SCotlanD’s Foremost OrDer oF Chivalry. Again from Wikipedia: “The Most AnCient anD Most Noble OrDer oF the Thistle is an order of chivalry associated with Scotland. The current version of the Order was founded in 1687 by King James VII 1 of ScotlanD (James II of England and Ireland) who asserted that he was reviving an earlier Order. The Order consists of the Sovereign and sixteen Knights and Ladies, as well as certain "extra" knights (members of the British Royal Family and foreign monarchs).

    Archives & Special Collections, Columbia University Health Sciences Library Auchincloss Florence Nightingale Collection AUCHINCLOSS, HUGH, 1878-1947, collector. FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE FUND LETTERS, 1848-1898 (bulk 1855-1856) 1 cubic foot (3 boxes) BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Hugh Auchincloss was born Dec. 28, 1878 in New York City. He was educated at Groton, was graduated from Yale in 1901, and received his medical degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S), Columbia University, in 1905. After surgical residencies at Presbyterian and Roosevelt Hospitals in New York, he began a long association with both Presbyterian Hospital and P&S, eventually becoming Chief of the Second Surgical Division of Presbyterian and Professor of Clinical Surgery at P&S. He was best known for his skill in surgery of the hand and of the breast. He died in 1947. Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820, in Florence, Italy to William Edward and Frances Smith Nightingale. Educated at home by her father, she later rejected the traditional role and pursuits of an upper-class Victorian lady to devote herself to nursing reform and public health advocacy. She became an iconic figure in Victorian Britain through her work nursing British troops during the Crimean War (1854-1856). Afterwards, though an invalid for most the rest of her life, Nightingale became an influential voice in government public health policy in late 19th century Britain, especially as it affected India. Nightingale died on August 13, 1910. HISTORICAL NOTE: The Florence Nightingale Fund was created as a result of the work of a group led by author Anna Maria Hall, her husband, journalist Samuel Carter Hall and statesman Sir Sidney Herbert and his wife, writer and prominent social figure Elizabeth Herbert, who in 1855 organized a public subscription to create a testament to Britain’s appreciation Florence Nightingale’s service to the nation during the Crimean War.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth.
