Melasina Trench had been born on March 22, 1768, in Dublin, and had been brought up by her grandfather, Richard Chenevix Trench, Bishop of Waterford. In 1786 she had married with Colonel Richard St. George, who then died in Portugal. Beginning to travel through Europe in 1798, she had met, among others, Nelson, Lady Hamilton, and President John Quincy Adams. In 1803 she remarried in Paris, with Richard Trench of Moate, County Galway. Her husband being detained in France, in 1895 Melasina personally delivered a petition to Napoléon. Her husband was released in 1807. Her poems would all be issued anonymously and she would die at Malvern, Herefordshire, on May 27, 1827. Her letters and journals would be edited by her son Richard, in 1862, as REMAINS. After four days of bombardment of Copenhagen, a British naval force captured the Danish fleet. Most of the city had been destroyed. British forces occupied Heligoland. DATE: Richard Chenevix Trench was educated at Harrow School. 1. Some sources say he was born on September 5, 1807 in Dublin, some that he was born on September 9, 1807 in Dublin, some that he was born on December 30, 1807 in Dublin.

If Henry Thoreau failed to study this monograph, surely he should have! The aim of this author was to reveal to all that importantly, “language is a transcript not only of nature material in her visible and tangible properties ... but also of her powers and energies.” Despite the inescapable fact that much of the etymology found in these pages is merely tendentious and entirely wrongheaded, this had been intended by its author to constitute nothing less than a study of the “economy of language.” Is there any anticipation here, of Henry Thoreau’s fascination with the natural forms of sand flows in the Deep Cut along the railroad leading to Walden Pond, during an early spring thaw?

INDEX RICHARD CHENEVIX TRENCH RICHARD CHENEVIX TRENCH 1851 The Reverend Richard Chenevix Trench’s series of five lectures, “Language as an Instrument of Knowledge,” delivered at Winchester from February 1845 into 1846, became a book ON THE STUDY OF WORDS.2 He proposed that even when one considers words singly, they contain “boundless stores of moral and historic truth, and no less of passion and imagination laid up.” This singular study, by the person who more than any other inspired the initiation of the Oxford English Dictionary project, would go into 20 editions.3 A language will often be wiser, not merely than the vulgar, but even than the wisest of those who speak it. Being like amber in its efficacy to circulate the electric spirit of truth, it is also like amber in embalming and preserving the relics of ancient truth.... Sometimes it locks up truths, which were once well known, but which, in the course of ages, have passed out of sight and have been forgotten. 2. Refer to Gordon Boudreau’s “Thoreau and Richard C. Trench” in ESQ 20 of 1974, pages 117-24. Gregory Downing has written on James Joyce’s possible use of Trench’s popular books on language in Joyce Studies Annual, 1998, pages 37-68. 3.

Second half of January: During the second half of January, Henry Thoreau would be studying the Reverend Richard Chenevix Trench’s 1851 book ON THE STUDY OF WORDS. January 15th: 9 Am to woods. The starry flakes or crystals, like everything that falls from heaven to earth – have – partially melted–, coalesced & lost their regularity and beauty. A good part of the snow has fallen from the trees. See one or two short trails of meadow mice – apparently they work now under the snow – but when the sun has melted & settled & the cold somewhat consolidated the snow they come out on the surface? As you walk in the woods you hear the rustling sound of limbs & leaves that are relieved of their burden and of the falling snow. Young ever- greens look like statues partially covered with white veils. Saw near Le Grosse’s the 12 ult a shrike. He told me about seeing Uncle Charles once come to Barrett’s mill with logs – leap over the yoke that drew them – and back again– It amused the boys. True words are those – as Trench says – transport – rapture ravishment, ecstasy – these are the words I want. This is the effect of music– I am rapt away by it –out of myself– These are truly poetical words. I am inspired – elevated – expanded– I am on the mount. Mrs Ripley told me this Pm that Russell had decided that that green (& sometimes yellow dust) on the underside of stones in walls was a decaying state of Lepraria chlorina a lichen – the yellow another species of Lepraria. Science suggests the value of mutual intelligence. I have long known this dust – but as I did not know the name of it, i.e. what others called & therefore could not conveniently speak of it– It has suggested less to me & I have made less use of it. I now first feel as if I had got hold of it In Carlisle & Boxboro they go to Church as of old – they are still pagans Pagani – or villagers RICHARD CHENEVIX TRENCH CHARLES JONES DUNBAR Dr. Alfred I. Tauber would feel it possible to extrapolate from the above in arriving at an understanding of Thoreau’s appreciation of the relationship between time and eternity. HDT WHAT? INDEX RICHARD CHENEVIX TRENCH RICHARD CHENEVIX TRENCH January 16, Sunday: André Jules Michelin was born. In the Tabernacle of Great Salt Lake City, Brigham Young discoursed on Salvation: The plan of salvation, or, in other words, the redemption of fallen beings, is a subject that should occupy the attention of all intelligence that pertains to fallen beings. I do not like the term fallen beings, but I will say, subjected intelligence, which term suits me better — subjected to law, order, rule, and government. All intelligences are deeply engaged in this grand object; not, however, having a correct understanding of the true principle thereof, they wander to and fro, some to the right, and some to the left.

    Organizing Knowledge: Comparative Structures of Intersubjectivity in Nineteenth-Century Historical Dictionaries Kelly M. Kistner A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Gary G. Hamilton, Chair Steven Pfaff Katherine Stovel Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Sociology ©Copyright 2014 Kelly M. Kistner University of Washington Abstract Organizing Knowledge: Comparative Structures of Intersubjectivity in Nineteenth-Century Historical Dictionaries Kelly Kistner Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Gary G. Hamilton Sociology Between 1838 and 1857 language scholars throughout Europe were inspired to create a new kind of dictionary. Deemed historical dictionaries, their projects took an unprecedented leap in style and scale from earlier forms of lexicography. These lexicographers each sought to compile historical inventories of their national languages and were inspired by the new scientific approach of comparative philology. For them, this science promised a means to illuminate general processes of social change and variation, as well as the linguistic foundations for cultural and national unity. This study examines two such projects: The German Dictionary, Deutsches Worterbuch, of the Grimm Brothers, and what became the Oxford English Dictionary. Both works utilized collaborative models of large-scale, long-term production, yet the content of the dictionaries would differ in remarkable ways. The German dictionary would be characterized by its lack of definitions of meaning, its eclectic treatment of entries, rich analytical prose, and self- referential discourse; whereas the English dictionary would feature succinct, standardized, and impersonal entries. Using primary source materials, this research investigates why the dictionaries came to differ.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

  • INFORMATION to USERS Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently tacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into die film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of die material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

First, I am indebted to my dissertation chair and advisor, Professor Adriana Craciun, for her thoughtful and generous guidance throughout my graduate career. She has the rare and valuable ability to be both rigorous and kind; while she challenges her students to rise to high expectations, she also helps them to see the value of the process and the worth of their accomplishments. My work would not be what it is today without her, and neither would my sanity. I must also thank Professor Susan Zieger, who has been an invaluable mentor during my time at UCR. She always asks questions that push and expand my work in ways I did not foresee, and encouraged me to publish and get my work out in public when I might have held it back out of anxiety. Professor Robb Hernandez’s conversation and constant good humor were also instrumental to the completion of this dissertation, particularly his encouragement to embrace my identity as “Grave Girl.” Thank you all for seeing value in my work and supporting this dissertation to the end.

  • The Fitness of Scripture: Richard Chenevix Trench and Victorian Doctrines of Scripture
    The Fitness of Scripture: Richard Chenevix Trench and Victorian Doctrines of Scripture by Cole William Hartin A Doctoral Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and the Graduate Centre for Theological Studies of the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theological Studies awarded by Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto. © Copyright by Cole William Hartin 2019 The Fitness of Scripture: Richard Chenevix Trench and Victorian Doctrines of Scripture Cole William Hartin Doctor of Philosophy in Theological Studies Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto 2019 Abstract This thesis outlines Archbishop Richard Chenevix Trench’s theology of Scripture, showing that he reads the Bible distinctively by situating him within the broader Victorian Church of England. Furthermore, it argues that because of the clarity with which Trench apprehends the character of Scripture and the interpretive implications of this, he offers a comprehensive paradigm from which one can articulate a coherent understanding of “the fitness of Holy Scripture for unfolding the spiritual life of men.” I examine Trench’s theology of Scripture by way of comparison with other prominent thinkers in the Church of England during his time. First, Charles Simeon’s devout but unidimensional interpretation, which aims to discover the full range of biblical teaching, is set beside Trench’s layered Christological reading of the text. The next chapter discusses Benjamin Jowett’s attempts to uncover the original meaning and context of each passage of Scripture. Trench’s doctrine of the Holy Spirit’s authorship juxtaposes with Jowett, opening room for a further future unfolding of the meaning inherent in Scripture.

The importance of the papers lies in the enormous range of the correspondents: politicians British and French, writers, artists. Bingham was an MP from 1826 until he succeeded to the peerage, and this, as well as his family of bankers and politicians gave him a wide-ranging acquaintance. Harriet too was deeply interested in politics, and also knew many writers, presiding over a salon and conducting a large correspondence.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Charlotte Forten: Coming of Age as a Radical Teenage Abolitionist, 1854-1856 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Kristen Hillaire Glasgow 2019 © Copyright by Kristen Hillaire Glasgow 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Charlotte Forten: Coming of Age as a Radical Teenage Abolitionist, 1854-1856 by Kristen Hillaire Glasgow Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Brenda Stevenson, Chair In 1854, Charlotte Forten, a free teenager of color from Philadelphia, was sent by her family to Salem, Massachusetts. She was fifteen years old. Charlotte was relocated to obtain an education worthy of the teenager’s socio-elite background. The 1850 Fugitive Slave Law had a tremendous impact on her family in the City of Brotherly Love. Even though they were well-known and affluent citizens and abolitionists, the law’s passage took a heavy toll on all people of color in the North including rising racial tensions, mob attacks, and the acute possibility of kidnap. Charlotte Forten: Coming of Age as a Radical Teenage Abolitionist is an intellectual biography that spans her teenage years from 1854-1856. Scholarship has maintained that Charlotte was sent to Salem solely as a result of few educational opportunities in Philadelphia. Reexamining the diary she kept as a teenager in Salem reveals that there was more to the story. Her family’s extensive ties to the Underground Railroad, anti-slavery endeavors, and lack of male guardianship for her in Philadelphia also factored in to the ii family’s decision to send her to Salem.
