    7'aken at his Highland hi.me, Alt-ra-Craig, Olan THE LIFE OF PROFESSOR joe mm THE MOST DISTINGUISHED SCOTSMAN OP THE DAT BY VARIOUS EMINENT WRITERS.. EDITED BY REV. JOHN G* DUNCAN, SPR1NGBURN. JOHN J. RAE, 127 STOCKWEU, STREET UA 031 b PREFACE. THIS book is not intended to be a full and continuous biography of the late Professor John. Stuart Blackie. So serious a work as that de- mands the services of one who, admitted to a closer friendship than I can claim, has also a greater literary power. I aim rather at giving the impressions left on my own mind and the minds of others, by a study of the life and work,, the sayings and sermons, the songs and lectures, the literary and other achievements of the late Professor. This volume is but a humble attempt to a to estimate give popular sketch of the man ; as far as possible the value of his contributions to life to contemporary thought and ; present within brief limits a picture of what he was and what he has done. To relate the story of the origin of this book and how I have been led to undertake the work of its Editor, would be an apology to myself rather than to the public ; but I may say that the task was not sought by, but was offered to^ me. At the time of the Professor's death I tried! in a sermon to point the lessons and the signifi- 959G34 cance of his life. Much of this sermon is included in the introductory chapter, and with slight alterations, is printed as it was delivered.

    Diana SCARISBRICK – Claudia WAGNER – John BOARDMAN, The Beverly Collec- tion of Gems at Alnwick Castle. The Philip Wilson Gems and Jewellery Series Bd. 2. London/New York: Philip Wilson Publishers 2016, 320 S., 480 farb. Abb. Since the 18th century the ancient Percy family, earls of Northumberland has been collecting engraved gems. Their assemblage is presently housed at Alnwick Castle. Traditionally referred as the Beverly Gems,1 now they are published in a fabulous book prepared by the top researchers in the field of glyptics: Diana Sca- risbrick, Claudia Wagner, and Sir John Boardman from the Beazley Archive, Oxford.2 Their new volume is a sizable and richly illustrated book that for sure will be of much interest to archaeologists, art historians, and all people interes- ted in gem engraving and the history of collecting. The book starts with a short preface outlining the basic scope and history of the project embarked on by the Oxford researchers (p. vii). This is followed by a list of the abbreviations that are used in the book, including essential guidance to the catalogue entries (pp. viii-xiii). Next, the history of the collection is pre- sented (pp. xv-xxv). This section, deeply researched and fully referenced to the archival material, is written in an approachable way by Diana Scarisbrick. The conclusion to the first part includes commentary on the records of the Beverly Gems and casts as well as the previous scholarship devoted to them.3 While the merit of earlier works should not be diminished, it is only with the present book authored by the Oxford researchers that we have a thorough study of the who- le collection.

  • The Classical Museum: a Journal of Philology, and of Ancient History and Literature: Volume 1 Edited by Leonhard Schmitz Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-05778-3 - The Classical Museum: A Journal of Philology, and of Ancient History and Literature: Volume 1 Edited by Leonhard Schmitz Frontmatter More information CAMBRIDGE LIBRARY COLLECTION Books of enduring scholarly value Classics From the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, Latin and Greek were compulsory subjects in almost all European universities, and most early modern scholars published their research and conducted international correspondence in Latin. Latin had continued in use in Western Europe long after the fall of the Roman empire as the lingua franca of the educated classes and of law, diplomacy, religion and university teaching. The flight of Greek scholars to the West after the fall of Constantinople in 1453 gave impetus to the study of ancient Greek literature and the Greek New Testament. Eventually, just as nineteenth-century reforms of university curricula were beginning to erode this ascendancy, developments in textual criticism and linguistic analysis, and new ways of studying ancient societies, especially archaeology, led to renewed enthusiasm for the Classics. This collection offers works of criticism, interpretation and synthesis by the outstanding scholars of the nineteenth century. The Classical Museum Born near Aachen, Leonhard Schmitz (1807–90) studied at the University of Bonn, from which he received his PhD, before marrying an Englishwoman and becoming a naturalised British citizen. Made famous by the 1844 publication of his translation of Niebuhr’s Lectures on the History of Rome, he became rector of the Royal High School, Edinburgh, where he taught Alexander Graham Bell. He also briefly tutored the future Edward VII (and he had previously taught Prince Albert in Bonn).

  • Brother Scots
    JOHN STUART BLACKIE The police inspector was very polite. He had much pleasure in returning to the signore tedesche their passports, and they might re§t assured that the Kingdom of Naples was honoured by their presence. The three German ladies—a mother and two daughters—smiled an uneasy appreciation of the official compliments. There was a suggestion of unpleasantness to come. Their party num- bered four, but only three passports had been returned. The inspeftor took the fourth from his pocket, glanced at it, frowned, put it back in his pocket and blew out his che§t. " But the signore capitano cannot proceed," he announced. A hurricane of protects broke out in which a shrill cackling male voice rose high above the melodious German accents of the ladies, and far surpassed them in fluency of inveftive. It de- claimed in more or less choice Italian against officials and tyrannies, principalities and powers, and, when Italian was exhausted, broke out afresh in German, quoted Latin and occasionally clinched matters with a pithy observation in the broadest 121 BROTHER SCOTS Aberdonian and a great guffaw. The ladies became alarmed. Their indignation at the police changed to tearful depreciations of their com- panion's vehemence. He was only doing him- self harm. He was asking to be imprisoned, tortured, shot, hung. Ach, lieber Gott, let him be moderate. Ah, luckless speech ! It heated the Scots- man's wrath seven times over. " Moderate, " *' madam ! he shouted. I hate and abominate moderation and compromises and discretions and all such subtle crafts and devices invented by the Father of Lies for the de§tru£):ion of the soul.

For a long time Heyne was neglected within classical scholars’ understanding of their own history, yet in his own age he was something of a European intellectual celebrity, and even at the end of the nineteenth century Friedrich Paulsen could identify him as ‘indisputably the leader in the field of classical studies in Germany during the second half of the eighteenth century’ (1885: 441).
