He came of poor parents – his father was an unskilled tailor and his mother a seamstress – who had left Odessa and thereafter Constantinople at the end of the nineteenth century, and who lived in Montmartre. The family left France for their final move to England in 1914, shortly after the beginning of the war, when he was eight and had already begun his education in a Montmartre elementary school. The family’s straitened circumstances in the East End of London did not impede his intellectual progress, despite the fact that he and his elder brother – who also became a doctor – had at one point to divide a single medical textbook between them, by separating it physically into two parts and swapping the parts between them. Nor could he afford a stethoscope in his early student days; his first stethoscope was given to him by a professor of medicine who noticed his embarrassment at being without one (an instrument which he kept for the rest of his life). Such matters as this, and the fact that he was to become a fine diarist and master of English prose – A Doctor’s Life: The Diaries of Hugh Selbourne M.D was published by Jonathan Cape in 1989 to critical acclaim including from Hilary Mantel in the Guardian – made him a ‘medical man’ of a most distinctive kind. That he was also able to amass a personal library of such quality and range – buying the first books in it while still a student and continuing to build it for more than forty years – makes his collection a singular testimony to his overcoming of early hardship as an immigrant to Britain and to his erudition. Moreover, his Library sheds light on a life which will in the future become increasingly known when other volumes of his diaries, compared by reviewers with those of Parson Kilvert and containing a vivid portrait of the ills, events and foibles of his times, are published. My father began his medical studies at the age of seventeen and qualified at St. Bart’s before his twenty-second birthday, becoming an MD and Member of the Royal College of Physicians in the same year – a rare feat – when still only twenty-five. For a while he was house physician to Lord Horder, the King’s doctor, who had a high regard for his skills and knowledge of humankind. He worked in London hospitals and hospitals in the south-east of England, before moving to Manchester in 1938, where he remained for the rest of his life. He was first a general practitioner and then a consultant physician, with a large practice and a reputation as an outstanding diagnostician, wit and bibliophile. While my sisters and I are sad to see our father’s books go, we are reassured by the hope that they will once again be in the hands of appreciative collectors and new institutional homes across the world.

  • Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World During the Age of Enlightenment1
    CSCH President’s Address 2012 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World during the Age of Enlightenment1 DARREN W. SCHMIDT The King’s University College My research stemming from doctoral studies is focused on English- speaking evangelical use, interpretation, and production of church history in the eighteenth century, during which religious revivals on both sides of the North Atlantic signalled new developments on many fronts. Church history was of vital importance for early evangelicals, in ways similar to earlier generations of Protestants beginning with the Reformation itself. In the eighteenth century nerves were still sensitive from the religious and political intrigues, polemic, and outright violence in the seventeenth- century British Isles and American colonies; terms such as “Puritan” and “enthusiast” maintained the baggage of suspicion. Presumed to be guilty by association, evangelical leaders were compelled to demonstrate that the perceived “surprising work of God” in their midst had a pedigree: they accordingly construed their experience as part of a long narrative of religious ebb and flow, declension and revival. Time and time again, eighteenth-century evangelicals turned to the pages of the past to vindicate and to validate their religious identity.2 Browsing through historiographical studies, one is hard-pressed to find discussion of eighteenth-century church historical writing. There is general scholarly agreement that the Protestant Reformation gave rise to a new historical interest. In answer to Catholic charges of novelty, Historical Papers 2012: Canadian Society of Church History 188 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World Protestants critiqued aspects of medieval Catholicism and sought to show their continuity with early Christianity.

  • The Early Career of Bishop Charles Walmsley Osb Dd Frs 1722-97
    © English Benedictine Congregation History Commission – Symposium 1997 THE EARLY CAREER OF BISHOP CHARLES WALMSLEY OSB DD FRS 1722-97 Dom Geoffrey Scott HE ENGLISH BENEDICTINE CHARLES WALMESLEY, Vicar Apostolic of the Western District, died stone deaf on November 25th 1797, aged 75. Since 1997 marks the Tbi-centenary of his death, this is a tribute to a monk who was a mathematician and astronomer of international renown, for many years the doyen of the English Vicars Apostolic, and the father of the American hierarchy, through his consecration of Bishop John Carroll in 1790. No comprehensive biography of Walmesley has ever been attempted, for aspiring biographers have been daunted by the assertion that whilst he was at Wardour Castle, all his library, archives and papers went up in flames when the chapel and house at Bath were fired by the mob during the Gordon Riots in 1780. Because of his major involvement in the conflict between the Catholic Committee and some of the Vicars Apostolic in the last two decades of the eighteenth century, his later career has received much attention from scholars. His contribution to that conflict will not, therefore, be addressed here. What follows is an attempt to gather together what singed biographical fragments remain of those earlier and perhaps happier years of a man whom public opinion regarded in his mature years as the rising hope of stern unbending English Catholic conservatism [1].1 F A M I L Y Charles Walmesley was born at Westwood Hall on the outskirts of Wigan, Lancashire, on 13 January 1722, the seventh son, and youngest but one, of twelve children, of the wealthy Lancashire Catholic squire and Wigan alderman, John Walmesley and his wife, Mary Greaves.

  • GOLD TRIED 550 TIMES in the FIRE Timothy Alborn
    GOLD TRIED 550 TIMES IN THE FIRE Timothy Alborn Historians inevitably face the challenge of selecting a subset of primary sources to stand for a much larger body of research. This challenge is magnified in the case of the history of ideas, where the need to provide closer readings tends to diminish that already small sample size. My article, “The Greatest Metaphor Ever Mixed,” distilled hundreds of sources from numerous genres down to a few dozen. A section on the various uses of the metaphor of gold tried in the fire, for instance, quotes twenty-eight sources that employ that metaphor, or roughly five percent of the sources I consulted. To find all these sources, I pursued two parallel tracks. The first was part of a larger project on the cultural and economic history of gold in Britain from 1780 to 1850, which will soon be published by Oxford University Press. For this project, I spent the last eight years looking for references to gold wherever they showed up: in treatises, novels, sermons, speeches, and newspaper articles, among many other sources. The bulk of my research utilized such online databases as Eighteenth Century Collections Online, Making of the Modern World, and Google Books. After realizing, a few years into this research, that gold appeared frequently and with interesting variations in numerous religious contexts, I did more targeted search in these databases (see my full list of search terms below for “gold tried in the fire”). In a blog post accompanying a different article I published two years ago in the Journal of Victorian Culture, I made a first foray into providing access to the larger cultural world that historians must curtail in order to “see the forest for the trees.” (link).

  • BROAD on the GROWING Blo K Universe
    Broad on the Growing Ted Sider Block Universe Intro Metaphysics 1. B theory versus moving spotlight The B theory Time is analogous to space in many ways. Past, present, and future objects are all (tenselessly) real. No time is objectively present; to say that something is present is just to say that it is simultaneous with one’s utterance. (Similarly, to say that something is past or future is to say it is after or before one’s utterance.) Change is nothing more than the truth of a pair of statements of this form: “Object x is F at time t1” and “Object x is not F at time t2”. Many (though not all) B theorists accept temporal parts. We are naturally tempted to regard the history of the world as existing eternally in a certain order of events. Along this, and in a xed direction, we imagine the characteristic of presentness as moving, somewhat like the spot of light from a policeman’s bull’s-eye traversing the fronts of the houses in a street. What is illuminated is the present, what has been illuminated is the past, and what has not yet been illuminated is the future… (Broad, p. 141.) The moving spotlight view Past, present, and future objects are real, as the B theory says. But a single moment of time is objectively present. But which moment is present is not “frozen”; the objective present moves. In addition to the kind of “change” that the B theory acknowledges, there is also a further sort of—more genuine—change: the change in events from future to present to past.
