    Electric Scotland's Weekly Newsletter for March 22nd, 2019 For the latest news from Scotland see our ScotNews feed at: https://electricscotland.com/scotnews.htm Electric Scotland News We're now coming very near to decision day on Brexit. I truly hope that we leave on 29th March with a no deal and thus trade on WTO terms while we seek a new Free Trade deal with the EU. May's negotiated withdrawal deal is terrible for the UK and would keep us in the Common Market, Single Market and still under the ECJ. We would be a rule taker and have no say on any rules the EU put in force. To my mind there are only two choices... either we remain in the EU or we leave with no deal. Accepting May's negotiated deal would make things far worse for the UK. May has consistently lied to us and frankly is damaged goods. The Conservative party also lied to us as did Labour when they ran on a manifesto that clearly stated we would lave the EU. In a future election we must do everything we can to remove those MP's that lied to us. Also I have to say on a personal basis I'd love us to just leave as that would mean we could then focus on measures that would improve things for the UK and stop all the useless discussions that are going on. While I have been documenting this for historical purposes I have to say I'm rather sick fed up with it all.

  • New College Notes 14 (2020), No
    The New College Porters Robinson Tower, where the Porters’ Lodge is situated today—Holywell Quadrangle, New College, Oxford Those in the know are well aware that the porters at New College are by far the best of any Oxford college, and worthy of many a New College Note. But this is not an essay celebrating them. Nor shall I be discussing that other famous porter of New College, William Porter (c. 1450–1524), warden from 1494 to 1520. The college’s ninth warden, Porter hailed from Newent, Gloucestershire. In 1470 he proceeded to New College as a theology scholar from Winchester College, and held a fellowship here until 1483. Eleven years later, he returned to us as warden, before ending his days as Precentor of Hereford Cathedral. He is certainly as well known to Brasenose College as he is to us in New College. In his will he left an important benefaction to 1 New College Notes 14 (2020), no. 5 ISSN 2517-6935 The New College Porters Brasenose (founded 1509), which included endowing a fellowship for a man from the county of Herefordshire, a so-called Porter’s scholar. Our library at New College is not celebrated for its holdings of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century fiction;1 the strengths of our rare book holdings lie largely elsewhere. But New College Library does hold a hitherto unremarked cache of Porter books—seven books written by two sons and two daughters of another William Porter (1735–79), an army surgeon of Irish descent, whose five children, all in some way distinguished, were born during the 1770s in the city of Durham.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by h its representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of History The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date June. 1968 ii Abstract Hannah More (1745-1833), the daughter of an impover• ished gentleman-schoolmaster, rose through charm and literary- talent into the brilliant London literary society of the last quarter of the eighteenth century. In middle age she became an Evangelical and joined the "Clapham Saints" in their cam• paigns for "vital religion" and for reformation of manners and morals. She made her contribution through the establish• ment of Sunday and day schools for the poor in the Mendip Hills of Somerset, and through the composition of "improving" books for rich and poor. These didactic works were vehicles for her social and religious philosophy, and Hannah More intended that they should be the means for conversion to these ideas.

  • Places of Worship in Warsaw in the Age of Partitions in English Language Sources - Role, Context, Meaning
    Przemysław Deles PLACES OF WORSHIP IN WARSAW IN THE AGE OF PARTITIONS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOURCES - ROLE, CONTEXT, MEANING. TOWARDS AN ANALYSIS Places of worship are one of the most important elements of the urban struc- ture, often determining the cityscape and acting as juncture points in the spatial organization1. The present text is concerned with the role of churches and chapels in Warsaw and its vicinity in the period of partitions in the ac- counts of visitors from the British Isles and North America; the contexts in which they operated and the meaning ascribed to them. This article is based on a variety of sources: travel narratives, autobiographies, reportage, mem- oirs as well as analytical writing. The texts mentioned were published over the course of a century in a shifting political, social and religious environ- ment. The timespan reflects changes in: the contexts in which various places of worship appeared, the attitude of the author, as well as the nature of the descriptions. The sources document encounters with the city that occurred between the last partition of Poland in 1795, or, more specifically, 1804 (the year mentioned by the earliest text) and 1915, when the last Russian troops left Warsaw. One may wonder whether it is feasible to consider American and Brit- ish sources on an equal footing. However, it becomes clear from reading the 1 B. Żyłko, Introduction in W. Toporow, Miasto i Mit, Gdańsk 2000, p. 19. 211 Przemysław Deles American reports that their authors viewed Warsaw and Eastern Europe in a manner similar to their British counterparts.

  • The Female Aesthetic Subject: Questions of Taste, Sublimity and Beauty In
    The Female Aesthetic Subject: Questions of Taste, Sublimity and Beauty in Women's Prose, 1778 to 1828, with Particular Reference to the Works of Clara Reeve, Sophia and Harriet Lee, Elizabeth Hamilton and Jane Porter. Fiona Louise Price Submitted for the degree of Ph.D. Department of English Studies University of Durham September 2000 The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. No quotation from it should be published in any form, including Electronic and the Internet, without the author's prior written consent. All information derived from this thesis must be acknowledged appropriately. 1 9 SEP 2001 1 Abstract Fiona Louise Price The Female Aesthetic Subject: Questions of Taste, Sublimity and Beauty in Women's Prose, 1778 to 1828, with Particular Reference to the Works of Clara Reeve, Sophia and Harriet Lee, Elizabeth Hamilton and Jane Porter. Examining a broad range range of their works, this thesis shows that Clara Reeve, Sophia and Harriet Lee, Elizabeth Hamilton and Jane Porter investigate questions of taste and defmitions of the sublime and the beautiful in order both to enhance their own status as critics and to comment on political life. The introduction provides a context for the thesis, exploring trends in the aesthetic thought of the period, particularly as they concerned women writers. The first chapter then shows how Reeve, reflecting her Old Whiggish upbringing, used romance to emphasise the importance of morality to the country. In doing so, she allotted women a wider socio-political function. Her use of the roles offered by romance and romance criticism was essential to this.
