A Publisher and his Friends: Memoir and Correspondence of the late John Murray with an Account of the Origin and Progress of the House, 1768-1843 . 2 vols. London John Murray 1891. Codes: Names of writer and recipient are in bold type, with location from which sent, and date. (Source is given in round brackets beneath the title: “text from” indicates that the actual source has been seen). Where the manuscript is the source, the text is left-justified only. Where the source is a book, the text is left- and right-justified. [The address, if there is one, is given in square brackets beneath the source] “1:2” and so on indicates a page-turn on the bifolium. “1:2 and 1:3 blank” shows that not all the paper has been used. If Byron goes on to a second bifolium, or a second sheet, it’s an occasion. The address, if there is no envelope, is normally in the centre of 1:4. <Authorial deletion> <xxxxx> Irrecoverable authorial deletion <deleted> Infra-red and ultra-violet might reveal something interesting {Interlineated word or phrase} E[ditoria]l A[dditio]n [ ] Illegible Hyphens: where Byron has split a word over two sides, and used a double hyphen, the effect has been re= / =tained. But, as the text is not transcribed on a line-for-line basis (except in the case of Susan Vaughan’s letters (for reasons explained at January 12th 1812), hyphens are not used when he splits a word over two lines. See April 3rd 1819 for another letter transcribed line-for-line. Underlining: sometimes Byron underlines a whole word, sometimes single syllables (for comical effect, as in “Quarterlyers ”), sometimes an entire phrase, and sometimes part of a word (from haste). In all cases except the last, where the whole word is underlined, we have tried to keep to his usage, underlining with a single understroke , with two understrokes , with a heavy underlining , or with a decorative line . 2 Signatures: As time goes on, Byron’s signature becomes less careful, but then recovers. Few of his ways of signing off can be conveyed in print. “Byron ” indicates a word whose second syllable is both underlined and overlined. “BN ” indicates those two letters with different degrees of dash-decoration around them. Sometimes they appear Greek. “[ swirl signature ]” indicates a bird’s-nest effect which can with charity be read as a capital “B”. “[ scrawl ]” is a long wavy line, often starting as “y rs ” but with no other letters decipherable. After the death of Lady Noel, Byron regains pride in his name, and often signs “N. B. ” with a decorative underlining.

  • Some Documents Relating to Lord Byron's Finances During 1812-18
    1 Some documents relating to Lord Byron’s Finances during 1812-18 1: Byron’s Bank Account with Hoare and Company, 37 Fleet Street 2: Financial material in the John Murray Archive relative to the account with Hoare’s 3: Byron’s account with Hammersley’s Bank, Pall Mall 1: Byron’s Bank Account with Hoare and Company, 37 Fleet Street This is as full an edition of Byron’s first-line bank account during his Years of Fame (1812 - 1816) as I have been able to construct. He had another account with Hammersley’s, for which see below. I think I have been able to identify most of the people and organisations named on the left-hand, debit side of the ledgers. If anyone disagrees with any of my attributions, or has a different interpretation, I should like to hear from them. Hoares date the foundation of their bank from July 5th 1672, when Richard Hoare was granted the Freedom of the Goldsmiths’ Company. In 1673 he took over the goldsmith’s business of his deceased master, and moved it in 1690 to 37 Fleet Street at the Sign of the Golden Bottle, where the bank’s premises have been ever since. All partners in the Bank have been his direct descendants. Hoare was knighted by Queen Anne, and was Lord Mayor of London in 1712. The Bank skilfully avoided disaster when the South Sea Bubble burst in 1721, and Sir Richard’s younger son, also named Richard, was knighted as a reward for his peacekeeping services during the Jacobite uprising of 1745.

  • Curriculum Vitae Bonnie Maclachlan (Updated April, 2019)
    Curriculum Vitae Bonnie MacLachlan (Updated April, 2019) Bonnie MacLachlan retired from the Department of Classical Studies at the University of Western Ontario in 2012. While no longer teaching in the department she continues with her research, giving conference presentations and publishing in the area of Greek poetry and religion, comic theatre in the Greek West and gender studies. In the fall of 2014 she gave graduate seminars at the Department of Classics and Anthropology at the University of Siena, on questions in Greek epistemology arising from both texts and material culture. She served as Vice-President, President and Past-President of the Classical Association of Canada from 2012-2018. In November 2018 she presented a keynote address for a conference in Lausanne, Switzerland, entitled “Non-elite Couples in Greco-Roman Antiquity.” She has submitted a written version of her talk as a chapter for a book to be published by Routledge and continues to work on aspects of this subject. The focus of another work-in- progress is the development of the concept and measurement of ‘value’ in ancient Greece. The earliest objects with quantifiable value possessed functional potential, such as cattle, tripods or obeloi. Gradually representational value shifted to objects with symbolic worth such as ingots of metal, before taking its final form with coins beginning in 6th century BCE. Lydia. On this subject she is working with a consortium of earth scientists (local and international) and anthropologists who do deep analysis of the metal content

  • A Temple Wild Podcast Episode 7: the Nymphs of Ancient Greece Transcript You're Listening
    A Temple Wild Podcast Episode 7: The Nymphs of Ancient Greece https://atemplewild.com/podcast/nymphs Transcript You're listening to A Temple Wild: Episode 7: The Nymphs of Ancient Greece Hello and welcome to A Temple Wild, where we rediscover the myths of the ancient Greeks through the plants and landscapes that shaped them. My name is Ekstasy and in today's episode we're going to be discussing the nymphs of ancient Greece. In mainstream Greek mythology, meaning the stories that most people know about the ancients, I think the nymphs often take a backseat to the Olympian gods. They are beautiful maidens, usually seen accompanying the gods or playing minor roles in the famous myths. But for those of us who are seeking a deeper connection with Nature, and with the Mediterranean landscape specifically, I think the nymphs are actually in fact the most important beings of ancient Greek myth and plant lore. So what are they, really? Simply stated, they are nature spirits. They are responsible for growing, nurturing, and guarding the natural habitats, plants and animals within their realm. They are often associated with a specific mountain or a forest, a meadow or marsh, a freshwater source or the sea, or other natural region that occurs in the landscape. And they are also often tied with specific trees, plants, or even insects. There are unique names for the different types of nymphs: naiads are freshwater nymphs, nereids are spirits of the sea, oreiads are conifer nymphs, melissae, as you'll remember from an earlier podcast episode, are bee nymphs, there are dozens of names for different types of nymph...but despite their many names, all nymphs do seem to share a few characteristics, the most important one being that they are local entities, their essence and function is intimately tied to the very specific place that they inhabit.

  • Life and Contexts
    1 Life and contexts Introduction This part attempts to sketch Byron’s life as a writer and show how his poetry was produced through interaction with specific literary cultures in Regency London and abroad. The circumstances of the composition of the verse will be mentioned here briefly but the major poetry will be discussed in more detail in Part 2 and different critical views of it will be indicated in Part 3. Byron’s adventurous life has inspired many biographies, discussed in the ‘Further Reading’ at the end of this section. Reference will be made to these in parenthesis and also to Byron’s Letters and Journals (BLJ) and to accounts of the poet written by his contemporaries. Childhood and family background, 1788–1805 George Gordon Byron was born on 22 January 1788 at 16 Holles Street, Cavendish Square, London, the son of aristocratic parents: Captain ‘Mad Jack’ Byron and Catherine (née Gordon). His father was a handsome English fortune hunter who soon ran through his plain Scottish wife’s money, and the marriage disinte- grated not long after the birth of the baby. Mrs Byron returned to Scotland and took lodgings in Aberdeen in 1789, then in 1791 rented an apartment at 64 Broad Street. Captain Byron died in the same year and she was left to bring up her son alone on only 150 pounds a year. At this time 500 pounds per annum was considered the minimum income for the gentry, and a nobleman needed 10,000 pounds per annum to participate fully in the social season, so this modest lower- middle-class standard of life was considered akin to poverty by an aristocrat such as Catherine Byron.
