The Rothschild Bibliography Caroline Shaw of the Rothschild Archive Describes Her Attempts to Chart the Family’S Countless Ventures Into Print
The Rothschild Bibliography Caroline Shaw of The Rothschild Archive describes her attempts to chart the family’s countless ventures into print The ‘Dunottar Castle’ from the cover of Three weeks in South Africa by Ferdinand de Rothschild Has there ever been such a family as the Rothschilds for getting into print? For me, after working on this project for two years, the question is coloured by a mixture of wonder and exasperation. Will they never stop publishing? Of course, one hopes not; but is there to be no rest for the bibliographer? It has been a long-standing goal of The Rothschild Archive to compile a bibliography of publications by members of the Rothschild family and now, 1,840 entries by fifty-one individuals further on, we are perhaps ready to acknowledge that critical mass has been reached whilst accepting that completion may never be achieved. The initial motivation for producing The Rothschild bibliography was a desire to bring some kind of intellectual order to this not insignificant aspect of the activities of the Rothschild family. It has been a mapping of a wide and diverse terrain and revealed some previously uncharted areas. Beyond this, and the greater insight allowed into the lives and interests of many members of the family, the bibliography has brought some other benefits to the Archive. New acquisitions have followed from our greater knowledge and awareness of the publications; and the ever-expanding database of references has also built up into a guide for locating material, whether held at the Archive or at another institution. -

ARIE SKLODOWSKA CURIE Opened up the Science of Radioactivity
ARIE SKLODOWSKA CURIE opened up the science of radioactivity. She is best known as the discoverer of the radioactive elements polonium and radium and as the first person to win two Nobel prizes.

Her work not only influenced the development of fundamental science but also ushered in a new era in medical research and treatment.

Lionel was a keen and talented photographer whose collection of plates, a gift to The Rothschild Archive from his family, is one of the most extensive to survive in the UK. On his return from an Italian honeymoon, Lionel made a speech of thanks for their wedding gift to his parliamentary constituents of Mid Bucks revealing his dedication to his hobby and his eagerness to share its results with others: I must thank you for a very pleasant four weeks’ holiday which I have had in Italy, but I want to tell you that during those four weeks I was not idle, for I managed to take a camera with me, and I took a great many coloured photographs. -
Gentile Folly: the Rothschilds
Gentile Folly: the Rothschilds by ARNOLD LEESE Author of “My Irrelevant Defence: Jewish Ritual Murder.” This book is dedicated, with permission, to H. H. BEAMISH, the pioneer, who set my feet upon the way. “If I am killing a rat with a stick and have him in a corner, I am not indignant if he tries to bite me and squeals and gibbers with rage. My job is, not to get angry, but to keep cool, to attend to my footwork and to keep on hitting him where it will do the most good.”— A. S. Leese, speaking at Reception, 17th Feb., 1937, on his return from prison where he was consigned for writing the truth about Jews. CONTENTS [by original pages] Chapter.
