UPCOTT GILL, 170, STRAND, W.C, 1887. PRINTED BY A. BRADLEY, 170, STRAND, LONDON. 3W PREFACE. " JjJjtfN these days, when of making books there is no end," ^*^ and every description of work, whether professional or amateur, has a literature of its own, it is strange that scarcely anything should have been written on the fascinating arts of Chasing and Repousse Work. It is true that a few articles have appeared in various periodicals on the subject, but with scarcely an exception they treated only of Working on Wood, and the directions given were generally crude and imperfect. This is the more surprising when we consider how fashionable Repousse Work has become of late years, both here and in America; indeed, in the latter country, "Do you pound brass ? " is said to be a very common question. I have written the following pages in the hope that they might, in some measure, supply a want, and prove of service to my brother amateurs. It has been hinted to me that some of my chapters are rather "advanced;" in other words, that I have gone farther than amateurs are likely to follow me.

  • THE DEGRADATION of PEWTER in ANTIQUE LACE BOBBINS Home Page
    THE DEGRADATION OF PEWTER IN ANTIQUE LACE BOBBINS Home Page Parent Page THE DEGRADATION OF PEWTER IN ANTIQUE LACE BOBBINS. This article needs a couple of pics. Pewter Degradation Introduction The pewter used in bobbins is one of the prettiest decorative processes that makers used. Unfortunately during the passage of time much of the pewter by some makers has degraded and has either fallen off the bobbin or has become swollen, misshapen and even crumbly. The following is my attempt, with the help of many people on the web and especially my friend Neil Keats, to explain this phenomenon. Pewter. Pewter is an alloy (i.e. a mixture) of tin and lead. The better the quality of pewter the higher the percentage of tin is in the alloy. Tin exists in three forms, depending on the temperature. This is called polymorphism (poly-many, morphism-shapes). At temperatures between 13 and 160 degrees C, it is called White tin, and the atoms (think of them as little balls in this description) are packed closely together to form the metal. Hence, it is a dense metal, i.e. it is hard. file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/My%20Docu...s/Pewter%20degredation/Pewter%20degredation.htm (1 of 4) [6/9/2003 8:15:25 PM] THE DEGRADATION OF PEWTER IN ANTIQUE LACE BOBBINS Below 13 degrees C the atoms rearrange to become more loosely packed (actually in the same configuration as diamond). This shows first as wart-like structures on the surface, and eventually leads to the tin crumbling into a powder. This is called "tin pest", and is what happened to the buttons on Napoleon's soldiers coats.

  • Greek Bronze Yearbook of the Irish Philosophical Society 2006 1
    Expanded reprint Greek Bronze 1 In Memoriam: John J. Cleary (1949-2009) Greek Bronze: Holding a Mirror to Life Babette Babich Abstract: To explore the ethical and political role of life-sized bronzes in ancient Greece, as Pliny and others report between 3,000 and 73,000 such statues in a city like Rhodes, this article asks what these bronzes looked like. Using the resources of hermeneutic phenomenological reflection, as well as a review of the nature of bronze and casting techniques, it is argued that the ancient Greeks encountered such statues as images of themselves in agonistic tension in dynamic and political fashion. The Greek saw, and at the same time felt himself regarded by, the statue not as he believed the statue divine but because he was poised against the statue as a living exemplar. Socrates’ Ancestor Daedalus is known to most of us because of the story of Icarus but readers of Plato know him as a sculptor as Socrates claims him as ancestor, a genealogy consistently maintained in Plato’s dialogues.1 Not only is Socrates a stone-cutter himself but he was also known for his Daedalus-like ingenuity at loosening or unhinging his opponent’s arguments. When Euthyphro accuses him of shifting his opponents’ words (Meletus would soon make a similar charge), Socrates emphasizes this legacy to defend himself on traditionally pious grounds: if true, the accusation would set him above his legendary ancestor. Where Daedalus ‘only made his own inventions to move,’ Socrates—shades of the fabulous Baron von Münchhausen—would thus be supposed to have the power to ‘move those of other people as well’ (Euth.

Jan Gadd is credited with the photography and the descriptions. He was assisted by Dr John Richardson and Michael Boorer. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… It is apparent that some information unknown to Jan has become known in the intervening years. These descriptions were the best available at the time of writing to Jan Gadd. ARLINGTON COURT IS A NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AT BARNSTAPLE The unmarried heiress and descendant of the original owner Rosalie Chichester died age 85 in 1949 bequeathing Arlington Court to the National Trust. She was a talented artist with a knowledge of flora and fauna, reputably strong willed, and a well-known collector of old pewter. She was also known for a strong aversion to hunting.

  • 201209 Final Thesis Amended.Pdf
    “Cleanse out the Old Leaven, that you may be a New Lump”: A Rhetorical Analysis of 1 Cor 5-11:1 in Light of the Social Lives of the Corinthians Written by Sin Pan Daniel Ho March 2012 Supervisor: Professor James G. Crossley APartial FulFillment for the Doctor of Philosophy. Department of Biblical Studies. University of Sheffield This study offers a new interpretation of 1 Cor 5—11:1 from a social identity approach. The goal is to investigate and analyse the inner logic of Paul in these six chapters from the ears of the Corinthian correspondence. It takes into account the Jewish tradition inherited from Paul and daily social lives of the audience. Through the analysis of the literary structure of 1 Cor 5-11:1, research on social implications of Satanic language in ancient Jewish literature, rhetorical analysis of intertextual echoes of Scripture and Christ language in 1 Cor 5-11:1 in light of the social values prevalent in the urban city of Roman Corinth, it is argued that Paul has consistently indoctrinated new values for the audience to uphold which are against the main stream of social values in the surrounding society throughout 1 Cor 5-11:1. Paul does not engage in issues of internal schism per se, but rather in the distinctive values insiders should uphold so as to be recognisable by outsiders in their everyday social lives. While church is neither a sectarian nor an accommodating community, it should maintain constant social contact with the outsiders so as to bring the gospel of Christ to them.

Marshall Joseph Becker A reawakening of interest in material culture has stimulated the examination of some small pewter castings in use among northeastern Native American peoples during the 17th and early 18th centuries. Reports by 17th­ century explorers and colonists, ·who found Eastern Woodland natives to be disinterested in gold and silver artifacts, are now better understood. The period from 1720 to 1750 was critical to the Lenape and other peoples .who had just become major players in the fur trade to the Allegheny and Ohio River areas. During this period various silver-colored white metal castings may have been the precursors of sterling-quality silver trade items.
