  • 'Atavism and Ideas of Architectural Progress in Robert Adam's
    Iain Gordon Brown, ‘Atavism and Ideas of Architectural Progress in Robert Adam’s Vitruvian Seal’, The Georgian Group Jounal, Vol. IV, 1994, pp. 70–73 TEXT © THE AUTHORS 1994 ATAVISM AND IDEAS OF ARCHITECTURAL PROGRESS IN ROBERT ADAM’S VITRUVIAN SEAL Iain Gordon Brown n the Preface to their Works in Architecture the brothers Adam stated: “We intended to have prefixed to our designs a dissertation concerning the rise and progress of architecture in Great IBritain; and to have pointed out the various stages of its improvements from the time, that our ancestors, relinquishing the gothick style, began to aim at an imitation of the Grecian manner, until it attained that degree of perfection at which it has now arrived. ” This, they said, would be a “curious and entertaining subject”, but the pressures of a busy practice prevented the “digestion and arrangement” of their thoughts on the matter.1 The fact is that Robert Adam had, at the outset of his career, succinctly summed up the idea of the “rise and progress” of architecture in the form of an allusive and emblematic seal which, when dec oded, can be shown to have an atavistic meaning at once ingenious and witty. Although the matrix is lost, impressions of the seal survive on Adam’s letters from the period of his Grand Tour (Fig. 1). He began to use the seal in November 1754, and continued to employ it regularly until February 1756. The device it bore is exceedingly interesting, and the opportunity is taken in this article to consider it in detail.

  • Adam Symposium Book of Abstracts Final Revision with High Res Images
    ROBERT ADAM AND HIS BROTHERS GEORGIAN GROUP SYMPOSIUM 2 015 GEORGIAN GROUP SYMPOSIUM 2 0 1 5 ROBERT ADAM AND HIS BROTHERS: NEW LIGHT ON BRITAIN’S LEADING ARCHITECTURAL FAMILY Organizing Committee: Dr Geoffrey Tyack, Director, Stanford University Programme, Oxford (Editor, Georgian Group Journal) Colin Thom, Senior Historian, Survey of London, Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL) Robert Bargery, Secretary, Georgian Group 23rd–24th September 2015 R I B A 66 Portland Place London W1B 1AD The Adam style revolution transformed British architecture in the latter half of the eighteenth century. The brothers’ unique and inventive approach to design, based on a modern reinterpretation of the art of antiquity, found widespread popularity and was to have a lasting impact on European and American architecture. The movement and surface variety inherent in their buildings, combined with the lightness and informality of their interiors, set new standards of elegance and were widely imitated. This two-day Georgian Group symposium, led by the architectural historians Colin Thom of UCL and Georgian Group Journal editor, Dr Geoffrey Tyack, will highlight new research and findings on Robert Adam and his brothers across all aspects of their life and work, including architecture, interior decoration, the use of colour, the influence of classical sources, drawing office procedure, the art market, town-planning and building speculation. The symposium will offer interpretations by a mix of established scholars and a younger generation of historians and doctoral

  • Drink and the Victorians
    DRINK AND THE VICTORIANS A HISTORY OF THE BRITISH TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT PAGING NOTE: Pamphlets, journals, and periodicals are paged using the number of the item on the list below, and the call number 71-03051. Books are cataloged individually – get author/title info below, and search SearchWorks for online record and call number. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE This collection has been formed by the amalgamation of two smaller but important collections. The larger part, probably about three-quarters of the whole, was formed by William Hoyle of Claremont, Bury, near Manchester. The other part was formerly in the Joseph Livesey Library, Sheffield, and many of the pamphlets carry that library stamp. The catalogue has three main elements: pamphlets and tracts; books, including a section of contemporary biography; and newspapers, journals and conference reports. There are around 1400 separately published pamphlets and tracts but a series of tracts, or part of a series, has usually been catalogued as one item. The Hoyle collection of pamphlets, is bound in 24 volumes, mostly half black roan, many with his ownership stamp. All the pieces from the Joseph Livesey Library are disbound; so that any item described as "disbound" may be assumed to be from the Livesey collection and all the others, for which a volume and item number are given, from Hoyle's bound collection. INTRODUCTION By Brian Harrison Fellow and Tutor in Modern History and Politics, Corpus Christi College, Oxford. Anyone keen to understand the Victorians can hardly do better than devour Joseph Livesey's Staunch Teetotaler (458) or J.G. Shaw's Life of William Gregson.

  • Robert Adam's Engagement with Medieval Architecture
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository A ‘Classical Goth’: Robert Adam’s engagement with medieval architecture PETER N. LINDFIELD Robert Adam’s Grand Tour in 1754–8 had a profound impact upon his understanding of the forms and ornament of Classical architecture. This became manifest after his return to Britain in his country house designs, as, for example, in the south façade of Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire (from c 1760).1 Beyond this elevation’s dynamic advancement and recession of planes, the architecture paraphrases two notable monuments of ancient Rome: the Arch of Constantine and the Pantheon. Kedleston’s interior, including its celebrated Saloon, was equally responsive to antique forms, and the tour’s impact upon Adam in the shaping of his eponymous neoclassical style is explored elsewhere in this volume. The vast majority of Adam’s country house architecture – from the remodelling of existing homes like Osterley Park, Middlesex (1763–80), through to the creation of new structures such as Witham Park, Somerset (1762–70) – was neoclassical.2 Indeed, of his realised work, only three of his 89 known country estate commissions were overtly Gothic, and all were south of the border: the interior of the Church of St Mary Magdalene, Croome d’Abitot, at Croome Court, Worcestershire (1763); the Round Room at Strawberry Hill, Twickenham (1766–7); and his work for the Duke of Northumberland at Alnwick – namely the interiors for Alnwick Castle (c 1770–80) and its associated Gothic eye-catcher, Brizlee Tower, Hulne Park (1777–83).

  • WESTRALIAN SCOTS: Scottish Settlement and Identity in Western Australia, Arrivals 1829-1850
    WESTRALIAN SCOTS: Scottish Settlement and Identity in Western Australia, arrivals 1829-1850 Leigh S. L. Beaton, B.A (Honours) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2004 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary institution. …………………………. (Leigh Beaton) i THESIS ABSTRACT Before the end of 1850, Scottish settlers in Western Australia represented a small minority group of what was, in terms of the European population, a predominantly English colony. By comparison to the eastern Australian colonies, Western Australia attracted the least number of Scottish migrants. This thesis aims to broaden the historiography of Scottish settlement in Australia in the nineteenth century by providing insights into the lives of Westralian Scots. While this thesis broadly documents Scottish settlement, its main focus is Scottish identity. Utilising techniques of nominal record linkage and close socio- biographical scrutiny, this study looks beyond institutional manifestations of Scottish identity to consider the ways in which Scottishness was maintained in everyday lives through work, social and religious practices. This thesis also demonstrates the multi-layered expressions of national identity by recognising Scottish identity in the Australian colonies as both Scottish and British. The duality of a Scottish and British identity made Scots more willing to identify eventually as Westralian

Robert Adam's Revolution In Architecture Abstract ABSTRACT ROBERT ADAM’S REVOLUTION IN ARCHITECTURE Robert Adam (1728-92) was a revolutionary artist and, unusually, he possessed the insight and bravado to self-identify as one publicly. In the first fascicle of his three-volume Works in Architecture of Robert and James Adam (published in installments between 1773 and 1822), he proclaimed that he had started a “revolution” in the art of architecture. Adam’s “revolution” was expansive: it comprised the introduction of avant-garde, light, and elegant architectural decoration; mastery in the design of picturesque and scenographic interiors; and a revision of Renaissance traditions, including the relegation of architectural orders, the rejection of most Palladian forms, and the embrace of the concept of taste as a foundation of architecture.

It gives the impression of a rather stolid Victorian mansion, and in its new dressing of cement harled walls and regular, machine-dressed slates roofs it belies its origins in the mid- eighteenth century as a douce, small villa constructed (almost certainly) to designs prepared by Robert Adam for which the archival evidence and the evidence of the building itself is strong indeed.

  • Falkirk Players Pre-War
    Falkirk FC Players to 1938/39 Notes The debut given here is for the first match they were noted, regardless of level, ie mostly friendlies. In the early days it was always easier to list the exact position of players who played in 'big' matches, often the friendlies only gave the score, or just a 'potted' review, not giving the complete line-up, where I have been able I have put the regular position of players who never played in the Scottish Cup or the Scottish League This same fact means that any debut given is completely unreliable before 1905 [and it is still quite dicey after 1905], even when I know the score, it doesn't mean I know who played [or who scored] For the club honours I have only included those players who played in the relevant finals, as those were the only players given medals [and some of the line-ups for the early rounds are unknown]. For League Honours, different leagues have different rules about who are eligible for a medal, when I don't know better I have added anybody who has played in 50% or more of the matches [however I have found this difficult as it ranges between 3 games in the first Falkirk & District League and 19 in the Scottish League] Birth places are often given not by city, town or village, but by parish as that was how it was sometimes recorded. In the career clubs part, I have tried to keep them in some sort of chronological order, but this was not always possible, so is not completely reliable.
