Crowther-Beynon :-Medals and Elizabethan Counters in illustration of his paper. By Miss Helen Farquhar: -In connection with Mr. Crowther­ Beynon's paper on sixteenth and seventeenth century counters, Miss Helen Farquhar brought four struck pieces showing the excellence attained by the mill and press in the time of Elizabeth and James I in 1602 and 16°3:- 1. Med. Ill., Vol. I, p. 188, NO.3. Thomas Sackville, Baron Buckhurst, afterwards Earl of Dorset, Lord Treasurer. 2. Med. Ill., Vol. I, p. 189, NO.5. Thomas Cecil, Lord Burghley, afterwards Earl of Exeter. 3. Med. Ill., Vol. I, p. 189, No.6. Sir Robert Cecil, Secretary to the King and Master of the Court of Wards. 4. Med. Ill., Vol. I, p. 190, NO.7. Sir Edward Coke, Attorney-General, afterwards Chief Justice of Common Pleas and King's Bench. These are official or private Reckoning Counters. Miss Farquhar also brought a box of silver counters engraved circa 1616 and 1618. Such boxes of counters were used in private houses for reckoning, while Roman figures were still in use in keeping accounts. The best-known sets are those called in Medallic Illustrations, Vol. I, pp. 379 and 380, Nos. 281 and 282, "The Sovereigns of England." It is rare to find a set formed of contemporary portraiture and it is probable that the jeton portraying James with his son Prince Charles (Med. Ill., Vol. I, p. 376, No. 272), was originally issued for single presentation, like a Royal photograph of the present time. At the time of writing her two articles on the " Silver Counters of the Seventeenth Century" for the Royal Numismatic Society, published in the Numismatic Chronicle in 1916 and 1925, Miss Farquhar had not met with a series of counters Meeting, January 28th, r93r portraying James and Charles, enclosed in a contemporary box, and even now she thinks it probable that the contents of two boxes have been mixed, or that half the original counters were lost and the set was made up some two or three years later. The original fifteen were probably engraved after the portrait by Crispin de Passe in or about r6r6, and the other fifteen follow the portraits of about r6r8, when the Prince first began to wear a small beard. Miss Farquhar also brought about a score of the ever-ageing presentment of Prince Charles, of less and less good techriique. She had examined some thirty under the microscope when writing her papers, and of these thirty found that only about eight were hand-engraved through­ out; of these eight she found that five were of the unbearded type. Those taken circa r628 from W. J. Delff's portrait after My tens are mostly cast and hand tooled. The popularity of the counter is attested by the fact that its issue continued so long after the death of James. There are at least eight different varieties of which the commonest are of the sixth, seventh, and eighth types, and the succes­ sive changes in the beard follow mostly the print by William van de Pas!"e in two states, issued in r623-4 and r627-8.

    III. Memorials of the last Achievement, Illness, and Death of SIR PHILIP SIDNEY ; communicated by G. F. BELTZ, Esq. K.H. F.S.A. Lancaster Herald, in a Letter to SIR HENRY ELLIS, K.H. FM.S. Secretary. Read 22d November, 1838. MY DEAR SIR, Heralds' College, Nov. 13, 1838. THE campaign in the Netherlands, of 1586, will be ever memorable in the English annals for the heroic death of Sir Philip Sidney, one of the brightest ornaments of the reign of Elizabeth. Of a person so illustrious, so deeply imbued with all the virtues and graces of the ancient chivalry, improved in him by science, illuminated by genius, and, above all, purified by a corrected sense and practice of religion, the most minute remains are of profound interest: and they were accordingly sought by his surviving contemporaries with a zeal and fervour which have scarcely abated after the lapse of nearly three centuries. The particular achievement, of which the glory was dearly purchased by the nation with a life of such high desert and promise, and the subsequent incidents, exhibiting the fortitude and magnanimity of the suffering hero, have been described, it may be thought with details sufficiently ample, by writers of the period, both English and foreign : yet, after a reference to all that has hitherto been gathered on the subject, a few gleanings, from authen- tic sources, may still be acceptable to students of our history. 28 Last Achievement, Illness, and Death THE skirmish under the walls of Zutphen, on Thursday the 22nd of Sep- tember in the above year, bears in all its features a lively resemblance to the Faits d'Armes of the Middle Age.

  • Beemster Polder)
    WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 899.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND THE NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Droogmakerij de Beemster (Beemster Polder) DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 4th December 1999 STATE PARTY: NETHERLANDS CRITERIA: C (i)(ii)(iv) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 23rd Session of the World Heritage Committee The Committee inscribed the site on the World Heritage List on the basis of criteria (i), (ii), and (iv): Criterion (i): The Beemster Polder is a masterpiece of creative planning, in which the ideals of antiquity and the Renaissance were applied to the design of a reclaimed landscape. Criterion (ii): The innovative and intellectually imaginative landscape of the Beemster Polder had a profound and lasting impact on reclamation projects in Europe and beyond. Criterion (iv): The creation of the Beemster Polder marks a major step forward in the interrelationship between humankind and water at a crucial period of social and economic expansion. Referring to the particular character of the nominations of the Netherlands, the Observer of the Netherlands informed the Committee that very recently the parliament of the Netherlands had accepted a policy document on the integration of cultural heritage – archaeology, built heritage and cultural landscapes - in national, provincial and local planning policies. World Heritage preservation is explicitly incorporated in this document. The Netherlands would be pleased to share this kind of experience with other States Parties. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS The Beemster Polder, dating from the early 17th century, is the oldest area of reclaimed land in The Netherlands. It has preserved intact its regular landscape of fields, roads, canals, dikes and settlements, laid out in accordance with the principles of classical and Renaissance planning.

    G. A. HENTY BY ENGLAND´S AID 2008 – All rights reserved Non commercial use permitted By England's Aid Or, Or, the Freeing of the Netherlands, 1585-1604 BY G. A. HENTY PREFACE. In my preface to _By Pike and Dyke_ I promised in a future story to deal with the closing events of the War of Independence in Holland. The period over which that war extended was so long, and the incidents were so numerous and varied, that it was impossible to include the whole within the limit of a single book. The former volume brought the story of the struggle down to the death of the Prince of Orange and the capture of Antwerp; the present gives the second phase of the war, when England, who had long unofficially assisted Holland, threw herself openly into the struggle, and by her aid mainly contributed to the successful issue of the war. In the first part of the struggle the scene lay wholly among the low lands and cities of Holland and Zeeland, and the war was strictly a defensive one, waged against overpowering odds. After England threw herself into the strife it assumed far wider proportions, and the independence of the Netherlands was mainly secured by the defeat and destruction of the great Armada, by the capture of Cadiz and the fatal blow thereby struck at the mercantile prosperity of Spain, and by the defeat of the Holy League by Henry of Navarre, aided by English soldiers and English gold. For the facts connected with the doings of Sir Francis Vere and the British contingent in Holland, I have depended much upon the excellent work by Mr.

Its four chapters present representative case studies encompassing a range of media, including prints and paintings, and artistic genres, such as still life, portraiture, landscape, and allegory, from the mid- through the late- seventeenth century. These episodes of exotic gift exchange and their manifestation in art belonged to public and private spheres, the gifting of men and women, and multiple classes of society. In analyzing these images, my methodology draws on close readings; socioeconomic, historical, pictorial, and cultural contexts; gender; and issues in gift theory, including reciprocity, identity, personalization, and commodity/gift status, to explore the pictures’ meanings or functions for their audiences.

There are no known copyright restrictions in the United States on the use of the text. http://www.archive.org/details/cu31924028343998 PREFACE T T would be useless to pretend that this book is authoritatively informing. It is a series of personal impressions of the Dutch country and the Dutch people, gathered during three visits, together with an accretion of matter, more or less pertinent, drawn from many sources, old and new, to which I hope I have given unity. For trustworthy information upon the more serious side of Dutch life and character I would recommend Mr. Meldrum's Holland and tlxe Hollanders. My thanks are due to my friends, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Luden, for saving me from many errors by reading this work in MS. E. V. L.
