The poem has never been adequately annotated before, though it is richly intertextual in its sources and ambitiously interdisciplinary in its concerns. In recovering the poem from relative critical neglect, both these aspects of it need attention, and we thought the most effective way to offer this was to catalogue in the notes both‖Dyer’s‖sources‖and‖his‖contributions‖to‖social,‖economic‖and‖cultural‖life.‖ The notes also identify stylistic points of interest, since the poem has had little critical discussion of this sort. Our text is that of the first edition, the only text seen through the press by its author, with a small number of authorial and typographic corrections (these are listed at the back of the book). The present electronic edition was prepared by John Goodridge. John Goodridge would like to thank Juan Pellicer for joining forces to bring the edition to press, and for his encouragement and kindness; Gill Goodridge for extensive and invaluable help with the annotation; Meggie Goodridge and Strawberry Roth for help on textile history; Alison Ramsden for her support over many years. Others who kindly shared ideas or offered support include John Barrell, Howard Erskine-Hill, Tim Fulford, John Gilmore, Belinda Humfrey, Bridget Keegan, Claire Lamont, Donna Landry, John‖Lucas,‖and‖Dyer’s‖descendants‖Fabian‖T.‖Smith‖and‖Violet‖Smith. Among those who are no longer with us, Pete Goodridge (1955-2017), always the best and most stimulating and supportive of brothers, provided the vital spark that ignited our research on agricultural history in The Fleece, and his voice may be heard in many of the footnotes to book I on this subject. Another family member, the late Revd Ernest Goodridge (1921-2001) helped out‖on‖the‖analysis‖and‖annotation‖of‖Dyer’s‖spirirual‖beliefs.‖Dr‖Robin Dix, who‖worked‖on‖Dyer’s‖friend and advisor Mark Akenside, and Professor Sandra Harris, formerly Dean of Humanities at Nottingham Trent University, also lent their support. Juan Christian Pellicer would like to thank his co-editor for years of encouragement and generosity. He is also grateful for the help and kindness of Christine Gerrard, John Gilmore, Tom Keymer, Merete Ruud, Maren-Sofie Røstvig, and Bjørn Tysdahl. The editors owe particular thanks to David Fairer, who in addition to his many other kindnesses generously undertook to read the manuscript for us, and to Peter Widdowson and the Cyder Press who first took on this project. We also thank the staffs of the Brotherton Library, University of Leeds; Durham Cathedral Library; the John Rylands University Library, Manchester; the National Library of Wales; and Nottingham‖Trent‖University.‖Materials‖from‖Dyer’s‖notebooks‖are‖ reproduced by permission of The National Library of Wales/ Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru. INTRODUCTION The Fleece has been described by the critic John Barrell as the most comprehensive and well-informed poem of its kind in English. This kind is the georgic, a form of didactic verse that follows the conventions of the Roman‖poet‖Virgil’s‖four-book agricultural poem, the Georgics (c. 36-29 BCE). Before embarking on the Georgics, Virgil had written the Eclogues (completed 37 BCE). This collection of ten poems transplanted and refined aspects of an earlier‖Greek‖model,‖the‖Sicilian‖poet‖Theocritus’‖Idylls (third century BCE), and established the pastoral tradition in Western literature. If this tradition represents human life through its founding fiction of the reflective life of shepherds,‖sometimes‖linked‖to‖a‖‘golden‖age’,‖then‖georgic‖represents‖life‖ through its own, rather sterner founding fiction, which is that of being non- fiction. It typically gives instructions on the practical tasks of farmers, and describes‖the‖rural‖world‖from‖a‖scientific‖perspective.‖Just‖as‖Virgil’s‖Eclogues drew on a Greek precursor, so the Georgics naturalised into Roman culture that‖most‖ancient‖of‖Greek‖poems,‖Hesiod’s‖Works and Days (eighth century BCE). Virgil’s‖‘proem’‖to‖the‖Georgics (I, 1-42) not only sets out his topics— tillage, the training of trees and vines, the care of domestic animals, and bee- keeping—but invokes a host of mythological figures associated with the countryside, and links these with Caesar (i.e. Octavian, the soon-to-be emperor Augustus, 63 BCE-14 CE), thus implying deep continuities between the rustic, imperial, and divine worlds. Virgil composed the Georgics in hopeful anticipation of a new era of peace and prosperity under Augustus, to heal the wounds of a country that had suffered nearly a century of civil wars and political turbulence. In the Georgics, the hard toil of agriculture is the vital precondition—and not a simple guarantee—of whatever good society may achieve (I, 118-59). At the end of Georgics I, Virgil imagines future farmers ploughing up relics of the long since forgotten civil wars—rusty javelins and helmets—and gazing with wonder at the giant human bones they have turned up (493-9).‖But‖that‖is‖still‖far‖in‖the‖future:‖even‖in‖the‖poem’s‖present,‖ reflecting the earlier period of its composition, Italy is still troubled by wars. Pruning hooks are still being forged into swords (I, 505-8). In‖the‖eighteenth‖century‖Virgil’s‖Georgics was imitated because it offered a model for understanding the workings of a national economy. By emphasizing the beneficial effects of industriousness throughout the network of labouring and commercial communities (which in georgic defines the nation), the georgic promised to prevent the social corruption associated with luxurious wealth. Georgic was revived and revitalized as poets boldly extended the form to include new topics, ranging from cider-making to sugar-production, hunting to botany. The Fleece is concerned with the wool trade,‖and‖follows‖the‖progress‖of‖the‖fleece‖from‖the‖sheep’s‖back,‖through‖ the various processes of textile manufacture, to its exportation abroad along the arteries of global commerce. Book I introduces the reader to shepherding and the rural world, Book II discusses the treatment of wool and surveys the history of the woollen industry, Book III describes textile manufacture, and Book IV explores the network of trade routes across both hemispheres. Along the way there are numerous digressions. For instance, we learn about shearing festivals on the banks of the river Severn (I, 601-720), about Jason and the Golden Fleece (II, 212-310), about a Yorkshire workhouse equipped with the very latest textile-processing machinery (III, 259-302), and about the heroic voyages of Captain George Anson (IV, 599-653). The poem is driven forward by an urgent, self-confident didacticism. Unlike its cousin the pastoral, which while focusing on the reflective life of shepherds is less concerned to provide detailed descriptions of their labours, georgic is centrally preoccupied with work, which it depicts as a morally and socially progressive activity. Dyer has little doubt that productive labour is the most important remedy for social and economic ills, or that commerce is the glue that holds civilisation together. He can see nothing wrong in the workhouse where children labour through the day (III, 281-5), and nothing right‖in‖the‖lifestyle‖of‖the‖nomadic‖people‖of‖western‖Siberia‖he‖calls‖the‖‘lazy‖ Ostiacs’‖(IV,‖453-63). Three centuries on we are unlikely to share his certainties, but we can still learn much from his practical-minded idealism, his willingness‖to‖engage‖with‖topics‖often‖thought‖too‖‘low’‖for‖poetry,‖and‖ the fascinating detail his painterly hand gives to much of what he describes. Like‖the‖‘Lunar‖Men’‖of‖the‖next‖generation‖who‖would‖dream‖up‖many‖of‖ the inventions of the modern world, Dyer in The Fleece shows the eighteenth century in its boldest and most creative mood, full of enlightenment confidence in the perfectibility of human experience. John Dyer was born on 13 August 1699 in Carmarthenshire, described in The Fleece in pastoral‖language‖as‖‘that‖soft‖tract‖/‖Of‖Cambria,‖deep-embay’d,‖ Dimetian‖land,‖/‖By‖green‖hills‖fenc’d,‖by‖ocean’s‖murmur‖lull’d;‖/‖Nurse‖of‖ the‖rustic‖bard,‖who‖now‖resounds‖/‖The‖fortunes‖of‖the‖fleece’‖(III,‖436-40). He claims Flemish ancestry in the passage that follows this. There may be some truth in this, but the Dyers were an old Anglo-Welsh family that had produced two mayors of Kidwelly/ Cydwelli.‖Dyer’s‖father‖was‖a‖successful‖ lawyer, and the family had acquired the house at Aberglasney whose setting inspired‖Dyer’s‖most‖famous‖poem,‖‘Grongar‖Hill’‖(1726),‖and‖which‖has‖ fairly recently been restored and opened to the public. He was educated at Westminster School, but instead of going on to Oxford like his brothers, he returned home to learn his father’s‖profession.‖Law‖did‖not‖suit‖him,‖ however,‖and‖on‖his‖father’s‖death‖he‖went‖to‖London‖to‖study‖as‖a‖painter‖ under Jonathan Richardson.

  • Lesson 6.Pmd
    Natural Ecosystem MODULE - 2 Ecological Concepts and Issues 6 Notes NATURAL ECOSYSTEM Whenever you travel long distance you come across changing patterns of landscape. As you move out from your city or village, you see croplands, grasslands, or in some areas a forests, desert or a mountainous region. These distinct landscapes are differentiated primarily due to the type of vegetation in these areas. Physical and geographical factors such as rainfall, temperature, elevation, soil type etc. determine the nature of the vegetation. In this lesson you will learn about the natural ecosystems with their varied vegetation and associated wildlife. OBJECTIVES After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • list the various natural ecosystems; • describe the various terrestrial ecosystems; • describe the various aquatic ecosystems (fresh water, marine and estuarine); • recognize ecotones, their significance and the edge effect. • list the major Indian ecosystems; • list the threatened ecosystems-mangrove, wetlands, coastal ecosystems and islands; • explain the need and methods of conservation of natural ecosystems. 6.1 WHAT ARE NATURAL ECOSYSTEMS A natural ecosystem is an assemblage of plants and animals which functions as a unit and is capable of maintaining its identity such as forest, grassland, an estuary, human intervention is an example of a natural ecosystem. A natural ecosystem is totally dependent on solar energy. There are two main categories of ecosystems. 95 MODULE - 2 Environmental Science Senior Secondary Course Ecological Concepts and Issues (1) Terrestrial ecosystem: Ecosystems found on land e.g. forest, grasslands, deserts, tundra. (2) Aquatic ecosystem: Plants and animal community found in water bodies. These can be further classified into two sub groups.

    Contents Foreword p2/ Preface p3/ Overview p4/ Current initiatives p12/ Challenges and way forward p25/ International examples p28/Sources p32/ Glossary p36/ FICCI Security Department p38 Smart border management: Indian coastal and maritime security September 2017 www.pwc.in Dr Sanjaya Baru Secretary General Foreword 1 FICCI India’s long coastline presents a variety of security challenges including illegal landing of arms and explosives at isolated spots on the coast, infiltration/ex-filtration of anti-national elements, use of the sea and off shore islands for criminal activities, and smuggling of consumer and intermediate goods through sea routes. Absence of physical barriers on the coast and presence of vital industrial and defence installations near the coast also enhance the vulnerability of the coasts to illegal cross-border activities. In addition, the Indian Ocean Region is of strategic importance to India’s security. A substantial part of India’s external trade and energy supplies pass through this region. The security of India’s island territories, in particular, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, remains an important priority. Drug trafficking, sea-piracy and other clandestine activities such as gun running are emerging as new challenges to security management in the Indian Ocean region. FICCI believes that industry has the technological capability to implement border management solutions. The government could consider exploring integrated solutions provided by industry for strengthening coastal security of the country. The FICCI-PwC report on ‘Smart border management: Indian coastal and maritime security’ highlights the initiatives being taken by the Central and state governments to strengthen coastal security measures in the country.

Brodnikov* Petr E. Podalko** The penetration of the Russian people into Siberia probably began more than a thousand years ago. Old Russian chronicles mention that already in the 11th century, the northwestern part of Siberia, then known as Yugra1), was a “volost”2) of the Novgorod Land3). The Novgorod ush- * Associate Professor, Novosibirsk State University ** Professor, Aoyama Gakuin University 1) Initially, Yugra was the name of the territory between the mouth of the river Pechora and the Ural Mountains, where the Finno-Ugric tribes historically lived. Gradually, with the advancement of the Russian people to the East, this territorial name spread across the north of Western Siberia to the river Taz. Since 2003, Yugra has been part of the offi cial name of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug: Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug—Yugra. 2) Volost—from the Old Russian “power, country, district”—means here the territo- rial-administrative unit of the aboriginal population with the most authoritative leader, the chief, from whom a certain amount of furs was collected. 3) Novgorod Land (literally “New City”) refers to a land, also known as “Gospodin (Lord) Veliky (Great) Novgorod”, or “Novgorod Republic”, with its administrative center in Veliky Novgorod, which had from the 10th century a tendency towards autonomy from Kiev, the capital of Ancient Kievan Rus. From the end of the 11th century, Novgorod de-facto became an independent city-state that subdued the entire north of Eastern Europe.

Two altars of rough Hone are ftill landing there ; but, from the coarfenefs of the materials, the letters infcribed upon them are indiftincliy engraven, and the Infcription itfelf is incor- rectly written, as is common among barbarous people. I deter- mined therefore to erect altars of marble, and to engrave the In- fcription in well marked and diftinct characters. Your Statue, which Hands there, has merit in the idea of the figure, and of the defign, as it reprefents You pointing towards the fea; but it bears no refemblance to the Original, and the execution is in other re- fpects but indifferent. Send therefore a Statue worthy to be called Yours, and of a fimilar delign to the one which is there at prefent, b as 2 ARYAN'S PERIPLUS as the fituation is well calculated for perpetuating, by thefe means, the memory of any illuftrious perfon.
