Since the Club's inception Anne has served continuously on the committee and held office as secretary. In 1980 she became one of the first to receive the accolade of Honorary Membership. She became a delegate to the Ayrshire Association of Burns Clubs in 1975 and four years later became the first lady to hold the office of Secretary and Treasurer of the Association. She served in this dual capacity with considerable flair and distinction and after four years was elected Vice President, and subsequently became President of the Association. In 1979 Anne became District Representative for Ayrshire on the Executive of the Burns Federation and since then has served on the Schools and Literature sub-committees. In March 1985 she became Advertisements Manager of the Burns Chronicle, and since 1986 she has carried out a similar duty in respect of The Burnsian. Irvine has enjoyed many varied and successful concerts during the Burns Festival Weeks, organised by Anne in her capacity as a committee member. In recent years she has played a leading role in organising an annual Seminar of Burns Studies, which has made a major contribution to contemporary Burns scholarship. In addition to being a popular adjudicator of verse speaking competitions, Anne is much sought after during the Burns Supper season when her keen knowledge of the poet combined with her own lively wit makes her much in demand. Anne still finds time to be an active member of the Busbichill and Troon Ladi~s Burns Clubs, and the Irvine Newtown Operatic Society never ceases to be amazed at the enthusiasm which she applied as their Publicity Manager. The success of the Irvine (1981) and Kilmarnock (1986) Burns Conferences was due in no small measure to Anne's infinite capacity for hard work, especially the latter in her role as secretary. In 1986 history was made when Anne was elected Junior Vice President of the Burns Federation; for the first time one Ayrshire l~ss was followiMg another (Enez Logan) in the succession towards the Presidency. Anne took over the chain of office from Enez at the Conference in Hamilton, Ontario and during her presidential year has probably travelled more widely and visited more clubs than any of her predecessors. Her abiding ambition is to do more to encourage young people to develop a genuine love of Burns, and to this end she is formulating a project for Junior Burns Clubs. Given her tireless energy and absolute dedication to the task we are confident that Anne will sec it through to a successful conclusion. 5 From The Editor In the past twelve months I have visited Australia and the United States four times each, Canada, Singapore and Hong Kong three times, and seven other countries in the Pacific and South-east Asia, from New Zealand to Japan. By the time you read this I shall probably be somewhere in transit between San Francisco and Hong Kong. Most of this globe-trotting, I admit, has been on numismatic business of one sort or another but en passant I did manage to attend the Annual Conference in Hamilton, Ontario last July and at various times throughout the year I met fellow-Burnsians in Hong Kong, Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Dunedin. I have happy memories of good fellowship with the Burnsians of Sydney at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Allen-of Ryde who laid on an impromptu lunch cum ceilidh that stretched on into the evening one Sunday last November when I had just flown in from Singapore. Charles Murray and I ended up in the wee sma' hours in May Dickie's apartment in Manly. In March this year I spent a very pleasant day with John Sinclair of the Sydney Club and together we re-visited the cairn which was Scotland's contribution to the Australian Bicentennial. I am sorry that I missed the unveiling ceremony on St Andrew's Day, but I can claim to have seen the cairn before and after the event. At the end of March this year I had the pleasure of proposing the Immortal Memory at the annual dinner of the Melbourne Burns Club, in the vast ballroom of Moorabbin Town Hall, This was, in many respects, the most memorable experience I have ever had, certainly in the Burns context. On my arrival at Tullamarine Airport on the Tuesday morning after Easter, I was met by the indefatigable and quite unsuppressable Tom Paterson, and Club President Bill Schrank. Instead of seeing me safely bedded down in a quiet and darkened room to recover from jet lag - I had, after all, just flown in from New Zealand - I was whisked all over the City as Tom and Bill attended to a hundred and one matters concerning the imminent Annual Dinner. At 2.15 p.m. we visited the offices of Bill Burns Peat, Master of Ceremonies at the Dinner, but a partner in a busy architectural practice in South Melbourne. We pushed open the front door, walked in and were mildly surprised to find the receptionist's desk vacant. Indeed, there was a somewhat deserted air about the building. No one seemed to be about, but we waited patiently for Bill to return from a protracted lunch. Tom was just penning a brief note to Bill before we left, when suddenly there was a screech of. tyres in the street outside and two burly policemen toting revolvers burst through the door. It later transpired that office cleaners over the Easter weekend had set the alarms but forgotten to lock the front door, and we had unwittingly walked in while the office was still closed for the holiday. We had triggered off the alarm in the local police station ... Delegates to the Hamilton Conference will doubtless be well aware that Tom Paterson has the gift o' the gab. He had to summon all his powers of eloquence to talk himself out of this ticklish situation. Fortunately Tom was well connected; the Hon. Steve Crabb, Minister of Police in the Government of Victoria, just happens to be Patron of the Club. It is amazing what a bit of influence in high places can do sometimes! A couple of days later, on the pretext of getting me to check the acoustics in the Town Hall, I was lured - nay, hijacked - into humping the decorations from Tom's garage and helping to erect them. I think I can safely claim that this was my first ever DIY Burns Supper. Normally the first glimpse I get of the venue is when I am being piped in with the other VIPs. This was compensated for, however, by getting the opportunity to try the mighty Wurlitzer on the stage - one of only four organs of this particular type ever constructed. Came the Big Night itself and, inevitably, The best laid schemes o mice and men ... 'The sound system collapsed early on and, instead of delivering my oration from a lectern on the top table, I had to traipse the length of the hall, before the assembled multitude (570 in all) and perform from the stage at the far end. Two incidents without precedent took place. I told the story of Jean-Paul Kauffman, the French hostage held in Lebanon who, on gaining his freedom last year, astounded everyone by reciting the poems of Burns in the vernacular. Seems he was held manacled and blindfold in a cellar in Beirut along with an American, Terry Anderson, who, to preserve their sanity, recited all the poems he 6 knew including many works of the Bard.

    MARMOREALITIES: CLASSICAL NAKEDNESS IN BRITISH SCULPTURE AND HISTORICAL PAINTING 1798-1840 CORA HATSHEPSUT GILROY-WARE PH.D UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT Exploring the fortunes of naked Graeco-Roman corporealities in British art achieved between 1798 and 1840, this study looks at the ideal body’s evolution from a site of ideological significance to a form designed consciously to evade political meaning. While the ways in which the incorporation of antiquity into the French Revolutionary project forged a new kind of investment in the classical world have been well-documented, the drastic effects of the Revolution in terms of this particular cultural formation have remained largely unexamined in the context of British sculpture and historical painting. By 1820, a reaction against ideal forms and their ubiquitous presence during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wartime becomes commonplace in British cultural criticism. Taking shape in a series of chronological case-studies each centring on some of the nation’s most conspicuous artists during the period, this thesis navigates the causes and effects of this backlash, beginning with a state-funded marble monument to a fallen naval captain produced in 1798-1803 by the actively radical sculptor Thomas Banks. The next four chapters focus on distinct manifestations of classical nakedness by Benjamin West, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Stothard together with Richard Westall, and Henry Howard together with John Gibson and Richard James Wyatt, mapping what I identify as

This profile provides detailed information on total sickness-related benefit claimants (incapacity benefit, IB and Employment Support Allowance, ESA claimants) from 2000 to 2009, ESA claimants from 2009 and ESA claimants by medical condition for 2010 (broken down by age, duration of claim, stage of claim and ethnicity). 2. The profile contains data for Scotland, Glasgow City, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, Renfrewshire, West Dunbartonshire. 3. The percent of the working age population (WAP) claiming IB in Glasgow City decreased from 18.8% in 2000 to 14.4% by 2007. Following the introduction of ESA in October 2008, the WAP in receipt of total sickness-related benefit has continued to follow the general linear decline observed for IB but the rate is not falling as steeply. By 2009, 13.5% of the WAP in Glasgow were claiming sickness benefit compared to 9.1% in Scotland. Similar trends are observed in the other geographies. 4. The rate of on flow decreased in Scotland and Glasgow City prior to the introduction of ESA. From 2008 there have been small increases in IB/ESA on flow rates. By 2009, total sickness benefit was in excess of the level observed for 2005 with the rate of on flow currently at 3.9% in Glasgow.

Thomas Keith A Discography of Robert Bums 1948 to 2002 After Sir Walter Scott published his edition of border ballads he came to be chastised by the mother of James Hogg, one Margaret Laidlaw, who told him: "There was never ane 0 my sangs prentit till ye prentit them yoursel, and ye hae spoilt them awthegither. They were made for singing an no forreadin: butye hae broken the charm noo, and they'll never be sung mair.'l Mrs. Laidlaw was perhaps unaware that others had been printing Scottish songs from the oral tradition in great numbers for at least the previous hundred years in volumes such as Allan Ramsay's The Tea-Table Miscellany (1723-37), Orpheus Caledonius (1733) compiled by William Thompson, James Oswald's The Cale­ donian Pocket Companion (1743, 1759), Ancient and Modern Scottish Songs (1767, 1770) edited by David Herd, James Johnson's Scots Musical Museum (1787-1803) and A Select Collection of Original Scotish Airs (1793-1818) compiled by George Thompson-substantial contributions having been made to the latter two collections by Robert Burns.
