Methods of Social Reform METHODS OF SOCIAL REFORM. METHODS OF SOCIAL REFORM AND OTHER PAPERS BY W. STANLEY JEVONS, M.A., LL.D., F.R.S. &mbm MACMILLAN AND CO. 1883 [All sightr rW.1 PREFACE. A FEW words will explain that this volume is a collection of the Essays published under the title of Methods of Social Reform” in The Contemporary Rcckw, and of otherpapers and addresses on kindredsubjects. They extend over a period of fifteen years, and I have given at the commencement of eachpaper the date at which it was written, 89 I have thought it better to arrange them as far &9 I Could according to subjects rather than by date. It was my husband’s inten- tion to have republished these Essays himself, and with this view hehad already revised two of them--“ Experimental Legislation and the Drink Traffic,” and “Amusements of the People ;” to the latter he had added several new paragraphs, He would, I am sure, have carefully edited and revised the others in the same way, but they are now republished just as theywere originally written. The Essay on “The Use and Abnse of Museums ’’ has not before been published. It was chie0y written in 1881, for Contemporary Reuieu~,but wm laid aside from the pressure of other work, and I am unable to say the exact time at which it waa hished.

I. 353 METHODS OF SOCIAL REFORM. AMUSEJIENTS OF THE PEOPLE.* THE possible Methods by which we may hope to accomplish Social Reform are almost infinite in number and variety. As society becomes more complex and the forms of lzumnn activity multiply, so mustmultiply also the points at whichcareful legislation and continuous social effort are required to prevent abuse,and secure the bestutilisation of resources. Nor nro theso Methods of Social Reform to be regarded as alternatives, one or other or a few of which are to be considered sufficient. They are to be advocated and adopted conjunctively, not dis- junctively.Each and all mustbe brought into simultaneous play, if any considerableeffect is to beproduced. It ia common to hear social reformers express disappointment that their efforts seem to bear such slightresults. Schools have beenbuilt, penny readings started, penny banks, libraries, and various useful institutions established, and yet crime and ignorance and drunkenness shorn no apparentdiminution- nay, sometimes they show an increase. But it is altogether a mistake to suppose that a few Methods of Social Reform, almost casually adopted according to the crotchets of the reformer, can be expected to make any serioae impression upon the bad habits of a population-babits 'I Contemporary Review," Ootober, 1878, vol. xxxiii., pp. 498-513. B 2 METHODS OF SOCIALREFORM. which have become confirmed during centuries of i,gnorance nud mistakenlogislation. Time must be a greatelement in rJocial reform, and it is hardly to be expected that any great change can becomemanifest in less thanthe thirty years during which D new generation displaces the older one. But in addition to this consideration, we must remember that it is of comparatively little good to close some flood-gates,while vthorsaro left widc open. If from ignorance or neglect, or, it may bo, from sinister motives, we leavo many of the more importnnt causcs of social n~ischiefin full operation, it is quite likely that our efforts in other directions, however meritorious in themselvc~s,will bo neutnlised.What is needed among social reformers is a long pull, and a strong pull, and espe- cilrlly D pullall together. Each individual may, according to his tastes and prejudices, choose his own strand of the rope, and exert his own force entirely upon that, if he likes; but he must not suppose that ho alone can do any appreciable part of tho work. Ho must bo tolerantthen of thodifferent, or, it mny sometimesappear, tho inconsistent efforts of others. And it would bo well that he should kocp his mind open to conviction, thnt tllcre are other dircctions in which his efforts ujght bo muchmore advantageously devoted. If the citadel of poverty and ignornnceand vice is to be taken at all, it mustbe besieged from every point of the compass-from below, from above, from within; and no kind of arm must be ncglectodwhich will tendto securo the ultimate viatory of morality and culture. It is obvious, of course, thatin any single article it is impossible to treat of morethan one Nethod of Social Reform. In selecting, for the subject of thepresent article, l’ublic Amusements, I must not bo supposed to attribute to it any orclusivo or disproportionate weight. Nevertheless, them is hardly any other Method, taken separately, to which greater importsnce should be attributed then tothe providing of good moral publicamusements, especially musical entertainments. Up to quiterecent years, the English peoplehave, in this respect, been wofdly backward, (as compared with the more cultured Continentalnations. Tbere are still large parts of AMUSEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE, 3 the mauufacturing 5nd more thickly populated districts of the kingdomwhere puro and mtionalrecreation for tho poorer classes can hardly be said to exist at all. The richer classes do not suffer much from this lack of locsl amusement. They take car0 to enjoy thelnsclvos in periodic visits to London, in tours abroad, or iu residence at matoring-places, wlloro snter- tainrnents aro provided.Their amusements on their own estates chiefly consist in shooting, nnd other fo:.ms of sport’, in the prosecution of which they arc led t,o excltldo the mass of tho people, even from tho natural enjoymeuts of tho air and the sun. It is hardly too much to my that the right to dwell freely in a grimy street, to drink freely in tho neigllbouring public-housc, and to walk freelybetween tho high-walled parks and the jcalonsly preserved estates of our lnudowucra, is all that tho just and equal laws of England secure to the mass of the popula t‘ton. England is trndition:dly called ‘I Mcrrio England ;” but themhas always seemed to me to bo somethingabsurdly incongruousintho name at prcsent. It is a case of anachronism, if not of sarcasm.England may have been merry in tho days when tho village green and tho neighbour- ing common werc still unenclosed; when the Blaypole was sot up, and the village fiddler and the old English sports were really existing institutions.But all that sort of thing is a matter of history. Popular festivals, fairs, wakes, and the like, have fallen into disuse or disrapute, and have to a great extent bren suppressed bythe magistrates, on the groundof the riotous and ricious assemblages which they occasioned.* There is no difficulty in seeing that there is a tendency, in England at least, to the progressive degradation of popular amusements. * The fairs of London were for centuries places of popular enjoy- ment such as it was, but hare been all long suppressed, on account, ot the riotous and dissolnteproceedings which they occasioned. May rair, now known only by the name of the fashionable spot where it existed, was suppressed in 1708; Bartholomew Fair, in spite of being occaeioually presented by the pndj my as R. nuisance, ‘‘ next only to that of the pla-yhonses,” lingered on until it died out about fifty yeam afP, being gradually suppressed by the Corporation, who bought up the pmperty. 82 4 METHODS OF SOCIAL REFORM. Manyopportunities of recreationhave gone, for thesame maqon that May Fair, and Bartholomem Fair, and, within the Iastfew years, Knott Mill Fair at Manchester,have gone. Horse-racing, indeed, still survives as a national sport, but it cannotlong bo tolorated,unless it be conducted with more regard to decency and morality. Already the so-called ‘(gate- meetings”in the neighbourhood of themetropolis are do- nounccd as c( an intolerablenuisance,” gathering together, as they do, thescum of theblackguardism and crime of London.* But, if old amusements are by degrees to be suppressed, and no now ones originated, England must indeed be a dull England.Such it has, in fact, becn for a length of time. Taking it on tho averngo, England is as devoid of amusements ~9 a country of such wealth can be. The people seem actually to havo forgotten how to amuse themselves, so that when they do escnpo by an excursion train from thcir depressing alleys, thoro is no provision of music, no harmless games, nor other occupation for the vncnnttime.

  • Kew Observatory and the Evolution of Victorian Science, 1840–1910
    introduction Kew Observatory, Victorian Science, and the “Observatory Sciences” One more recent instance of the operations of this Society in this respect I may mention, in addition to those I have slightly enumerated. I mean the important accession to the means of this Society of a fixed position, a place for deposit, regula- tion, and comparison of instruments, and for many more purposes than I could name, perhaps even more than are yet contemplated, in the Observatory at Kew. Address by Lord Francis Egerton to British Association for the Advancement of Science, June 1842 When in 1842 Lord Egerton, president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS), announced the association’s acquisition of Kew Observatory (figure I.1), he heralded the inaugura- tion of what would become one of the major institutions of nineteenth- century British—indeed international—science. Originally built as a pri- vate observatory for King George III and long in a moribund state, after 1842 the Kew building would, as Egerton predicted, become a multi- functional observatory, put to more purposes than were even imagined in 1842. It became distinguished in several sciences: geomagnetism, me- teorology, solar astronomy, and standardization—the latter term being used in this book to refer to testing scientific instruments and develop- ing prototypes of instruments to be used elsewhere, as well as establish- ing and refining constants and standards of measurement. Many of the major figures in the physical sciences of the nineteenth century were in some way involved with Kew Observatory.

  • Sir Francis Ronalds
    SIR FRANCIS RONALDS Sir Francis Ronalds was a well-known nineteenth-century scientist who came to live at Battle; he died there and is buried in the cemetery. He was the brother in law of Samuel Carter, who built Telham Court, (see Houses and families) and like him a Unitarian. Ronalds's family was based in Brentford, Middlesex, with its first known male moving there from Moidart in Invernessshire by 1754 and living as a nurseryman. He was the grandfather of Sir Francis, who was born on 21 February 1788. The records show Francis's father as a London merchant, which is a term needing much elaboration to determine his social position. Another report states that he was a cheesemonger. Francis was born in Middlesex on 21 February 1788. It is probably not now well-known just how revolutionary the electric telegraph was. It allowed people to communicate almost instantly across any distance and in all weathers, in codes easily translatable into written languages. Before then the only such method was by semaphore signalling, a laborious, line-of-sight system relying on each signaller being able clearly to see the next one in line; this was the process by which urgent messages were sent between London and Portsmouth, for example, during the Napoleonic wars. It was, however, preferable to the earlier use of simple beacons, which would indicate only that there was some form of emergency. The heliograph, which made use of sunlight signals from mirrors, appeared only in the 1820s. The telegraph was the marvel of the age. In 1845, for example, a suspected murderer caught the train at Slough but was noticed; by the time that he arrived at Paddington the police were waiting for him.

With the advent of No 50 it was decided to amalgamate the earlier work and create a single index for all 50 issues. The work involved was a vast undertaking requiring the use of optical character recognition and other computer techniques on the earlier work, and a good deal of careful proof reading. The final product was handsomely produced in A4 size uniform with the Bulletin, running to 64 index pages. Having reached 80 issues, a similar combining exercise has been done, but with fewer categories within the Index. However, whilst the main index of individual topics remains as comprehensive as previously it is presented in a smaller typeface and makes use of more columns. At the time of printing, consideration is being given to the use of this new Index as a facility on the Society's website and also in connection with CDROMs of the Bulletin.

  • Prof. Charles WHEATSTONE and HIS TELEGRAPHS PART I HISTORY
    1 Prof. Charles WHEATSTONE AND HIS TELEGRAPHS ©Fons Vanden Berghen PREFACE. In the past I have written articles about the companies of Louis BREGUET and Werner SIEMENS, their activities in the field of telegraphy and their instruments. So it is high time that I now devote one to Charles WHEATSTONE…. Let it be clear from the beginning: I did not do any research about the life and work of Prof. Ch. Wheatstone. First, I am not in the position to do that, and second, some talented people have already done this thoroughly and with success. That has resulted in splendid books and there are several of them in my library. See the bibliography at the end of this article. SUMMARY [2]. Wheatstone began his life-long involvement with electrical engineering in the days when it was still at the stage of “philosophical toys”. Yet, after having done tests in order to measure the speed of electricity in cables, he had a vision of telecommunications that could deliver printed messages around the world. Working with William F. Cooke he developed the first practical electric telegraph; he also made contributions in the fields of optics and acoustics as well as electrical engineering. He had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the scientific literature in several languages, and made connections which benefited not only his own work but also that of others. His research aided the development of the new King’s College in London into a centre of scientific excellence. Amongst his many inventions were the concertina and the stereoscope, both very popular in the nineteenth century.

Regular article Accepted: 27 September 2019. ABSTRACT Information is very important. Information is also very complicated, making that people have no common understanding and conclusion for the nature of it up today. There are too many papers and some books to describe information; however it is rather difficult to find the description and analysing for the whole history of information from the advent of human beings to the present day. Two parts of information in prehistoric period and the time interred divinization are described. Every part is separated according to several succeeded stages for description. It is near impossible to describe in detail such entire historical facts of information in human society in a paper, so the description and discussion is focused on their comprehensiveness and integrity. By knowing and analysing all these solid historical facts of information, some relative issues e.g. “did information age really exist in the development of material civilization in human society” can be recognized easily.

    ROBYNCATHCART: M.A. CANDIDATEIN MUSICOLOGY THEUNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA, VICTORIA BC -The Singing School of Manuel Garcia IZ- Supervisor: Dr. Gordana Lazarevich December 12,2003 University of Victoria PO Box 1700 STN CSC Victoria, BC V8W 2Y2 Canada Supervisor: Dr. Gordana Lazarevich A~STRACT Manuel Garcia 11 (1805-1906) is perhaps the greatest teacher of voice in history, and his approach, stated in A Complete Treatise on the Art of Singing, Parts One (1841) and Two (1847), became one of the principal methods of vocal instruction during his time. By tracing Garcia 11's methodology, based on the Italian Schools of Singing and be1 canto opera, it will become clear that his type of voice building holds many of the keys needed to unlock the voices of singers today. Analysis of Garcia II's vocal treatises, combined with first hand research conducted with faculty throughout three prominent Canadian university voice programs, will further substantiate the claim that Garcia 11 is a pivotal figure within the landscape of vocal pedagogy, also putting to rest several misconceptions (i.e. vocal onset and the coup de la glotte, and vocal registers) concerning his teachings. Respected internationally for his contributions to the worlds of classical voice and opera, performance practice, voice science, and pedagogy during his lifetime, Garcia II's theories on vocal production remain intact in current vocal pedagogy, despite shifts in the paradigms of musical, cultural, social and vocal aesthetics.

  • The Musical World (1866-1891) Copyright © 2006 RIPM Consortium Ltd Répertoire International De La Presse Musicale ( the Musical World (1866-1891)
    Introduction to: Richard Kitson, The Musical World (1866-1891) Copyright © 2006 RIPM Consortium Ltd Répertoire international de la presse musicale (www.ripm.org) The Musical World (1866-1891) The only comparable British journal in the great tradition of La Revue et Gazette musicale (1835-80), the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik (1834-1909), and the Gazzetta musicale di Milano (1842-1902), and the preeminent nineteenth-century British music journal, The Musical World [MWO] was published weekly in London on Saturdays from 18 March 1836 to 24 January 1891.1 This RIPM publication deals with the journal from 6 January 1866 (Vol. 44, no. 1) to its final issue published on 24 January 1891 (Vol. 71, no. 4),2 namely, twenty-six volumes comprising 1,361 issues.3 Almost all volumes consist of fifty-two issues, the exceptions, 1870, 1875, 1876, 1881 and 1887 have fifty-three, owing to the number of Saturdays in those years. One volume number is assigned to each year with the exception of 1888, for which there are three volume numbers.4 The issues of this year, however, are numbered consecutively from one to fifty-two. From 1866 to 1886 most issues contain sixteen pages. In 1886 occasional increases of four or eight pages are created by the expansion of the advertising sections at the beginning and the end of each issue, and, in 1887, the addition of a weekly supplement “The Organ World.” Throughout, a two-column format is employed. The page numbers assigned to each year are in numerical order beginning with page one through the last page of the given year.
