This work is intended to set forth the entire Baronetage, giving a short account of all holders of the dignity, as also of their wives, with (as far as can be ascertained) the name and description of the parents of both parties. It is arranged on the same principle as The Complete Peerage (eight vols., 8vo., 1884-98), by the same Editor, save that the more convenient form of an alphabetical arrangement has, in this case, had to be abandoned for a chronological one; the former being practically impossible in treating of a dignity in which every holder may (and very many actually do) bear a different name from the grantee. (*) Baronetcies, will, accordingly, be here treated of according to the date of their creation; thus, the reign of James I will be first dealt with and will comprise the Unglish Baronetcies (1611-1625) and the Irish Baronetcies (1619-1625) conferred by that King ; then will follow the reign of Charles I, which will comprise the Unglish, Irish and Scotch (or Nova Scotia) Baronetcies (these last having been first instituted in this reign in 1625) conferred (1625-1649) by that King. See fuller prospectus on p. 272. The date of creation is put within square brackets after each Baronet, inasmuch as the territorial description of a grantee (a description which, in many caseSjC") does not exist) is not, by (*) Besides the cases (more numerous than would be imagined) where the heir, by royal licence, or otherwise, has changed his name, there are many Baronetcies granted with special remainder to famiUes of a different name to cr. that of the grantee, e.g., Foots, 1660, with rem. to Onslow ; Bowtek, cr. cr. 1678 with rem. to Gorinq ; Babkow, 1784, with rem. to Cbawlet- Boevey, etc. of Francis Cottington, cr. (*>) Thus for instance, the description a Bart, by is simply "Secretary to Charles, Prince of I James I, 15 Feb. 1622/3, Wales"; that of Thomas Aylesbury, cr. a Bart, by Charles I, 29 April 1627, is ''one of the Masters of Requests," while, later on, in 1746, William Gooch was cr. a Bart, as "Lieut. Governor of Virginia''; in 1755, Horatio Mann as "Envoy at VI PREFACE. where the grant of a Baronetcy, made hereditary. In a few cases same two Baronetcies of the same name have been created in the date, year, the numerals "1" and "2" are added after such thus, in the case of the two Baronetcies of Molyneux, "[1611(1)]" that year, signifies that it was the first of that name created in- and "[1611(2)] t^at it was the second so created. " The letters " [S.] " and " [I.] put before the date of creation, denote severally that the Baronetcy is one of "Scotland" (or Nova Scotia) or of Ireland. The letters " [E.] " for England, the Court of Florence"; in 1764, George Brydges Rodney as " Vice Admiral"; in 1765, Charles Knowles as "Admiral of the Blue"; in 1766, John Moore as " Admiral of the Red." Thus in a single year, 1813, we have the Baronetcies of Sheaffe, " Major General "; of Duckworth, " Admiral of the Blue "; of Cakes, "Lieut. General"; of Rowley, " Capt, R.N."; of Broke, " Capt. R.N."; and of Hewett, " General in the Army." In the next year, 1814, we have the Baronetcies of Beresford, "Capt. R.N."; of Grey, "Capt. R.N."; of Wylie, "Physician to the Emperor of Russia"; of Blackwood, "Rear Admiral"; of CoUier, "Capt. R.N."; of Hoste, "Capt. R.N." In the next year, 1815, we have those of " " " Hamilton, Lieut. Gen." ; of Campbell, Lieut. Gen." ; of McMahon, Master " of the Rolls in Ireland " ; of Campbell, Lieut. Colonel." In the next year, 1816, those of Ochterlony "Major General"; of Brownrigg, "Lieut. General"; of Ogle, "Admiral of the Red"; of Floyd, "General in the Army," and of Elphinstone, "Lieut. Colonel." In 1660, the territorial description "of London" was given to Gould, Adams, Allen, Humble, Robinson, Brown, Backhouse, " Cutler, Foote, and Gardiner, grantees of Baronetcies ; in like manner, that of Westminster," in 1662, to Long; in 1698, to Germaine; in 1723, to Frederick; etc. In many cases (probably most) the estate by which the grantee is described, has been alienated by one of his successors in the dignity, as, for instance (to go no further than the first Baronetcy), was that " of Redgrave, co. Suffolk," about 1690, by Sir Robert Bacon, the 5th Baronet [1611]. In that family the following curious incident occurred as to the territorial designation " of Gillingham, co. Norfolk," being that of Nicholas Bacon, the grautee of a Baronetcy in 1662. That Baronetcy became extinct in 1685, when the estate of Gilling- ham devolved on the last holder's cousin. Sir Henry Bacon, 3d Bart. [1627], whose ancestor had been cr. u, Bart, in 1627, as "of Mildenhall, co. Suffolk." The estate of Mildenhall, however, had been alienated before 1685, at which date the holder of the Baronetcy of Bacon, which, in 1627, was " of Milden- hall " became (by possession of the estate) " of Gillingham,," though the Baronetcy of Bacon, which, in 1662, was " of GilUngham," was extinct. In 1765, the Baronetcy of Bacon, which, in 1611, was "of Redgrave" (an estate, which had long since been aUenated) devolved on the 8th Baronet of the creation of 1627, and the two Baronetcies (1611 and 1627) became united and continue to be so held by his posterity. PREFACE. Vll " [G.B.] " for Great Britain, and " [U.K.] " for the United Kingdom, are sometimes used (when required for the sake of clearness), but must be understood when absent. The index at the end of each volume will shew the surname of every holder (being a Commoner) of any Baronetcy created during the period treated of therein, while a general index at the end of the work (the incorporation of all these several indexes) will shew the same during the entire period. As to the term " Baronet," it is here used in the same sense as it was by Thomas Fuller in his Worthies, who (under Sir John Darell, Bart., of Berkshire) writes, "We meddle not with ancient Babonets, finding that word promiscuously blended with Banneeets (Sir Ralph Fane in a patent(») passed unto him [by Edward VI in 1550] is expressly termed a Baronet) but insist on their new erection in [1611] the ninth of Eling James. "('') Baronetcies of England were instituted (as above stated) by James I, on 22 May 1611, who also, on 30 Sep. 1619, instituted Baronetcies of Ireland, while Baronetcies of Scotland, or of Nova Scotia, were instituted by Charles I on 26 May 1625. The creation of the last two classes ceased respectively at the date of the Union with Scotland, 1 May 1707, and with Ireland, 1 Jan. 1801. After the first date. Baronetcies of Great Britain took the place of English and Scotch Baronetcies till the last date, since which, all creations are styled Baronetcies of the United Kingdom. Much interesting and original information respecting " the institution and early history of the dignity of Baronet " is given in The Herald amd Genealogist (vol. iii, pp. 193-212, 341-352, 449-458) in an article, so headed, contributed by its learned and (°) In the Oenealogical Magazine (vol. iii, p. 55) this grant (Pat. Roll, 4 Ed. VI) " of the order, state, rank, honour and dignity of a. Baronet," is set out in full. C") Besides Sir Halph Fane, or Vane, above mentioned, whose dignity seems to have been but personal, William de la Pole and his heirs had (according to Sir Robert Cotton, the Antiquary) letters patent of 13 Ed. Ill [1339], conferring on them the dignity of a Baronet in return for a sum of money; a precedent more in accordance with the Baronetcies conferred by James I. " By the statutes of Richard II, every Archbishop, Bishop, Abbot, Prior, Duke, Earl, Baron, Baronet and Knight of the Shire, was commanded to appear in Parliament, according to ancient usage, and in an attaint, under Henry VI, one of the jury challenged himself because his ancestors had been Baronets and Seigneurs des Parlesments." [Debrett's Baronetage, etc., p. zxxiii, edit. 1900]. Viii PREFACE. stated accomplished editor, John Gough Nichols. In this it is himself, his heirs and (p. 346) that though James I engaged "for of successors," that the number of Baronets in the Kingdom England should never exceed 200, and that, though he eventually created 204 (or 205, if Vavasour, a creation of 22 June 1631, with the precedency of 29 June 1611, be reckoned) yet "he did not depart from his bargain, inasmuch as five vacancies had arisen, not by extinction, but by promotion to the peerage, mz.

    ‘Daylight upon magic’: Stained Glass and the Victorian Monarchy Michael Ledger-Lomas If it help, through the senses, to bring home to the heart one more true idea of the glory and the tenderness of God, to stir up one deeper feeling of love, and thankfulness for an example so noble, to mould one life to more earnest walking after such a pattern of self-devotion, or to cast one gleam of brightness and hope over sorrow, by its witness to a continuous life in Christ, in and beyond the grave, their end will have been attained.1 Thus Canon Charles Leslie Courtenay (1816–1894) ended his account of the memorial window to the Prince Consort which the chapter of St George’s Chapel, Windsor had commissioned from George Gilbert Scott and Clayton and Bell. Erected in time for the wedding of Albert’s son the Prince of Wales in 1863, the window attempted to ‘combine the two ele- ments, the purely memorial and the purely religious […] giving to the strictly memorial part, a religious, whilst fully preserving in the strictly religious part, a memorial character’. For Courtenay, a former chaplain- in-ordinary to Queen Victoria, the window asserted the significance of the ‘domestic chapel of the Sovereign’s residence’ in the cult of the Prince Consort, even if Albert’s body had only briefly rested there before being moved to the private mausoleum Victoria was building at Frogmore. This window not only staked a claim but preached a sermon. It proclaimed the ‘Incarnation of the Son of God’, which is the ‘source of all human holiness, the security of the continuousness of life and love in Him, the assurance of the Communion of Saints’.

And Sold by James Parker & Co., 377, Strand, and at Oxford; and by Burns & Oates, Portman Street, W. 1878. PEEFACE. HE publication in four successive numbers of The Whitehall Review of the names of those Protestants who have become Catholics since the Tractarian move ment, led to the almost general suggestion that Rome's Recruits should be permanently embodied in a pamphlet. This has now been done. The lists which appeared in The Whitehall Review have been carefully revised, corrected, and considerably augmented ; and the result is the compilation of what must be regarded as the first List of Converts to Catholicism of a reliable nature. While the idea of issuing such a statement of" Perversions " or " Conversions " was received with unanimous favour — for the silly letter addressed to the Morning Post by Sir Edward Sullivan can only be regarded as the wild effusion of an ultra-Protestant gone very wrong — great curiosity has been manifested as to the sources from whence we derived our information. The modus operandi was very simple. Possessed of a considerable nucleus, our hands were strengthened immediately after the appearance of the first list by 071 XT PREFACE. the co-operation of nearly all the converts themselves, who hastened to beg the addition of their names to the muster-roll.

The Carnegie Library at Ashton-in-Makerfield was formally opened on Saturday, 1 7 th March, 1906. The new library was (and still is) an imposing structure standing at the junction of Wigan Road and Old Road.

The interest with which I have read his pages will I am sure be shared by all who have at heart the well-being of an Institution which occupies a unique place in English history, although happily there is not anything unique nowadays in the endeavour which the Magdalen Hospital makes in face of a gigantic evil. The story Mr. Compston tells gives abundant evidence of the change for the better in public opinion regarding this crying wrong and its remedy. It shows too the growth of a sounder judg- ment as to the methods of dealing with it. For every reason it is right that this book should have been written, and Mr.

Gentlemen : I have to thank you for the honour you have conferred upon me in raising me to the post of President of this Branch, and I need hardly assure you that I am deeply sensible of the importance and of the responsibilities of my position. It was well said by the wisest man of old, that as iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. When I look around on the keen and friendly countenances assembled here to-day, I feel, therefore, very hopeful, as a comparatively junior member, that my intelli- gence will be considerably sharpened before I come to the end of my tenure of office.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.
