  • “That Unhappy War of Yours”: Eight Letters from Samuel Laurence to Old Friends in New York City, 1861–1875
    “That unhappy War of yours”: Eight Letters from Samuel Laurence to Old Friends in New York City, 1861–1875 DAVID SOUTHERN Samuel Laurence (circa 1850) Photograph by Anthony Coningham Sterling Copyright © National Portrait Gallery, London AMUEL LAURENCE (1812–84), A PORTRAIT ARTIST WHO SPECIALIZED in literary figures both British and American, was possibly Sborn in Guildford, Surrey, beyond which, at least until recently, nothing was known of his parentage, his education, or any signal events from his formative years, except that at some point he changed the spelling of his last name from Lawrence. CSA 24 2008 6 CARLYLE STUDIES ANNUAL He first exhibited his work in London in 1834 and moved easily in circles of London literati. On 10 August 1836, at All Soul’s Church, Marylebone, he married Anastasia Gliddon, cousin and adopted sister of Katherine Gliddon and sister-in-law of Thornton Leigh Hunt. Perhaps as early as 1840 and certainly by 1844, the Laurences were participants in a “Bohemian Phalanstery” modeled upon the utopian philosophy of Charles Fourier (1772–1837), and it included Thornton and Katherine Hunt, George Henry Lewes, and Mary Ann Evans.1 James Spedding likely introduced Laurence to the Carlyles (see CL 29: 355), and at least ten letters to him from Thomas Carlyle (TC) and one from Jane Welsh Carlyle (JWC) can be found in the New York Public Library (Ray collection), the National Library of Scotland (NLS), the University of California Library, Santa Cruz (Strouse collection), and the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections at Duke University’s Perkins Library. To a letter from TC to his sister Jean Aitken, 6 July 1838, JWC added this piquant postscript: “—only think Carlyle is to have his picture taken again this time by an artist of genius—if it succeeds I mean to buy it of the man[.] It was I formerly that used to be asked to sit for pictures but every dog has its day” (CLO).

He was Sco� sh, of lowly birth, and lacking both social Y ICTORIAN URATE EANDLE A V C connec� ons and private means. He was also a wi� y and fl uent intellectual, whose publica� ons stood alongside the most eminent of his peers during a period when theology was being redefi ned in the light of Darwin’s Origin of Species and other radical scien� fi c advances. Hunt a� racted notoriety and confl ict as well as admira� on and respect: he was A V the subject of ar� cles in Punch and in the wider press concerning his clandes� ne dissec� on of a foetus in the crypt of a City church, while his Essay on Pantheism was proscribed by the Roman Catholic Church.

    Yeovil Town RRC Committee Meeting Minutes Location: St John’s Ambulance, St John’s House, Memorial Road, Houndstone Business Park, Yeovil BA22 8WA Date: 2nd January 2019 Time: 18:30 Attendees: Malcolm Maxted, Steve Warren, Phil MacQuaid, Denise Byrd, Mel Dodge, Anita Rufus, June Moule, Graham Still, Lynne Thumpston, Lesley Nesbitt, Adam Hawkins, Guy Williams Agenda items 1. Apologies for absence – Catherine Thompson, Lindsay Saunders, Simon Rowbottom 2. Minutes of last meeting These were accepted as a true and accurate record. However, there was an omission regarding the names of the qualified Run Leaders and Gary Stickley was missed off. This was corrected. 3. Officer’s reports: Chairman: Malcolm Maxted The Chairman informed the Committee that Fred Fox, who was a member of the Club for many years, died in St Margaret’s Hospice on 20th December. His funeral was held on 28th December and was well attended by members of YTRRC. Fred and Sue regularly changed running clubs and those who do not recall his time at Yeovil will probably have met them at the Park runs. They were always the first to arrive and the last to leave. Phil has spoken to Sue who is happy for the Club to add Fred’s name to the memorial plaque on Ham Hill and naturally we will invite her to join us on our “memorial run”, which is usually in July. A minute’s silence was held in remembrance of Fred. The Chairman reported that Pete Jakeman remains very poorly in West Abbey Nursing Home and thanked all Club members who have visited him.
