The Reverend Vicesimus Knox Ii, Dd THE REVEREND VICESIMUS KNOX II, D.D. “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Vicesimus Knox HDT WHAT? INDEX VICESIMUS KNOX THE REVEREND VICESIMUS KNOX II, D.D. 1752 December 8, Friday: Vicesimus Knox II was born at Newington Green, Middlesex.1 He was the son of the Reverend Vicesimus Knox, LL.B., a fellow of St. John’s College, Oxford2 who was a Master3 of Merchant Tailors’ School. He would receive an excellent education until the age of 14 at home with his father, and then in a high class at a grammar school run by Livery Companies, known as Merchant Taylors’ School. Benjamin Franklin had designed a flexible catheter and had one constructed by a Philadelphia silversmith, out of a coil of silver wire covered with gut, with joints to allow flexibility. On this day he posted the device to Boston because his brother John Franklin was having a problem of urine retention due to bladder stones. 1. “Vicesimus” is Latin for 20th. Vicesimus or Vicesima would be the name given to the 20th child in a Roman family, depending on whether the infant was male or female. Although the Reverend Vicesimus Knox was not the 20th child of his father, his father’s name was Vicesimus. 2. St John’s, a well endowed school, had been founded in 1555 by a merchant, Sir Thomas White, in the buildings of an old Cisterian school, the College of St Bernard, shuttered since King Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries. The college was initially for the training of Anglican clergymen although it is now known for law and medicine. 3. Note: a Master, not the Headmaster — which was the Reverend James Townley, author of HIGH LIFE BELOW STAIRS. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE REVEREND VICESIMUS KNOX II, D.D. VICESIMUS KNOX 1771 Just before his 19th birthday, Vicesimus Knox II was elected to a fellowship at his father’s alma mater, St. John’s College of Oxford University. He would remain at this institution for an unusually long period, eight years, studying the classics like a man possessed. HDT WHAT? INDEX VICESIMUS KNOX THE REVEREND VICESIMUS KNOX II, D.D. 1777 As recommended by Dr. Johnson, the Reverend Vicesimus Knox II, D.D.’s educational ideas appeared anonymously in this year in one volume as ESSAYS, MORAL AND LITERARY, ON A LARGE LETTER (London: Printed for E. and Charles Dilly, in the Poultry), prepared on the basis of the outstanding essays he had ESSAYS, MORAL AND LITERARY submitted as a scholar at St. John’s College, Oxford4 (in the following year these would be reprinted in two volumes, and eventually they would become three volumes and the author’s name would no longer be suppressed). Soon he would receive in the international mail, from Philadelphia, without solicitation or warning, an American diploma for the degree of Doctor of Divinity in appreciation of this fine volume of essays (we do not know what educational institution it was in Philadelphia that had forwarded its diploma). NOBODY COULD GUESS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT 4. Some of his mentors had been distressed that he had taken church orders, because they resented that this brilliant scholar would be wasting precious time in routine church duties that might better be spent preoccupied with matters of classical scholarship. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE REVEREND VICESIMUS KNOX II, D.D. VICESIMUS KNOX 1778 The Reverend Vicesimus Knox, LL.D. had resigned his position as headmaster of Tonbridge School and died at the age of 49. In this year his son was elected as the new headmaster. Soon he would get married, with the only daughter of Dr. Miller, a surgeon of Tunbridge. While headmaster for 33 years he would preach often on behalf of philanthropic causes and against war, arguing that “If the Christian religion in all its purity, and in its full force, were suffered to prevail universally, the sword of offensive war must be sheathed for ever, and the din of arms would at last be silenced in perpetual peace” and that “The total abolition of war, and the establishment of perpetual and universal peace, appear to me to be of more consequence than any thing ever achieved, or even attempted, by mere mortal man, since the creation.” His success as a teacher would be reflected in an increase in the number of scholars in the school, from 20 to 80. NO-ONE’S LIFE IS EVER NOT DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY HAPPENSTANCE “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Vicesimus Knox HDT WHAT? INDEX VICESIMUS KNOX THE REVEREND VICESIMUS KNOX II, D.D. 1781 The Reverend Vicesimus Knox II, D.D.’s educational ideas appeared again, in ON A LIBERAL EDUCATION, OR, A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE METHODS OF ACQUIRING USEFUL AND POLITE LEARNING (London: Printed for Charles Dilly, in the Poultry). This included his views on female education which he considered of importance since women were so influential in the pre-school education of their offspring. The author was an outspoken champion of the grammar schools in which he himself had been educated, run by Livery Companies. (This would be expanded to two volumes in 1785.) LIFE IS LIVED FORWARD BUT UNDERSTOOD BACKWARD? — NO, THAT’S GIVING TOO MUCH TO THE HISTORIAN’S STORIES.

[Cover title:] Der Fries im Thronsaale des Koeniglichen Schlosses in Dresden al fresco gemalt … Gezeichnet und radirt von Hugo Bürkner … Leipzig, Verlag von Georg Wigand [1846]. Oblong slim folio (260 × 685 mm), 16 tinted etchings by Bürkner after Bendemann; with the original printed front wrapper (stamped 1846) bound in; some scattered foxing, largely in the margins; contemporary cloth, the spine running along the upper edge, upper board lettered gilt; armorial bookplate of Edward Nicholas Hurt (1795–1867) of Lincoln’s Inn and his ink ownership signature to the wrapper. £450 First edition, the issue with the plates unfolded. Bendemann (1811– 1889) was appointed professor at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts in 1838, and soon received a commission to paint the halls in the royal palace there. In the throne room, he created huge frescos featuring rulers and legislators from Moses to Henry the Fowler (d.936), and showing how the human soul progresses from an original state of innocence, through its earthly life, to salvation and Paradise. Wigand published Bürkner’s etchings of the frescos in two forms. As here, with the plates unfolded, printed on Chinese paper, and as an oblong 4to, prefaced by six pages of explanatory text, in German and English, with the etchings folded in half and mounted on stubs.

Given the advanced state of the scholarship, one assumes that Sall lifetime paintings of Johnson have been identifed, cataloged, and discussed.1 We do not expect to stumble upon a new contemporary portrait of Johnson, let alone two diferent portraits, one by a then-unknown Lady Anne Lindsay (1750–1825), the eldest child of the ffh Earl of Balcarres, the other by the well-known portrait painter John Opie (1761–1807). Te frst is unknown; the second has been of the radar of both art historians and Johnson scholars. Lady Anne Lindsay’s efort—a drawing in pencil and watercolor—was executed in November 1773, at the home of Sir Alexander Dick, the president of the Royal College of Physicians in Scotland and Lady Anne’s great-uncle, at the end of Boswell and Johnson’s Highland tour.2 Te Opie “discovery” occurred in Fife during a visit to Balcarres House, Fife, the sixteenth-century home of I am grateful to the twenty-ninth Earl of Crawford and Balcarres for his kind hospitality in inviting me to Balcarres, for providing the image reproduced here, and for his general support of this research.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this docum ent have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)", If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
