The Garden Designs of William Stukeley (1687–1765)
2-4 GS Reeve + RS CORR NEW_baj gs 4/9/13 10:02 PM Page 9 The BRITISH ART Journal Volume XIII, No. 3 Of Druids, the Gothic, and the origins of architecture The garden designs of William Stukeley (1687–1765) Matthew M Reeve illiam Stukeley’s central place in the historiogra- phy of eighteenth-century England is hardly Winsecure.1 His published interpretations of the megalithic monuments at Avebury (1743) and Stonehenge (1740) earned him a prominent position in the history of archaeology, and his Vetusta Monumenta ensured his rep- utation as a draughtsman and antiquarian. Recent research has shown that Stukeley was a polymath, whose related interests in astrology, Newtonian natural history and theol- ogy formed part of a broader Enlightenment world view.2 Yet, in the lengthy scholarship on Stukeley, insufficient attention has been paid to his interest in another intellectu- al and aesthetic pursuit of eighteenth-century cognoscenti: garden design.3 Stukeley’s voluminous manuscripts attest to his role as an avid designer of gardens, landscapes and garden build- ings. His own homes were the subjects of his most interesting achievements, including his hermitages at Kentish Town (1760), Stamford (Barnhill, 1744 and Austin Street 1737), and Grantham (1727).4 In this, Stukeley can be located among a number of ‘gentleman gardeners’ in the first half of the eighteenth century from the middling classes and the aristocracy.5 He toured gardens regularly, and recorded many of them in his books, journals and cor- respondence. His 1724 Itinerarium Curiosum recounts his impressions of gardens, including the recent work at Blenheim Palace and the ‘ha-ha’ in particular, and his unpublished notebooks contain a number of sketches such as the gardens at Grimsthorpe, Lincs., where he was a reg- ular visitor.6 Stukeley also designed a handful of garden buildings, apparently as gifts for friends and acquaintances. -
Blackstone As Architect: Constructing the Commentaries
Blackstone as Architect: Constructing the Commentaries Wilfrid Prest* On January 28, 1746, as Cumberland's forces pursued the retreating Jacobite army into Scotland, a twenty-three year old newly-minted Bachelor of Civil Law and junior fellow of All Souls College sat down to write a characteristically cheerful letter to his lawyer uncle Seymour Richmond, shortly after reaching "my new Habitation (which is at Mr Stoke's a Limner in Arundel St)."' In the light of what is becoming clear about William Blackstone's own accomplishments and interests in draftsmanship and the visual arts, his choice of London lodgings was perhaps not entirely accidental. Be that as it may, this report on what was seemingly Blackstone's first serious encounter with the common law (even though he had by now accumulated a full five years' standing at the Middle Temple), exudes a jaunty self-confidence, couched in topically martial language: "I have stormed one Book of Littleton, & opened my Trenches before ye 2d; and I can with Pleasure say I have met with no Difficulty of Consequence...." Having established that even the * Australian Research Council Australian Professorial Fellow, University of Adelaide. This paper is part of William Blackstone.

Terraced gardens are a tradition of landscape design extending backward in time wherever gardens have been created on hilly terrain. The Chesapeake falling garden can find its distant ancestors in classic gardens of Europe. Yet the Tidewater region brings much of its own character to M.

The term falling garden, referring to the slopes designed layouts advocated by earlier writers. between the terraces or flats, is fairly localized. Its use The desire for a high order of control in the landscape seems to be confined to the tidewater region of the may well be attributed to the ongoing struggle of Chesapeake, from the mid-eighteenth century into the American landowners to overcome the chaos of nature. early nineteenth century.

The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826. -

Notes on Contributors / Remembering Roy Porter
Notes on Contributors / Remembering Roy Porter Not only was Roy Porter a brilliant scholar and a dedicated colleague, he was also a remarkable, generous and idiosyncratic individual – in fact, he was exactly the kind of person about whom Roy himself loved to write. We were all lucky that our lives were enriched by his presence. In this section, conventionally reserved for descriptions of ourselves, many of us have also added favourite memories of Roy, or moments when his influence shaped our ideas and careers. Roberta Bivins is Wellcome Lecturer in the History of Medicine at Cardiff University. The topic of her most recent book,Alternative Medicine? A Global Approach (2007), was suggested to her by Roy Porter many years ago. She is now studying the reciprocal impact of immigration and medical research/healthcare delivery in the US and UK since the Second World War. ‘As a nervous PhD student, I came to Roy via the most tenuous of connections: my American supervisor happened to know Roy’s wife. It is typical of his generosity that Roy invited me to London sight unseen, simply as a favour to his wife’s acquaintance. Dutifully, he scheduled regular lunches with me to check on my progress. Alongside the sandwiches and the inspiration, Roy offered me, in his inimitable way, a much- needed sense of belonging. One lunchtime, he dropped into his chair, grinned, and reported: “My mother has a question for you: did the royals use acupuncture?” I was surprised – but the idea that Roy’s mum knew all about my dissertation suddenly made me feel right at home in London. -
University Microfilms 300 North Zaeb Road Ann Arbor
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 document 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. -
Lake Constance – Vienna – Paris (Part 1) We Know Europe from the Motorway
After a good twenty years sailing on Lake Constance, we now want to get to know Europe via its numerous waterways. After a test sailing on the inland waterways in and around Berlin and a visit to the Maasbracht boatyard, which impressed us with its modern production technologies, in 2003 we decided to place an order for the construction of a new Linssen Dutch Sturdy 320 AC. This yacht is suitable for the conditions on Lake Constance and for more extended sailing trips throughout Europe. Lake Constance – Vienna – Paris (Part 1) We know Europe from the motorway.
