The Art Journal, published in London, was the most important Victorian<br />
magazine on <strong>art</strong>. It was founded in 1839 by Hodgson & Graves, print<br />
publishers, 6 Pall Mall, with the title the Art Union Monthly Journal, the<br />
first issue of 750 copies appearing 15 February 1839.<br />
ODNB ‘... The Art Journal (the title adopted in 1849) would prove to be<br />
the pioneer of fine-<strong>art</strong> journalism in Britain. In a number of ways it<br />
helped to stabilize the shaky position of the <strong>art</strong> world in a period when<br />
old canons <strong>and</strong> patronage networks were collapsing. Hall worked to<br />
expose the roaring trade in faked old masters, thus reducing that market<br />
but also making it more respectable. At the same time he championed the<br />
cause of modern British <strong>art</strong>ists, both in painting <strong>and</strong> in sculpture. For<br />
this he earned the gratitude not only of <strong>art</strong>ists but also of leading critics<br />
such as Ruskin. He campaigned tirelessly to exp<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> uplift the<br />
audience for <strong>art</strong> by publicizing exhibitions <strong>and</strong> collections open to the<br />
public, by publishing a great deal of criticism (much by his assistant<br />
editor James Dafforne), <strong>and</strong> eventually by printing in the magazine highquality<br />
engravings of great works of <strong>art</strong> (notably, from 1848, the whole<br />
of the Vernon collection)....’<br />

William Coxe (1747-1828). Archdeacon <strong>and</strong> historian. His main interest<br />
was in publishing accounts of his travels <strong>and</strong> working on the family<br />
papers of his noble patrons. It was his friend <strong>and</strong> patron Sir Richard Colt<br />
Hoare who persuaded him to accompany him on a tour of<br />
Monmouthshire in the autumn of 1789. Hoare, who made a number of<br />
drawings, sixty of which subsequently appeared in the above work,<br />
encouraged him to return to Monmouthshire twice during 1799 to<br />
interview countless gentry <strong>and</strong> amplify his notes. The author declared he<br />
spent five months in the county <strong>and</strong> travelled some fifteen hundred miles:<br />
The result of his enquiries ‘An Historical Tour ...’, although disclaiming<br />
any pretension to being a history of the county, <strong>and</strong> despite its plodding<br />
style, is much fuller <strong>and</strong> more valuable than the accounts of most other<br />
travellers in Wales during the late eighteenth century.<br />
D.N.B. '...he devoted himself chiefly to a series of memoirs, which are of<br />
great value for the history of the eighteenth century...'<br />

Management, [<strong>and</strong>] Indian Ocean Biodiversity Assessment 2000-2005<br />
Biodiversity assessment celebrating the centenary of the Percy Sladen<br />
Trust Expedition to the Indian Ocean “In 1905 <strong>and</strong> 1908-1909 the Percy<br />
Sladen Trust Expedition visited the isl<strong>and</strong>s of the western Indian Ocean<br />
to investigate the biological relationships between the isl<strong>and</strong>s of the<br />
Seychelles, Mascarenes <strong>and</strong> Chagos groups <strong>and</strong> to locate evidence for<br />
former l<strong>and</strong> connections between the isl<strong>and</strong>s. This expedition still forms<br />
the basis of our underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the region's biogeography with the<br />
recognition that the granitic Seychelles isl<strong>and</strong>s are continental fragments<br />
of Gondwana, isolated from India <strong>and</strong> Madagascar 65 million years ago<br />
whilst the other isl<strong>and</strong>s are volcanic in origin. The continental history of<br />
the granitic isl<strong>and</strong>s results in a divers <strong>and</strong> archaic fauna, with more<br />
recent immigrant taxa of African, Malagasy or cosmopolitan origin. The<br />
Mascarenes, Amirantes, Aldabra <strong>and</strong> Chagos Isl<strong>and</strong> groups all support<br />
immigrant taxa with affinities resulting from the predominant marine<br />
currents.”<br />

The Slave Trade Act (citation 47 Geo III Sess. 1 c. 36) was an Act of<br />
Parliament of the United Kingdom passed on 25 March 1807, with the<br />
long title "An Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade". The act abolished<br />
the slave trade in the British Empire, but not slavery itself; slavery on<br />
English soil was unsupported in English law <strong>and</strong> that position was<br />
confirmed in Somersett's Case in 1772, but it remained legal in most of<br />
the British Empire until the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 which came into<br />
force the following year.<br />
Slavery was officially abolished in most of the British Empire on 1<br />
August 1834. In practical terms, however, only slaves below the age of<br />
six were freed in the colonies, as all former slaves over the age of six<br />
were redesignated as "apprentices", which was abolished in two stages;<br />
the first set of apprenticeships came to an end on 1 August 1838, while<br />
the final apprenticeships were scheduled to cease on 1 August 1840<br />
(local peaceful protests ensured they actually ceased in 1838).<br />
However the Act did not "extend to any of the Territories in the<br />
Possession of the East India Company, or to the Isl<strong>and</strong> of Ceylon, or to<br />
25<br />
the Isl<strong>and</strong> of Saint Helena." In addition its application to the Colony of<br />
the Cape of Good Hope (now the Cape Province of the Republic of South<br />
Africa) was delayed for 4 months <strong>and</strong> its application to the Colony of<br />
Mauritius (now the Republic of Mauritius) was delayed for 6 months.<br />
When the Honourable East India Company came under the control of<br />
Great Britain slavery in India including Ceylon <strong>and</strong> St Helena was<br />
finally abolished, under the provisions of the 1843 India Act.<br />
Our collection includes papers relating to all aspects of slavery, viz.<br />
administration, local grievances, captured negroes, import/export <strong>and</strong><br />
sale of slaves, some key papers on the measures adopted for giving effect<br />
to the Act of Abolition, Slavery under the East India Co., improving slave<br />
conditions, religious worship, crime <strong>and</strong> punishment, fugitive slaves,<br />
captured slaves, liberated Africans, apprentices, slavery abolition<br />
proceedings, the Abolition Act, vessels engaged in the slave trade,<br />
ethnicity, <strong>and</strong> post emancipation, immigration, employment regulation,<br />
supply of labour, the effect on the Sugar <strong>and</strong> Coffee trade, labouring<br />
population, education, moral <strong>and</strong> religious instruction, etc.<br />
By no means exhaustive, the collection nonetheless offers contemporary<br />
insight into a society underpinned by the exploitation of fellow-man.<br />

The Société de Géographie, founded in 1821, is apparently the oldest<br />
society of its kind in the world. Documenting newly discovered<br />
geography of the world <strong>and</strong> monitor the work of travelers <strong>and</strong> explorers,<br />
encompassing a variety of topics: history, archeology, ethnography,<br />
alongside tales of travel <strong>and</strong> voyages. Various centenarians are<br />
commemorated as those of large families: Cook, Lapérouse,<br />
Entrecastraux, Dumont D'Urville, Humboldt, <strong>and</strong> Christopher Columbus<br />
<strong>and</strong> Vasco da Gama. Few studies are actually in Europe, even rarer<br />
those concerning France. Attention is focused on all continents,<br />
p<strong>art</strong>icularly in Africa where Germans, English <strong>and</strong> French were<br />
collaborating on research sources <strong>and</strong> courses of the Niger, Congo <strong>and</strong><br />
the Nile.<br />

ODNB ‘Joseph Welch (1750–1805), compiler of biographical reference<br />
works, was for forty years assistant to William Ginger, bookseller to<br />
Westminster School. He prepared a list of scholars, which for many years<br />
he sold in manuscript. In 1788, encouraged by the success of Pote's<br />
Registrum regale of Eton College (1774), he printed it under the [above]<br />
title ... The work, which was the first printed register of the school, was<br />
republished in 1852, under the editorship of Charles Bagot Phillimore,<br />
with the addition of the queen's scholars from 1663, <strong>and</strong> of copious<br />
biographical notes. The work is generally known as Alumni<br />

‘Writing from Cape Town in February 1900, Kipling observes ‘that the<br />
Cape Town Clubs are not quite so full of members who personally shot<br />
Colley at Majuba-<strong>and</strong> two years ago there were several. In many small<br />
ways ... it seems as though there is growing, if not toleration, at least a<br />
certain respect for Englishmen. The contempt, at all events, is less open<br />
... Dimly <strong>and</strong> distantly Cape Town realises that that thing called the<br />
British Government is now in earnest.’’<br />

Exposure of the Cape Population’, inveighs against the supposedly<br />

the Cape <strong>and</strong> Orange Free State; the piece was reprinted in New York in<br />

John Wilkins, Bishop of Chester (1614-72), was a founding member of<br />
the Royal Society <strong>and</strong> one of the most influential thinkers of the<br />
seventeenth century. His masterpiece the above work is a key text in the<br />
history of language. Ready for publication in 1666 but destroyed by the<br />
Great fire, the work that was finally published in 1668 is Wilkin’s attempt<br />
at creating a universal language. Wilkins provides an examination of the<br />
origins, change, adoption, <strong>and</strong> diffusion of languages <strong>and</strong> alphabets as<br />
well as offering a ‘Universal Philosophy’ classification system.<br />
Appended to the essay is an alphabetical dictionary which lists English<br />
words, their symbols in the real character <strong>and</strong> references to their proper<br />
place in classification.<br />

The Ministry of Information (MOI), headed by the Minister of<br />
Information, was a United Kingdom government dep<strong>art</strong>ment created<br />
briefly at the end of World War I <strong>and</strong> again during World War II.<br />
Located in Senate House at the University of London during World War<br />
II, it was the central government dep<strong>art</strong>ment responsible for publicity<br />
<strong>and</strong> propag<strong>and</strong>a. Headed by Brendan Bracken in July 1941 who<br />
remained in office until victory was obvious.<br />
The Ministry was responsible for information policy <strong>and</strong> the output of<br />
propag<strong>and</strong>a material in Allied <strong>and</strong> neutral countries, with overseas<br />
publicity organised geographically. American <strong>and</strong> Empire Divisions<br />
continued throughout the war, other areas being covered by a succession<br />
of different divisions.<br />
For home publicity, the Ministry dealt with the planning of general<br />
government or interdep<strong>art</strong>mental information, <strong>and</strong> provided common<br />
services for public relations activities of other government dep<strong>art</strong>ments.<br />
The MOI was dissolved in March 1946, with its residual functions<br />
passing to the Central Office of Information (COI), a central<br />
organisation providing common <strong>and</strong> specialist information services.<br />

The Annual Register is a chronicle of British <strong>and</strong> world history published<br />
annually since 1758. It was founded by Edmund Burke (who was its<br />
editor for many years) <strong>and</strong> Robert Dodsley <strong>and</strong> has had many different<br />
publishers since.<br />
An extraordinarily interesting contemporary view of life <strong>and</strong> times during<br />
the last two hundred <strong>and</strong> fifty years. Originally conceived as a<br />
miscellany, reproducing state papers, reviewing important books, <strong>and</strong><br />
featuring historical sketches, poetry, observations on natural history, <strong>and</strong><br />
other essays, reproduced from books <strong>and</strong> periodicals. The first volume<br />
produced at the height of the Seven Years War, <strong>and</strong> the opening history<br />
section describes the progress of that conflict from its origins to the end<br />
of the year 1758. Covering all aspects of the war until 1763, the history<br />
section evolved to cover the past year’s developments more generally in<br />
Britain, its colonies <strong>and</strong> mainl<strong>and</strong> Europe. Of p<strong>art</strong>icular interest is the<br />
1776 issue (printed in 1777) With the first printing in book form of the<br />
US Declaration of Independence <strong>and</strong> Articles of Confederation, also<br />
containing the ch<strong>art</strong>er of the first government of the United States, the<br />
Articles of Confederation, British Leave Boston, Virginia Governor<br />
Dunmore frees slaves <strong>and</strong> much more, (our copy is a third edition<br />
published 1782). Fully covering the American War of Independence<br />
giving details of all events leading up to <strong>and</strong> throughout the conflict.<br />
From 1789 until the final defeat of Napoleon in 1815 the History was<br />
primarily devoted to describing the French Revolution <strong>and</strong> the wars<br />
arising from it. After 1815 the usual form became a number of chapters<br />
on Britain, paying p<strong>art</strong>icular attention to the proceedings of Parliament,<br />
followed by chapters covering other countries in turn, no longer limited<br />
to Europe. The expansion of the History came at the expense of the<br />
sketches, reviews <strong>and</strong> other essays so that the nineteenth-century<br />
publication ceased to have the miscellaneous character of its eighteenthcentury<br />
forebear, although poems continued to be included until 1862,<br />
<strong>and</strong> a small number of official papers <strong>and</strong> other important texts continue<br />
to be reproduced to this day. From the 1920s volumes of The Annual<br />
Register took the essential shape in which they have continued ever<br />
since, opening with the history of Britain, then a section on foreign<br />
history covering each country or region in turn. Following these are the<br />
chronicle of events, brief retrospectives on the year’s cultural <strong>and</strong><br />
economic developments, a short selection of documents, <strong>and</strong> obituaries of<br />
eminent persons who died in the year.<br />

The Valor Ecclesiasticus (Latin: "church valuation") a survey of the<br />
finances of the church in Engl<strong>and</strong>, Wales <strong>and</strong> English controlled p<strong>art</strong>s of<br />
Irel<strong>and</strong> made in 1535 on the orders of Henry VIII. The Valor gave the<br />
government for the first time a solid underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the scale of the<br />
wealth of the church as a whole <strong>and</strong> p<strong>art</strong>icularly of the monasteries.<br />
Figures from the Valor were a vital p<strong>art</strong> of the process of the Dissolution<br />
of the Lesser Monasteries Act (1536).<br />
A document of the first importance for historians of the later mediæval<br />
<strong>and</strong> Tudor church, the English Reformation, <strong>and</strong> the Dissolution. It is<br />
also valuable to economic historians of the period.<br />

With the Introduction by Samuel Johnson (1744) in Volume 1.<br />
William Oldys (1696–1761), herald <strong>and</strong> antiquary. ODNB ‘ ... Oldys's<br />
British Librarian had been published by Thomas Osborne, <strong>and</strong> it was<br />
Osborne who bought for £13,000 Harley's collection of printed books,<br />
intending to dispose of them through an elaborate bibliographical<br />
catalogue to be edited by Samuel Johnson <strong>and</strong> Oldys. The first two<br />
volumes of Catalogus Bibliothecae Harleianae appeared on 12 March<br />
1743, after some six months' work; the third <strong>and</strong> fourth volumes were<br />
published on 4 January 1744. The contributions of Johnson <strong>and</strong> Oldys<br />
are difficult to distinguish. Meanwhile, Osborne proposed (in terms<br />
provided by Johnson) a weekly subscription serial known as The<br />
Harleian Miscellany, which reprinted some of the scarcer tracts from the<br />
collection <strong>and</strong> which commenced in March 1744 with Oldys as its<br />
supervisory editor. It eventually ran to eight volumes (1744–6) ...<br />
Alongside the Miscellany Oldys edited ‘A Copious <strong>and</strong> Exact Catalogue<br />
of Pamphlets in the Harleian Library’, which appeared piecemeal but<br />
eventually constituted a qu<strong>art</strong>o volume of 168 pages, offering<br />
bibliographical descriptions of almost 550 items. Like many of Oldys's<br />
publications, this was valued highly by collectors <strong>and</strong> scholars, <strong>and</strong><br />
several annotated copies exist.’ Reprinted <strong>and</strong> included at the end of<br />
Volume X of the above work.<br />

excitability, a property of the nervous system, was the fundamental<br />
feature of living bodies. It was activated by environmental stimuli to<br />
produce excitement, the life force. Brown's system, known as<br />
