Wednesday ye 25th, about 7 o'clock, it pleased the Almighty to take him from me, and, I trust, to himself, to an happy eternity. Tuesday, ye 1st of Novr, I quitted Trentham, where I had lived, the happiest of Wives, for 35 years and 5 months. God have mercy upon me! and direct and guide me! . . . Thursday, ye 3rd of Novr my beloved husband's remains were interr'd in the family vault. . . . | Leveson-Gower, 1st Marquess of Stafford, Granville (I00528)

| 202 | --- "Lord Granville Leveson Gower: Private Correspondence" Vol. 2, 1916, page 105-6: Lady Harrowby to her brother (Granville Leveson Gower) Grosr Square, Friday, 16th August, 1805. My very dear Granville,--- After the sad letter the last mail brought you from Ld. H. you will not be surpized to receive the dismal tidings that our dear, dear Mother is now no more. She expired yesterday afternoon soon after three o'clock without a groan, having, I fear, previously suffered considerably during a whole week; her death was therefore a release to her, and I trust now she is receiving the reward of her exemplary and actively virtuous and pious life. You may judge of Charlotte's feelings and mine upon this occasion by your own upon the receipt of this. She was the kindest of Mothers to us all, my dear G., and I hope and trust you will always bear in mind her particularly fond, doting affection for you, together with the earnest advice she has given you these few last years. The last letter recd. from her (not written a fortnight ago) from Bognor expressed the greatest anxiety concerning you. Poor Ly. Euphemia's attention to her was unwearied to the last moment, and I am sure you will join with me in rejoicing that my mother has so kindly remembered her in her will, of which I send you a copy. It was opened in presence of my brother, Charlotte and the Duke, Mr. Eliot, Ld. H. and myself; and as my Brother is not remaining in London (having arrived from Wolmers today upon this business merely), and as the Duke of B. must go to his Tegt. at Lewes, as he has recd. peremptory orders so to do, the Invasion being daily expected, such being the case and Mr. Eliot at Greenwich, busied with preparations for their departure for Madeira the middle of next month, Lord H. has undertaken to pay servants, bills, and to do a few necessary things for you about which he is to consult Mr. Lowndes. The remainder will all remain just as they are now, till orders are recd. from you. When Mr. E. left Croom's Hill this morning Georgiana was not made aware that all was over, but she knew everything short of that, and bore it fully as well as one could expect. I therefore hope that tho' the stroke will be a severe one to her, and will and must affect her strongly, yet that her health will not be materially injured by the sad truth. You shall hear again from one of us after Ld. H. has seen Mr. Lowndes. --- Adieu, my dearest brother, yours in haste, S.H. --- "Lord Granville Leveson Gower: Private Correspondence" Vol. 2, 1916, page 105-6: Lady Bessborough to Granville Leveson Gower Grosr Square, Friday, 16th August, 1805. . . . Think of what I felt when on driving to the door to enquire I found all over. Both your sisters were there, but Ly. G. Eliot was not told for some days. . . . There can be no doubt for her (GLG's mother) it is a blessing; she never has been happy since your poor father's death, and never could have been so. | Stewart, Marchioness of Stafford Susanna "Susan" (I00921)

Dancing was resumed soon after two, and continued till past five o'clock yesterday morning.

Hamilton, second son of Lord Abercorn. His life was short; for he had not reached his 20th year; but he had lived to gain the friendship of all who knew him, and to die lamented by parents, friends, and contemporaries. He was endowed by nature with talents of a superior cast, tempered by a disposition, amiable to a weakness. It is a common defect to assume the qualities which are not possessed, and to claim the admiration which is not due; but how uncommon the virtue in man, to wonder at the praises, and to place himself below the opinion of the world. As a Senator, Lord C. Hamilton would have adorned the purest age of the Constitution; as a companion, his loss is best expressed by Virgil,--- Hei mihi quaatum Praesidium Ausonia, et quantum tu perdis Tule! | Hamilton, Claud (I00424)

The cavalry division lost about 60 horses during the night, and I dread to think of the number of our noble soldiers who will receive their coup de grace from this weather, if it last. I am credibly informed, that out of one division alone 150 men were taken out of the trenches to the hospital tents, seized with cramp and half frozen, not so much, perhaps, from the cold, as from the want of proper clothing and inability to move about to circulate the blood. Lieutenant Ramsbottom, of the 97th Regiment, was found dead in his tent this morning, from the vapours of charcoal in a stove, and Mr. Vicars, of the same regiment, was discovered in a precarious state from the same cause, but is now better. I have heard that an engineer officer is also dangerously ill from similar want of caution, and there are rumours, to which I do not attach much credence, of men having died on their posts last night from cold. --- "Coventry Herald" Friday, 02 Feb 1855, page 3: OFFICERS SUFFOCATED IN THEIR TENTS. Captain Swinton, of the Royal Artillery, a gallant and excellent Officer, was recently found dead in his tent, suffocated by the fumes of charcoal from a stove which he had placed within it for the purpose of warmth. Lieutenant Ramsbottom, of the 97th Regiment, was also found dead in his tent, from a similar cause. It seems that great numbers of iron stoves have been brought out from Constantinople, and are not used with proper caution, and several Officers have been half-killed by carbonic-acid gas generated in these deadly apparatus. --- "Reading Mercury" Saturday, 03 Feb 1855, page 8: Lieut.

| 243 | --- "Nelson's Handbook to the Isle of Wight" by William Adams, pub. T. Nelson, 1873, page 181-2: Thomas Fleming, Knight, and Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, was born at Newport. His father was a mercer and general trader, occupying "a house on the east side of the entrance to the Corn Market from the High Street, on the site where the house now occupied by Mr. Avery stands." The family was of respectable extraction, and had long been connected with the Isle of Wight. . . . In 1497 (12 Henry VII.), a John Fleming is recorded as bailiff of Newport --- an office he again filled twenty-three years later (1520). In the "hampshire Visitation" made by the heralds in this reign, his name occurs --- a proof of the excellence of his position. He died in 1531, leaving a son, by his wife Isabell, also named John, who married Dorothy Harris in 1543, and had a son Thomas, born in April in the following year. He received his education in the school at Godshill, then the principal resort of the sons of the opulent, and afterwards proceeded to Oxford. In 1570 (Feb. 13) he was married at St. Thomas's, Newport, to Mary James,* his cousin, the daughter of Dr. Mark James, physician-in-ordinary to Queen Elizabeth. . . . In 1607, on the death of Sir John Popham, this able lawyer was elevated to the post of Lord Chief Justice of England. He enjoyed his high dignity, however, but six years, dying suddenly on the 7th of August 1613. On his return from the Northern Circuit, he had given to his servants and farm-labourers what is called in Hampshire a "hearing day." After joining in the blithesome revels, he went to bed, apparently in sound health, but was taken suddenly ill, and died before morning. He was buried in the parish church of North Stoneham, where a stately monument records the numerous successes of his career. It is ornamented with recumbent whole-length figures of the Chief Justice in his robes, with his official insignia; and his wife, with ruff and hood, and the singular waist favoured by ladies of the Tudor era.** * "Thomas Fleming & Marie James married ye 13 of February 1570." --- From the Registers. ** His children were--- Sir Thomas; Philip, Steward of the Isle of Wight; Walter; Joh; James; Sir Francis, master of the horse to Oliver Cromwell; and William; and Elizabeth, Mary, Jame, Eleanor, Dowsabell, Mary, and another. --- Berry's Genealogies, Burke's commoners, &c. --- "Sketches of Hampshire" by John Duthy, 1839, page 383: John Fleming, of that place [Newport], the son of John Gleming and Isabel, his wife, married Dorothy Harris; and their son, Thomas Fleming, who was born at Newport in April, 1554, became the founder of the present family. He practised at the bar, and after having taken the degree of sergeant-at-law, was chosen recorder of London; and subsequently, in the year 1595, was made solicitor general to the queen Elizabeth, which office he also held for a short time under James I. According to the usual custom, his legal honours were accompanied by that of knighthood, which was conferred on him in the year 1583. In the year 1601, sir Thomas Fleming was returned to parliament as one of the members for Southampton; and again in the year 1603. In the year after this second return, he was made lord chief baron of the court of exchequer, by James I.; but, by a vote of the House of Commons, it was resolved that, nothwithstanding his elevation to the bench, he should still continue a member that house. When it is considered that the judges were then dependent on the crown, and that the affair of sir Francis Goodwin, which had just occurred, had roused the jealousy of the House of Commons on the question of the royal prerogative, which the king seemed determined to exert to the utmost, this resolution must be regarded as one of the highest testimonies which could have been borne to the integrity of Sir Thomas Fleming. In the year 1607 he was raised to the dignity of lord chief justice of England, being "in especial grace and favour" with James I. as he had been with Elizabeth. He was succeeded in the representation of Southampton by his son; who, on one occasion, had for his colleague a judge, though of an inferior jurisdiction --- Henry Sherfield, esq. the recorder of the borough, having been returned with him to parliament in the year 1620. . . . The lord chief justice Fleming purchased Stoneham of the earl of Southampton, and made it his occasional residence. After returning from the northern circuit in the summer of the year 1618, he gave "a hearing day" to his tenants, which was spent with the customary hospitable festivities. He went to bed in health, but died before the morning. He was buried in North Stoneham church, where a stately monument was erected to him. A whole length figure of his lordship, in his robes with the insignia of his office, reclines on the monument; and his lady is represented in the same attitude beneath, with the hood and ruff and extravagant waist of the age. This monument is kept very carefully in a state of great preservation, and the aid of the painter is frequently put in requisition, to preserve a truth in the appearance of the ornaments of the figures beyond the reach of the sculptor's art. The following is a copy of the inscription on the monument:--- In Most Assured Hope Of A Blessed Resurection Here Lyeth Interred ye Bodie of Sr Thomas Flemyng Knighte Lo: Chief Justice of England; Great Was His Learning.

The next subsequent account we have of him is, that in the very beginning of the year 1748, he commanded the Augusta, of sixty guns, one of the fleet ordered out on a cruise under rear-admiral sir Edward Hawke. In the month of July 1749, he was captain of the Berwick, a guardship of sixty-four guns, one of those put into commission immediately after the peace in 1748; and was one of the members composing the court-martial held, on board the Invincible, for the trial of the piratical mutineers who had attempted to carry off the Chesterfield, of forty guns, from the coast of Guinea. After his quitting this ship he went a voyage to Newfoundland captain of the Pensance, a fifth rate forty-four guns, and on his return was appointed to be captain of the Dorset, the yacht stationed to attend on the lord lieutenant of Ireland.

| 259 | --- "Notes and Queries" Oxford Univ. Press, Jan-June 1873 [17 May 1873], page 399: Mr. P.A. Labouchere ("P.A.L."). Mr. Peter Anthony Labouchere was born at Nantz, on the 27th of November, 1807. He was the son of Anthony M. Labouchere, a merchant, and of Cathinka Knudtzon, of Drontheim (Norway). The Labouchere family, of French origin, emigrated at the time of the last religious persecutions in the eighteenth century; some of its members settled in Holland, others in England, and one branch only, after a certain time, returned to its fatherland. Young Labouchere was brought up with his elder brother at Rodelheim, near Frankfurt-on-the-Main, and at Liverpool. He consequently acquired a complete knowledge of the German and English languages. The valuable directions and parental affection of his uncle and godfather, Mr. P.C. Labouchere, he ever gratefully acknowledged by showing himself worthy of such a tutor. Having entered business, he made, in 1827, a most interesting voyage to the United States, as secretary of his excellent friend, Mr. Joshua Bates, and in 1832 (as super-cargo on one of his brother's ships) to China whence he brought back a good many drawings and sketches. On his way home he stopped at St. Helena, to visit the Emperor's tomb and former residence at Longwood. He RESIded for awhile at Antwerp, then went to Rome, two places where he could admire and study the splendid works of art. About that time he became acquainted wiht Paul Delaroche, who not only was his master for several years, but remained to the last his intimate friend. P.A. Labouchere married, in 1839, Miss Natalie Mallet, the daughter of Madame Jules Mallet, whose memory as propagator of infant schools and other charitable institutions is justly blessed in France. Often have I heard my dear father express his gratitude for the perfect happiness which he ever enjoyed since his marriage. In 1846, Mr. Labouchere exhibited his picture of The Translation of the Bible, which attracted the attention of the King of Holland, and became his property. The author received an order (the Lion Neerlandais) which is seldom bestowed on foreigners. The same year he accompanied his cousin, Count de Salvandy, Minister of Public Instruction, through a most interesting journey to Algeria and Spain, on the occasion of the wedding, at Algiers, of Marshal Bugeaud's daughter. he, as a painter, found there many scenes to sketch, and also made several good copies from the old masters in the museums of Spain. In 1848, during the eventful days of the Revolution, Mr. Labouchere was often on duty in the National Guard. On the 15th of May, when the Assembly was invaded by the mob, he was among the first brave citizens who entered the hall and expelled the insurgents. In June, he had to fight for several days, and the next year (13th June, 1849) he escorted, as a staff-officer, General Changarnier, who, on the Boulevards, made a vigorous charge on the rioters; he was sincerely devoted to the gallant general. The disasters of 1870 overtook Mr. Labouchere and his family when residing in the Valley of Jouy, near Versailles, and this peaceful country soon became one of the chief quarters of the German army surrounding Paris. During five months our village had a garrison of 4,000 men, and was to provide fuel, candles, vehicles, wine and food, for the staff, &c. My dear father, being able to speak German to the officers, often obtained some alleviation for the suffering and exhasted population. His was a noble task, and our unbidden guests themselves acknowledged it. Hardly had the Prussians left us when the time of the Commune began in Paris, and we soon witnessed, from the terrace of Meudon, the dreadful fire destroying so many public buildings, among which, we then thought, the Louvre itself, with its art treasures, might be numbered! Having so deeply mourned over our national calamities, Mr. Labouchere highly esteemed M. Thiers's patriotic policy; he was much comforted and rejoiced at the news that a treaty had been signed for the early withdrawal of the foreign troops from the French territory. On the 19th of March my dear father fell ill, and his weakness at once caused great anxiety. His daughter and son-in-law were called from the country, and were present with us when, on Friday, the 28th, the precious soul was removed from this everlasting life! How should I express our bereavement? An earnest conscience, enlightened by the Gospel, a warm heart, an open intellect, a meek and cheerful character, -- all who kew him will acknowledge this as a true likeness of my father's moral features. Having travelled and read much, he had gathered much general information, and ever took a lively interest in all that was fine and good. His constant wish was to render service; he did it many times most obligingly and unassumingly; in several Instances he was even so fortunate as to become a peace-maker. A great number of friends met on Sunday, March 30th, to attend the funeral service performed by the Rev. Pastor Dhombres, who a few days later wrote the following: -- "The Reformed Church of Paris laments the loss of Mr. P.A. Labouchere, a distinguished painter, a faithful Christian, a man of most elevated, refined and amiable character. He had illustrated the principal scenes of the Reformation, and his talent was inspired by a deep religious feeling, and enlightened by conscientious historical studies. His earthly career had a peaceful end, attended with the blessings of Christian faith and hope." Prinicpal Pictures Exhibited by P.A.L. (1843-69) 1843.

LINES Written at the age of thirteen by Henry Labouchere on the question of being put whether foRESIght contributed to happiness:--- If with an astrologic eye We could in starts our fate descry, Could see a parent's final day, And knowing could prolong his stay; Sure foRESIght would be perfect bliss, And who would wish for more than this? But if we should foresee in vain, It would inflict but double pain To see a friend approach the tomb, Unable to avert his doom; Sure foRESIght would be far from bliss, And who would wish for such as this? A. Alfred Labouchere. | Labouchere, Pierre Antoine (I01910)

| 263 | --- "Nottingham Journal" 19 Sep 1900, page 6: REPORTED DEATH OF A POPULAR CRICKETER. Much consternation was aroused in Bridgewater yesterday when it became known that Lord Roberts had announced that Lieutenant H.T. Stanley, of the Imperial Yeomanry, had been killed in a skirmish with the Boers at Hexport, it being feared that the gallant officer is the son of Mr. E. J. Stanley, the member for Bridgewater Division, and a popular cricketer for Somerset County. --- "Evening Star" 20 Sep 1900, page 2: Lieutenant H.T. Stanley, of the Imperial Yeomanry, a son of Mr. E.J. Stanley, M.P., and grandson of Lord Taunton, who is reported as killed in action under General Clements's command, was a very steady cricketer. He never was given his "blue" for Oxford, but was frequently tried in the preliminary matches. Perhaps his best cricket was shewn when playing for Somerset, for whome he scored 127 last year against Gloucestershire. In Somerset he was extemely popular, and his cricketing parties at his father's place at Quantock Lodge will be pleasantly remembered by man. Mr. STanley, who is the member for the Bridgwater Division of Somerset, will recieve every sympathy from cricketers on the loss of his son. Lieutenant Stanley joined the West Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry in January, 1897, and was commissioned in the Imperial Yeomanry last February, serving in the 7th Battalion. --- "Gloucestershire Echo" 19 Sep 1900, page 3: Cricketers will receive with regret the news from South Africa, to hand yesterday, of the death in action of Mr. H.T. Stanley. Without ever taking a very high place, Mr. Stanley was a good batsman of the safe, steady school, and at various times did useful work for Somerset. Last year, though he scored only 367 runs in a dozen county matches, he played an innings of 127 against Gloucestershire on the Gloucester ground, going in first and staying till the score was up to 400. This was his first and only hundred in the county cricket. The deceased gentleman was the only son of Mr. E. J. Stanley, M.P. for the Bridgwater Division, and he went to the front with the West Somerset Yeomanry. --- "A Yeoman's Letters" by P.T. Ross, 1901: Death of Lieutenant Stanley. Monday, September 17th. There is a funeral to-day-an officer's-and we (the Composite Squadron) are stopping in camp for it, as it concerns us. So I will tell you all about it. Yesterday was Sunday, seldom a day of rest out here. We, the three squadrons of Yeomanry attached to Clements' force, were sent out early on a reconnaissance. Without any opposition we advanced in a westerly direction towards Boschfontein, almost the same way as on Monday last, for about four miles, the Devon and Dorset troops of our squadron being on the right, our Sussex troop on the left, the Roughriders (72nd I.Y.) in reserve, and the Fife Light Horse scouting ahead. The Fifes had reached the foot of a high grass-covered kopje, and were about to ascend it, when the enemy opened a hot fire on them, causing them to scoot for their lives, which they managed to do successfully. We then galloped up, dismounted, and opened fire on the hill-top, the Devons and Dorsets doing the same on our right, and the Fifes falling back on our left. Where the Roughs were we never knew, probably their officers did. Taking into account the absence of the Nos. 3, with the led horses, and one group of our troop being sent some distance to the left, we only numbered six and our officer, Mr. Stanley, well-known in the cricket world as a Somerset county man. Our led horses were in a donga in the rear. The position we occupied, I should mention, was at the base of a kopje opposite to that held by the Boers. We were sighting at 2,000, when our captain, Sir Elliot Lees, rode up and said he could not make out where the Devons and Dorsets who should have been on our right, were. As a matter of fact they had retired unknown to us. This the wily Boers had seen and quickly taken advantage of, for Sergeant-Major Cave, of the Dorsets, rushing up to us crouching down, told us to fire to our right front, where some trees were about three or four hundred yards away, and from which a heavy fire was being directed at us. Sir Elliot Lees then came up again from our left. Mr. Stanley, seeing the hot corner we were in, retired us about a dozen yards back to the deepest part of the donga, where our led horses were, and ordered the fellows with the horses to retire, and later, gave the command for us to do the same in rushes by threes. Meanwhile our bandoliers were nearly empty, and the Boers were creeping round to our right, which would enable them to enfilade our position. The first three retired, and we were blazing away to cover them, with our heads just showing as we fired over the top of the donga, when the man on my right said, "Mr. Stanley is hit," and looking at him, for he was close to me on my left, I saw he was shot through the head, the blood pouring down his face. Sir Elliot, the other man, and myself were the only ones left in the donga then, so the captain, taking hold of poor Stanley by his shoulders, and I his legs, we started to carry him off. As we picked him up, he insisted, in a voice like that of a drunken man, on somebody bringing his carbine and hat. "Where's my rifle an' hat? Rifle an' hat!" The third man took them and gat-I heard this later. You have no idea what a weight a mortally-wounded man is, and the poor fellow was in reality rather lightly built. On we went, stumbling over stones, a ditch, and into little chasms in the earth. Once or twice he mumbled, "Not so fast, not so fast!" The bullets buzzed, whistled, and hummed by us, missing us by yards, feet, and inches, knocking up the dust and hitting the stones and thorn bushes we staggered through. We, of course, presented a big mark for the Boers, and were not under any covering fire so far as I am aware. The captain, who is grit all through, soon found it impossible to carry the poor fellow by the shoulders, the weight being too much for him, so I offered, and we changed places, Sir Elliot taking his legs and on we went, pausing, exhausted, perspiring and breathless, now and again, for a rest. At last, turning to our left, we reached a little bit of cover, thanks to a friendly rise in the ground, and falling into a kind of deep rut with Stanley's body on top of me, I waited while the captain went to see if he could get any assistance. Presently he returned with a Somerset man; and a minute or so later a Fife fellow, a medical student, came up. The former and I then got him on a little farther. After a few minutes' deliberation, the captain said, reluctantly, "we must leave him." We all three asked permission to stay. To which Sir Elliot replied, "I don't want to lose an officer and three men. Come away, men!" We then moved the poor fellow into a cutting about two feet deep and three feet wide, and arranged a haversack under his head. As we loitered, each unwilling to leave him first, Sir Elliot thundered at us to come on, saying, "I don't know why it is, but a Yeoman never will obey an order till you've sworn at him." Then reluctantly we set off in single file, working our way back by the bank of a stream, and still under cover of the rise in the ground, a little way up which we found one of our Sussex men, with his horse bogged to the neck. Further on we paused a moment, and the Fife man, saying that he thought the wound was not mortal, suggested that it would be well for somebody to be with Stanley so as to prevent him from rolling on it, and then asked permission to return. My Fife friend had not seen what I had. He had only seen where the bullet went in, not where it came out. Seeing that the captain was about to give him permission, I said "Mr. Stanley is my officer, sir, and I have the right to go," and he let me. I gave one my almost-empty bandolier, and another my haversack, telling him it contained three letters for the post, and-if necessary, to post them. My rifle I had already thrown into a ditch at Sir Elliot's command. Then I worked my way back, hoping that I should not be shot before reaching him. I got there all right, and evidently unseen; lying down by him, I arranged my hat so as to keep the sun off his face, and cutting off part of my left shirt-sleeve, with the water from my bottle, used half of it to bathe his temples and wipe his bubbling, half-open mouth. The other I moistened, and laid over the wound. He was quite unconscious, of course, and his case hopeless. Once I thought he was gone, but was mistaken. The second time, however, there was no mistake. I waited by the brave man-who had been our troop leader for the last fortnight, and who had, I am sure, never known fear-for some time deliberating what to do. Shots were still being fired from somewhere in my vicinity, while our firing I had gloomily noted had receded, and finally ceased. By-and-bye, all was silent, then a bird came and chirped near me and a butterfly flitted by. At length, as it appeared to me useless to wait by a dead man, I determined to get back to camp, if possible, instead of waiting to be either shot in cold blood, or made a prisoner. After carefully going through all his pockets, from which I took his purse, watch, whistle, pipe, pouch, and notebook, and, attaching his glasses to my belt, having arranged him a little and laid my bloody handkerchief over his face, I got up, and worked my way along by the river bank till compelled to go into the open. I trusted to a great extent to my khaki on the dry grass, and daresay it saved me from making much of a mark; but spotted I was, and from the right and left the bullets came very thick and unpleasantly close. For about a mile I was hunted on the right and left like a rabbit. At first I ran a little, but was done, and soon dropped into a staggering walk. After a while I came on Dr. Welford and his orderly behind some rocks, just coming out, but when he heard my news he turned back, and, as I refused to use his horse, which he offered me, at my request rode off, and got potted at a good deal. Further on, he waited for me. He is a brick, our doctor; and when he learnt I was thirsty, and he saw my tired condition (the sun on my bare head had been most unpleasant) he offered me a drop of whisky and water, adding, "You'd better have it when we get round the bend of the kopje ahead." I thanked him, and said I thought it would be more enjoyable there. Enjoy it I did. Finally I reached the camp and told the captain the sad news, at the same time handing in the gallant officer's belongings. His watch was at 12.5 when I left him. Sir Elliot was most kind to me, and said I had acted gallantly, and he had told the major (commanding us). Then Major Browne came up, and he was also very complimentary. Of course, there was nothing in what I had done that any other man would not have done, and I told them so, especially as the example set by the captain made it impossible for a man to be other than cool. Lieutenant Stanley, who took command of us when we left Pretoria a fortnight ago, had soon become very popular, for he was a thorough sportsman, keen as mustard, quite unaffected and absolutely fearless. I feel pleased with myself for taking everything off the poor fellow before I left him; for when, late last night, the ambulance came in with him, the doctor's orderly told me that they found him stripped of his boots, gaiters, and spurs-which was all that were left worth taking. His Burial. "And far and wide, They have done and died, By donga, and veldt, and kloof, And the lonely grave Of the honored brave, Is a proof-if we need a proof." E. Wallace. Tuesday, September 18th. We buried Lieut. Stanley yesterday at mid-day, the sergeants acting as bearers, we Sussex men (of the dozen of us, two were with him at Eton and one at Oxford) composed the firing party, while the whole squadron, officers and men followed. About three-quarters of a mile from our present camp, in the garden of a Scotchman, named Jennings, by a murmuring, running stream, and beneath some willows, we laid him. By the side of the grave was a bush of Transvaal may, covered in white blossom, at the end were roses to come, and away back and front were the white-covered pear trees and pink-covered peach, perfuming the clear, fresh air, while on the sides of the babbling stream were ferns and a species of white iris. Sewn up in his rough, brown, military blanket, he was lowered to his last resting-place, the major reading the Burial Service. "-- Is cut down like a flower." He could not have been more than twenty-five. Then, "Fire three volleys of blank ammunition in the air. Ready! Present! Fire!" Again and again, and the obsequies of a brave officer and true English gentleman and sportsman were over. | Stanley, Henry Thomas (I01468)

| 266 | --- "Oxford Journal" 22 July 1758, page 4: In a Pamphlet lately published by Mr. Sexton, are insterted several Cases of Cures performed by these Powders, the first of which is the following: The third of March 1755, I was applied to by the Hon. John Hamilton, to accompany him to his Country Seat at Bearhill, in Berkshire, near Henly upon Thames. His Daughter, a young Lady about four Years old, had been inoculated for the Small-pox, and was dangerously ill, the Pock very small, sunk away, and much discoloured; she was convulsed, breather short, and was delirious; and attended with Hiccoughs; (Symptoms prestaging Death;) she had been attended by a Phusician, who gave but little Hopes of her Recovery. I immediately gave her half a Paper of my Powder, and continued them every four Hours for the first Night; in the Morning following she appeared something better, the Confulsions were abated, and her Breath not so depressed: I continued the Powders as before the succeeding twelve Hours; after which Time the Alteration was so great, as to give the most chearful Hopes of a happy Event: The Pock was now fully thrown out, the Delirium and Convulsions entirely gone off, and a few Days perfected her Recovery. She had no Secondary Fever at all, nor was any other Medicine used to asist besides my Powders. The surprising Success of this Case was not greateer that the Joy it gave to the most fond Parents, who had the Happiness of seeing an only Child restored, which before was feared to have been a lost one. The thorough Conviction and Satisfaction, both Mr. Hamilton and the Physician had of the specific Virtues of this Medicine, induced the former to purchase a large Quantity of it, (from his benevolent Disposition) to give to the Poor who should be likewise afflicted, and by his own Inspection, without any other Assistance, performed several Cures that he transmitted me an Account of; and by his Approbation I was permitted to relate this Case. --- "The Scots Magazine" 1 Oct 1764, page 56: Nov. 4.

Her Grace's disorder arose from a fall, as she was about to sit down; by which accident the spine became so much injured, as almost immediately to paralyse her whole frame. ---"Kentish Gazette" 17 Apr 1812, page 2: The Most Noble Jane, Duchess of Gordon, who died on Saturday, was the second daughter of Sir William Maxwell, a Baronet, of Monreath, in the county of Galloway, and was early celebrated for her talents as well as her beauty. Her sprightly wit, her captivating manners, and her elegant person, made her the toast of the Caledonian circle: and in the bloom of her charms she had the ambition to do more than shine in an assembly, or excel in a dance. She aimed to gain the esteem and render herself worthy the friendship of all the most eminent Literati of her country; she was the correspondent of Lord Kaimes, of Dr. Beattie, of Dr. Rbertson, of Mr. Home, and the other eminent writers of that day; and in her very exclusive correspondence with these authors, she displayed a depth of reading, a solidity of judgment, and a taste in composition, which, if her letters should ever reach the public, would place her high in the estimation of the literary world, --- with all this she was in the society of the gayest of the gay. Wherever she came she made a sort of holiday, as was happily expressed in an Impromptu by the Honourable Henry Erskine, on her Grace's saying one day during the Leith races, that there was not likely to be any sport, so she would not go. "Not go," -- says Mr. Erskine -- "--- Why that is, as if the Sun should say, A cold dark morning this, I will not rise to-day." Miss Jane Maxwell was married to his Grace the Duke of Gordon on the 18th of October, 1767, by whom she had two sons and five daughters, all of whom are now living (except Lord Alexander), and all of whom she had the merit of educating, with that ability, zeal, and solicitude, which secured to her the satisfaction of splendid success. She gave to the world of fashion the example of a mother devoting every moment of her life to the happiness of her family, and she had the consolation of seeing the complete triumph of her affectionate exertions. Her son George, Marquis of Huntley, remains unmarried. --- Her daughter, Lady Charlotte, is Duchess of Richmod; Lady Madeline, married first Sir Robert Sinclair, Bart. and secondly to the --- Fysh Palmer, esq.; Lady Susan is now Duchess of Manchester; Lady Louisa is the Marchioness Cornwallis; and Lady Georgiana is Duchess of Bedford. So splendid an establishment of a family is without parallel in the history of the Peerage: and it is a circumstance as extraordiary, that all these distinguished persons surrounded the bed of their revered parent, when with pious gratitude to the Giver of all Good, she anticipated her dissolution. On Friday last, when symptoms of mortification appeared, and she felt the approach of death, she desired to have the Sacrament administered to her at two o'clock on Saturday; but afterwards feeling the rapid advance of the moment, which she contemplated with RESIgnation, she desired that she might partake of the holy rite at an earlier hour: and accordingly, together with all her children, she received the Communion and soon after breathed her last in their arms. -- By her own desire the remains of her Grace are to be conveyed for interment to her beautiful seat of Kilrara, to which place the Marquis of Huntley accompanies the body.

Richard Fitzroy Somerset died yesterday at the Southern Hospital, Liverpool. He arrived in Liverpool on Sunday from the West Coast of Africa, and as he was in a critical state from black water fever he was conveyed to the hospital. Lord Raglan, his brother, and other relatives were at the hospital when death occurred. Captain Somerset, who was 33 years of age, was an officer of the Grenadier Guards. He was aide-de-camp to Lord Wolseley when his Lordship was commander-in-chief in Ireland, and he went to the West Coast in February last year in connection with the formation of the new frontier native force. --- "Monmouthshire Beacon" 10 Mar 1899, page 5: DEATH AND FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN THE HON. RICHARD FITZROY SOMERSET. It is our painful duty to record the death of captain the Hon. Richard FitzRoy Somerset, youngest son of the late and youngest brother of the present Lord Raglan, which occurred on Thursday of last week, the 2nd inst, at Liverpool. The deceased officer only landed at that seaport on the Sunday previous from Lagos, with his health so shattered by the West African climate that he was unable to proceed on his journey to London. The members of the family were summoned but despite the best medical attention possible the deceased succumbed, as stated, to an attack of what is known as Black Water fever. The deceased officer was thirty-three years of age. He joined the Grenadier Guards in August 1886, and obtained the rank of Captain in March of last year. Eighteen months ago he was selected for special service on the west coast of Africa with the view of organising a new battalion of native troops there, and during his residence at Jebba devoted himself with untiring energy and indefatigable zeal to turning the natives of the country into useful troops. He penetrated into parts of the hinterland never before traversed by white men and his reports were highly thought of at the Colonial Office. He gave his health and strength ungrudgingly to his country and his untimely death deprives the army of the services of an able and promising officer. During Viscount Wolseley's command in Ireland, Capt. Somerset acted as his aide-de-camp, and his cousin, Earl Beauchamp, who proceeds shortly to New South Wales as Governor, had asked him to undertake a similar duty in that colony. Captain Somerset in his early military career was a lieutenant in the R.M.R.E. (M). . . .[Further report of the funeral.] --- "South Wales Daily News" 06 Mar 1899, page 4: FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN THE HON. R. SOMERSET. The funeral of Captain the Hon. Richard Fitzroy Somerset, youngest brother of Lord Raglan, who died at Liverpool on teh 2nd inst. from African fever, took place at Llandenny, midway between Usk and Raglan, on Saturday afternoon. The funeral party -- the military portion of which, from London, had joined the family portion at Pontypool Road Station -- arrived at Llandenny Station at 2.40, and was met by a number of parishioners. The mourners were as follow:-- Lord and Lady Raglan, Capt. the Hon. Arthur Somerset, the Hon. Violet Somerset, the Hon. Mrs. Walter Farquhar, Mr. Raglan T.H. Somerset, the Hon. Granville Somerset, Lord Beauchamp, the Hon. Edward Lygon, the Hon. Robert Lygon, Colonel Eaton (commanding Grenadier Guards), Colonel Crabbe, Captain Corry, Lord Kilcoursie, Lord Edward Cecil, Major C. Fergusson, Major R. Gilmore, and Mr. R.G. Munn. The coffin, which was of polished oak with massive brass furnishings, had on the breastplate the inscription:-- "Captain the Honourable Richard Fitzroy Somerset (Grenadier Guards). Died 2nd March, 1899. Aged 33 years." The Union Jack served as a pall, and on it were placed the usual accoutrements of the deceased and the beautiful wreaths of the family. The Rev. H.P. Somerset, rector of Crickhowell, and cousin of the deceased, met the cortege at the churchyard gates, and read the greater part of the service, the Rev. C.H. Fardell (vicar of Llandenny) reading the lesson only. The hymns commencing "Brief life is here our portion" and "Through the night of doubt and sorrow" were sung in the church. A party of eight sergeants of the battalions to which deceased had been attached carried the body to its last resting place, adjoining that of his father which had been lined with moss and adorned with snowdrops. Beautiful wreaths, etc., were sent by Lord and Lady Raglan and other members of the family, from Colonel Eaton and the officers of the regiment, the N.C.O.'s of the Grenadier Guards, Earl and Countess Stanhope, Lord Edward Cecil, Colonel Herbert, C.B., Sir A.F.

Only a few weeks before her death she asked tht steaps should be taken to arrange, at her expense, an outing to the sea for the children of the Sunday School. Every case of serious sickness evoked her sympathy, and help from her in the most needed form was often provided day by day. "It was a very rare thing for her seat in church to be empty on a Sunday. In this she did her part in setting a splendid example to all of the first duty of man to his God, viz., 'to worship Him.' In the spring fo this year she provided new and costly furniture for the altar." The first part of the funeral service took place at Fifehead on Wednesday, Canon Ross (recotr of Swindon) and the Rev. B, Hill (rector of Fifehead Neville) officiating. The hymns, "There is a land of pure delight" and "Let Saints on earth," were sung. At the close Chopin's "Funeral March" was played by the Organist (Mr. Symonds). . . . Owing to the limited accommodation in the tiny church, it was impossible for all who wished to be present to find seats. The body was conveyed by motor-hearse to Boxley, near Maidstone, where the interment took place yesterday (Thursday). | Whatman, Mary Eliza Cornwallis (I01382)

| 308 | --- "Staffordshire Advertiser" 9 Jun 1838, page 3: FUNERAL OF THE COUNTESS OF HARROWBY This mournfully interesting ceremony took place at Sandon early on the morning of Tuesday last. The solemn processing having been formed at the Hall, moved in the following order. Two Undertakers, on horseback. Carriage, containing the Vicar and Curate of Sandon. Eighteen Tenants, on horseback. Six Under-tenants, on foot. Two Servants, on horseback. State lid with plumes. Four Under Bearers. HEARSE Drawn by six horses. Four Under Bearers. First Mourning Coach, containing Lord Viscount Sandon, Hon. George Fortescue, Hon Granville Dudley Ryder, Captain Saurin, R.N., Hon J.J. Wortley, Mr Hugh Fortescue. Second Mourning Coach containing four servants of the househod. Third Mourning Coach containing three servants of the household. The appearance of this mournful procession moving slowly through the park, had a most striking effect. On its arrival at the church gate, the body was borne into the church in the midst of nearly the whole inhabitants of the village; the Rev. W.E. Coldwell reading the introductory sentences. Along the path on each side, were ranged the children of the deceased Countess's schools. The service within the church was read by the Rev Edward Harland and the vicar. The procession then moved back, in the same order, to the east end of the church, where is a spacious vault. The coffin, which we observed was covered with rich purple velvet, and emblazoned with the arms of the family, bore the following inscription: SUSAN COUNTESS OF HARROWBY Died May, 26, 1838. Aged 66 years. After it was lowered into its final resting place, the Rev W.E. Coldwell read the remainder of the funeral service to the deeply affected company by which he was surrounded. At its conclusion he proceeded to address, as we understood him, at the request of the family, his sorrowing parishioners, with deep solemnity and feeling. We understand the Rev. gentleman preaches on the occasion at Sandon, on Sunday morning next. | Leveson-Gower, Susan (I00530)

"Edward Eliot of Port Eliot," whose book-plate is reproduced in this number, from an original in the possession of Mr. W.H.K. Wright, was the eldest son of William Eliot, grandson of the famous Sir John Eliot, of Port Eliot, co. Cornwall; and upon the death of his cousin, Daniel Eliot, or Port Eliot, whose only child, Katherine, married Browne Willis, of Whaddon, co. Bucks, he succeeded to the Port Eliot estates. Edward Eliot married in April, 1718, Elizabeth, daughter and coheir of James Craggs, Postmaster-General, by whom he had one son and one daughter, his only children, who both died unmarried; and it is her arms that appear on the escutcheon of pretence in the book-plate, the arms being, Arg., a fesse plain gu. double cotised wavy as., for Eliot of Port Eliot; on an escutcheon of pretence, sa., on a fesse or, betw. three mullets erm. as many cross-crosslets of the field, for Craggs. The date of the plate is probably soon after his marriage with Elizabeth Craggs, in 1718, and must have been before 1722, as the owner died on the 18th and was buried on the 29th of September in that year. It is to be noted that the arms of the first wife of Edward Eliot, who was Susanna, daughter of Sir William Coryton, Bart., by whom he had no issue, do not appear on the book-plate, which is an excellent example of this style of plate --- a variation from the fish-scale pattern. The Eliot plate, which appeared amongst the Plates for Identification in the "Ex Libris Journal" for September, 1896, and was described on page 149 of the following (October) number, is that of Richard Eliot (not Elliot), younger brother of the owner of the above plate, being second son (as the crescent in his book-plate indicates) of William Eliot, and was baptised at St. Germans, Oct. 28, 1694, and buried there Dec. 3, 1748. He was M.P., Auditor and Receiver-General to the Prince of Wales. He succeeded his nephew, James Eliot, at Port Eliot, in 1748 [sic], and was father of the first Lord Eliot --- and consequently great-great-grandfather of the present Earl of St. Germans. This Richard Eliot married, 4th Mar., 1725 [sic[, Harriot, natural daughter of the Right Hon. James Craggs, Secretary of State to King George I., for which lady the impaled coat was granted, viz., Quarterly, per cross eng. or and az., in the first quarter an escallop shell gu. In a family pedigree this coat is made per cross wavy, no engrailed; and in this pedigree it is first placed on an escutcheon of pretence, for the said Richard Eliot, and then placed among other quarterings which have since come in. To place the arms of a wife, altho' an heiress, on an escutcheon of pretence, was by no means a general practice at the date the plate was engraved, and if so used it was also impaled. Arthur J.

| 327 | --- "The Beauties of England and Wales" by John Britton, 1801, page 381: Gives date of portrait in PE Dining Room of John Eliot of Cotelands as 1574. --- "The Life of Sir John Eliot" by Harold Hulme, 1957, page 17-8: For nearly two hundred years the Eliots had lived in Devon, where they were not importrant people, small free-holders at best. The founder of the family's fortunes and the first to attain prominence was John Eliot, gentleman, merchant, and mayor of Plymouth. In 1544 when England was at war with France, Henry VIII assisted Eliot to equip four ships and eight barques with which 'to annoy our enemies and defend our realm'. Soon after the death of King Henry, John Eliot leased the manor of Cuddenbeak in St. Germans, Cornwall, from the Bishop of Exeter. He was the first of the family to cross the Tamar into Cornwall. Cuddenbeak was an old episcopal palace originally built in the tenth century for the Bishop of Cornwall. Situated on a hilltop overlooking the Tiddy, a tidal tributary of the Tamar, it was about six miles from Plymouth. Looking down from Cuddenbeak John Eliot must have been entranced by the old Norman church and Augustinian priory flanked on two sides by copses of beach and meadow lands rolling to the river bank. He must have looked with yearning at these buildings and broad acres which a short time ago had fallen into the hands of the Champernown family in consequence of the monastic depredations of Henry VIII. In 1565 Henry Campernown sold to John Eliot od Cuddenbeak for 500 pounds the priory of St. Germand and nearly two hundred acres. In consequence Eliot became a vassal of Queen Elizabeth. He held this Cornish property in fee simply of the Crown by service of one-fiftieth of a knight's fee. John Eliot made the former home of the priors his residence, but not until he had completely rebuilt it and had turned it into an attractive and extensive Tudor dwelling which he called Port Eliot. . . . When he died on April 29, 1577, at the ripe age of seventy-four, he left his wife Grace and his nephew Richard as his executors and RESIduary legatees. * A.L. Rowse, "Tudor Cornwall" (London, 1941), p. 202, speaking of John Eliot, the uncle of Richard and great undle of Sir John, says he was not rich and that the total value of his estate was 34 pounds 5s. a year. This figure is substantiated by Port Eliot Title Deeds, no. 20a. But as a measure of the real wealth of the Eliots it is misleading. Its source is a valuation for the Court of Wards and Liverires presented in 1578 to enable Richard Eliot to obatin livery of his uncle's estate. Such a valuation was notoriously low in comparison with the actual return from the properties involved. For examply, in 1578 and again 1635 under the same conditions Port Eliot was valued at 7 pounds per annum. But in 1632 Port Eliot actually produced an income of 66 pounds 15s. 10d. P.E. Munim. Room, Manor of Cuddenbeak Title Deeds, Bundle LXIX. Consequently, it can safely be said that the actual annual value of the estate inherited by Richard Eliot from his uncle John must have amounted at least to 300 pounds, if not a good deal more. | Eliot, John (I00289)

Ada Ramsbottom and her sister, Emily Ramsbottom Wilbraham, were Claire's friends. Their parents were James and Emma Ramsbottom. On 7 May 1845, Claire sent Mary Shelley a letter of introduction to Ada whom she called a "charming girl," and very "domestic" (CC II: 429-30). On 23 June 1845, Mary Shelley responded to Claire, informing her that she had invited both sisters to a party to celbrate the Regatta in Putney. Claire wrote back, confirming that Ada greatly admired Mary Shelley. On 28 June 1845, Mary Shelley recorded in a letter that Ada and her sister had attended her party and she noted her satisfaction with Mrs. Wilbraham's looks. Mrs. Wilbraham apparently wore "rouge" (LMWS III: 189). Mary Shelley did not, however, mention Ada, an omission on which Claire remarked in her letter of 4 July 1845. Mary Shelley responded on 7-10 July 1845, praising Mrs. Wilbraham's complexion and noting that she had not said much to Ada, but that she had found Ada to be a pleasant young woman (LMWS III: 194). By October 1845, Mary Shelley was writing to Claire about prospective wives for Percy Florence and she mentioned Ada Ramsbottom (LMWS III: 243). --- "England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1966" (1914, P, Ph, Page 1 of 9) : Peyton Ada Matilda of Eaton Corner Cobham Surrey widow died 21 November 1912 Administration (with Will limited) London 10 June to Charles Edward Ramsbottom Isherwood colonel His Majesty's Army and Walter Lawrence Evelyn Gordon esquire attorneys of George Frederic Prudston steward.

After the terrible engagement of Ferozeport, the 21st Dec., 1845, the body of Somerset was found on the field of battle, on the following morning, benumbed with cold, and a most ghastly spectacle: he was still alive, and quite sensible.

The gallant deceased was born May 6, 1816, and entered the Grenadier Guards in 1832. He was for a short period aide de camp to the Commander of the Forces in Ireland, and subsequently proceeded to China with the expedition under Lord Saltoun, on the staff of that distinguished general, and afterwards was attached to the staff of Lord Ellenborough.

| 364 | --- "The Life of Sir John Eliot" by Harold Hulme, 1957, page 18: Richard Eliot inherited most of his uncle's Cornish and extensive Devonshire properties. Among them was the lease of Cuddenbeak in St. Germans. But the mansion house of Port Eliot, orchards, gardens, and about fifty acres of land had been given by John Eliot to his wife Grace as her jointure. Eventually this estate reverted to Richard and his heirs. From 1577 to about 1598 he was living at Cuddenbeak, while from the latter date to his death in 1609 he made Port Eliot his residence. Richard Eliot married Bridget, daughter of Nicholas Carswell of Hatch Arundell in Devonshire. Their son and only child [sic], John Eliot, the future knight, was born at Cuddenbeak on April 11, 1592. The middle-aged father must have been overjoyed at the birth of a son and heir. When, on April 20, the child was baptized in the old Norman church festivities were the order of the day at Cuddenbeak. Richard Eliot invited his neighbours to drink to the health and prosperity of his son and feast upon the bounty of his lands. It is said that the lord of Cuddenbeak and Port Eliot 'by his ancient hospitality and generous living [had] attracted the acquaintance of most of the gentlemen in his neighbourhood who frequently visited him at his house at St. Germans'. | Eliot, Richard (I00309)

Miss Hester Santlow's charms brought to her feet some of the most eminent men of the time, including "the hero of Blenheim." In 1709 [sic] she married Barton Booth the great actor, bringing with her an ample dowry. After her marriage she abandoned the ballet, and made her appearance as Dorcas Zeal, in Shadwell's Fair Quaker of Deal, with genuine success. "The gentle softness of her voice," says Cibber, "the composed innocence of her aspect, the modesty of her dress, the reserved decency of her gesture, and the simplicity of the sentiments that naturally fell from her, made her seem the amiable maid she represented." She survived her husband forty years. --- "Some Account of the English Stage" Vol. 3 by John Genest, 1832, page 375: Mrs. Hester Booth in all probability did not act after this season -- she seems to have been a pleasing actress with no great powers -- Theophilus Cibber speaking of her as Mrs. Santlow says -- "She was a beautiful woman, lovely in her countenance, delicate in her form, a pleasing actress, and a most admirable dancer; generally allowed, in the last mentioned part of her profession, to have been superiour to all who had been seen before her, and perhaps she has not been since excelled." --- "The Lives and Characters of the Most Eminent Actors and Actresses of Great Britain and Ireland" Part 1, by Theophilus Cibber, page 33: In the year 1719 Mr. Booth married the celebrated Mrs. Hester Santlow: --- She was a beautiful Woman, lovely in her Countenance, delicate in her form, a pleasing Actress, and a most admirable Dancer; generally allowed, in the last-mentioned part of her profession, to have been superior to all who had been seen before her, and perhaps she has not been since excelled: -- But, to do her Justice, she was more than all this, -- she was an excellent good wife; -- which he has frequently, in my hearing, talked of in such a Manner, as nothing but a sincere heart-felt gratitude could express; and I was often an eyewitness (our families being intimate) of their conjugal felicity. Her tender careful attendance on him, during his tedious illness, will not soon be forgot by his friends. --- "The Dancing Master" Translated from French by J. Essex, 1728: We have had a great many women attempt to be Theatrical Dancers, but none ever arrived to that height and pitch of applause as the incomparable Mrs. Booth, in whom art and nature are so beautifully wove together, that the whole web is of a piece so exquisitely formed to length and breadth, that the produce of the many different characters she represents is the wonder and admiration of the present age, and will scarce be credited by the succeeding. I shall beg leave to mention the Chaconne, Saraband, Menuet, in all which she appears with that grace, softness, and address none can look on but with attention, pleasure and surprise. She far excels all that went before her, and must be the just subject of imitation to all that dare attempt to copy after her. Besides all these, the Harlequin is beyond description, and the Hussar another opposite character in which she has no rival. All which show how many extensive as well as extraordinary qualifications must concentre in one person to form so bright a genius: A subject becoming the most elevated wit to describe, and the politest taste to contemplate. --- "The Cornhill Magazine" Vol. 16 - 20, 1867, page 477: Wilks looked at this "hash," and did not object to it. He was to play Orlando himself, he said, and he did, having for the first Rosalind on record as played by a woman, Mrs. Booth, the "Santlow, famed for dance," of Gay. Wonderful woman she was, with her dash of aristocratic beauty, and her all-conquering ways, and her supreme love for her husband; in token of which, and to indicate her enduring sorrow thirty years after his death, this first of our Rosalinds erected the tablet to his memory in Westminster Abbey, which still exists, but which, through dust, damp, and darkness, can now be deciphered only with difficulty. . . . A handsomer pair than the Orlando and Rosalind who presented themselves on the stage of Drury Lane, on the 9th of January, 1723, the stage could not then supply. How they acted is nowhere on record; but Wilks's Orlando must have lacked no grace the part demanded; and Mrs. Booth's Rosalind was, in all probability, marked by more sauciness than passionate feeling in sentiment or expression. One thing is certain, that the public did not take to the piece kindly, and that they manifested a desire to have Shakspeare's original play, and not Johnson's mangling of three or four, to make an imperfect medley out of one perfect whole. Whence came this English Rosalind no biography can tell. She first took the town by storm as a dancer. Terpsichore herself seemed to have visited the earth in the person of Hester Santlow, one of whose great points in the ballet was to let her clustered auburn hair suddenly loose over a pair of lustrous shoulders that carried the hearts of the whole house upon them. She was so full of fascination that even Marlborough would have given her gold for a smile; and Craggs, a cold Secretary of STate, did give her a house, where he was master and she was mistress. The daughter of that equivocal household married (successively) into the families of Hamilton and Eliot, whereby the present Marquis of Abercorn and Earl of St. German's are representatives or descendants of the earliest of our English Rosalinds, who left the ballet for comedy, but who was hardly equal to the exigencies of Shakspearean dramas. Yet her gifts were many; she had a soft, sweet voice, a refined aspect, and much intelligence, but she who originated, with such marked success the part of Dorcas Zeal left no mark in Rosalind. | Santlow, Hester (I00841)

The boy listened very attentively to what she had said; and having kept silence for some minutes, while he seemed to be meditating upon what he heard, he at last said -- "Aunt, I very much pity Eve." "My dear," replied the Lady, "what brought Eve to your recollection on this occasion?" "Why, Ma'am," answered his Lordshiop, "what you have just said to me: I was in the high road to be a naughty boy; but your good counsel stopped me short, and shewed me my error -- Now I was thinking that poor Eve was to be pitited; for when she was tempted by the Serpent to go astray, and do what would offend God, she had not a good Aunt by her side to give her wholesome advice, and preserve her from the danger she was going to fall into."

April 3. At Stratton Park, near Winchester, aged 75, Sir Thomas Baring, the second Bart. of Larkbear, co. Devon (1793), a Deputy Lieut. of Hampshire. Sir Thomas Baring was born on the 12th of June, 1772, the eldest son of Sir Francis Baring, a Devonshire gentleman, who founded the London branch of the family, by Henrietta, daughter of William Herring, esq. of Croydon, and co-heir of Thomas Herring, Archbishop of Canterbury. He was the eldest of five brothers; of whom the two next, Lord Ashburton and henry Baring, esq. are both commemorated in our present Obituary; William died in 1820, and George, the youngest, is still living. Sir Thomas Baring succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father Sept. 12, 1810. He was best known for his fine taste in art, and his magnificent collection of pictures: which have, since his death, been brought to sale at the rooms of Messrs. Christie and Manson. He never entered much into political affairs. He sat in Parliament for Wycombe in the parliaments of 1830 and 1831; but RESIgned his seat in the latter, before its dissolution in 1832, to Colonel the Hon. C. Grey. Sir Thomas Baring married, at Calcutta, in 1794, Mary Ursula, eldest daughter of Charles Sealy, esq. of Calcutta, barrister at law; and by that lady, who died on the 16th July, 1846, he had issue four sons and three daughters. The former are 1. the Right Hon. Francis Thornhill Baring, late Chancellor of the Exchequer, and M.P. for Portsmouth, who has succeeded to the dignity of a Baronet; he married, first, in 1825, Jane, fourth daughter of the late Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart. and secondly, in 1841, Lady Arabella Geogina Howard, second daughter of Kenneth-Alexander first Earl of Effingham; 2. Thomas Baring, esq. M.P. for Huntingdon, and now head of the London house, who is unmarried; 3. John Baring, esq. of Oakwood, Sussex, who married, in 1842, Charlotte-Amelia, eldest daughter of the Rev. George Porcher, of Maiden Erleigh, Bucks, who died in 1846; and 4. the Rev. Charles Baring, who married, first, in 1830 . . . [mistakenly prints the name of Mary Ursula Sealy]; and secondly, in 1846, his cousin Caroline, daughter of the late Thomas Read Kemp, esq. of Dale Park, Sussex (by Frances, daughter of Sir Frances Baring, Bart.). The daughters are: Charlotte, married in 1833 to H.G. Wells, esq.; Emily, married in 1837 to the Rev. William Maxwell Du Pre, Vicar of Wooburn, Bucks; and Frances, married in 1840 to her cousin the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, M.P. (son of Peter Caesar Labouchere, esq. by Dorothy-Elizabeth, fourth daughter of Sir Francis Baring, Bart.) now President of the Board of Trade, who has just purchased Stoke Park, in Buckinghamshire, from mr. Granville Penn, for 62,000 pounds and is about to erect a gallery for the many choice pictures which he already possesses. --- "Thomas George, Earl of Northbrook, G.C.S.I.: A Memoir" by Sir Bernard Mallet, 1908, page 265: HIS PICTURES. Of these indoor interests the first undoubtedly was the arrangement and cataloguing of his great collection of pictures, most of them inherited [as noted above p. 141] from his uncle, Mr. Thomas Baring. The following extract from a description given of these pictures in the Times on Lord Northbrook's death brings out the point that the taste for pictures was a family trait of the Barings. The writer remakred that the Northbrook collection offered a "very interesting example of the way in which the great English collections were formed in teh golden age of picture buying which followed the French Revolution and the Great War, and which may be said to have lasted up to 1850. It may be said that the Barings have always been buyers of choice pictures. The Ashburton collection with its splendid Rembrandts and its fine cabinet works of the Dutch school is one instance of the connoisseurship of the family." But with Lord Northbrook the love of pictures was a more personal matter than this extract would indicate. Though he can hardly be said to have possessed what is known as the "artistic temperament," he was a lover of all beautiful things, and as we have seen himself an exellent draughtsman. The possession of these pictures was a constant and daily delight to him, their lighting and hanging a perpetual interest, and he enjoyed few things more than showing them to an appreciative visitor. He devoted much time to the compilation, in consultation with various high authorities, of catalogues which are models of what such volumes can be. The London pictures are illustrated by photographs, and the Stratton collection by small sketches of the principal pictures, more than one from his own hand and others by his daughter and his son-in-law, Colonel Crichton. In the introduction written by himself Lord Northbrook states that the collection was, "with very few exeptions, made by Mr. Thomas Baring. As the second son of Sir Thomas Baring he had been brought up in familiarity with good pictures, for his grandfather, Sir Francis Baring, acquired a fine collection of Dutch masters at the end of the 18th Century. On the death of Sir Francis in 1810 his son Sir Thomas parted with the Dutch collection to the Prince Regent, and formed a gallery mainly composed of Italian pictures. Afterwards he added to it some works by English and Dutch master. | Baring, Thomas (I01868)

He was a man who relished controversy rather than consensus, and thus he might have settled for the role of backbench gadfly, but instead he aspired to high ministerial office. He unsuccessfully stood against Margaret Thatcher for the Tory leadership in 1975 and his failure to be included in her cabinet from 1979 was a great disappointment to him. This he did not hide, but he bore it with a commendable lack of rancour. Peyton was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Oxford. At that point, he showed only a modest interest in politics, confessing: "I became overfond of racing." He joined the supplementary reserve of the 15/19 Hussars, and, with the onset of the second world war, was despatched to France. He was taken prisoner in Belgium in 1940, an experience he graphically described in his autobiography Without Benefit of Laundry (1997). His younger brother was killed in action at St Nazaire in 1942. As a prisoner, he studied law, and, after the war made tentative steps in pursuing a legal career, but the attractions of politics proved stronger. In the 1950 general election, he unsuccessfully fought the Labour stronghold of Bristol Central, but in 1951 won Yeovil. His first decade at Westminster was spent on the backbenches. He was a natural "below the gangway" politician, with an eye for the political jugular and an acerbic wit. From there, he became the parliamentary private secretary to Nigel Birch, a junior defence minister, a match in style. He joined the government in 1962 as parliamentary secretary to the minister of power but this spell in office was terminated by Labour's general election victory in 1964. He next took office in 1970 with the general election victory of Heath. He was initially appointed minister of transport, but after six months the post was renamed ministry of transport industries. It was a change in name rather than in function, and it was the kind of gobbledygook that irritated Peyton. He was confronted by a railway system that was dilapidated and under-capitalised, a road network that was outstripped by vehicle growth, and ports that were bedevilled by restrictive practices. He yearned for the transport reforms that were eventually carried out by Conservative ministers after 1979. In minor matters, however, Peyton was able to indicate his implicit radicalism. In 1971, Thomas Cook, British Rail's travel agency, was denationalised. He insisted that a white paper on port finances be reduced from an initial 100 pages to less than five - a modest matter but within Whitehall a triumph. Peyton's greatest claim to ministerial fame was his dispassionate view of nationalised industry executives and his determination to leave them relatively free from political supervision. After the Conservatives' election defeat in February 1974, Heath offered him the novel post of shadow leader of the house. Peyton enthusiastically played the aggressive role that Heath had assigned to him. Nevertheless, he had only a modest time to develop his skills before prime minister Harold Wilson increased his majority in October 1974, and the Conservatives subsequently arranged a leadership election. Peyton stood at the second ballot when Thatcher, who had already despatched Heath on the first vote, defeated all candidates. There was puzzlement as to why Peyton should have stood. Unlike fellow contestants, Geoffrey Howe and James Prior, he had no cabinet experience; and unlike William Whitelaw, another contestant, he had no traditional constituency within the parliamentary party. The gesture, although heroic, did not promote Peyton's reputation. He obtained 11 votes and was bottom of the poll. His behaviour was seen as the tactics of a maverick. Thatcher offered him the post of agriculture in her shadow cabinet. He loyally carried out this task; but the man and the post were not an ideal partnership. Peyton was too honest to accommodate the special pleading that dominates agricultural politics. On the other hand, his determination to end the distortions of the "green" pound were generally approved by farmers. The Conservative election in 1979 was an acutely unhappy episode for Peyton. All other members of the shadow cabinet were confirmed in office; he alone was excluded. He made public his disappointment, but he was as good as his word in disavowing any plans to be an embittered backbench critic. He was sent to the Lords in 1983, from where he frequently questioned the wisdom of the Commons. Peyton also managed to pursue other activities. He was chairman of the British subsidiary of the American company Texas Instruments (1974-90) and of British Alcan Aluminium (1987-91). As treasurer of the Zoological Society of London (1984-91), which is responsible for London Zoo and Whipsnade wild animal park, there was much public interest, and rancour, over measures needed to repair the society's finances. Peyton was much concerned that these should be put on a sound footing and that this would require government financial assistance. Eventually, Peyton, and others, RESIgned when efforts failed to bring about fiscal realism. Peyton was an essentially private person. Few realised the extent of his grief at the loss of his brother, and later, the childhood death of one of his sons. He may not have succeeded in the quest for political office, but there can be no doubt about the impact of his craggy individualism, a quality he brought to Westminster. Interestingly, he opposed capital punishment. He is survived by his second wife, Mary, whom he married in 1966, and by the son and daughter of his first marriage. · John Wynne William Peyton (Lord Peyton of Yeovil), politician, born February 13 1919; died November 22 2006 ---- Obituary in "The Times" 24 Nov 2006 Tory minister who advised Edward Heath to go like a good sport after his defeat by Margaret Thatcher John Peyton was one of the four senior Conservatives present when Edward Heath was told the result of the first ballot for the Conservative leadership in February 1975. When asked what action Heath, unexpectedly beaten into second place by Margaret Thatcher, should take, Peyton said that, though the British had differing views about winners, they admired good losers. When Heath withdrew, Peyton was one of those who was persuaded to enter the second ballot, a decision he regretted, since he came bottom of the poll, gaining only 11. Although Peyton served in Margaret Thatcher?s Shadow Cabinet for four years, he was the only opposition spokesman not to become a minister in May 1979, not surprisingly as his contributions had not always been from the Thatcher hymn sheet. In January 1973, during a discussion on two policy documents, Peyton said that Conservatives should be ?against appeasement and confrontation, but there had to be a third way?, a pre-echo of later Blairite sentiments. Disappointed at his rejection, he told the whips that he intended to change his name to Cinderella and obey the Fairy Godmother?s instructions not to stay out too late. Thereafter he concentrated on his business career, leaving the Commons at the general election of 1983, when he became a life peer. His seat at Yeovil, which he had held for 32 years, was lost to Paddy Ashdown, the future Liberal Democrat leader. John Wynne William Peyton was born in 1919 and educated at Eton, where, as a member of the OTC, he was in the honour guard within the grounds of Windsor Castle at the state funeral of King George V in 1936. In 1937 he went up to Trinity College, Oxford, to read law. He dabbled in university politics and spoke at the Union, then under the presidency of Edward Heath. But in the summer of 1939 he sought a commission in the l5th/l9th Hussars. Going abroad with the British Expeditionary Force, he was captured in Belgium in May 1940. (His younger brother was killed in action at St Nazaire in 1942.) Imprisoned first at Laufen in Bavaria, he was later sent to Warburg in Westphalia. The long years were made endurable by study for his future Bar exams. In the summer of 1942 he was moved to Eichstatt in Bavaria. In the spring of 1945 a forced march to a fourth camp at Moosburg suffered casualties when Allied aircraft strafed the columns which they mistook for German formations. Soon afterwards the camp was liberated by the Americans. He was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple and joined the chambers of Patrick Devlin. One of his first briefs was on House of Lords business, after which he was offered, but declined, the post of assistant private secretary to Lord Jowitt, the Labour Lord Chancellor. In early 1946 he was appointed personal assistant to Walter Monckton on the eve of his tour of duty in India to prepare for the transfer of power. Peyton was at Viceroy?s House when the health of the King Emperor was drunk by Mountbatten for the last time. On his return to England Peyton became a Lloyd?s broker and sought a Conservative candidacy. He fought the Labour stronghold of Bristol Central in the 1950 general election, and entered the Commons in October 1951 as Member for Yeovil. In 1952 he became parliamentary private secretary to Nigel Birch at the Ministry of Defence, an appropriate first step on the rung, as Westland Helicopters and the Fleet Air Arm at Yeovilton were important constituency concerns. Seen by some as a maverick rightwinger (he was later a member of the Monday Club), Peyton was a more complex political persona than that. He was a consistent opponent of capital punishment at a time when this could lead to difficulties in Conservative constituencies. After his spell at the Ministry of Defence, Peyton had to wait eight years for his next post, as parliamentary secretary at the Ministry of Power, in 1962. After the 1964 Tory defeat, he shadowed the post in Opposition until Edward Heath?s reshuffle in the summer of 1966. Peyton felt that his political career was now at an end, but in 1969 Heath invited him to produce a West Country strategy document for the next election, and when the Conservatives unexpectedly won power in June 1970, he was appointed Transport Minister. The post was soon subsumed into a super-ministry in October and his job description became ?Minister for Transport Industries in the Department of the Environment?. He was sceptical of the value of such departmental integration, preferring to plough his own furrow. In November 1970 Peyton had to deal with the aftermath of the collapse of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Port Board, and in January 1971 he announced the sale of British Rail?s travel agency, Thomas Cook. He did not sympathise with the 1971 Industry Bill and when the ?payroll ministers? were whipped to ensure victory over dissident backbenchers, Peyton?s room at the House was the scene of a desolate picnic supper attended by three unhappy ministers. Further controversy came with Peyton?s decision to make the wearing of helmets compulsory for motorcyclists and, later, seatbelts for motorists. The Green Paper of March 1973 on the proposed Channel Tunnel was his responsibility, and he signed the initial agreement with his French counterpart. His friendship with John Betjeman, who accompanied him on some ceremonial railway events, was a feature of this time. Another close friend was William Walton, and he generously allowed Heath to take over the 70th birthday celebrations he had been arranging for the composer, which became a semi-state function at Downing Street in the presence of the Queen Mother. When the Heath Government encountered industrial difficulties in the autumn of 1973, Peyton was a strong advocate of a pre-Christmas election. He believed, not merely with hindsight, that the February 1974 contest was a miscalculation. After the Conservatives? second defeat in the general election of October 1974, Peyton, who had taken up business posts with Texas Instruments (of which he was UK chairman, 1974-90), Alcan Aluminium, and the London and Manchester Assurance Company, became Shadow Leader of the House of Commons, a post in which his humour and geniality were valuable assets at a difficult parliamentary time. In February 1975 he was caught up in the dramatic events following the fall of Heath ? but he was never a serious candidate for the leadership. His place in the leader?s consultative committee was thereafter a tenuous one, and when he was made agriculture spokesman in 1976, he regarded that as one place nearer the door, which indeed closed behind him when the Conservatives returned to office in May 1979. After leaving the Commons and entering the Lords he resumed his business career, becoming chairman of British Alcan Aluminium in 1987. He was an energetic treasurer of the Zoological Society of London, 1984-91. In 1997, Peyton published a memoir, Without Benefit of Laundry. Peyton married in 1947 Diana Clunch, with whom he had two sons, one of whom died in childhood, and a daughter. This marriage was dissolved in 1966, and Peyton married Mary Cobbold. There were no children of his second marriage. He is survived by his wife and by a son and daughter of his first marriage. Lord Peyton of Yeovil, politician, was born on February 13, 1919.
