Extractions: Oxfords Cavalier Mausoleum Author: Andrew Polkey Orders of the day, Volume 34, Issue 1, March/April 2002 Oxfords Cavalier Mausoleum (part 2) is available here On a recent visit to Oxford I paid my respects to the Lucy chapel in Christ Church Cathedral the final resting-place and mausoleum of a number of prominent Royalists from the Civil War period. I had been here some years before on a cursory visit after a Kings Guard regimental banquet at nearby Pembroke College, and armed with a copy of Strangers in Oxford (1), had made a pilgrimage to places associated with the original regiment during its time as a component part of the Oxford Army. A brief foray to the Cathedral located the Lucy chapel and its Cavalier monuments, but I had insufficient time for a closer scrutiny and was too soon obliged to return home north of Trent. In late November 2001 I stood once again in the Lucy chapel, on this occasion with more time to spare and a determination to record the inscriptions. Armed with enough of a working knowledge of Latin to attend a Novus Ordo So it was that I acquired a copy of the transcript and was at last able to discover the identities of the Royalist dead commemorated in the chapel. Though many were buried here in Christ Church during the war, not all possessed memorials, and three of King Charless own family: George Stuart, Lord dAubigny, Lord John Stuart and Lord Bernard Stuart, have no discernible grave. Yet eight individuals did have memorials most dating from the Restoration and when Gilbert Scott restored the Cathedral c1870-6, these were gathered from various parts of the building and placed together in the Lucy chapel.

Back in England in 1646 he worked in his fathers business on the mechanical aspects of textile manufacture. He met Samuel Hartlib , under whose guidance he wrote a tract on education (1647). In it he proposed the formation of a society for the advancement of mechanical arts and manufactures which helped to stimulate the founding of the Royal Society. He moved to Oxford to continue his medical studies and took a doctorate in physick in 1650. He was a member of John Wilkins scientific and philosophical group, a Fellow of Brasenose College, and later its Vice-Principal, Deputy, and then Professor of Anatomy (1651). He also taught chemistry at Oxford and was a Professor of Music at Gresham College. He was highly praised for his intelligence, learning, even genius, and for his eloquence, charm and good looks by

ALBEVILLE MSS. The correspondents in the collection include John Abell; william brouncker, 2ndviscount brouncker; Sir Richard Bulstrode; Michael Carney; Thomas Coxe; Sir http://www.indiana.edu/~liblilly/lilly/mss/html/albeville.html
Extractions: The Albeville mss., 1653-1690, consist of letters to Ignatius White, marquis d'Albeville, and other documents, relating primarily to the Revolution of 1688 in Great Britain. Ignatius White, one of six brothers, was born in Ireland about 1626. White and some of his brothers were acting as spies for various European governments by the mid-1650's and raising troops for the Spanish army. White also performed some diplomatic services for the British government. In 1679 he was made the Marquis d'Albeville by Emperor Leopold. Upon James II's accession to the British throne, Albeville became a royal advisor and in 1687 went to the Hague as envoy extraordinary. After the revolution, Albeville followed James into exile at St. Germain and died there in 1694. [For more information about Albeville's life, see E.S. De Beer, "The Marquis of Albeville and his brothers," English Historical Review, vol. XLV, no. 179 (July 1930), pp. 397-408 (D1 .E5).] The collection is made up largely of letters written to Albeville during his residence at the Hague. These letters were written by persons in England and on the continent and contain many details of current happenings. The letters of Sir George Etherege, James Vernon, Sir Peter Wyche and Robert Yard particularly have information of day-to-day events that make them useful for the study of both political and social history of the period. While not all the correspondence is addressed to Albeville, it was assumed that all unaddressed letters were intended for him. Many of the letters had both Old Style and New Style dating; in those instances the more appropriate dates were chosen for indexing and filing purposes. The letters of James Vernon were dated from information contained in Narcissus Luttrell, A Brief Historical Relation of State Affairs from September 1678 to April 1714. Oxford, At the University Press, 1857. Vol. I (DA430 .L9). The letters of Sir George Etherege of June 23, 1687 and February 5, March 1, March 4 and March 11, 1688 have been published in Sir George Etherege, The Letterbook of Sir George Etherege, ed. by Sybil Rosenfeld, London, Humphrey Milford, 1928 (DA452 .E8), on pp. 217-20, 321,330-32, 333-34, and 339.

Extractions: Adapted from an article by E. G. Ruestow, J. History of Biology Leeuwenhoek may have been the model for his friend, Vermeer, in Vermeer's picture, The Geographer. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, no scientific question was more laden with religious and philosophical overtones than the problem of generation. This was the question that asked if and how a mechanistic nature, devoid of spirit, could engender the purposeful complexity of living organisms, including man. It is not surprising, then, that the learned (and probably the unlearned) public expected much from the new microscopistsmen such as Marcello Malpighi, Jan Swammerdam, and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. Leeuwenhoek's conclusions, made from observations with microscopes whose resolution was not bettered until the nineteenth century, unsettled a recently recast consensus. Moreover, it suggested that the microscope may not be the tool that would solve these longstanding problems. Leeuwenhoek's knowledge of the religious and philosophical debates among the learned communities was scanty at first, but expanded dramatically during the half-century of his microscopic research. A tradesman in Delft, he lacked any university education and knew no language other than Dutch. In 1673, however, Leeuwenhoek's fellow townsman, the prominent young anatomist Regnier de Graaf, brought him to the attention of the Royal Society in London as a maker of exceptional microscopes (1).
Jan Heweliusz And Royal Society Of London the Society. The secretary of the Royal Society was then Henry Oldenburgand william brouncker was its president. Since then Heweliusz http://liber.150m.com/
Extractions: POLISH Jan Heweliusz was the first Pole included among the members of the Royal Society in London. This important event took place on 19 th March 1664. The Portrait of Jan Heweliusz from the Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Gdansk During his journey round Europe in years 1630-1634 Heweliusz became acquinted with many English scientists and later he sent them many copies of his first work "Selenographia" (Gedani 1647). The Royal Society of London was founded in 1660 and placed in Gresham College. Charter members of the Royal Society were: Christopher Wren, Robert Boyle, John Wilkins, Sir Robert Moray, William Viscount Brouncker. A candidature of Heweliusz for a member of the Royal Society was proposed by Robert Moray during a society meeting on 9th March 1664 and on 30 th March Gdañsk astronomer was elected a member of the Society. The secretary of the Royal Society was then Henry Oldenburg and William Brouncker was its president. Since then Heweliusz exchanged letters with Henry Oldenburg. In September 1664 he sent him a letter thanking for including him among the member of the Society. Nearly all letters written by Heweliusz were read loudly during the meetings and results of his astronomical observations were discussed. Many of his letters were published in a periodical "Philosophical Transactions". Heweliusz regularly sent his works to the Society striving for help and for opinions about them.
