Extractions: The Victorian era The trend during this period will be rediscovery of liturgy and church history ( "high church" ) and spreading Christianity ( "low church" emphasis). Serious problems dealing with industrial poverty and with new scientific understandings. The Oxford Movement John Keble 's sermon "National Apostasy" is against a common-sense plan to reduce the number of Irish bishops. It begins the Oxford Movement. (Keble is already known for his book of poems, "The Christian Year", 1827). Edward Bouviere Pusey and John Henry Newman begin publishing "Tracts of the Times". (Hence the movements' other name, Tractarianism .) The Oxford Movement emphasizes the historic continuity of the church without opposing evangelicism and is regarded as strongly anti-liberal. James Lloyd Breck , priest, founds Nashotah House , with Anglo-Catholic emphasis. J. M. Neale founds the Ecclesiological Society, a club for college students interested in restoring and redesigning parish churches.

Extractions: University College London Michael Mason is most certainly not one of these, as his own work in this difficult terrain, The Making of Victorian Sexuality and the The Making of Victorian Sexual Attitudes , clearly shows. He has refounded the historiography of the social history of Victorian sexualities on a far more extensive and systematic reading of the available plebeian source materials for the period 1815-1870 than any previous scholar attempted. To Mason's credit, his aim was the reconstruction of a fully social history of the emergence of 'Victorian' sexual codes. This was an exacting and ambitious intellectual goal, which required him to examine and sift a variety of categories of evidence, relating to behaviour as well as ideas; institutions as well as discourses. In his review Mason has summarised with lucidity many of the central arguments and themes I have worked to convey. In particular he has spent a lot of time carefully explaining some of the important nuances concerning the notion of 'perceived relative costs of childrearing' and the thesis of a 'culture of abstinence'. He has also offered an obvious departure point for a reply, by placing an interesting question-mark towards the end of the review. He focuses upon my attempt to adjudicate between the relative importance of cultural influences, as against the personal and immediate 'costs' faced by couples in accounting for reduced marital fertility. As Mason points out this interpretative issue arises from my attempt to consider explicitly the relationship between cultural precepts and agents' intentions, rather than simply assuming the priority of one or the other. Mason wonders, however, whether I am not fudging here. I hope not, so let me explain.

The UnMuseum: Dinosaurs Of The Victorian Era People marveled at the drawings made from their early study of dinosaur fossils . One early fan of dinosaurs was Queen Victoria s husband, Prince Albert. http://www.unmuseum.org/vdinos.htm
Extractions: A early drawing of a Megalosaurus Science and dinosaurs became acquainted around 1815 through a gentleman named William Buckland . Buckland had acquired some large fossil bones from Stonefield quarries near Oxford, England. Buckland recognized these bones as belonging to what appeared to be a lizard of enormous size. He named his find Megalosaurus which means "Great Lizard." According to his calculations, the animal must have exceeded forty feet in length and weighed as much as a large elephant. Though Buckland was not the first person to find a Megalosaurus bone (Robert Plot described one as far back as 1676) he was the first to realize that these fossils belonged to an unknown class of huge reptiles. In 1842 Richard Owen , of England, wrote an article reviewing the fossil evidence of these large reptiles. By then three species were well known: Megaloasurus, Iguanodon , and Hylaeosaurus . Owen noted that all three animals had similar structures in their vertebrae and decided that they should all belong to a new sub-order of the Saurian order. He coined the term of this sub-order Dinosauria , or "terrible lizards" and the name stuck.

Victorian Era Mind Control - Zuerrnnovahh-Starr Livingstone The victorian era was the time when the British Empire was at its largest. Relativity dismissed such approaches and has betrayed the study of science http://educate-yourself.org/zsl/victoriaeramindcontrol08jan04.shtml
Extractions: Jan. 8, 2004 The Victorian Era was the time when the British Empire was at its largest. The centuries old secret rule of the Sceptred Isles by the seven of the oldest shape shifters through royal bloodlines had brought the worldwide empire to its greatest extent. The first level of mind control was the British Class System. It was a rigid caste structure which prevented most from rising above the station of their birth families. Indoctrination started at an early age and was reinforced by the educational system, church, industry, government, justice system, military and by those who "Knew their place." The various castes kept one another in step with each other. Such was the ingraining of caste and identity that one's accent or inflection could peg where one was in the hierarchical system. The British caste system protected royalty and the monsters hidden in their ranks. The Indian caste system likewise protected the Brahmans and their alien bloodlines. Wherever caste systems appeared in the world there were criminals in the top ranks enforcing unjust rules. Rituals performed in the open regarding the pomp and pageantry of royalty and dark rites practised in private created a patriotic glamour around the royals inspite of all their wayward behaviour. The king's or queen's popularity has always been tightly controlled through black magic as well as stage managed events. Such is the dark grid of England that most people stay close to home or their zone of least discomfort. The British magnetic leylines have been abused to such an extent that it is physical work for psychically gifted people to cross them. It requires more conscious effort to travel twenty miles in England and other European countries than it does in the Americas or the Third World.
Dinosaur-Era Bird Could Fly, Brain Study Says Dinosaurera Bird Could Fly, Brain Study Says. John Pickrell in England Since victorian times, it has been taken as one of the icons of evolution in http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/08/0804_040804_archaeopteryx.html
Extractions: August 4, 2004 The earliest known bird was discovered in a Bavarian quarry in 1861. Ever since, scientists have disagreed as to whether Archaeopteryx was fully capable of flight. Exquisitely preserved fossils reveal that the winged, feathered animal had numerous modern birdlike features, but much of its primitive reptilian skeleton betrays a close kinship to meat-eating dinosaurs. Now a study into the shape of Archaeopteryx' The analysis, which will be detailed tomorrow in the science journal Nature, provides some of the best evidence yet that Archaeopteryx spent much of its time on the wing. "If you fly, you need a very sophisticated coordination-and-control command center," said study co-author Angela Milner of London's Natural History Museum. "We can now show that the brain and sensory systems of Archaeopteryx were fully equipped for flight."
The Victorian Era The victorian era is generally agreed to stretch through the reign of Queen Victoria culture, science, and ideas, it is imperative to study this era. http://www.victoriaspast.com/FrontPorch/victorianera.htm
Extractions: The Victorian Era by Ilana Miller The Victorian era is generally agreed to stretch through the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). It was a tremendously exciting period when many artistic styles, literary schools, as well as, social, political and religious movements flourished. It was a time of prosperity, broad imperial expansion, and great political reform. It was also a time, which today we associate with "prudishness" and "repression". Without a doubt, it was an extraordinarily complex age, that has sometimes been called the Second English Renaissance. It is, however, also the beginning of Modern Times. The social classes of England were newly reforming, and fomenting. There was a churning upheaval of the old hierarchical order, and the middle classes were steadily growing. Added to that, the upper classes' composition was changing from simply hereditary aristocracy to a combination of nobility and an emerging wealthy commercial class. The definition of what made someone a gentleman or a lady was, therefore, changing at what some thought was an alarming rate. By the end of the century, it was silently agreed that a gentleman was someone who had a liberal public (private) school education (preferably at Eton, Rugby, or Harrow), no matter what his antecedents might be. There continued to be a large and generally disgruntled working class, wanting and slowly getting reform and change. Conditions of the working class were still bad, though, through the century, three reform bills gradually gave the vote to most males over the age of twenty-one. Contrasting to that was the horrible reality of child labor which persisted throughout the period. When a bill was passed stipulating that children under nine could not work in the textile industry, this in no way applied to other industries, nor did it in any way curb rampant teenaged prostitution.
Lady Geraldine's Courtship : Women In The Victorian Age The degradation of the married woman in the victorian era existed not only in While most of the women studied were born before 1890, Berments study, http://caxton.stockton.edu/browning/stories/storyReader$3
Extractions: The degradation of the married woman in the Victorian era existed not only in that she was stripped of all her legal rights but also that no obligations were placed in her realm. Upon marriage, Victorian brides relinquished all rights to property and personal wealth to their husbands. Women were, under the law, legally incompetent and irresponsible. A married woman was entitled to no legal recourse in any matter, unless it was sponsored and endorsed by her husband. Helpless in the eyes of civil authority, the married woman was in the same category with criminals, lunatics, and minors (Vicinus 7). Eighteenth-century, English jurist, William Blackstone curtly described her legal status, in law a husband and wife are one person, and the husband is that person (Jones 402).
Extractions: Brookline, MA 02446-5605 ~ A Victorian Evening With Spirit and Friends ~ In 1885, during the Victorian period, you could walk down Newbury Street, in the Back Bay section of Boston, gently lit by the moon and the gas lights which adorned the street. Once you arrived at Exeter Street, you found yourself at the First Spiritual Temple. Upon entering the building, you were greeted by a brightly lit sanctuary, whose gas lit chandeliers shown brightly overhead. On the upper floor were classrooms, similarly lit, and, on the lower floor, were the Library and Study, where so many people came to experience the wonder and marvels of Spirit! Did you ever wonder what it might have felt like to spend an evening with friends and Spirit during that period of time? Well, we cant go back 120 years and find ourselves in the old Temple building, nor can we bring back the old gas lights. But, we can recreate, today, the amazing wonder, mystery, and feeling of that Victorian era in the Library of the First Spiritual Temple, here, at 16 Monmouth Street, in Brookline! The Victorian era has not died; it is fully alive in that eras last remaining bastion of Christian Spiritualism, the First Spiritual Temple, founded in 1883 by Marcellus Seth Ayer.

The Land Down Under evokes enchanting images of kangaroos, koalas and boomerangs. Even though the physical environment is very different, Australia has many similarities with the United States. Both countries were established as British colonies; both were initially populated by convicts and indentured servants; and both countries share a common language, legal and educational systems.
