An unusual and engaging foreign commentary on domestic British politics during the War of Austrian Succession, at a time when Great Britain was rapidly transforming itself into the world's greatest economic and military power. "To speak freely, I should have a very mean opinion of any man, who would value his penetration highly on finding out, that the love of liberty is predominant among Britons. It shows itself in their language, in their behaviour, on trivial as well as important occasions: it appears in the actions of their childhood, and if I might be allowed the expression, I should say this passion even out lives them, at least I am very sure that it frequently dictates their last wills. It has been too, their lasting passion, and in this they, with great justice, pride themselves." RARE.

The Johnson Society (Lichfield) Sir John Floyer, Dr Samuel Johnson and the Stanhope family: some personal and professional links. Denis Gibbs A paper written by Dr. Denis Gibbs a member of the Society. This paper follows on from a previous paper on Sir John Floyer published in the Transactions in 1968. Introduction Sir John Floyer died in 1734 at the age of 85 when Samuel Johnson was a young man of 25. Johnson had a lifelong interest in Sir John Floyer and thought that his contributions and achievements deserved wider recognition. When Johnson wrote to Edward Cave on 25 November 1734, he urged him to widen the subject matter of The Gentleman's Magazine to include "short dissertations in Latin and English, critical remarks on authors ancient and modern, forgotten poems that deserve reviving, or loose pieces like Floyer's, worth preserving." Many years later, in a footnote, John Nichols, the editor of Literary anecdotes of the eighteenth century recorded that Johnson, "a very short time before his death, strongly pressed" him "to give some account of the life and works of Sir John Floyer, whose learning and piety", the Doctor said, "deserve recording." Johnson considered Floyer to be "in general a man of civility and elegance."

Chesterfield was born on September 22, 1694, in London, and educated at the University of Cambridge. He was elected to the House of Commons in 1715. In 1726, after succeeding to the earldom of Chesterfield, he entered the House of Lords. A supporter of Sir Robert Walpole, Chesterfield served as ambassador to the Dutch Republic (1728-32) and also as lord high steward (1730-33) but was dismissed because he opposed the passage of an excise tax. Chesterfield then joined the opposition. As lord lieutenant of Ireland (1745-64) Chesterfield sought to effect peace among the opposing factions. He later served as secretary of state to George II. Chesterfield died on March 24, 1773, in London. Chesterfield's fame as a man of letters rests upon a series of letters, published after his death, that give a faithful account of the manners and customs of aristocratic society in 18th-century England, written in a graceful and witty style.

It's free! Save it. Abstract Many scholars have claimed that proverbs largely dropped from polite speech during the eighteenth century in England. Often quoted in this context is Lord Chesterfield's advice to his son that proverbs are merely the "rhetoric of the vulgar man" and "a man of fashion never has recourse to proverbs and vulgar aphorisms." This article challenges the former assumption and shows that Chesterfield himself regularly used proverbs in his letters, and used them to great effect. Unfounded generalisations and unproven claims are common in intellectual pursuits. The field of folklore in general, and that of paremiology in particular, are no exceptions. Even Archer Taylor, the grand master of proverb studies, fell into this trap in a chapter on "Proverbs in Literature" in his celebrated classic, The Proverb (1931). Commenting on the fact that "different attitudes [exist] toward proverbs in different ages," he observed correctly that the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries exhibited a widespread interest in folk wisdom, but "during the eighteenth century a reaction set in: the rationalistic temper found little to admire in proverbs" (Taylor 1985, 173). Morris Palmer Tilley, the compiler of the acclaimed Dictionary of the Proverbs in England in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, similarly concluded that:

Caesar to Czolgosz Caesar, Julius Gaius (100-44 B.C.) "You too, Brutus?" Most people know that the Latin translation of "You too, Brutus?" is " Et tu, Brute? " and many will recall that in Shakespeare's play, the bard adds a final English sentence to these Latin words, "Then fall, Caesar!" However, some have suggested that the famous phrase was probably spokenif it was spoken at allin the Greek that was commonly used by Roman officials. The Greek version of Caesar's last words is " Kai su, teknon? " or "You too, my son?"

The poor South! God knows what will become of her." John C. Calhoun, an American politician, was the strongest proponent of Southern rights during the first half of the 19th Century. Calhoun secretly authored the South Carolina Exposition and Protest, a document that asserted that any state had the power to nullify any federal law that it deemed unconstitutional. While serving as Andrew Jackson's Vice-President, Calhoun became extremely frustrated after the President refused to endorse an extreme state rights position. Calhoun eventually resigned when Jackson discovered that he had attempted to undermine several policy initiatives and played a major role in ostracizing the Secretary of War's wife from Washington society. Calhoun returned to South Carolina and was elected to the Senate where he served as the most powerful spokesman for slavery until his death in 1850.

Article History Create an account or log in Ireland Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773) was a British statesman and man of letters. A Whig, Lord Stanhope , as he was known until his father's death in 1726 was educated at Cambridge and then went on the Grand Tour of the continent. The death of Anne and the accession of George I opened up a career for him and brought him back to England, His relative James Stanhope, the king's favorite minister, procured for him the place of gentleman of the bedchamber to the Prince of Wales . In 1715 he entered the House of Commons as Lord Stanhope of Shelford and member for St Germans, and when the impeachment of the Duke of Ormonde , came before the House, he used the occasion (5 August 1715) to put to proof his old rhetorical studies. His maiden speech was youthfully fluent and dogmatic; but on its conclusion the orator was reminded with many compliments, by an honorable member, that he wanted six weeks of his majority, and consequently that he was amenable to a fine of 500 for speaking in the House. Lord Stanhope quitted the Commons with a low bow and started for the continent. From Paris he rendered the government important service by gathering and transmitting information respecting the Jacobite plot; and in 1716 he returned to England, resumed his seat, and took frequent part in the debates. In that year came the quarrel between the king and the heir apparent. Stanhope, whose politic instinct obliged him to worship the rising rather than the setting sun, remained faithful to the prince, though he was too cautious to break entirely with the king's party. He was on friendly terms with the prince's mistress, Henrietta Howard, afterwards Countess of Suffolk. He maintained a correspondence with this lady which won for him the hatred of the Princess of Wales. In 1723 a vote for the government got him the place of captain of the Gentlemen Pensioners. In January 1725, on the revival of the

About Us Family tradition It was in 1934 that Albert Marks, himself the son of a successful dealer in antiques, set up in business. He moved to 49 Curzon Street, corner of Half Moon Street, nearly fifty years ago where he was steadily able to consolidate his growing reputation. Ownership eventually passed to his son Anthony Marks who carries on the firm's traditions, convinced that there is no substitute for excellent service, knowledgeable employees and a world-class stock. No mean expert himself, having grown up in the business and with a profound interest in the best goldsmiths' work, he has gathered around him a group of excellent advisers. In fact, Marks's collective knowledge in terms of years amounts to nearly two centuries! Besides Anthony Marks, the Mount Street showroom boasts a fund of expertise in Clive Toberman, well known in the trade even before he joined Marks more than a decade ago, as well as two more recent recruits in Stephen Dale and John Culme. The former is a respected authority on Fabergé and other Russian works of art and enamel; while the latter, whose interest in silver and its history began in his teens, is a familiar researcher and writer on the subject. An International Presence In addition to our Mount Street presence, and the original shop in Curzon Street, Marks is a frequent exhibitor at several international antiques fairs of standing. Anthony Marks and his colleagues may be found from time to time in New York, Hong Kong, Palm Beach, Sydney and Moscow. Our presence at London fairs is an important part of our business, too, with a good show of our stock at Grosvenor House and Olympia.
