Abstract:

Joseph Banks (1743–1820) was President of the Royal Society from 1778 to 1820, the longest anyone has served in that capacity, and during his prolonged tenure Banks was elected to numerous other societies at home and abroad. In the present paper Banks's membership of the Society of Arts and Manufactures is discussed, this being the first society to which he was ever elected in 1761. Of particular interest are the previously unexplained reasons for his withdrawal from the society in 1764, and his eventual re-election in 1791, this being the only example of Banks leaving and then rejoining a soc

A recent interview with Vicki Heywood, Chair of the Royal Society of the Arts (RSA), highlights the role that arts can play in dealing with complex problems in society today and particularly from an international perspective. The message from this interview resonates with recent literature on leadership that also recognizes the importance of the arts in leading successfully through wicked problems. The importance of linking arts interpretations of leadership with culture and place is also taken into consideration within the analysis of the interview. The article concludes by suggesting that le

Abstract:

Higher-level music education was in a poor state in mid-nineteenth-century Britain. In particular, the country’s most significant conservatoire, the Royal Academy of Music in London, suffered from a lack of financial support, poor management, and a reputation for mediocre teaching and amateurish standards. Responding to the need for an overhaul, the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce launched an investigation into the management of the Royal Academy of Music in 1865. The Society’s Committee interviewed a range of high-profile figures from Britain and abroad. The r

This short paper examines the presidency of Martin Folkes (1690–1754) and the events surrounding the incorporation of the Society by a Royal Charter from George II in 1751. Folkes was also president of the Royal Society of London, and a small number of Antiquaries feared that incorporation was a plot hatched by ‘a few designing members’ either to line their own pockets or to subsume their society into its older, wealthier rival. Folkes in turn was a controversial figure, renowned f or his irreligious beliefs and satirized for his poor government of the Royal Society.

Abstract:

Seventeenth-century English virtuoso attitudes to the visual arts have often been contrasted with a putative eighteenth-century culture of connoisseurship, most notably in a still influential 1942 article by Walter Houghton. This essay revisits Houghton's thesis and argues that English virtuoso culture did indeed allow for an incipient notion of artistic connoisseurship but that it did so in a manner different from the French model. The first section details a virtuoso aesthetic in which a modern approach to the cultural heritage of antiquity was central. The instructive ethical and historical

The career of the English dancer, choreographer, teacher and dance writer, Penelope Spencer (1901–93), primarily spanned the twenty-year period between the First and Second World Wars (1919–39). Spencer's versatile dance training and career encompassed diverse British theatre genres of the period, including ballet, drama, mime, modern dance, musical comedy, opera, pantomime and revue. It was common practice during the inter-war period for English dancers to disguise their British origins by ‘Russianising’ their names.

Summary This article examines the legacy of Charles Montagu, Lord Halifax, within the history of science. Although he was President of The Royal Society from 1695 to 1698, Montagu is best known for his political career and as a patron of the arts. As this article shows, Montagu's own scientific interests were limited and his chief significance to the history of science lies in his friendship with a later President, Isaac Newton. It is argued, firstly, that their relationship had important, though indirect, consequences for The Royal Society and, secondly, that its treatment by historians of sc

Abstract:

Carriage journeys in England during the eighteenth century were notoriously dangerous. Rutted and pot–holed roads exacerbated the deficiencies in steering, springing and stability. In 1758 the young Dr Erasmus Darwin (1731–1802; F.R.S. 1761) was travelling about 10,000 miles a year in visits to patients from his house at Lichfield. To alleviate the danger and discomfort of his journey, he developed a design for improved carriage steering and stability, which he road-tested over 20,000 miles on two carriages. In 1765 Richard Lovell Edgeworth (1744–1817; F.R.S. 1781) heard about Darwin's design,

Regional royal capitals became nodes in a new colonial geography, and the earlier regimes that had built them were recast as decadent and corrupt societies.

Abstract:

Like a number of other learned societies founded in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the Royal Asiatic Society was established to support research and to disseminate knowledge to the public. It depends for its charitable status and the privileges attached to its Royal Charter on upholding these objectives. The Society has a good record in this respect, extending now over 186 years. To some degree, the work of the learned societies was first intruded on, and then taken over by, the universities as they grew in number, expanded their curricula, and went in for research as well

Abstract:

In 1750 our President, the Duke of Somerset, who had been elected in 1724 when the Marquis of Hertford died. We elected in his place the Duke of Richmond whose portrait, given by our Fellow Richard Hatchwell in 1995, hangs on our stairs: Richmond attended the St George's Day dinner in 1750 but did little more for the Society until his death in November of the same year. Our Vice-President Martin Folkes, who had been President of the Royal Society since 1741 in succession to Sir Hans Sloane, was elected in Richmond's place. Folkes successfully steered the Society towards the Royal Charter grant

AbstractI should like to start by thanking the Honorary Treasurer for presenting his report for 2002. This time last year he likened 2001 to an annus horribilis and this year has been no better for the financial markets. Notwithstanding world crisis and depression, however, the Society's performance, as the Honorary Treasurer has pointed out, has borne comparison with appropriate benchmarks. I congratulate the Honorary Treasurer on his judicious management of the Society's finances. We have also benefited immensely from the wisdom and experience of the other members of the Finance Committee an

Abstract:

I should like to begin by thanking the Honorary Treasurer for his admirably succinct report for 2003. I would like to assure you that Council takes his main points very seriously, that is the need to eliminate the current deficit of around £35k, and the connected imperative to move to a more suitable building in a more suitable location. Over the past seven years the Honorary Treasurer has been a great servant of the Society. On behalf of Council, and the fellowship, I thank him for his skills and for keeping us focussed on the need to act.

AbstractI begin by thanking the Honorary Treasurer for his report for 2004. You will note that, sadly, this will be his last report to the Society's anniversary general meeting. During the coming year Kit Naylor will step down as Honorary Treasurer. He would like to do so now, but has very kindly agreed to see the Society through its move. This has the added benefit of permitting his intended successor, Brampton Mundy, to shadow him. Kit, the Society is hugely in your debt for the time, the judgement and the goodwill you have, over the past eight years, brought to its affairs. This meeting sho
