paragraph: Robert Filmer

paragraph: Sir Robert Filmer (c. 1588 – 26 May 1653) was an English political theorist who defended the divine right of kings. His best known work, "Patriarcha", published posthumously in 1680, was the target of numerous Whig attempts at rebuttal, including Algernon Sidney's "Discourses Concerning Government", James Tyrrell's "Patriarcha Non Monarcha" and John Locke's "Two Treatises of Government". Filmer also wrote critiques of Thomas Hobbes, John Milton, Hugo Grotius and Aristotle.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: The eldest child of Sir Edward Filmer and Elizabeth Filmer (née Argall) of East Sutton in Kent, he studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he matriculated in 1604. He did not take a degree and was admitted to Lincoln's Inn on 24 January 1605. He was called to the bar in 1613 but there is no evidence he practised law. He bought the porter's lodge at Westminster Abbey for use as his town house. On 8 August 1618 he married Anne Heton in St Leonard's Church in London, with their first child baptised in February 1620. On 24 January 1619, King James I knighted Filmer at Newmarket.

paragraph: Filmer's father died in November 1629 and Filmer, as the oldest child, took over his father's manor house and estate. He became a Justice of the Peace and an officer of the county militia in the 1630s. Filmer's eldest son Sir Edward was active in opposing the Long Parliament and Filmer stood surety for £5000 to ensure the release of his friend Sir Roger Twysden, who had been imprisoned for his part in the Kentish petition. The Parliamentary army looted his manor house in September 1642 and by the next year his properties in Westminster and Kent were being heavily taxed to fund the Parliamentary cause. Filmer was investigated by the county committee on suspicion of supporting the King, though no firm evidence was uncovered. Filmer asked the investigators to note "how far he hath binn from medling on either side in deeds or so much as words." However one of his tenants claimed that Filmer had hidden arms for the Royalists, although this was apparently a false charge. Perhaps for that reason, Filmer was imprisoned for some years in Leeds Castle and his estates were sequestered.

paragraph: Filmer died on or about 23 May 1653. His funeral took place in East Sutton on 30 May, where he was buried in the church, surrounded by descendants of his to the tenth generation. He was survived by his wife, three sons and one daughter, one son and one daughter having predeceased him.

paragraph: His son, also Robert, was created the first of the Filmer baronets in 1674. His other son, Beversham Filmer, became the owner of Luddenham Court, near Faversham, who then passed it on through his family.

paragraph: Section::::"Patriarcha" and other works.

paragraph: Filmer was already middle-aged when the controversy between the King and the House of Commons roused him to literary activity. His writings provide examples of the doctrines held by the extreme section of the Divine Right party.

paragraph: The fullest expression of Filmer's thoughts is found in "Patriarcha, or the Natural Power of Kings", published posthumously in 1680, but probably begun in the 1620s and almost certainly completed before the Civil War began in 1642. According to Christopher Hill, "The whole argument of... "Patriarcha", and of his works published earlier in the 1640s and 1650s, is based on Old Testament history from "Genesis" onwards". Filmer's modern proponents counter this by noting that the focus on Filmer's biblical arguments neglects his stronger arguments from history and logic.

paragraph: His position was enunciated by the works which he published in his lifetime. "Of the Blasphemie against the Holy Ghost", from 1646 or 1647, argued against Calvinists, starting from John Calvin's doctrine on blasphemy. "The Freeholders Grand Inquest" (1648) concerned English constitutional history. Filmer's early published works did not receive much attention, while "Patriarcha" circulated only in manuscript. "Anarchy of a Limited and Mixed Monarchy" (1648) was an attack on a treatise about monarchy by Philip Hunton, who had maintained that the king's prerogative was not superior to the authority of the Houses of Parliament.

paragraph: Filmer's "Observations concerning the Original of Government upon Mr Hobbes's Leviathan, Mr Milton against Salmasius, and H. Grotius' De jure belli ac pacis" appeared in 1652. In line with its title, it attacks several political classics, the "De jure belli ac pacis" of Grotius, the "Defensio pro Populo Anglicano" of John Milton, and the "Leviathan" of Thomas Hobbes. It is the source for the famous quotation from Hobbes, asserting that people "as mushrooms... sprung out of the earth without any obligation one to another." The pamphlet entitled "The Power of Kings, and in particular, of the King of England" (written 1648) was first published in 1680.

paragraph: Section::::Views.

paragraph: Filmer's theory is founded upon the statement that the government of a family by the father is the true origin and model of all government. In the beginning God gave authority to Adam, who had complete control over his descendants, even over life and death itself. From Adam this authority was inherited by Noah. Here Filmer is most likely to be quoting the legend of Noah sailing up the Mediterranean and allocating the three continents of the Old World to the rule of his three sons. This assumes that from Shem, Ham and Japheth the patriarchs inherited the absolute power which they exercised over their families and servants, and that it is from these patriarchs that all kings and governors (whether a single monarch or a governing assembly) derive their authority, which is therefore absolute, and founded on divine right.

paragraph: The difficulty inherent in judging the validity of claims to power by men who claim to be acting upon the "secret" will of God was disregarded by Filmer, who held that it altered in no way the nature of such power, based on the natural right of a supreme father to hold sway. The king is perfectly free from all human control. He cannot be bound by the acts of his predecessors, for which he is not responsible; nor by his own, for it is impossible that a man should give a law to himself – a law must be imposed by another upon the person bound by it.

paragraph: With regard to the English constitution, he asserted, in his "Freeholders Grand Inquest touching our Sovereign Lord the King and his Parliament" (1648), that the Lords give counsel only to the king, that the Commons are to perform and consent only to the ordinances of parliament, and that the king alone is the maker of laws, which derive their power purely from his will. Filmer considered it monstrous that the people should judge or depose their king, for they would then become judges in their own cause.

paragraph: Filmer was a severe critic of democracy. In his opinion, democracy of ancient Athens was in fact a "justice-trading system". Athenians, he claimed, never knew real justice, only the will of the mob. Ancient Rome was, according to Filmer, ruled fairly only after the Empire was established.

paragraph: Section::::Reception.

paragraph: Filmer's theory obtained wide recognition owing to a timely posthumous publication. Nine years after the publication of "Patriarcha", at the time of the Revolution which banished the Stuarts from the throne, John Locke singled out Filmer among the advocates of Divine Right and attacked him expressly in the first part of the "Two Treatises of Government". The first "Treatise" goes into all his arguments seriatim, and especially points out that even if the first principles of his argument are to be taken for granted, the rights of the eldest born have been so often cast aside that modern kings can claim no such inheritance of authority, as Filmer asserts.

paragraph: Filmer's patriarchal monarchism was also the target of Algernon Sidney in his "Discourses Concerning Government" and of James Tyrrell in his "Patriarcha non-monarcha".

paragraph: John Kenyon, in his study of British political debate from 1689 to 1720, claimed that "any unbiased study of the position shows in fact that it was Filmer, not Hobbes, Locke or Sidney, who was the most influential thinker of the age... Filmer's influence can be measured by the fact that both Locke... and Sidney... were not so much [making] independent and positive contributions to political thought as elaborate refutations of his "Patriarcha", written soon after its first publication. Indeed, but for him it is doubtful whether either book would have been written."

paragraph: During the reign of Queen Anne Filmer's works enjoyed a revival. In 1705 the non-juror Charles Leslie devoted twelve successive issues of the weekly "Rehearsal" to explaining Filmer's doctrines and published them in a volume.

paragraph: In an unpublished manuscript, Jeremy Bentham wrote:

paragraph: Filmer's origin of government is exemplified everywhere: Locke's scheme of government has not ever, to the knowledge of any body, been exemplified any where. In every family there is government, in every family there is subjection, and subjection of the most absolute kind: the father, sovereign, the mother and the young, subjects. According to Locke's scheme, men knew nothing at all of governments till they met together to make one. Locke has speculated so deeply, and reasoned so ingeniously, as to have forgot that he was not of age when he came into the world... Under the authority of the father, and his assistant and prime-minister the mother, every human creature is enured to subjection, is trained up into a habit of subjection. But, the habit once formed, nothing is easier than to transfer it from one object to another. Without the previous establishment of domestic government, blood only, and probably a long course of it, could have formed political government.

paragraph: Bentham went on to claim that Filmer had failed to prove divine right theory but he had proved "the physical impossibility of the system of absolute equality and independence, by showing that subjection and not independence is the natural state of man".

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: His first son Sir Edward was Gentleman of the Privy Chamber. He died in 1668 and the East Sutton estate passed to his brother Robert who was created a baronet in 1674 in honour of their father's loyalty to the Crown. See Filmer baronets. Filmer's third son, Samuel, married Maria Horsmanden and lived in Virginia Colony before dying childless soon after.

paragraph: Robert Dahlqvist

paragraph: Robert Dahlqvist (16 April 1976 – 1 February 2017) was a Swedish guitarist and vocalist best known for his nine-year tenure with the rock band The Hellacopters. He was also the lead singer and guitarist for Thunder Express, a band originally started as a side project to his work with The Hellacopters. At the time of his death at age 40, Dahlqvist had nearly completed his second solo album, under the name Strängen.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Early life and career.

paragraph: Dahlqvist was born in Uddevalla, Sweden, and got his first guitar at the age of ten and attended music school but quit after a month frustrated over not being allowed to play Kiss songs. At age fifteen, his mother got him an electric guitar and he started to focus more seriously on his playing. Dahlqvist soon started playing in bands and worked at a bar where he got to know members of the Swedish rock band the Hellacopters.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:The Hellacopters.

paragraph: After losing original guitarist Dregen and utilizing temporary guitarists Chuck Pounder and Mattias Hellberg, the Hellacopters sought a new permanent guitarist to join the tour for their 1999 album "Grande Rock". Hearing about this, Dahlqvist contacted the band and requested an audition, after which he joined the band full-time. His first full album with the Hellacopters was "High Visibility" in 2000, and by that time they had given him the nickname "Strings."

paragraph: During his time in The Hellacopters, Dahlqvist was also a member of Stefan Sundström's backing band, and appeared on albums by The Solution and Diamond Dogs, both of which featured his Hellacopters bandmates. With the Hellacopters, Dahlqvist recorded four studio albums, four EPs, two split albums and many other releases. In October 2007, the Hellacopters announced they would be breaking up after releasing their last full-length album "Head Off" and completing their "The Tour Before the Fall" farewell tour. The band reconvened in 2016 but without Dahlqvist.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Later activities.

paragraph: Dahlqvist first formed the band Thunder Express in 2004 as a side project in conjunction with his work with the Hellacopters. They released the albums "We Play for Pleasure" in 2004 and "Republic Disgrace" in 2007. That band then switched to Swedish lyrics and renamed themselves Dundertåget (the Swedish translation of "Thunder Express"). They released the albums "Skaffa ny Frisyr" in 2008 and "Dom Feta Åren är Förbi" in 2010, before disbanding in 2011.

paragraph: Dahlqvist's next project was Strängen, the Swedish translation of his nickname "Strings" from his time with the Hellacopters. He released the single "Rocken är inte död!" ("Rock Isn't Dead!") under this name, and announced a new album which would be his first full-length work in five years. According to his manager, the album was nearly finished at the time of Dahlqvist's death in February 2017, with some of the final sessions having taken place a few days earlier.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Dahlqvist died on 1 February 2017 at age 40. Sound Pollution, distributor for the Hellacopters, stated that Dahlqvist died accidentally at home, having drowned in a bathtub following an epileptic seizure. At the time of his death, he had several concerts and appearances scheduled for the coming weeks.

paragraph: Costanza Starace

paragraph: Blessed Costanza Starace (5 September 1845 – 13 September 1921) was an Italian Roman Catholic nun. She was the founder of the religious congregation known as the Compassionist Sisters Servants of Mary. Starace later assumed the new name of "Maria Maddalena of the Passion" upon the occasion of her solemn profession. She became a secular member of the Servite Order after she failed to join a religious order.

paragraph: Starace devoted her life to Jesus Christ and to the Mother of God in her mission to evangelize and provide relief to the ill - this was evident during a series of cholera outbreaks near Naples. She established her order to assist in proving relief and extending that service to the poor.

paragraph: She was beatified on 15 April 2007.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Costanza Starace was born on 5 September 1845 to Francesco Starace and Maria Rosa Cascone as the first of six children. At her baptism she was consecrated to the Mother of God for protection.

paragraph: As a child she attended a boarding school that the Daughters of Charity ran in Castellammare di Stabia. She was attracted to religious life and entered a convent at the age of twelve but was discharged and returned home at the age of fourteen due to her poor health. It was back at home that she enlisted the aid of a tutor who also helped her to start a regular life of reflection. As an adolescent she made efforts twice to enter religious life but was hampered with her health and thus she was required to return to her home; despite these attempts her parents objected. She became a Servite tertiary and made her final profession on 18 June 1867 in the name of "Maria Maddalena of the Passion". The Bishop of Casteallammare di Stabia Francesco Petagna placed her as the head of the Pious Union of the Daughters of Mary and part of her time involved teaching catechism to the youth.

paragraph: Following a series of cholera outbreaks she decided to gather a group of women to help sufferers from the spread. It was at this point that she established the Compassionist Sisters Servants of Mary; the order received initial approval on 27 May 1871.

paragraph: Starace died on 13 December 1921 of pneumonia. She was re-interred in Scanzano on 19 August 1929.

paragraph: Section::::Beatification.

paragraph: The beatification process commenced on 4 April 1939 under Pope Pius XII and this granted her the title Servant of God. The process commenced on a local level in Castellammare di Stabia and the local process closed in 1942. It saw the accumulation of both documentation and witness testimonies and was granted formal ratification in 1993 - decades later - for the cause to proceed. The Positio was submitted to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome in 1995 for further evaluation.

paragraph: Pope John Paul II proclaimed her to be Venerable on 7 July 2003 after he recognized that Starace had lived a life of heroic virtue.

paragraph: The miracle required for her beatification was subjected to a diocesan tribunal and was ratified on 13 June 2003. Pope Benedict XVI approved the healing as a miracle on 26 June 2006 and allowed for her beatification to take place on 15 April 2007. Cardinal José Saraiva Martins - on behalf of the pope - presided over the beatification.

paragraph: Florencio Parravicini

paragraph: Florencio Parravicini (1876-1941) was an Argentine actor who primarily worked during the , performing on both stage and in films. From an aristocratic family, he was a relative of the artist Benjamín Solari Parravicini (1898-1974). He began his career singing "música criolla", a Latino folk genre of music that exists in many countries throughout Latin America. He appeared in more than three hundred theatrical works and films, becoming one of the leading figures of Argentine entertainment. Facing cancer, Parravicini committed suicide in 1941.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Florencio Bartolomé Parravicini Romero Cazón was born on 24 August 1876 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His father, Col. Reinaldo Parravicini, was the director of the penitentiary and his grandfather had been an Italian marquis who owned a large landed estate. At fourteen, he was destined for the priesthood, but abandoned the vocation for a life that was branded eccentric, genius, mad, and "a most remarkable creation". For many it was difficult to tell where his acting diverged from his real life.

paragraph: In his youth, he was said to have hunted wolves in Patagonia and was known for remarkable aim and skill with firearms. At the age of 20, he inherited a fortune from his parents and squandered it in Paris on parties and in casinos, He worked in various trades, including as a tour guide, as a comic in a coffee house and in venues singing "música criolla". He returned to Argentina and for a while worked as a smuggler in Puerto Deseado, but made his way back to Buenos Aires. He was acting in low-class cafés and variety shows, when he was seen by Ulises Favaro, who introduced Parravicini to Pepe Podestá in 1906. Podestá was one of a team of brothers who performed and trained actors in theatrical comedy at the Teatro Apolo. By 1908, Parravicini had his own acting troupe and was performing throughout Argentina. He was most known for his improvisation, dropping words that were not in the script in suggestive manners to elicit laughter which the audiences loved. He helped many actresses get their start in the business including Amelia Bence, Olinda Bozán, Mecha Ortiz, Paulina Singerman and others.

paragraph: In 1910, he took up flying, earned his pilot's licence and the designation civil brevet No. 2 of Argentina. Parravicini next ventured into silent films as writer and director, working in collaboration with Enrique Ernesto Gunche and on the film "Hasta después de muerta", which he wrote and acted in. The project made him realize there was no money in silent films and he did not make another film until talkies were introduced. He opted to try his hand at politics and ran in the 1926 municipal elections on the ticket of the "Partido Gente de Teatro" (Party of Theater People) and actually won a seat. His performance, other than a tribute for the Prince of Wales when he visited Argentina, was negligible.

paragraph: When Parravicini next appeared in film, the picture, "Los muchachos de antes no usaban gomina" directed by Manuel Romero co-starring with Santiago Arrieta, Irma Córdoba and Mecha, became a classic of Argentine film.

paragraph: His move into movies came about largely because he was tired of being typecast as a comic. In 1931, when he tried to perform a serious role at the Broadway Theater, the minute he appeared on stage, the audience began laughing in anticipation of his double entendres. In addition to making films, he began traveling to perform throughout Latin America, where he was unknown. In his 35 years of theater performances, Parravicini had over 300 performances, had had numerous artists write plays specifically for him and had become a fixture of Argentine theater.

paragraph: After having been diagnosed with cancer, Parravicini committed suicide on 15 March 1941.

paragraph: Bruce Watson (guitarist)

paragraph: Bruce William Watson (born 1961) is a Canadian-born Scottish guitarist, best known for being a member of Big Country.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Watson was born in Timmins, Ontario, Canada. He moved with his family to Scotland as a toddler.

paragraph: Prior to joining Big Country, Watson had been a member of several Fife-based new wave bands including the Delinquents and Eurosect.

paragraph: Section::::Role in Big Country.

paragraph: Watson's role in the band was primarily as a supporting guitarist. He typically contributed rhythmic textures ("Wonderland," "Lost Patrol") and repetitive melodic fills ("In a Big Country," "Look Away") which underpinned verses, contrasting with Adamson's more straightforward chord work in these sections. During solos, as Adamson played the main melody, Watson often contributed a counter-melody. Watson also played slide guitar on some of the band's early material, including "Rain Dance" and "Red Fox." Later on, Adamson played much of the slide guitar work on the band's songs. Watson is also an accomplished mandolin player, and put this skill to use on several of Big Country's more country and western-influenced songs, including "Broken Heart (Thirteen Valleys)."

paragraph: During recent tours, Watson has played many of Adamson's lead guitar parts live, while his son, Jamie, fulfils his old role.

paragraph: Watson has played guitar on every Big Country album, and co-wrote many Big Country songs with Adamson. He also sang live backing vocals.

paragraph: Section::::Performances and tours.

paragraph: In the summer of 2007, Watson played in the Skids who had reformed to play two gigs in Dunfermline prior to a set on the main stage at T in the Park.

paragraph: Also in 2007, to celebrate 25 years of Big Country, he reunited with founding members Tony Butler (now lead vocalist) and Mark Brzezicki to embark on a tour of the UK with dates in Scotland and England. Fellow band co-founder Stuart Adamson died in December 2001.

paragraph: Starting in 2008, Watson began performing with his son Jamie Watson, as well as releasing an album, "The Portastudio Diaries" (2009), which chronicled a series of recordings in Bruce Watson's home recording studio.

paragraph: Ibn al-Bawwab

paragraph: Ibn al-Bawwāb was a Persian calligrapher and illuminator who lived during the time of the Buyid dynasty. He most likely died around 1022 AD in Baghdad.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Ibn al-Bawwāb was from a poor family. His name literally translates as the “son of the doorkeeper.” He was trained in law and theology, was very devout and is said to have been able to recite the Qurʾān from memory.

paragraph: He studied calligraphy with the daughter of Ibn Muqla. He was fluent in all six scripts and refined them. He achieved fame in his own lifetime and was readily recognised by his long beard. His students carried his improved style through to succeeding generations of calligraphers.

paragraph: Altogether, Ibn al-Bawwāb reputedly produced 64 copies of the Qurʾān. One of the most beautiful in the rayḥānī script is in the Laleli Mosque in Istanbul, and another is in the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin, Ireland. a gift of the Ottoman Sultan Selim I (1470–1512). Ibn al-Bawwāb was recognized as a master in his own time; his school of calligraphy lasted until Baghdad fell to the Mongols more than two centuries after his death.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: One of his greatest achievements was the perfection of the al-Khatt al-Mansub (literally, "the well-proportioned script") style of Islamic calligraphy. He also contributed to the development of many of the early cursive scripts including rayḥānī, naskh, tawqīʿ and muhaqqaq. Only one of Q'ran by al-Bawwab is known to have survived. It is the earliest extant manuscript written in cursive script on paper.

paragraph: Louis Huth

paragraph: Louis Huth (22 March 1821 – 12 February 1905), was a British company director and merchant banker. He was a partner in Frederick Huth & Co, the merchant bank established by his father. Huth and his wife, Helen Huth (1837-1924), were significant patrons of the arts, not only possessing a large number of paintings by some of the greatest British artists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but also commissioning works from contemporary artists. Their collection included paintings by artists of the Aesthetic and Symbolist movements, such as James McNeill Whistler RA (1834–1903) and G. F. Watts OM RA (1817 –1904), by both of whom Helen Huth was portrayed in important paintings. Huth, whose collecting extended to antique porcelain, was also a leading influence on the activities of one of the greatest art collectors and connoisseurs of the late Victorian era and the Edwardian years, George Salting (1835-1909), who ultimately left his outstanding collection of art to the British nation.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and business career.

paragraph: Louis Huth was born at Finsbury in London, the son of Frederick Huth (1774–1864), a merchant and merchant banker born in Germany, who 'came of very humble origins, the son of a soldier [without rank], with only his intelligence and appetite for hard work to single him out from other poor boys at the bottom of the social heap in the small village of Harsefeld in the Electorate of Hanover.' After an apprenticeship to a Spanish merchant in Hamburg, Huth eventually established a business in Corunna, Spain, where he met his wife, an orphan believed to be the daughter of a prominent member of the Spanish Royal court. In 1809, following the invasion of Spain by France, Frederick and his wife and children emigrated to England from Spain and established the family merchant house in London, Frederick Huth & Co. By 1829 Huth had become the banker and financial adviser to the Spanish Queen, Maria Christiana, later Queen Regent, and in due course became financial agent for the Spanish government, for which Huth was rewarded with a knighthood by the Spanish crown. Gradually Huth and Co expanded its business in Europe, particularly Germany, and extended its operations to the Americas, becoming a major accepting house concerned with financing international trade and marketing securities; and by the end of the 1840s the Huths ranked 'immediately below such companies as Barings and Rothschilds.' It has been stated that Frederick 'Huth's reputation was second to none. Notwithstanding his small, slight stature, he had great presence [and] had been known as 'Napoleon of the City'’. The firm, which operated from various premises, latterly 12 Tokenhouse Yard in the City of London (which in due course became the office of the famous stockbroking firm Cazenove & Co), was eventually wound up in 1936, with the partnership of Frederick Huth and Co being dissolved and the business absorbed into the British Overseas Bank Limited (which in turn was itself merged into the Royal Bank of Scotland).

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: The eldest son of Frederick Huth, his elder brother Charles Frederick Huth (1806–1895), also a collector of art, purchased Oakhurst Manor near Tunbridge Wells in Kent where he lived with his wife Frances and their large family. Another brother, Henry (1815–1878), was a noted bibliophile, building a world-renowned collection of books at his home, Wykehurst Place.

paragraph: Section::::Wealth.

paragraph: Huth was a Director of The London Assurance for Fire, Life and Marine Assurance, although that seems to have been in a non-executive capacity, and he remained a partner in the firm founded by his father, although he was hardly ever involved in it operations following the death of his father. Huth was extremely wealthy, at his death in 1905 leaving an estate then valued at £341,000.

paragraph: Section::::Homes.

paragraph: Huth and his wife, Helen Huth, lived in London at 28 Hertford Street, Mayfair. Between 1865 and 1869 Huth commissioned the architect Matthew Digby Wyatt to design Possingworth Park, Cross in Hand, Waldron, East Sussex, a red-brick neo-gothic mansion, built by the Uckfield firm of Alexander Cheadle. Possingworth served as Huth's country house. Apparently, it contained 'forty-two bedrooms with a wealth of oak panelling and huge, intricately carved stone fireplaces in lofty reception rooms with beautifully moulded and painted ceilings. Squire Huth and his wife brought to Possingworth the graciousness of the Victorian age, holding elegant dinner parties and lavish dances and balls.' Huth was very generous to the local community near Possingworth, providing a range of social benefits and paying for certain improvements to and objects for the church.

paragraph: Section::::Character and Marriage to Helen Ogilvy.

paragraph: It seems that while as a young man he worked in the firm founded by his father, at least in his early days Huth exhibited little of the work-ethic that characterised his father and which had helped created the financial success of his business; rather Huth, described as ‘frivolous and philandering’ was ‘quite the cock of the roost, a sort of Count D'Orsay; whatever he did immediately became the fashion for all the bucks in town, and when he noticed a young lady (of whom there were a number of pretty ones) her fortune was made.' It was obviously something of a relief to his parents when in 1854, at the age of 33 Huth, ‘the great bachelor’, disclosed his secret romance with Helen Ogilvy, aged 17 (daughter of Thomas Ogilvy of Corrimony, Inverness-shire), whom he then married on 11 April the following year. Mrs Huth was some sixteen and a half years younger than her husband, having been born in September 1837.

paragraph: Huth was apparently endowed with a strong sense of humour and was very particular in aspects of his appearance, so ‘that there cannot be many old men who keep a collection of wigs of different colour, that those around can be warned in time of the changing moods of the wearer!' Huth died at his London house in February 1905 aged 83 after developing pneumonia. He was buried at the Church of All Saints, Waldron, close to Possingworth.

paragraph: Section::::The Huth's patronage of artists and collecting of art.

paragraph: Helen Huth was painted by George Frederic Watts, probably shortly before her marriage, 'looking like a mere girl' in a painting (formerly in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford) which has now disappeared, and he painted her again in a full-length portrait around 1857, two years after her wedding, a portrait that 'enjoyed considerable status as part of the noted collection of modern art featuring the work of Watts and Whistler that the sitter and her husband formed after their marriage in 1855.' Both Louis and Helen Huth were depicted in recently re-discovered marble portrait busts by a leading sculptor of the Victorian age, Alexander Munro, who had close connections to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood artists, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–82). These important busts, both inscribed with Munro’s distinctive monogram, were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1860, although by 2009 they were recorded as untraced. The busts are very finely modelled and carved. The face of the young Helen is beautiful but not idealised. The sculptor has dressed her detailed hair with orange blossom, traditionally an indication by brides of their hope of fecundity, as the orange tree is prolific in its production of fruit; and the blossom, being white, is a symbol of innocence and chastity. Helen Huth was also painted by Watts in a head and shoulders portrait in the early 1860s. The importance of the Huths in Watts' oeuvre of portraits cannot be under-estimated. Apart from four other women, Watts painted more portraits of Helen than any other – four in total – which, as Bryant noted, 'sheds light on the interaction between sitter and portraitist.' Next Helen Huth was painted by Whistler, in a painting entitled "Arrangement in black, no. 2: portrait of Mrs Louis Huth", for which Huth paid 600 guineas. Painted in 1872-3, some 13 years after the bust by Munro was modelled, the portrait reflects Whistler’s admiration for Velásquez, an appreciation shared by Huth. It was first shown publicly at Mr Whistler's Exhibition, Flemish Gallery, Pall Mall, London, 1874.

paragraph: In addition to Whistler’s portrait of Mrs Huth, the Huths owned other works by Whistler, including the paintings "Symphony in White, No. 3" (Barber institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham); and "Variations in Pink and Grey: Chelsea" (Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, United States), for which latter painting Huth paid 250 guineas; and the Venice watercolours "The Bridge; flesh colour and brown" (The Burrell Collection, Glasgow Museums); "The Storm – Sunset" (Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University); and "Fishing Boat" (Cincinnati Art Museum). They also owned other paintings by Watts, including "Daphne", (untraced), "Galatea", "Sir Galahad" (sold Christie’s, London, 19 February 2003, lot 34), and "Una and the Red Cross Knight" (exhibited at the Royal Academy 1869, Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight).

paragraph: In February 1867, Whistler became a member of the Burlington Fine Arts Club, a club for artists and connoisseurs, founded circa June 1866, an institution of which Huth was also a member. Indeed, he served on the Club’s committee. Whistler was expelled at a general meeting of the club on 13 December 1867, after a fight with his brother-in-law, Francis Seymour Haden, in a Parisian café, over the latter’s shoddy treatment of one of Whistler’s friends. Haden was also a member of the Club and in the aftermath of the fight campaigned for Whistler to be excluded from the club, having brought to its attention several alleged previous incidents of assault involving Whistler. Whistler refused to resign voluntarily and insisted on having the subject considered officially. After numerous accounts and interviews with relevant parties, including Huth, Whistler was expelled at the special meeting of the Club on 13 December. Huth, a strong supporter of Whistler, was sympathetic to his position, and after the expulsion clearly went on to commission or purchase a number of important works by Whistler.

paragraph: Section::::Sales from their collections.

paragraph: On 20 May 1905, three months after Huth’s death, a significant part of his collection of eighteenth and nineteenth-century paintings was sold at Christie’s. The sale did not include any works by Whistler, although some of them had already been sold, but did include a large number by Watts, although not his portrait of Mrs Huth. Her portrait by Whistler is in the collection of the Viscount Cowdray having apparently been sold to Weetman Pearson, 1st Viscount Cowdray, in 1923 (a year before Huth's widow died) by Edward Huth, a nephew of Huth. In that regard, Huth's will is instructive. Louis and Helen Huth had no children. Huth left £100,000 to his partners in the firm of Frederick Huth and Co., which included two nephews (one of them being Edward Huth) and one great-nephew (Frederick Huth Jackson), albeit Louis' widow, Helen, took a life interest in the income from that sum; she also received £4,000 and the London house in Mayfair, as well as certain other personal effects at Possingworth and Mayfair. Huth bequeathed her a life-interest in the family portraits (those at Possingworth and at Mayfair) and in the furniture and pictures at the house in Mayfair; upon her death the family portraits were to become the property of his nephew, Edward Huth. Given her life-interest in the family portraits, Helen How must have agreed with her late husband's nephew Edward, the ultimate beneficiary of the family portraits, that he could sell her portrait by Whistler to Viscount Cowdray the year before Helen died. Edward would have been required also to agree to Helen’s private sale to Sir Hugh Lane of one of her portraits by George Watts, who gave it to the Dublin City Gallery in 1908. Helen's death resulted in the 'termination of life interest' and the artworks remaining with her were sold in April 1925.

paragraph: The items from Huth's collection sold at Christie's in London included watercolours by Gainsborough and Turner and paintings by Hogarth, Gainsborough, Reynolds, Stubbs, Constable, George Morland, John Crome, William Etty and James Ward, and numerous other artists of the English school, as well as paintings by Corot (3) and Fantin-Latour (3) of the French school, and paintings described as by Van Dyck and Titian. While a number of the attributions given in the sales catalogue have with the passage of time been re-assessed by art historians, so that some works given to the masters are now regarded as copies only, and not necessarily by the master’s studio, nevertheless significant prices were paid for many of the pictures, and the sale, comprising 145 lots in total, raised the significant sum then of over £50,000. An important portrait in the collection, whose attribution of authorship has stood the test of time, was lot 98, by Thomas Gainsborough RA, ‘Portrait of Mr Vestris, a Celebrated Dancer, in pale blue coat, with white vest and stock, powdered hair. Oval, 28½ in by 23 in. Exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery, 1885’. It was sold to Asher Wertheimer for 4,550 guineas. Wertheimer subsequently proudly announced his acquisition of the painting, having it reproduced as the frontispiece to the "Burlington Magazine" in July 1905. The portrait, which was illustrated in the Christie's sale catalogue, was Gainsborough's celebrated portrait of the Italian dancer, Gaëtan Apolline Balthazar Vestris, painted in 1781 (Private Collection), as distinguished from his son Marie Jean Augustin Vestris, also a famous dancer, whose portrait, c. 1781 (Tate Britain) was also painted by Gainsborough.

paragraph: Despite the richness of Huth's collection and that of his older brother Charles, which in terms of the pictures it contained arguably surpassed that of Huth, 'the names of Charles and Huth have recently been associated with trafficking in works of art'. It has been suggested that some of Charles's pictures by John Crome were copies by other hands and purchased as such, but that he and his brother Louis passed them off as originals. And while the painter W. P. Frith RA regarded Charles a generous and intelligent patron, Evan R. Firestone considered Huth to be a dealer. While it is true that Huth did dispose of items from his collection during his lifetime, including several works he owned by Whistler, that factor in itself does not justify his classification as a dealer rather than a collector or connoisseur. Apart from discussion of his role in the purchase and sale of a number of works, less than ten, attributed to John Crome, insufficient examination and analysis of his buying and selling of art has been done to enable firm conclusions to be reached. Nevertheless, it seems unlikely that a man born into and inheriting considerable wealth, who continued to derive significant financial returns from his share in the bank of Huth and Co in which he was a partner until his death (albeit not actively involved in its management), would have had any need to find alternative sources of remuneration. It also seems unlikely, if not impossible, that Huth, a member of a leading banking family and partnership, would knowingly engage in sharp practice of the sort alleged regarding the paintings by John Crome – a practice that, if uncovered, would destroy his reputation and seriously damage to that of his family and the bank.

paragraph: Section::::Assessment and influence.

paragraph: Barbara Bryant has recently provided a more sympathetic opinion of Huth, who 'was noted for his taste and collecting', and she continued,'Helen and Louis Huth formed an extraordinary collection of modern paintings and decorative arts. Huth's tastes turned towards the Aesthetic preoccupations of his friend [Dante Gabriel] Rossetti with whom he vied for the pick of blue-and-white porcelain in the 1860s. At about this time Watts painted Helen again in a work that betrays the increasingly Aesthetic taste of the Huths, as the figure wears pale whitish grey, verging on blue, a colour scheme equally apparent in the first painting they bought from Whistler in 1865, "The Symphony in White, No. 3."'

paragraph: As regards porcelain, 'It was Rossetti who introduced [Huth] to the beauty of the china of 'old Nankin' and Louis continued to collect it throughout his life'. Huth owned what at one time was regarded as one of the most important specimens of old Chinese Blue-and-White, the prunus-blossom vase, called a ginger-jar, which was sold at Christie's, when the Huth collection came under the hammer, for no less than £6,195, a huge sum in those days. This oviform (or egg-shaped) vase (lot 31 in the 1905 sale) measures 10¼ inches in height. It is decorated with branches of white prunus-blossom, upon a ground of blue which looks as if marbled. It is an example of the white upon blue, rather than blue upon white. On 3 August 1866, Rossetti had gone to see Huth's famous 'ginger-jar'. The vase's latest outing was also at Christie's, London, on 7 April 1997, where it was sold for £24,000 (an indication of how prices have fallen).

paragraph: It can also justifiably be claimed for Huth that he was a major influence on the activities of one of the greatest collectors and connoisseurs of the late Victorian era and the Edwardian years, George Salting (1835–1909), also a member of the Burlington Fine Arts Club, and described after his death by "The Times" as 'the greatest English art collector of his age, perhaps of any age'. Salting, who was born in Australia of Danish parents, is famous for having left to the British nation his great collection of art, much of which had already been placed on long-term loan to the South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert Museum) and the National Gallery, and which bequest ultimately meant that 'Over 2,500 objects went to the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), 153 prints and 291 drawings were selected for the British Museum, and 192 paintings [many of them by Dutch old masters and Italian Renaissance masters] were chosen for the National Gallery. The range, as well as the quantity and quality of the works, remains astonishing. They include such iconic masterpieces as Nicholas Hilliard's miniature of the "Young Man among the Roses" at the V&A, and Vermeer's "Young Woman Seated at a Virginal" in the National Gallery. They extend from Turner watercolours to Byzantine ivories, and encompass among other things, oriental porcelain, Italian Renaissance ceramics, Japanese netsuke, Limoges enamels, jewellery, ironwork, textiles, bronzes, furniture, illuminated manuscripts, etchings, engravings, drawings and paintings by old and modern masters.'

paragraph: In an article in "The Connoisseur" in 1910 the year after Salting's death, W. Roberts commented:'Mr Salting, as is well-known, was a disciple of the late Mr. Louis Huth in the matter of art collecting, and he could have had no more competent a mentor. Mr Huth had for the most part formed his splendid collection – dispersed within recent years – before the pupil had seriously entered the pursuit of objects of art.' Another commentator has noted that following his father’s death and the receipt of his inheritance, Salting embarked on his ‘career’ as an art collector ‘with single-minded determination’ and ‘encouraged in his pursuits by the advice offered by his friend Louis Huth’.

paragraph: Patricia Rubin has recorded that Salting’s ‘generous intentions were known to his friends and…influenced his collecting’, and that 'Of ‘eclectic mind and sensitive eye’, Salting was ‘cosmopolitan’ in his acquisitions from the outset. Inspired and guided by his friend Louis Huth, he was soon buying oriental ceramics of great quality and in great quantity.’ In Salting’s collecting of ceramics, the influence of Huth – by whom ‘he had been introduced to the beauty of the art form’ – was pivotal, as is recorded by several writers. By his will, dated 14 October 1889, Salting also gave various pecuniary legacies, including £2,000 to Huth ‘who’, as Rubin has stated, ‘is credited with guiding salting’s early collecting’. Huth’s death in 1905 would have caused the legacy to lapse, but Salting obviously took no steps then or in the remaining four years of his own life to re-write the will or to add a codicil to it.

paragraph: Huth’s collection of antique porcelain was first rate. By any parameters his collection of British paintings, let alone those of other schools, was of high quality, and Huth’s patronage of contemporary British or British-based artists, amongst them Watts and Whistler, was considerable. It is unclear how many of these paintings, particularly of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, had already been acquired by Huth before his marriage in 1855, but it is clear that the development of the collection from the mid-1850s extended to the commissioning also of one of the leading sculptors of the day, Alexander Munro.

His best performance came in the triple jump, where he placed fourth, while his countryman Mikio Oda won the gold. In the long jump, he finished ninth, and his 4 × 100 m relay team was eliminated in the heats.

paragraph: Nambu's real breakthrough came in 1931. After improving his Japanese record a few times, he landed a long jump just two cm short of 8 m, a new world record. Jesse Owens broke the world record less than four years later but it stood as an Asian record till beaten by Hiroomi Yamada in 1970.

paragraph: The next year, at the Los Angeles Games, he was one of the favourites for the Olympic titles in both horizontal jumps. Nambu was disappointed with his third place in the long jump, but took revenge in the triple jump final, held a few days after the long jump. His winning mark of 15.72 m set a new world record. Thereby, Nambu became the first athlete to hold the world record in both horizontal jumps. He retained both records until 1935, when he lost them to Jesse Owens (long jump) and Jack Metcalfe (triple jump).

paragraph: Nambu was also a strong sprinter. He won the 100 m race at the 1930 and 1933 Japanese Championships and set a Japanese record at 10.6 seconds in 1931.

paragraph: After retiring from competitions Nambu became a sports journalist for "Mainichi Shimbun". He also remained active in sports, being head coach for the Japanese Athletics Association, and acting as manager of the national team at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. In 1992, he was awarded the Olympic Order in silver by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). He died of pneumonia aged 93.
