 blinding strokes of Fortune, unaccountable and unforeseen.' Thucydides' work indicates an influence from the teachings of the Sophists that contributes substantially to the thinking and character of his History. Possible evidence includes his skeptical ideas concerning justice and morality.There are also elements within the History—such as his views on nature revolving around the factual, empirical, and the non-anthropomorphic—which suggest that he was at least aware of the views of philosophers such as Anaxagoras and Democritus. There is also evidence of his knowledge concerning some of the corpus of Hippocratic medical writings. Thucydides was especially interested in the relationship between human intelligence and judgment, Fortune and Necessity, and the idea that history is too irrational and incalculable to predict. Critical interpretation

Scholars traditionally view Thucydides as recognizing and teaching the lesson that democracies need leadership, but that leadership can be dangerous to democracy. Leo Strauss (in The City and Man) locates the problem in the nature of Athenian democracy itself, about which, he argued, Thucydides had a deeply ambivalent view: on one hand, Thucydides's own "wisdom was made possible" by the Periclean democracy, which had the effect of liberating individual daring, enterprise, and questioning spirit; but this same liberation, by permitting the growth of limitless political ambition, led to imperialism and, eventually, civic strife. For Canadian historian Charles Norris Cochrane (1889–1945), Thucydides's fastidious devotion to observable phenomena, focus on cause and effect, and strict


type: original

texts: exclusion of other factors anticipates twentieth-century scientific positivism. Cochrane, the son of a physician, speculated that <mask> generally (and especially in describing the plague in Athens) was influenced by the methods and thinking of early medical writers such as Hippocrates of Kos.After World War II, classical scholar Jacqueline de Romilly pointed out that the problem of Athenian imperialism was one of <mask>'s central preoccupations and situated his history in the context of Greek thinking about international politics. Since the appearance of her study, other scholars further examined Thucydides's treatment of realpolitik. More recently, scholars have questioned the perception of Thucydides as simply "the father of realpolitik". Instead they have brought to the fore the literary qualities of the History, which they see as belonging to the narrative tradition of Homer and Hesiod and as concerned with the concepts of justice and suffering found in Plato and Aristotle and problematized in Aeschylus and Sophocles. Richard Ned Lebow terms Thucydides "the last of the tragedians", stating that "Thucydides drew heavily on epic poetry and tragedy to construct his history, which not surprisingly is also constructed as a narrative." In this view, the blind and immoderate behaviour of the Athenians (and indeed of all the other actors)—although perhaps intrinsic to human nature—ultimately leads to their downfall. Thus his History could serve as a warning to future leaders to be more prudent, by putting them on notice that someone would be scrutinizing their actions with a historian's objectivity rather than a chronicler's

 flattery.The historian J. B. Bury writes that the work of <mask> "marks the longest and most decisive step that has ever been taken by a single man towards making history what it is today". Historian H. D. Kitto feels that <mask> wrote about the Peloponnesian War, not because it was the most significant war in antiquity, but because it caused the most suffering. Indeed, several passages of <mask>'s book are written "with an intensity of feeling hardly exceeded by Sappho herself". In his book The Open Society and Its Enemies, Karl Popper writes that <mask> was the "greatest historian, perhaps, who ever lived". <mask>'s work, however, Popper goes on to say, represents "an interpretation, a point of view; and in this we need not agree with him".In the war between Athenian democracy and the "arrested oligarchic tribalism of Sparta", we must never forget <mask>'s "involuntary bias", and that "his heart was not with Athens, his native city":
Although he apparently did not belong to the extreme wing of the Athenian oligarchic clubs who conspired throughout the war with the enemy, he was certainly a member of the oligarchic party, and a friend neither of the Athenian people, the demos, who had exiled him, nor of its imperialist policy. Comparison with Herodotus

<mask> and his immediate predecessor, Herodotus, both exerted a significant influence on Western historiography. Thucydides does not mention his counterpart by name, but his famous introductory statement is thought to refer to him:To hear this history rehearsed, for that there be inserted in it no fables, shall be perhaps not delightful. But he that desires to look into

texts:
 the truth of things done, and which (according to the condition of humanity) may be done again, or at least their like, shall find enough herein to make him think it profitable. And it is compiled rather for an everlasting possession than to be rehearsed for a prize. (1:22)

Herodotus records in his Histories not only the events of the Persian Wars, but also geographical and ethnographical information, as well as the fables related to him during his extensive travels. Typically, he passes no definitive judgment on what he has heard.In the case of conflicting or unlikely accounts, he presents both sides, says what he believes and then invites readers to decide for themselves. Of course, modern historians would generally leave out their personal beliefs, which is a form of passing judgment upon the events and people about which the historian is reporting. The work of Herodotus is reported to have been recited at festivals, where prizes were awarded, as for example, during the games at Olympia. Herodotus views history as a source of moral lessons, with conflicts and wars as misfortunes flowing from initial acts of injustice perpetuated through cycles of revenge. In contrast, <mask> claims to confine himself to factual reports of contemporary political and military events, based on unambiguous, first-hand, eye-witness accounts, although, unlike Herodotus, he does not reveal his sources. Thucydides views life exclusively as political life, and history in terms of political history. Conventional moral considerations play no role in his analysis of political events while geographic and ethnographic aspects are omitted or, at


texts: best, of secondary importance.Subsequent Greek historians—such as Ctesias, Diodorus, Strabo, Polybius and Plutarch—held up <mask>'s writings as a model of truthful history. Lucian refers to Thucydides as having given Greek historians their law, requiring them to say what had been done (). Greek historians of the fourth century BC accepted that history was political and that contemporary history was the proper domain of a historian. Cicero calls Herodotus the "father of history"; yet the Greek writer Plutarch, in his Moralia (Ethics) denigrated Herodotus, notably calling him a philobarbaros, a "barbarian lover", to the detriment of the Greeks. Unlike Thucydides, however, these authors all continued to view history as a source of moral lessons, thereby infusing their works with personal biases generally missing from Thucydides' clear-eyed, non-judgmental writings focused on reporting events in a non-biased manner. Due to the loss of the ability to read Greek, Thucydides and Herodotus were largely forgotten during the Middle Ages in Western Europe, although their influence continued in the Byzantine world. In Europe, Herodotus become known and highly respected only in the late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth century as an ethnographer, in part due to the discovery of America, where customs and animals were encountered that were even more surprising than what he had related.During the Reformation, moreover, information about Middle Eastern countries in the Histories provided a basis for establishing Biblical chronology as advocated by Isaac Newton. The first European translation of Thucydides (into Latin) was made by the


texts:
 humanist Lorenzo Valla between 1448 and 1452, and the first Greek edition was published by Aldo Manuzio in 1502. During the Renaissance, however, <mask> attracted less interest among Western European historians as a political philosopher than his successor, Polybius, although Poggio Bracciolini claimed to have been influenced by him. There is not much evidence of <mask>'s influence in Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince (1513), which held that the chief aim of a new prince must be to "maintain his state" [i.e., his power] and that in so doing he is often compelled to act against faith, humanity, and religion. Later historians, such as J. B. Bury, however, have noted parallels between them:

If, instead of a history, Thucydides had written an analytical treatise on politics, with particular reference to the Athenian empire, it is probable that ... he could have forestalled Machiavelli ... [since] the whole innuendo of the Thucydidean treatment of history agrees with the fundamental postulate of Machiavelli, the supremacy of reason of state.To maintain a state, said the Florentine thinker, "a statesman is often compelled to act against faith, humanity and religion". ... But ... the true Machiavelli, not the Machiavelli of fable ... entertained an ideal: Italy for the Italians, Italy freed from the stranger: and in the service of this ideal he desired to see his speculative science of politics applied. <mask> has no political aim in view: he was purely a historian. But it was part of the method of both alike to eliminate conventional sentiment and morality. In the seventeenth century, the English political philosopher Thomas

texts: Hobbes, whose Leviathan advocated absolute monarchy, admired <mask> and in 1628 was the first to translate his writings into English directly from Greek. <mask>, Hobbes, and Machiavelli are together considered the founding fathers of political realism, according to which, state policy must primarily or solely focus on the need to maintain military and economic power rather than on ideals or ethics.Nineteenth-century positivist historians stressed what they saw as <mask>'s seriousness, his scientific objectivity and his advanced handling of evidence. A virtual cult following developed among such German philosophers as Friedrich Schelling, Friedrich Schlegel, and Friedrich Nietzsche, who claimed that, "[in <mask>], the portrayer of Man, that culture of the most impartial knowledge of the world finds its last glorious flower." The late-eighteenth-century Swiss historian Johannes von Müller described <mask> as "the favourite author of the greatest and noblest men, and one of the best teachers of the wisdom of human life". For Eduard Meyer, Thomas Babington Macaulay and Leopold von Ranke, who initiated  modern source-based history writing, <mask> was again the model historian. Generals and statesmen loved him: the world he drew was theirs, an exclusive power-brokers' club. It is no accident that even today Thucydides turns up as a guiding spirit in military academies, neocon think tanks and the writings of men like Henry Kissinger; whereas Herodotus has been the choice of imaginative novelists (Michael Ondaatje's novel The English Patient and the film based on it boosted the sale of the Histories to a wholly unforeseen degree)

 and—as food for a starved soul—of an equally imaginative foreign correspondent from Iron Curtain Poland, Ryszard Kapuscinski. These historians also admired Herodotus, however, as social and ethnographic history increasingly came to be recognized as complementary to political history.In the twentieth century, this trend gave rise to the works of Johan Huizinga, Marc Bloch, and Fernand Braudel, who pioneered the study of long-term cultural and economic developments and the patterns of everyday life. The Annales School, which exemplifies this direction, has been viewed as extending the tradition of Herodotus. At the same time, <mask>'s influence was increasingly important in the area of international relations during the Cold War, through the work of Hans Morgenthau, Leo Strauss, and Edward Carr. The tension between the Thucydidean and Herodotean traditions extends beyond historical research. According to Irving Kristol, self-described founder of American neoconservatism, Thucydides wrote "the favorite neoconservative text on foreign affairs"; and Thucydides is a required text at the Naval War College, an American institution located in Rhode Island. On the other hand, Daniel Mendelsohn, in a review of a recent edition of Herodotus, suggests that, at least in his graduate school days during the Cold War, professing admiration of Thucydides served as a form of self-presentation:
To be an admirer of Thucydides' History, with its deep cynicism about political, rhetorical and ideological hypocrisy, with its all too recognizable protagonists—a liberal yet imperialistic democracy and an authoritarian oligarchy, engaged in a war of


texts:
 attrition fought by proxy at the remote fringes of empire—was to advertise yourself as a hardheaded connoisseur of global Realpolitik. Another contemporary historian believes that, while it is true that critical history "began with Thucydides, one may also argue that Herodotus' looking at the past as a reason why the present is the way it is, and to search for causality for events beyond the realms of Tyche and the Gods, was a much larger step."See also

<mask> (31 July 1947 – 4 November 1986) was a British composer, conductor and lecturer. <mask> was born in East Retford and studied composition, piano and organ at Aberdeen University, gaining an MA, with composition a major part of his final submission. His PhD (Compositional Techniques in the Music of Stockhausen (1951–1970)) was completed at Glasgow University in 1975. He completed a Cert. Ed in 1975 and was awarded the FLCM in Composition in 1979. He wrote a considerable amount of sacred and secular repertoire for choir and organ, and numerous chamber works. Academic work
<mask> was a lecturer at Kingston Polytechnic, now Kingston University, from 1977 until his untimely death in 1986.He founded the Polytechnic's Chamber Choir, becoming its first director, composing for the group and establishing a demanding calendar of concerts and cathedral residencies. The Chamber Choir under <mask> became one of the Polytechnic's premier ensembles, performing at major venues up and down the UK, as well as giving a Purcell Room performance. He died in Kingston-upon-Thames on 4 November 1986, aged 39. Much of <mask>'s output has remained unjustly neglected since his death. <mask>'s music is currently published by Benjamin Costello and Re-edimensions. On Monday 28 July 2008 the <mask> Memorial Recital took place at St Michael's, Cornhill, London, given by the resident organist and Director of Music Jonathan Rennert.

A wide variety of ensembles were available for the students to partake in, and the Music Centre was situated (as it is today) in an elegant Regency mansion set in extensive grounds adjacent to Richmond Park. The professional ensembles based at the Music Centre included the Medici Quartet and the London Sinfonietta, and the International Society for the Study of Tension in Performance was also established at the Music Centre. After <mask>'s death in 1986, the Chamber Choir was directed by <mask> until his move to Birmingham Conservatoire in 1990. <mask> Retrospective

texts: <mask> (8 February 1577 – 25 January 1640) was an English writer and fellow of Oxford University, best known for his encyclopedic book The Anatomy of Melancholy. Born in 1577 to a comfortably well-off family of the landed gentry, <mask> attended two grammar schools and matriculated into Brasenose College, Oxford in 1593, age 15. <mask>'s education at Oxford was unusually lengthy, possibly drawn out by an affliction of melancholy, and including an early transfer to Christ Church. <mask> received an MA and BD, and by 1607 was qualified as a tutor. From as early as 1603, <mask> indulged early literary interests at Oxford, including some Latin poems, a now-lost play performed before and panned by King James I himself, and his only surviving play: an academic satire called Philosophaster. This work, though less well regarded than <mask>'s masterpiece, has notably "received more attention than most of the other surviving examples of university drama". Sometime after obtaining his MA in 1605, <mask> was making some attempt to leave the university.Though he never fully succeeded, he managed to obtain the living of St Thomas the Martyr's Church, Oxford through the university, and external patronage for the benefice of Walesby and the rectorship of Seagrave. As a fellow of Oxford, he served in many minor administrative roles and as the librarian of Christ Church Library, from 1624 until his death. Over time he came to accept his "sequestered" existence in the libraries of Oxford, speaking highly of his alma mater throughout the Anatomy. <mask>'s most famous work and greatest

 achievement was The Anatomy of Melancholy. First published in 1621, it was reprinted with additions from <mask> no fewer than five times. A digressive and labyrinthine work, <mask> wrote as much to alleviate his own melancholy as to help others. The final edition came to more than 500,000 words total.The book is permeated by quotations from and paraphrases of many authorities, both classical and contemporary, amounting to the culmination of a lifetime's worth of erudition. <mask> died in 1640. His large personal library was split between the Bodleian and Christ Church. The Anatomy was used and plagiarised by many authors during his lifetime and after his death, but entered a lull in popularity through the 18th century. It was only the revelation of Laurence Sterne's plagiarism that revived interest in his work into the 19th century, especially among the Romantics. The Anatomy received more academic attention in the 20th and 21st centuries. Whatever his popularity, <mask> has always attracted distinguished readers, including Samuel Johnson, Benjamin Franklin, John Keats, William Osler, and Samuel Beckett.Early life and education

Family and grammar school

<mask> was born on 8 February 1577, to <mask> (1547–1619) and his wife, Dorothy (; 1560–1629), in Lindley, Leicestershire. <mask> believed himself to have been conceived on 9 PM on 25 May 1576, a time he often used in his astrological calculations. He was the second of four sons and fourth of ten children; his elder brother, William, is the only member of the family for whom we know more than minor biographical

 details, as he later became a noted antiquarian and topographer. Both his parents' families were members of the landed gentry, with the <mask>s from an old, if undistinguished, pedigree. <mask> may have inherited his medical interest; in the Anatomy, he writes of his mother's "excellent skill in chirurgery". William states a member of their mother's family, Anthony Faunt, was said to have died from "the passion of melancholy", and speaks fondly the family's maternal relation to Arthur Faunt, a Jesuit controversialist and uncle to William and <mask>. <mask> probably attended two grammar schools, the King Edward VI College, Nuneaton and Bishop Vesey's Grammar School, Sutton Coldfield.<mask> wrote in the Anatomy that students "think no slavery in the world (as once I did myself) like to that of a Grammar Scholar", which some writers have taken as suggestion that he was an unhappy schoolboy. More modern biographers, such as R. L. Nochimson and Michael O'Connell, have regarded it as <mask> merely presenting what was a popular sentiment, rather than hinting at any personal dislike or source of childhood melancholy. Oxford education

In July 1593, aged 15, <mask> matriculated into Brasenose College, Oxford, where his elder brother was already attending. <mask> did not receive his Bachelor's until 30 June 1602, and only after he migrated to Christ Church College in 1599. For the time between his matriculation and his transfer, almost nothing is known of <mask>. According to Anthony à Wood, <mask> "made considerable progress in logic and philosophy" at Brasenose, though the

texts: college left an impression sufficiently weak that <mask> himself made no mention of Brasenose in his corpus. Most Oxford students would have completed their education at nineteen, but by 1602, <mask> was twenty-six.Some biographers, such as Michael O'Connell and J. B. Bamborough, have cited this as evidence <mask> suffered some lengthy illness while a student, possibly melancholy. Record has been found of one "Robart <mask> of 20 yeres", a patient of London doctor and astrologist Simon Forman, who was treated for melancholy over a period of five months in 1597. "Robart <mask>"'s connection to the scholar <mask> is suggested not only by the "coincidence of name and age", but by <mask>'s later familiarity towards London, and the indication he was closely acquainted with Foreman from <mask>'s astrological notebooks. When he entered Christ Church in 1599, Wood reports <mask> was assigned the tutor of John Bancroft, "for form sake, tho' he wanted not a tutor"; though Bancroft was only three years his senior, he was six or seven years ahead of <mask> in his studies, and was well-connected within the church, later becoming the Bishop of Oxford. It seems some friendship developed between the two; <mask> praised Bancroft's construction at Cuddesdon in the Anatomy, implying he was a frequent visitor. At Christ Church, <mask> proceeded to an MA on 9 June 1605, and a BD in May 1614.Simultaneously, <mask> rose through the college ranks, attaining disciplus in 1599, philosophus secundi vicenarii in 1603, and philosophus primi vicenarii in 1607, the last of which qualified him as a

 tutor. Sometime after he obtained his MA, Bamborough considers it likely <mask> was attempting to leave the university. The college statutes required <mask> to take a BD after his MA, and <mask> chose not to proceed to DD. Early writings and plays
While at Oxford, <mask> indulged his literary interests alongside these academic ones. In 1603, on the accession of James I, <mask> contributed a short Latin verse celebrating the event to a commemorative Oxford volume; he made similar offering of twenty-one poems upon James's royal Oxford visit in 1605. On this visit, <mask> took active part in the "praeparation for the Kinges cominge", including a play he composed for the occasion. This play, since lost, has been identified with Alba, a pastoral comedy with a mythological subject matter, probably written in Latin.The play was performed before James I on 27 August 1605. According to a witness of the events, Philip Stringer, <mask>'s play was poorly received by James and his court. The queen consort and her ladies took offence at several "almost naked" male actors, probably portraying satyrs, and the king was so displeased by the production that the chancellors of both Oxford and Cambridge had to plead for him to stay, as otherwise he "would have gone before half the Comedy had been ended". However <mask> reacted to this royal pan, he was already at work on another play by 1606. This play, Philosophaster—which is fully extant across three manuscripts—was finished by 1615, by which time <mask> was revising and correcting it. <mask> speaks briefly of Philosophaster in the

 Anatomy, mentioning that it was performed at Christ Church on 16 February 1617, during the Shrovetide festivities. The play was acted by the students alongside three local townsmen.<mask> likely took a view towards pleasing the administration in this production. The play cast the son of John King, then Dean of Christ Church, in a leading role, and departed from Alba controversial mythological themes for the less contentious ones of an academic satire. Appointments and the Anatomy

Offices at St Thomas's, Walesby, and Seagrave

<mask> initially struggled to find any patrons for promotion out of the university, but after some time, he managed to obtain an ecclesiastical office in the living of St Thomas the Martyr's Church, Oxford, located in the western suburb of Oxford. He was nominated to this by the dean and chapter of Christ Church on 29 November 1616. He was licensed to preach on 3 December 1618. <mask> held this vicarage at St Thomas's, until his death; he was responsible for the building or rebuilding of the church's south porch in 1621, where his arms were placed on the gable. In 1624, Lady Frances Cecil, dowager Countess of Exeter presented <mask> to the Lincolnshire benefice of Walesby.<mask> was perhaps the tutor of Frances' son, <mask>. <mask> chose not to reside in Walesby, though he probably visited it at some point. He took little interest in the daily affairs of the parish—all the parish records were signed by his curate, Thomas Benson—but did win for it nine acres of land which had been taken by Frances's predecessor. <mask> resigned from this post in

texts: 1631. In the 1632 edition of the Anatomy, appended below a mention of his Walesby appointment, <mask> tersely added: "Lately resigned for some special reasons". After his resignation, Lady Frances temporarily turned over the duty to appoint <mask>'s successor to her friend, the first Earl of Middlesex, suggesting that <mask> resigned over Middlesex's pressure to appoint his own favourite. In 1632, shortly after this resignation from Walesby, <mask> was presented to a much more valuable office by his patron, Lord Berkeley: the rectorship of Seagrave.Berkeley had been a patron of <mask> since at least 1621, when <mask> dedicated the Anatomy to Lord Berkeley. Their relationship may have begun even earlier, in 1619, when Berkeley matriculated from Christ Church, and perhaps entered the tutelage of <mask>. In any case, on 3 September 1624, Lord Berkeley granted <mask> the advowson (i.e. the right to decide the next occupant) of the wealthy living of Seagrave. This right necessitated that the holder of the advowson pick a candidate other than himself, but three days later <mask> assigned three of his family members to this position, so he could procure his own future appointment. On 15 June 1632, promptly after the previous incumbent was buried, the relatives presented him to the office. <mask> did not cultivate much of a reputation as a preacher while at Seagrave, choosing not to publish any of his sermons, but discharged the pastoral and charitable roles of the rectory dutifully and punctually.<mask> probably  visited Lindley often while at Seagrave, as the villages were

 only 20 miles apart. The office was the most valuable <mask> ever held; in 1650, the rectory was valued at £100. University life
Other than that afforded to him by the Countess of Exeter and Lord Berkeley, <mask> received little preferment. Because of this, even as he received appointments outside the university, <mask> remained an Oxford student for the rest of his life. <mask> seems to have been, at first, unhappy with this situation; in the 1621 edition of the Anatomy, <mask> wrote that his "hopes were still frustrate, and I left behind, as a Dolphin on shore, confined to my Colledge, as Diogenes to his tubbe". This exasperation seems to have been passing; by the Anatomy final edition, he had revised the passage in praise of his "monastick life [...] sequestered from those tumults & troubles of the world", unindebted for his lack of preferment. Bamborough has gone as far as to claim it is unlikely <mask> ever truly wanted to leave the college he spoke so highly of, as the "most flourishing College of Europe", one which "can brag with Jovius, almost, in that splendor of Vaticanish retirement, confined to the company of the distinguished".The 1602 reopening of the Bodleian Library at Oxford, which by 1620 held over 16,000 volumes, gave some truth to <mask>'s proud comparison of the scholarship at Oxford to that of Jovius's Vatican. <mask> did not spend all his time in this "Vaticanish retirement" as a scholar. He held various minor offices in Oxford. On three occasions–in 1615, 1617, and 1618–<mask> was chosen to be the clerk of the Market, one of two MA students

 tasked with regulating the various goods of Oxford's markets. Now a sinecure, the office was an important institution in <mask>'s time. This occupation has been cited by two biographers, O'Connell and Nochimson, to suggest, contrary to the bookish image given by his Anatomy, <mask> had some knowledge of the day-to-day affairs of Oxford. Perhaps closer befitting his image, on 27 August 1624, <mask> became the librarian of Christ Church Library.The office was a recent creation—the first librarian was appointed in 1599, and library had been founded only a half-century earlier—but a recent donation by an Otho Nicholson had ensured it was a profitable one, tripling the incumbent's wages to 10s a term. The duties, however, were sparse—limited to enforcing the loose regulations of the institution, and opening and closing it at the appropriate times—probably allowing <mask> more than enough time to accumulate the erudition exhibited in the Anatomy. <mask> held this position until his death. In 1635, painter Gilbert Jackson produced an oil portrait of <mask>; this painting is now held at Brasenose College. Publication of the Anatomy

Whatever other activities he engaged in, composing the Anatomy was the most important pursuit and accomplishment of <mask>'s life. <mask>, as he claims in the preface, was "as desirous to suppress my labours in this kind, as others have been to press and publish theirs", but admits that melancholy is the subject upon which he is "fatally driven", and so he was compelled to compose the work. <mask> left no record of when he began his work on the


texts: Anatomy.O'Connell speculates the project grew piecemeal, with research begun in his twenties, and the work well on its way by his thirties. <mask> explicitly states that the study of melancholy was a lifelong fascination of his, and regularly "deducted from the main channel of my studies". However long the work took, he had certainly concluded it by 5 December 1620, aged 43, when he signed the "Conclusion to the Reader". The book was printed in 1621 and, despite <mask>'s indication in the Anatomy of troubles finding a publisher, it quickly sold well. Wood wrote that the publisher, Henry Cripps, made such a "great profit" off the book that he "got an estate by it". <mask>'s subject was well chosen; similar treatises by Timothie Bright and Thomas Wright had gone through several editions soon after their publication. Though <mask> never divulged the extent of his profits, the size of his estate and library at death suggests they were considerable.<mask> printed the Anatomy under the pseudonym of "Democritus Junior", alluding to the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher, Democritus, sometimes known as the Laughing Philosopher. The use of an established classical figure in a pseudonym was common practice in <mask>'s time, used to ensure the reader held no negative preconceptions about the author. <mask> did not resolutely stick to this pseudonymity; the first edition betrayed it as he signed the "Conclusion to the Reader" with his real name, and though this was removed in later editions, the portrait of <mask> added from the third edition onwards hardly preserved his anonymity.

texts:
 <mask> did not rest on his laurels after the first printing, continually editing and improving the work throughout his life. The first edition of <mask>'s Anatomy was, with marginalia, over 350,000 words long; by his final edition this count came to over 500,000. The additions were largest for the second and third editions; the original quarto volume had to be expanded to a folio for the second edition (1624) to accommodate the expansions. For the third edition (1628), an allegorical frontispiece was added, engraved by Christian Le Blon, with a portrait of <mask> atop his moniker "Democritus Junior".After these two additions, <mask> vowed: " [do not do too much]. I will not hereafter add, alter, or retract; I have done." However, once again, <mask> returned to the Anatomy, producing two more editions in 1634 and 1638. Shortly before his death in 1640, <mask> entrusted an annotated copy of the Anatomy to his publisher, which was published posthumously in 1651. In total, <mask> made contributions to six editions. Two more reprints of the Anatomy were made before the end of the century. Death

<mask> drew up his will on 15 August 1639.Five months later, aged 62 and on 25 January 1640, he was dead. The will divided his inherited estates up amongst his elder brother, William, and William's heirs. Outside of his family, his largest bequests went, unsurprisingly, to the Bodleian and Christ Church libraries, with gifts of £100 each, and <mask>'s large library split between the institutions. He also laid out several smaller monetary donations: those to his servants; the

 servants at Christ Church; the poor in Seagrave, Nuneaton, and Higham; the library at Brasenose; and various friends and colleagues, including John Bancroft. <mask> was buried in the north aisle of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, on 27 January. William erected a monument to <mask> in the cathedral: a coloured effigy of <mask>, flanked by an astrological representation of his nativity and geometric instruments, with a short Latin epitaph below, said to have been composed by <mask>. Writing near the close of the 17th century, John Aubrey records a rumour circulated among Oxford students, asserting that <mask> took his own life.Writing around the same time, in an early biography of <mask>, Wood added that <mask> was supposed to have done this so his date of death would fit his exact astrological calculations. This rumour is dubious, and has been largely rejected by biographers as far back as Wood. Angus Gowland, in his 2006 study of <mask>, is among the few who take the allegation seriously, though he admits it is "no more than a melancholy rumour". <mask> rejected the endorsements of suicide by classical authors in the Anatomy, and if the rumours were taken to have any veracity after his death, <mask> would not have been buried in Christ Church cathedral. Gowland counters this evidence, citing the charity shown by <mask> in the Anatomy for those tempted by suicide, and  conjecturing a conspiracy of the "notoriously close-knit College" to keep <mask>'s suicide secret.

texts: work as The Anatomy of Melancholy. Ostensibly a three-part treatise on depression and its treatment, the book consists of quotations from, paraphrases of and commentary on numerous authors, from many fields of learning, and ranging from classical times to his contemporaries, in a "tangled web of opinion and authority".According to Wood, <mask> was apparently famed at Oxford employing this prose style in his speech, effortlessly recalling passages as he spoke. The Anatomy is digressive and confusing in its structure; <mask> himself apologetically admitted to "bring[ing] forth this confused lump", excusing himself over a shortage of time. Over the five editions, he did little to amend this confusion, preferring to append more to the labyrinthine text. The book is the fruit of a lifetime's worth of learning, though <mask> emphasised in the Anatomy that erudition is ultimately pointless, and that it is perhaps better to remain ignorant. <mask> wrote The Anatomy of Melancholy largely to write himself out of being a lifelong sufferer from depression. As he described his condition in the preface "Democritus Junior to the Reader", "a kind of imposthume in my head, which I was very desirous to be unladen of and could imagine no fitter evacuation than this ... I write of melancholy, by being busy to avoid melancholy.There is no greater cause of melancholy than idleness, no better cure than business". In his view, melancholy was "a disease so frequent ... in our miserable times, as few there are that feele not the smart of it", and he said he compiled his book "to prescribe

 means how to prevent and cure so universall a malady, an Epidemicall disease, that so often, so much crucifies the body and mind". For <mask>, "melancholy" describes a range of mental abnormalities, from obsession to delusion to what we would now call clinical depression. <mask> at once gives a multitude of remedies for melancholy, and warns they are all ultimately useless, in characteristic self-contradiction. Philosophaster

Philosophaster is a play, satirising on the 17th-century university, composed in Latin during <mask>'s time as an Oxford student. The plot of Philosophaster follows the university of Osuna in Andalusia, recently founded by one Desiderius, Duke of Osuna, in hope of attracting scholars. However, the university actually attracts a crowd of philosophasters—pseudo-philosophers, Jesuits, and prostitutes—who con the Duke and townspeople into believing their disguises, capitalising on their naivete in a series of farcical scenes.Amidst this chaos, two true philosophers, Polumathes and Philobiblos (their names literally meaning "Much-Learned" and "Lover of Books") appear and unmask the philosophasters. The resultant controversy among the townspeople nearly causes the Duke to close the university, but he is persuaded otherwise by Polumathes. In the comic climax, the fraudsters are branded and exiled, two characters marry, and the play concludes with a "hymn in praise of philosophy [...] to the tune of Bonny Nell". As Connie McQuillen has put it, the distinguishing quality Philosophaster is the "patchwork of borrowings" with which it was written.

masks: Burton Burton Burton


texts: Stylistically, Philosophaster is declared on the title page to be a Comoedia Nova (or New Comedy) a satirical genre Kathryn Murphy describes as "in the tradition of Plautus and Terence." <mask> borrowed many elements from these Roman comedies: the tendency of characters to burst into song; the character of the clever slave; the love between a high-born man and low-born girl, who is later revealed to be of noble birth. <mask> also borrows episodes from contemporary academic satires—dealing with the perennial feuds between town and gown, the distinction between "true" and "false" scholars, the ridicule of pedants—and characters from humanist satirists, chiefly Erasmus and Giovanni Pontano.The play's depiction of alchemy bears some passing resemblance to Ben Jonson's play The Alchemist, but <mask> takes strains to point out in the introduction to a manuscript that his play was written before the first staging of Jonson's play, in 1610. In interpreting the Philosophaster, many authors have understood it solely in relation to the Anatomy, as an academic satire on the excesses of university life, especially that of Oxford. Angus Gowland, describing the University of Osuna as a "thinly disguised Oxford", asserts that "the purpose of the play was to ridicule contemporary scholarship and provoke reform", in anticipation of the Anatomy satirical themes. As O'Connell put it more succinctly, the play's "main satiric thrust, that pseudolearned charlatans find a ready haven in a university, is meant to find its general target in Oxford". This much is obvious in certain


texts:
 characters—such as Theanus, an elderly college administrator who has forgotten all his scholarship, but still earns an exorbitant salary tutoring the sons of the gentry—whom the audience were expected to be familiar with within academia. However, critic Kathryn Murphy has pointed out that Philosophaster contains a significant, and often underappreciated, undercurrent of anti-Catholicism. <mask>'s philosophasters are joined by the representatives of Roman Catholicism, including scholastics and Jesuits, in their mockery of philosophy and the university.Murphy has suggested these themes reflect the pervading cultural influence of the Gunpowder Plot in <mask>'s lifetime, which took place a year before the play was set. Personal life

Character

Despite his eccentric portrayals as such by some later Romantic authors, there is "no evidence that <mask> was a recluse, and testimony that he had some real practical interests", Bamborough emphasises. He was no doubt an active part in the non-academic daily life of Oxford, through his university-appointed roles in its church and market life, and Bamborough adds that in his day he "was known as a mathematician and as both an astrologer and an astronomer, and even had some reputation as a surveyor". Wood also notes that <mask>'s unsurpassed skill at including "verses from the poets or sentences from classical authors" in his everyday speech, "then all the fashion in the university", allowed him some popularity. However, <mask>'s "most significant occupations during his life were reading and writing", and his large library is

texts:
 evidence enough of this prodigious bookishness. Of his character, Wood wrote:

Religious views
Gowland has suggested the <mask> family had some Catholic sympathies, because of their close relation to Jesuit Arthur Faunt. Faunt's godson and <mask>'s brother, William, spoke admiringly of Faunt as "a man of great learning, gravity and wisdome"; William was a vigorous supporter of Laudian reforms in his home county, siding with High Church Anglicanism, which was sometimes seen as Catholic-sympathising and at St Thomas's, <mask> was apparently one of the last few 17th-century Church of England priests to use unleavened wafers in the Communion, an outmoded Laudian practice.However, as an Oxford scholar, <mask> could have taken a personal dislike to Archbishop Laud; as the Chancellor there from 1630 to 1641, Laud was in perpetual squabbles with its body of scholars, which would not endear him to <mask>. <mask> was an apparent supporter of James I's anti-Catholic measures, listed among those at Christ Church who took his Oath of Allegiance. The anti-Catholic portions of Philosophaster were revised shortly after James released the Oath, possibly to satirise the ensuing Catholic backlash. As Adam Kitzes put it, <mask> "makes no bones about his allegiance to the king and the Church of England". <mask> also claimed part of his reasoning in not proceeding to a DD (Doctor of Divinity) was his reluctance to participate in the endless argument surrounding religion, for which he "saw no such great neede". Library

According to Bamborough, "to describe <mask> as 'bookish' can only be


texts: called ridiculous understatement". <mask> owned 1738 books in total, tenfold the library of a typical Oxford don, though not as vast as those of some other contemporary humanist scholars.He accumulated the collection over a forty-six year period, from 1594 to 1640. The profits from the Anatomy probably funded most of the library, larger than his modest academic and ecclesiastical income would have been able to cover. The majority of the library's contents was in Latin, but the number of English volumes was untypically large. <mask> seems to have been uncomfortable reading outside these two primary languages; he owned only a handful of titles in Italian, German, Spanish, and Hebrew, and none in Greek, the last despite his humanist reputation and the recurring Grecian references in the Anatomy. Again despite this reputation, the majority of <mask>'s library was contemporary. He owned hundreds of cheap pamphlets, satires, and popular plays: all works which had been excluded from the recently founded Bodleian Library, perhaps why <mask> felt the need to purchase them. Though religious works composed the largest category in his library (about one quarter), the remaining three quarters were made up by an eclectic collection of literary, historical, medical, and geographical volumes, testifying to <mask>'s broad scholarship.<mask> was an avid annotator of books, with marginal notes in around one-fifth of his books, from the tangential to the bluntly hostile. <mask>'s library was divided between the Bodleian and Christ Church libraries after his death. In the early 20th

 century, Oxford Regius Professor of Medicine William Osler, an enthusiast for <mask>, found <mask>'s bequests "scattered indiscriminately" throughout the two libraries, and, from 1907 to 1908, set about having them gathered together in one collection, rediscovering over a thousand of <mask>'s volumes. In Christ Church Library, Osler set up an elaborate display of these books surrounding a copy of the Brasenose Portrait of Burton. Osler delivered an address on the contents of <mask>'s library the following year. In 1964, Christ Church Library disassembled Osler's Burton collection, moving the books to the Archiva Superiora on the second floor. This collection comprises 1530 of the 1738 books and two manuscripts owned by <mask>.The remaining 210 were distributed to either various acquaintances of <mask>; gifted or traded to other libraries or bookshops; or by selling duplicates, some of which are unrecorded. Of the 140 books yet to be located, it is thought that around half of these are extant. Christ Church Library has referred to <mask>'s library as "one of the most important surviving English private libraries from the period before the Civil War". Reputation and legacy

<mask>'s Anatomy was an extremely popular work in <mask>'s lifetime, and throughout the 17th century, going through eight editions from 1621 to 1676, as its readers interpreted and employed it to varied, personal ends. Wood wrote that the Anatomy, as "a Book so full of variety of reading", prompted hack authors to borrow shamelessly from the work. Some authors, "who have lost their time and are put


texts: to a push for invention" poached his numerous classical quotations, in a show of erudition. In the 18th century, George Steevens retrospectively noted it as "a book once the favourite of the learned and witty, and a source of surreptitious learning".Certainly, scholars copied and emulated the Anatomy to their own ends: William Vaughan repurposed <mask>'s critique of court patronage towards an anti-Catholic end in The Golden Fleece (1626); Nathanael Carpenter imitated <mask>'s intimate articulation of his own melancholy and defence of scholarship for his Geography delineated forth (1625); and Richard Whitlock, in his Zootomia (1654), plagiarised <mask>'s defence of scholarship wholesale in defending the university from contemporary Puritan attacks. For the dramatists such as John Ford, <mask>'s treatise "was virtually an authoritative psychiatric textbook", used as a reference work for their depictions of melancholy. Richard Holdsworth, when Master of Emmanuel College, Cambridge (1637–43), recommended it as a comprehensive digest to "serve for [the] delight and ornament" of young gentlemen, bestowing that learning expected of a gentleman rather than that of a serious scholar. The earliest biography of <mask> appeared in 1662, as part of Thomas Fuller's Worthies of England; this was followed by Anthony à Wood in his 1692 volume of Athenae Oxonienses. Into the 18th century, <mask> experienced something of a lull in popularity. The Anatomy did still obtain a few distinguished readers in this period. Samuel Johnson, himself a melancholic, was an avid reader of <mask>;


texts: Boswell's Life of Johnson reports that Johnson remarked the Anatomy was "the only book that ever took him out of bed two hours sooner than he wished to rise".Though no American edition was published until 1836, <mask>'s work procured a few prominent readers in early America. One such reader was American Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, who marvelled to a friend "that, in the last Century, a Folio, <mask> on Melancholy, went through six Editions in about twenty years. We have, I believe, more Readers now, but not such huge Books." <mask>'s influence during this period was chiefly as reservoir of quotes and anecdotes for less sophisticated authors to borrow from. One such borrower was Laurence Sterne, who shamelessly incorporated passages of <mask> throughout his Tristram Shandy (1759), an act of plagiarism which was not revealed for nearly thirty years, until the publication of John Ferriar's Illustrations of Sterne (1798). After Ferriar made this influence known, <mask> and his work experienced a revival of interest. A new edition, the first in over a century, was published in 1800; more than forty were published throughout the 19th century.The Romantics, especially Charles Lamb and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, admired the work as an erudite curiosity. Lamb illustrated <mask> in his "Detached Thoughts on Books and Reading" (1833) as "that fantastic great old man", creating the image of <mask> as an eccentric and erudite academic which has since stuck, for whatever truth it possessed. The Anatomy was among John Keats's favourite books, and was used as a major source for


texts: the plot of his poem "Lamia" (1820). <mask>'s prose style wasn't universally appreciated, appearing pedantic and pretentious to some 19th-century critics. The Victorian poet and literary critic T. E. Brown disparaged the Anatomy as "the sweepings of the medieval dustbin" or some "enormous labyrinthine joke". Into the early 20th century, this romantic view transitioned into the more academic study of <mask>'s masterpiece. William Osler—widely regarded as the father of modern medicine—was a lifelong devotee of <mask> and described the Anatomy as "the greatest medical treatise written by a layman".According to one scholar, "the revival of critical interest in The Anatomy of Melancholy owes not a little to Osler's direct influence". Following Osler's influence, Burtonian studies were primarily bibliographical in the early 20th century, with the exception of an influential essay by critic Morris Croll on the "Senecan style" in <mask>'s late Renaissance prose. By the middle of the 20th century, psychoanalytic critics of the Anatomy emerged, regarding <mask>'s masterpiece as a work of psychological autobiography. In The Psychiatry of <mask> (1944), for instance, critic Bergen Evans and psychiatrist George Mohr combed the Anatomy for references to mothers in an attempt to reconstruct <mask>'s own relationship with his mother. This psychoanalytic tendency has been criticised by more modern biographers of <mask>, especially by R. L. Nochimson, who dedicated an article to amending the "amazing carelessness" with which <mask>'s literary and real personae have been confused.

texts: Stanley Fish's 1972 monograph Self-Consuming Artifacts inaugurated the postmodern interpretation of <mask>'s Anatomy, which alternatingly saw it as a satirical indictment of humanistic encyclopedism, or a desperate suppression of <mask>'s anxiety over the immensity of his subject matter. However, in total, <mask>'s Anatomy only accrued a small handful of monographs in the second half of the 20th century.The most detailed study of this period was a French monograph by <mask> Simon, a fact which, according to one scholar, "speaks volumes about the marginalization of the Anatomy in Anglophone early modern studies [of that period]." <mask> earned a new generation of enthusiasts in the 20th and 21st centuries. As journalist Nick Lezard observed in 2000, though not often reprinted, "<mask>'s Anatomy of Melancholy survives among the cognoscenti". Samuel Beckett drew influence from <mask>'s Anatomy, both in the misogynistic depiction of women in his early fiction, and the Latin quotations (via <mask>) found throughout in his work. The eminent literary critic Northrop Frye was an admirer of the Anatomy; he characterized it as "an enormous survey of human life" which "ranks with Chaucer and Dickens, except the characters are books rather than people". Psychiatrist and historian of ideas Jacques Barzun held up <mask> as "the first systematic psychiatrist", praising him for the collection of "widely scattered case histories" of melancholia for his Anatomy, and treating the mentally ill with a "tender sympathy" uncharacteristic of subsequent psychiatrists.

texts: Alexander Theroux has named <mask> as one of his influences, and sometimes imitates his style.English novelist Philip Pullman praised the work in a 2005 article for The Telegraph as a "glorious and intoxicating and endlessly refreshing reward for reading". For Pullman, it is "one of the indispensable books; for my money, it is the best of all." Australian singer/songwriter Nick Cave listed <mask>'s Anatomy as one of his favourite books. Though <mask>'s legacy lies almost exclusively in his authorship of the Anatomy, his Philosophaster has increasingly been examined alongside it. As Murphy observed, Philosophaster "has received more attention than most of the other surviving examples of university drama." Since its first, mid-19th-century publication in Latin, it has been published three more times, twice with original translations into English. In 1930, it was even performed at the University of California.The play has received a mixed reception from modern scholars. Literary critic Martin Spevack dismissed it as "an obvious and elementary string of transparent sketches". O'Connell has, however, described it as "perhaps the most appealing of <mask>'s Latin works", he notes that the "liveliness in its representation of university life" redeems the "weak plotting and flat characterization." The 19th-century critic of Elizabethan drama Arthur Henry Bullen wrote of it that the philosophasters "are portrayed with considerable humour and skill, and the lyrical portions of the play are written with a light hand". Bamborough summed it up as "not without genuine merit,

<mask> (born November 14, 1946) is a former American football defensive back, punt returner and kickoff returner. He played college football for the University of Michigan Wolverines (1966–1968) and professionally in the National Football League (NFL) for the Arizona Cardinals (1971), New England Patriots (1972–1973), San Diego Chargers (1974), Denver Broncos (1975), and New York Jets (1975). In high school, Hoey was an All-State halfback. At the University of Michigan,  College Football Hall of Fame halfback Ron Johnson was in <mask>'s class, and Hoey was therefore used principally as a defensive back. <mask> is most remembered for his work as a punt returner at Michigan. He led the Big Ten Conference in punt return yards in 1967 and 1968, and still holds Michigan's modern era (post-1949) records for most punt return yards in a game (140), most return yards per punt in a season (24.3) and most return yards per punt in a career (17.1). <mask> was also a record-setting sprinter on Michigan's track and field team.In five seasons in the NFL, <mask> was principally a kickoff returner. In 1971, he set a St. Louis Cardinals club record with six kickoff returns for 206 yards, including one for 103 yards and a touchdown. He had 534 kickoff return yards in his career. Since 1993, <mask> has worked in administration at the University of Colorado. He worked first in academic services for the athletic department. After controversies in the late 1990s concerning eligibility of University of Colorado athletes, <mask> accepted a position in the school's career services department providing career counseling to student athletes.

 Michigan at age 13. At Flint Central High School, he excelled in both football and track. When No. 1 ranked Flint Central met No. 2 ranked Bay City Central in 1963, it was billed as the "Game of the Year." Flint Central won the game 25–18, as <mask> (then only a junior) scored three touchdowns, including a 63-yard punt return for a touchdown, and a pass interception that <mask> ran back 35 yards for a touchdown on the final play of the game. As a senior in 1964, <mask> was named an All-State halfback by The Detroit News and UPI.In naming him to its All-State team, the UPI noted: "<mask>, a 5-foot-10, 165-pounder, gained 502 yards in 64 carries and caught 17 passes. He scored 11 touchdowns to lead the Saginaw Valley Conference for the second straight year. A great broken-field runner, he has scored eight touchdowns on kickoff or punt returns during his two-year stint with the varsity." He also led the Saginaw Valley Conference in scoring for two seasons. On his high school track team, <mask> won the 60-yard dash at the Central Michigan Relays Invitational indoor meet with a time of 6.3 seconds. He was All-State in track at the 1965 Michigan High School Athletic Association Class A track meet. University of Michigan track and football star
In 1965, <mask> became the first African-American athlete from Flint to earn a University of Michigan scholarship.At Michigan, <mask> excelled in both football and track. In track, <mask> set a 60-yard dash record with a time of 6.1 in 1966. He was a member of the Wolverines' record-setting 4 × 100 metres relay with a time of 40.6. In football, <mask> did not make the team as a halfback, having the misfortune to be in the same class as College Football Hall of Famer Ron Johnson. He started only three games at

 halfback during his time at Michigan (and one at fullback). With Ron Johnson playing halfback, <mask> was used principally as a defensive back and punt returner. Playing against Navy in 1968, <mask> had two interceptions which he returned for 31 yards, and punt returns of 63 and 36 yards.He was named an All-Big Ten defensive back in 1968. Punt return records at Michigan
Though he was also an All-Big Ten defensive back, <mask> is most remembered as one of the leading punt returners in Michigan history. He led the Big Ten in punt return yards in 1967 and 1968, and holds several Michigan school records for punt returns, including most return yards in a game and most yards per return in a season and a career. Most yards in a game
On October 28, 1967, <mask> gained 140 yards on four punt returns against Minnesota—still Michigan's single-game record for punt return yardage. <mask> and Steve Breaston are the only two Michigan players with two games in the top ten single-game performances by a Michigan punt returner. Most yards per return in a season
Hoey also holds the modern (post-1949) Michigan school record for yards per return in a season. His 1967 average of 24.3 yards/return exceeds any other modern Michigan punt returner by more than eight yards per return (minimum 1.2 return per team game played).<mask>'s 1967 average ranks sixth in NCAA Division I-A history behind the all-time Michigan leader Gene Derricotte who ranks fifth. However, the Michigan record books base single-season leadership based upon minimum 15 returns per game and <mask>'s name is omitted. N.B. :The database used here includes stats since 1949.

The club record for longest return was broken in 1979 by Roy Green, who posted a 106-yard return. <mask> had the misfortune of playing with losing teams throughout his NFL career. The best team that he played for was the 1975 Denver Broncos, who recorded a 6–8 record. Professional career at the University of Colorado
Hoey has worked in various capacities at the University of Colorado.From 1993–1999, <mask> was involved in academic services in Colorado's athletic department. Hoey "came under fire for an eligibility problem of a prospective CU athlete," including linebacker Anwawn Jones who lost a year of eligibility and was forced to sit out the 1999 NCAA Division I-A football season due to an error in calculating his transfer credits. In 1999, <mask> transferred out of the athletic department and began working in the university's career services department. That October, Jones told The Denver Post that <mask> "wasn't necessarily a scapegoat, but there were definitely mistakes  made in his department." Recruiting issues arose after

Field Marshal <mask>, 3rd Earl of Lucan,  (16 April 1800 – 10 November 1888), styled Lord Bingham before 1839, was an Anglo-Irish aristocrat and British Army officer. He was one of three men, along with Captain Nolan and Lord Raglan, responsible for the fateful order during the Battle of Balaclava in October 1854 that led to the Light Brigade commander, The Earl of Cardigan, leading the Charge of the Light Brigade. He was subsequently promoted to field marshal. Lord <mask> was a ruthless landlord during the Great Famine in Ireland, evicting thousands of his Irish tenants and renting his land to wealthy ranchers. He also came up with a solution that allowed Jews to sit in Parliament. Life and military career

Born the first son of Richard Bingham, 2nd Earl of Lucan, an Anglo-Irish peer, and Elizabeth Bingham (née Belasyse), Lord Bingham (as he was styled up until late June 1839) attended Westminster School but left formal education to be commissioned as an ensign in the 6th Regiment of Foot on 29 August 1816. He transferred to the 11th Light Dragoons on 24 December 1818.Lord Bingham became a lieutenant in the 8th Regiment of Foot on 20 January 1820, a captain in the 74th Regiment of Foot on 16 May 1822 and was promoted to major, unattached, on 23 June 1825. He transferred to the 17th Lancers on 1 December 1825 and became commanding officer of the regiment with the rank of lieutenant colonel on 9 November 1826; he lavished such expense on his officers' uniforms and horses that the officers became known as "Bingham's Dandies". He was also elected as MP for County Mayo in 1826 and held that seat until 1830. During the Russo-Turkish War, which

 began in 1828, he acted observer with the Imperial Russian Army. 'The Exterminator'

Lord Bingham succeeded his father as 3rd Earl of Lucan in the Peerage of Ireland on 30 June 1839 and, having become an Irish Representative Peer in June 1840 and having been promoted to colonel on 23 November 1841, he became Lord Lieutenant of Mayo in 1845. During the Great Famine in the late 1840s, he was ruthless and introduced mass evictions from villages such as Ballinrobe. Famously stating that he "would not breed paupers to pay priests," he demolished over 300 homes and evicted 2,000 people in Ballinrobe between 1846 and 1849.He even insisted on closing the workhouse in Castlebar at the height of the Famine. For this, Lord Bingham earned the hatred of many Irishmen and became known as "The Exterminator." He was promoted to major general on 11 November 1851. Crimean War

At the outbreak of the Crimean War, Lord <mask>, was one of his subordinates, commanding the Light Brigade – an unfortunate choice as the two men heartily detested each other. Promoted to brevet lieutenant general on 18 August 1854, he was present at the Battle of Alma in September 1854 but, on the orders of the Army commander, Lord Raglan, he held his division in reserve. At the Battle of Balaclava in October 1854, <mask> received an order from Raglan and in turn ordered Cardigan to lead the Charge of the Light Brigade, resulting in heavy British casualties without significant gains.As <mask> brought the Heavy Brigade forward in support, he was lightly wounded in the leg. Raglan blamed <mask> for the loss ("You have lost the light brigade"), and censured him in despatches. Although

 <mask> complained against this censure, as the relationship between the army commander and the cavalry commander had clearly broken down, he was recalled to England, where he returned at the beginning of March 1855. On his arrival, <mask>'s demand for a court-martial was declined and instead he defended himself with a speech to the House of Lords on 19 March 1855, blaming Raglan and his deceased aide-de-camp, Captain Louis Nolan. This tactic appears to have been successful as he was subsequently appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath on 5 July 1855, and Colonel of the 8th Light Dragoons, who had charged with the Light Brigade, on 17 November 1855. Later life
A significant contribution was made by <mask> to Parliament when he produced a solution to the problem of admitting Jews to Parliament. Prior to this, distinguished Jews had declined to take the oath "on the true faith of a Christian" and having not been sworn in as required by statute, were refused voting rights although having been elected an MP.<mask> proposed, by way of a compromise, that each House could decide and modify its own oath. The House of Lords, who had long opposed the admission of Jews, agreed to this. A prominent Jew, Lionel Nathan Rothschild, was thus allowed to enter the House of Commons and was sworn in on 26 July 1858. Although <mask> never again saw active duty, he was promoted to lieutenant general on 24 December 1858, and, having become colonel of the 1st Regiment of Life Guards on 27 February 1865, he was to promoted to general on 28 August 1865 and advanced to Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath in 1869. He formally retired in October 1877,

 but after some lobbying he was promoted to field marshal on 21 June 1887. He died at 13 South Street, Park Lane, London, on 10 November 1888 and was buried at Laleham in Middlesex. Family
In 1829, Bingham married Lady Anne Brudenell, seventh daughter of Robert Brudenell, 6th Earl of Cardigan; they had six children, two daughters being still born or dying soon after birth:

Charles, 4th Earl of Lucan.He was married to Cecilia Catherine Gordon-Lennox the daughter of Charles Gordon-Lennox, 5th Duke of Richmond. They had issue. Augusta (7 February 1832 – 3 July 1888), married her cousin Henry Sturt, 1st Baron Alington on 10 September 1853, and had issue.

<mask> (April 29, 1850 – February 2, 1910) was a Canadian politician, Alberta pioneer, saddle-maker, and the first mayor of Calgary, Alberta. Early life
<mask> was born in Paisley, Scotland, on April 29, 1850, and at the age of four, <mask> emigrated to Canada in 1854 and settled in Saint John, New Brunswick where he spent much of his earlier years. At the age of 18 <mask> moved to Chicago, Illinois where he learned the trade of saddle and harness making. <mask> returned to New Brunswick after his shop was destroyed in the 1871 Great Chicago Fire. While in New Brunswick he married his wife Margaret, and together they had their first two children in the province. In total, they had at least three sons and two daughters. Move to Calgary
On May 13, 1883, <mask> arrived in Calgary at the age of 33, just months before the Canadian Pacific Railway would reach the community in August 1883.In Calgary, he started a successful harness shop. As Calgary was at its early stages, his main clientele was the North-West Mounted Police based in Fort Calgary and Blackfoot Indians who had a reserve nearby. He was on good terms with the Blackfoot and had learned to speak their language. In the community, <mask> was involved with the Masonic Lodge and the Orange Order in Canada, literary and history societies, volunteer fire brigade, was one of the founders of Calgary's Presbyterian Church and the first President of the Calgary St. Andrew's Society. Being one of the first permanent businessmen in Calgary, he was an active participant in securing the incorporation of Calgary from the government of the North-West Territories in November 1884.

The elected group consisted of <mask>, Major James Walker (1846-1936), Dr. Andrew Henderson, <mask> King, Thomas Swan, J. D. Moulton and Captain John Stewart (d. 1893).On December 4, 1884, <mask> was elected the first mayor of the Town of Calgary and was re-elected on January 4, 1886, holding the post until October 21, 1886. <mask>, along with councillors Issac Sanford Freeze and Dr. Neville James Lindsay, was removed from office effective October 21, 1886 by a special Territorial Ordinance issued by stipendiary magistrate Jeremiah Travis. January 1886 Calgary Municipal Election
Travis, a teetotaler and supporter of the temperance movement, was appalled by the open traffic of liquor, gambling and prostitution in Calgary despite legal prohibition in the Northwest Territories. <mask> and the town solicitor Henry Bleeker were alleged to be members of a whisky ring, and rumors were rampant that both <mask> and the town's police chief James Ingram was receiving kickbacks from brothels and saloon keepers. Travis' behavior soon reached Ottawa and Judge Thomas Wardlaw Taylor of Winnipeg was sent by the federal government to investigate the situation. Taylor's report "Precis of the case of Jeremiah Travis (late stipendiary magistrate at Calgary) as presented by the report of Mr. Justice Taylor and the correspondence and evidence" which found Travis had exceeded his authority was released much later, in June 1887. Shortly before the 1886 election, G. E. Marsh brought a charge of corruption against <mask> and council over irregularities in the voters' list.Travis found

Taylor notes Council added about 78 names to the voter list without notice of sworn testimony, but the names added appeared to have the qualifications necessary to be entitled to be on the voters list. Taylor found treating the actions of council as a case of personal corruption was erroneous in law and irregular in form. Furthermore Taylor noted the punishment of removal from office, disqualification from re-election for two years and fines "extreme". Taylor also notes when the voters' list was being revised and the "corrupt practices" were occurring, <mask> was visiting his former home in Eastern Canada and not in Calgary. The election occurred as planned in on January 6, 1886 with <mask> and the councillors on the ballot and the "irregular voter list" in use. Travis served the Returning Officer with a judicial order forbidding him from receiving any vote for <mask> which would have the effect of showing <mask>'s opponents having received a majority of the vote.The returning officer ignored Travis' order as there was no authority for it to be issued. The final result of the election showed <mask> with a majority 180 votes and his opponent James Reilly with 18. Of the 78 names irregularly added to the voters' list, only 41 votes were cast. Travis found <mask> in contempt of court and disallowed the result of the election, instead installing James Reilly as mayor and other members as the council.
