Dress, law and naked truth : a cultural study of fashion and form
No full textWhy are civil authorities in so-called liberal democracies affronted by public nudity and the Islamic full-face 'veil'? Why is law and civil order so closely associated with robes, gowns, suits, wigs and uniforms? Why is law so concerned with the 'evident' and the need for justice to be 'seen' to be done? Why do we dress and obey dress codes at all? In this, the first ever study devoted to the many deep cultural connections between dress and law, the author addresses these questions and more. His responses flow from the radical thesis that 'law is dress and dress is law'. Engaging with sources from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Shakespeare, Carlyle, Dickens and Damien Hirst, Professor Watt draws a revealing history of dress and civil order and offers challenging conclusions about the nature of truth and the potential for individuals to fit within the forms of civil life

David Innes Watt collection
No full textThe David Innes Watt Family Collection consists of an eighteen carat gold cup: the Tirranna Picnic Race Club Challenge Cup. It has two ornate handles and a lid with a small horse and was first presented in 1895. Mr David Innes Watt won the cup in 1899 with his horse Loch Leven, in 1904 with Chiefswood and in 1906 with Pleasure. With his third win, he earned the right to retain the gold cup in perpetuity. Crafted by Hardy Brothers Jewellers, the Tirranna Picnic Race Club Challenge Cup was awarded for the main race. In 1895 the gold cup was valued at £150.From the early days of colonisation, picnic races have been a feature of rural life. Country people travelled long distances to these annual gatherings, some of which continued for several days and were accompanied by wild celebrations. The Tirrana Picnic Races were established in 1855 at Tirranna, a property outside Goulburn, New South Wales. In 1872 the railway from Sydney reached Goulburn, making the Tirranna Picnic Races more accessible to Sydney racing enthusiasts and by 1875, Tirranna was thought to be one of the best race tracks in the Colony. The Governor attended with due pomp and ceremony, along with other socialites and people of influence and the meeting was widely reported in the Sydney press, as were the fashionable gowns worn at the associated balls and dances
[Letter] 1821 January 27, London [to] Thomas Allan, Edinburgh / James Watt.
No full textThe letter bears the impression of a seal and is marked with a postage stamp.Watt writes to Allan to express that he is glad of his involvement with the London & Edinboro Steam Packets. Watt mentions Mr. McBrair and Mr. David Milne, and recommends Mr. Thomas Hamilton as an agent at New Haven since he has a preponderance of the Scottish business. Watt also calculates the expenses of a voyage for a ship between Edinboro and Glasgow, including the price of the engineer and an estimate of coal costs. James Watt (1736-1819) and Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) established a steam engine partnership in 1775. By 1796 the partners had opened the Soho Foundry. Their respective sons (James Watt, junior, 1769-1848, and Matthew Robinson Boulton, 1770-1842) joined the business and eventually took over. Their company was called Boulton, Watt & Sons from 1795-1800; after the formal retirement of Watt, it is referred to as Boulton, Watt & Co. They manufactured steam engines domestically as well as overseas. The cutting-edge techniques were subject to industrial espionage, and much of James Watt, junior\u27s time was occupied in patent protection and in catching pirates who sought to copy his father\u27s innovations. Archives of their materials, drawings, and correspondences are available at the Birmingham Central Library which houses the Boulton and Watt Archive and the Matthew Boulton papers (http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/GenerateContent?CONTENT_ITEM_ID=1604&CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE=0&MENU_ID=10468)
