Round dancing,
No full textGilbert, a well-known dancing master, notes that his book will deal only with round dances, and for other dances or rules of etiquette, the reader should turn elsewhere. After a brief discussion of the positions of the feet, the author discusses, in some length, the waltz position. The manual gives the directions for a large number of waltz, polka, galop, redowa, and mazurka variations--many of which are not described in other contemporary dance literature
The teaching of non-professional artists in eighteenth century England.
No full textPhDThe introductory chapter explains terms used throughout
this thesis and why this period was chosen for study. The
history of the introduction of drawing to the curriculum of
Christ's Hospital, the Lens family who were the drawing
masters there, and their drawing manuals and teaching
methods are the subject of the second chapter. The third
deals with the teaching of drawing at private academies,
particularly Thomas Weston's in Greenwich, and with his and
the Bickham family's activities as drawing masters to the
pupils of this academy and the children at the Royal Naval
Hospital. William and Sawrey Gilpin at Cheam Preparatory
School are examined through the surviving correspondence of
the Grimstons of Kilnwick in chapter four.
Alexander Cozens's activities as a drawing master
occupy the remaining half of the thesis. Chapter five
explains how he himself learnt to draw and describes his
earliest known employment as a drawing master at Christ's
Hospital from 1749 to 1754. Chapter six traces his
activities through the 1750's as a private drawing master
and as the author of publications intended to assist the
artistic invention of amateurs and professionals alike. It
also examines his relationship with his son, John Robert
Cozens, with Sir George Beaumont at Eton College, and with
Henry Stebbing who studied Cozeris's 'blot' method. Chapter
seven examines the activities of three of Cozens's private
pupils through their surviving work and family papers in
order to ascertain the element of original artistic
creativity in the landscapes produced under his instruction.
The concluding chapter considers why art education
gained considerable importance in the education of young
gentlemen and gentlewomen during this period, and whether
the drawing masters' methods of teaching them changed.
Finally, the role of drawing masters as creators and
disseminators of artistic theories and their contribution to
the development of English landscape watercolour painting
are discussed.Central research Fund of the University of Londo

Direct evidence of extensive diversity of HIV-1 in Kinshasa by 1960
No full textHuman immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) sequences that pre-date the recognition of AIDS are critical to defining the time of origin and the timescale of virus evolution. A viral sequence from 1959 (ZR59) is the oldest known HIV-1 infection. Other historically documented sequences, important calibration points to convert evolutionary distance into time, are lacking, however; ZR59 is the only one sampled before 1976. Here we report the amplification and characterization of viral sequences from a Bouin's-fixed paraffin-embedded lymph node biopsy specimen obtained in 1960 from an adult female in Léopoldville, Belgian Congo (now Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)), and we use them to conduct the first comparative evolutionary genetic study of early pre-AIDS epidemic HIV-1 group M viruses. Phylogenetic analyses position this viral sequence (DRC60) closest to the ancestral node of subtype A (excluding A2). Relaxed molecular clock analyses incorporating DRC60 and ZR59 date the most recent common ancestor of the M group to near the beginning of the twentieth century. The sizeable genetic distance between DRC60 and ZR59 directly demonstrates that diversification of HIV-1 in west-central Africa occurred long before the recognized AIDS pandemic. The recovery of viral gene sequences from decades-old paraffin-embedded tissues opens the door to a detailed palaeovirological investigation of the evolutionary history of HIV-1 that is not accessible by other method

Traditional Christian Thought in Gilbert Keith Chesterton
No full textThis thesis looks at the Christian thought and themes found in works by Gilbert Keith Chesterton.The author discusses Chesterton’s verbal trading of blows with famous contemporaries such as H.G Wells and more often, Bernard Shaw.Chesterton made arguments regarding the first World War, domestic difficulties, patriotism, imperialism, evolution to name a few of the matters the author describes Chesterton’s viewpoints on, illustrated through examining arguments made between Chesterton and Bernard Shaw through contemporary journalism. The author then focuses on commentary Chesterton made on contemporary thinkers who condemned orthodoxy and argues that those contradictory findings made my Chersterdon’s own observations led him to argue in favor of Christianity and the author argues led Chesterdon to become an important and influential writer and propagandist for Traditional Christian thought.
