William George Shrubsole [W G Shrubsole] (1856-1889), British artist [The Menai Society of Science and Literature, Wales]:
William George Shrubsole Victorian artist. Autograph Manuscript of lecture titled 'The Ideal in Art' 'delivered at Bangor N. Wales in Dec. 1886 in connection with the Menai Society of Science and Literature'. With signed drawing of W. E. Bacon.
'Bangor Wales Decr. 1886.'. The lecture which is unpublished is an interesting personal statement by a neglected Victorian painter who died tragically young. A rather impressive example of his work in Turneresque style titled 'The Heart of the Hills' is in the Maidstone Museum. The lecture is 30pp. 8vo in a ruled notebook with embossed black wraps. In good condition on aged paper with some wear and discoloration. Ownership inscription of 'W. G. Shrubsole Bangor Decr. 1886' inside the front wrap. The first page is headed 'The Ideal in Art. by W. G. Shrubsole Dec. 1886.' Following the lecture is a later note by Shrubsole stating 'This lecture was delivered at Bangor N. Wales in Dec. 1886 in connection with the Menai Society of Science and Literature. W.G.S.' The text carries a number of deletions and emendations. Shrubsole begins by asking his audience to make allowance for the 'difficulties besetting this treatment' of his 'vast subject' 'owing to the complexity of the various considerations involved which renders brevity the greatest difficulty to be encountered in such an undertaking'. His aim has been 'to direct attention and to induce reflection rather than to be didactic but if I have failed to imbue this discourse with that character - if I appear somewhat dogmatic here and there my apology must be that my dogmatism is the result of earnest conviction that the subject of Art is one on which I feel deeply - one which I have more practical knowledge of than of any other and one to which I have from childhood given the most earnest and unremitting attention endeavoured to grasp the principles of and the relation of those principles to the other emerging streams of knowledge and thought which commingling form and feed the fount of higher life. The vital importance of Art as a tributary to the higher-life is yet to be recognized in this country; the few spasmodic attempts made hitherto have failed to pierce the adamantine husk of ignorance and indifference which enshrouds the subject in the minds of those towards whom we turn in vain'. Loosely inserted in the notebook is a pen drawing on 17.5 x 12.5cm paper titled 'W. E. Bacon Sept 10th. 1880' and signed 'W. G. Shrubsole'. It shows the head and shoulders of a bearded man smoking a pipe in artist's broad-brimmed hat buttoned coat and muffler. On the reverse is a pencil sketch of a street of Tudor buildings. Another loosely-inserted item is a 'Synopsis' 1p. 12mo in Shrubsole's hand under the headings 'Colour faculty comparatively modern' and 'Colour as a physical Science'. A third loosely inserted item is a cutting of a magazine article by Shrubsole under his initials 'W. G. S.' titled 'KITTLES' and concerning his pet cat. 'Bangor [Wales] Decr. 1886.' paperback

William Prynne; John Bastwick; Henry Burton; England and Wales Parliament House of Commons
A New Discovery of the Prelates Tyranny in Their Late Prosecutions of Mr. William Pryn an Eminent Lawyer Dr. Iohn Bastwick a Learned Physitian and Mr. Henry Burton a Reverent Divine : Wherein the Separate and Joynt Proceedings Against Them
Printed at London : For M.S 1641-01-01. Hardcover. Very Good. Octavo. 2 48 226 pages. Bound in early 20th century 3/4 leather. Gilt letterig on spine. 5 raised bands. Cloth boards. Page ends washed red. Good binding and cover. Wear to extremities. Owners leather bookplate on inside board of Laurence Roberts Carton. Lacks the 4 portraits. Errata leaf present at end of text but well-worn showing only a quarter of original text. Clean unmarked pages with tanning. R13582. Wing P4018. <br><br> Like many Puritans abhorring decadent celebrations Prynne was strongly opposed to religious feast days including Christmas and revelry such as stage plays He included in his Histriomastix 1632 a denunciation of actresses which was widely felt to be an attack of Queen Henrietta Maria. This book led to the most famous incidents in his life but the timing was accidental. <br> About 1624 Prynne had begun a book against stage-plays; on 31 May 1630 he obtained a license to print it and about November 1632 it was published. Histriomastix is a volume of over a thousand pages showing that plays were unlawful incentives to immorality and condemned by the scriptures Church Fathers modern Christian writers and pagan philosophers. By chance the queen and her ladies in January 1633 took part in the performance of Walter Montagu's The Shepherd's Paradise: this was an innovation at court. A passage reflecting on the character of female actors in general was construed as an aspersion on the queen; passages which attacked the spectators of plays and magistrates who failed to suppress them pointed by references to Nero and other tyrants were taken as attacks on the king Charles I. <br>William Noy as attorney-general instituted proceedings against Prynne in the Star-chamber. After a year's imprisonment in the Tower of London he was sentenced 17 February 1634 to be imprisoned during life to be fined to be expelled from Lincoln's Inn to be deprived of his degree by the university of Oxford and to lose both his ears in the pillory. Prynne was pilloried on 7 May and 10 May. On 11 June he addressed to Archbishop Laud whom he regarded as his chief persecutor a letter charging him with illegality and injustice. Laud handed the letter to the attorney-general as material for a new prosecution but when Prynne was required to own his handwriting he contrived to get hold of the letter and tore it to pieces. In the Tower Prynne wrote and published anonymous tracts against episcopacy and against the Book of Sports. In one he introduced Noy's recent death as a warning. Elsewhere he attacked prelates in general 1635. An anonymous attack on Matthew Wren bishop of Norwich brought him again before the Star-chamber. <br> On 14 June 1637 Prynne was sentenced once more to a fine to imprisonment for life and to lose the rest of his ears. At the proposal of Chief-justice John Finch he was also to be branded on the cheeks with the letters S. L. signifying 'seditious libeller'. Prynne was pilloried on 30 June in company with Henry Burton and John Bastwick and Prynne was handled barbarously by the executioner. He made as he returned to his prison a couple of Latin verses explaining the 'S. L.' with which he was branded to mean 'stigmata laudis' sign of praise. He was released by the Long Parliament in 1640. The House of Commons declared the two sentences against him illegal restored him to his degree and to his membership of Lincoln's Inn and voted him pecuniary reparation as late as October 1648 he was still trying to collect it. He supported the Parliamentary cause in the English Civil War particularly in the press and in many pamphlets while still pursuing the bishops. Printed at London : For M.S hardcover
