Sinopsis
Excerpt from Remarks and Collections of Thomas Hearne
Hearne was at this time accumulating materials for his edition of Livy, which was published at Oxford in 1708. With regard to the state of public affairs when the Diary opens, the reader need only be reminded that the great victory of Blenheim in the previous year had consolidated the Whig party; that a General Election took place in the spring of 1705, and that, when the new Parliament met, the Whigs found them selves in possession of a working majority.

Excerpt from Remarks and Collections of Thomas Hearne, Vol. 1: Suum Ruique, July 4, 1705 March 19, 1707
It is built a tardy act of reparation to a scholar who was meglected during life, and has been imperfectly appreciated in the century and a half which has elasped since his death, for an Oxford Historical Society to select as one of its earliest issues a portion of the writings of Thomas Hearne. We should have to go very far back, and to come down to our own day, in order to find many names worthy to be placed beside his on the roll of Oxford alumni who have done distinguished service to the cause of historical research. To supersede those numerous editions of the sources of English history which Hearne gave to the world in a too brief lifetime of fifty-seven years, the resources of the Treasury, with a large staff of learned specialists at its disposal, have been employed for a generation past. Hearne's Remarks and CoUeciionSy of which the first instalment is now before us, contain fragments of the materials of which he afterwards made such excellent use, beside memoranda on any subject that attracted his attention at the moment It may be readily conceded that the words of Bentley - surely as magnificent a eulogy as was ever pronounced on one scholar by another - are not in their full sense applicable to our antiquary: -The very dust of his writings is gold. But we certainly claim that with the dust very much gold is mingled That delightful book Reliquiae Hearnianae, originally printed in a small edition by Dr. Philip Bliss (Oxford, a vols. 8 vo., 1857), and afterwards published with additional matter in 3 vols. (London, 1869), hardly professes to contain more than a series of illustrative selections. It may safely be said that until these Diaries of Hearne's (to give them a title which he himself rejected), together with his extensive Correspondence, are rendered accessible to students in a more complete form than hitherto, the history of the Nonjurors, and that of the Universities in the earlier portion of the eighteenth century, cannot be finally written. And if it be objected that the history of the Nonjurors is of purely antiquarian interest, we need only point to the numerous questions concerning the relations between the ecclesiastical and civil power which agitate mens minds at the present day, and which Sancroft and Kettle well, Dodwell and Hickes, Collier and Ken, had thought out and illustrated with various learning, nearly two centuries ago.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of fragments of the author's annotations and reflections on people and events that he observed or experienced between 1705 and 1707. The author was an Oxford University employee, and as such, his writings provide a unique glimpse into the Oxford academic world and the early 18th century British social and political landscape. The author often mentions well-known figures of the day, including scholars, politicians, and religious figures, and his observations on their actions and ideas provide an excellent resource for historians interested in this period. The author's insights are often cutting and witty, and reveal much about the social and political divisions within Britain at the time, which were largely shaped by debates over the Act of Toleration and the Act of Union. This book will be of great interest to scholars of 18th century British history, politics, and religion. It also contains a wealth of information for scholars interested in the history of the University of Oxford, and will be of interest to anyone seeking to understand the life and work of Thomas Hearne. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331937012_0
