A common and popular expression among the Glynnese, and apparently a sporting or military metaphor, as of a gun flashing in the pan: and so used to signify any sham appearance of splendour, power, or the like, when the substance is wanting. Lady Glynne applied it to her daughter's marriage with Lord Lyttelton, alluding to the combination, in that nobleman's circumstances, of respectable rank with comparative poverty: 'quite a false flash.' Obviously another military metaphor, derived from musketry-practice, or perhaps from the pleasant recollection of a review. But it is applied by the professors with extraordinary latitude, so that it almost seems that any action in life may be called firing-away. The critics however are unanimous in holding, that its most proper sense is that of writing a letter. So Sir S. Glynne will say 'I shall sit down and fire-away a cocked-hat note' (see below) at Also of making a speech: 'I shall go and hear William fire-away to night.' (Mrs. Gladstone.) The tenth-rate scholar above-mentioned, the Rev. Mr. Lyttelton, takes special delight in the investigation of this idiom. o Jsfjoto (c)ne'$f fthtg. A metaphor of a different, namely a matrimonial kind. The ground-idea of it is that of a rather vulgar and silly bride, (compare Mrs. Major Waddell in The Inheritance) who in order to show to the general observer her promotion to the order of married ladies, loses no opportunity of obtruding her wedding-ring in a prominently visible position. Hence with admirable audacity it is applied to any act of self satisfaction or vanity, on the part of any one of any age or sex. Examples: Lady Lyttelton with great complacency to her husband, ' Who shows his ring about his eldest son's Latin?' Mrs. Gladstone in a letter from London: 'Saw j s.

Download or read book Contribution Towards a Glossary of the Glynne Language written by George William Lyttelton Baron Lyttelton and published by Cambridge Scholars Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Glynnese Glossary is that rare beast, a dictionary of a family language. Many families develop favourite words and phrases, giving them unique meanings based on passing events or encounters. For the most part these fade into oblivion with the death of their users. The families of William Gladstone, several times Prime Minister of England, and of his wife Catherine Glynne, however, developed an unusually rich and persistent language; and this was recorded in the Glossary in 1851 by Gladstone's brother-in-law George, Lord Lyttelton, who married Catherine Glynne's sister Mary. Glynnese can be traced through generations of family memoirs, and the families' lofty social status led to its being taken up by outsiders. Lyttelton was a talented student of language, and in the Glossary he draws on the contemporary popularity of philology to produce a spoof dictionary which parodies the tradition of dialect glossaries, while accurately recording the eccentric vagaries of Glynnese. George William, 4th Baron Lyttelton (1817-76) was educated at Eton and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was Senior Classic (top of the first class in Classics) in 1838. In 1839 he and William Gladstone married the sisters Mary and Catherine Glynne in a double wedding conducted by the brides' father. He had eight sons and four daughters, and a further three daughters by his second wife. Lyttelton and Gladstone were both keen composers in Latin and Greek, and published a book of translations from English literature together in 1861. Lyttelton devoted much of his life to public service, especially in education, sitting on two Royal Commissions in the 1860s. He was a manic depressive, and committed suicide in 1876.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions Towards a Glossary of the Glynne Language: To Which Is Added the Doubting Dowanger, or a Tale of a House; An Epic Poem in One Canto These phrases are put together in illustration of the great difficulty of discriminating accurately between some of the expressions of this language. They do not mean quite the same, yet nearly so. They both mean sitting in expectation of some probable or anticipated event. Perhaps it may be said briefly, that to sit tight is to be in eager expectation, to sit crosslegged to be in patient expectation. The former when the event is much-desired, and imminent: but may fail. The latter when it is pretty sure to happen, but may be delayed for some time.

Download or read book The Culture of Epistolarity written by Gary Schneider and published by University of Delaware Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an extensive investigation of letters and letter writing across two centuries, focusing on the sociocultural function and meaning of epistolary writing - letters that were circulated, were intended to circulate, or were perceived to circulate within the culture of epistolarity in early modern England. The study examines how the letter functioned in a variety of social contexts, yet also assesses what the letter meant as idea to early modern letter writers, investigating letters in both manuscript and print contexts. It begins with an overview of the culture of epistolarity, examines the material components of letter exchange, investigates how emotion was persuasively textualized in the letter, considers the transmission of news and intelligence, and examines the publication of letters as propaganda and as collections of moral-didactic, personal, and state letters. Gary Schneider is an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at the University of Texas-Pan American.
