Book The House of Stuart and the Cary Family

Download or read book The House of Stuart and the Cary Family written by Hugh R. Watkin and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House of Stuart and the Cary Family: James II and Torre Abbey There are at Torre Abbey portraits in miniature of King James II. and his Queen, Mary of Modena, of which, through the kindness of the owner, Captain Lionel Cary, R. N., we are able to produce a photograph. They have a direct connection with the visit of the second Duke of Ormond to Brixham, on 23rd October, 1715, as noted in D. & C. N. & Q., ix., p.13, par. 10, and are among the many records witnessing to the loyalty of generations of the Cary family. An endorsement reads "James 2 & his Queen." Each bust is in a scarlet robe trimmed with ermine. The Queen is depicted in a blue dress, decolletee, with a simple necklace. The inscription, recently placed on the frame which now mounts the miniatures, unfortunately attributes the gift to Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the Young Pretender, whereas it was his father, the Old Pretender, son of James II., who sent the Duke of Ormond to Torbay in 1715. The size and appearance of the miniatures strongly suggest the decoration of the lid of a snuff-box. The habit of snuff-taking was brought to this country in 1702 and soon became general. Snuff-boxes of most elaborate make were frequently given as souvenirs, as witness the large number in some collections. The silver box, in which tradition says the portraits were enclosed, was not improbably intended for snuff, the strip of ivory being placed inside the lid so that the owner could make known his sympathy to the Stuart cause by the customary interchange of courtesy, without speaking an incriminating word. The loyalty of the Cary family, owners of Cockington for some 279 years [c. 1375-1654] and of Torre Abbey for 258 years [1662-1920], is well illustrated during the reign of the House of Stuart.

Drawing upon new research in psychology, education, and cognitive science, the authors have demystified a complex topic into clear explanations of seven powerful learning principles. Full of great ideas and practical suggestions, all based on solid research evidence, this book is essential reading for instructors at all levels who wish to improve their students' learning." —Barbara Gross Davis, assistant vice chancellor for educational development, University of California, Berkeley, and author, Tools for Teaching "This book is a must-read for every instructor, new or experienced. Although I have been teaching for almost thirty years, as I read this book I found myself resonating with many of its ideas, and I discovered new ways of thinking about teaching." —Eugenia T. Paulus, professor of chemistry, North Hennepin Community College, and 2008 U.S. Community Colleges Professor of the Year from The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education "Thank you Carnegie Mellon for making accessible what has previously been inaccessible to those of us who are not learning scientists. Your focus on the essence of learning combined with concrete examples of the daily challenges of teaching and clear tactical strategies for faculty to consider is a welcome work. I will recommend this book to all my colleagues." —Catherine M. Casserly, senior partner, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching "As you read about each of the seven basic learning principles in this book, you will find advice that is grounded in learning theory, based on research evidence, relevant to college teaching, and easy to understand. The authors have extensive knowledge and experience in applying the science of learning to college teaching, and they graciously share it with you in this organized and readable book." —From the Foreword by Richard E. Mayer, professor of psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara; coauthor, e-Learning and the Science of Instruction; and author, Multimedia Learning
