William Grenfell, 1st Baron Desborough

William Henry Grenfell, 1st Baron Desborough, (30 October 1855 – 9 January 1945) was a British athlete, sportsman, public servant and politician. He sat in the House of Commons first for the Liberal Party and then for the Conservatives between 1880 and 1905 when he was raised to the peerage. He also was President of the Thames Conservancy Board for thirty-two years.

Background and education
Grenfell was the son of Charles William Grenfell, former MP for Sandwich, and Georgiana Lascelles, daughter of William Saunders Lascelles, MP. He was the nephew of Henry Riversdale Grenfell, the banker and politician, and the first cousin of Edward Grenfell, 1st Baron St Just. Grenfell was educated at Harrow School and Balliol College, Oxford, graduating from the latter in 1879 and receiving the honorary degree of DCL from the university in 1938.

Athletic career
At Harrow, Grenfell was a redoubtable bowler in the school's cricket eleven (1873–74), and whilst at Oxford, he rowed in the Boat Race, in the only dead-heat race against Cambridge in 1877, and in the following year, when he was president of the Oxford University Boat Club, he was in the Oxford crew which won by ten lengths. He was also president of the Oxford University Athletic Club, and it is believed that no other man has been president of both clubs. He was also the first-ever captain of Maidenhead Rowing Club. Furthermore, he combined these exertions with the mastership of the university drag hounds.

Grenfell enjoyed mountaineering, swimming, fishing and big-game hunting. He swam the Niagara rapids twice, rowed across the English Channel, sculled the London-Oxford stretch of the Thames in twenty-two consecutive hours, and when he was a member of the House of Commons he rowed for the Grand Challenge Cup. He climbed the Matterhorn by three different routes, and, in one long vacation, within just eight days, he climbed the little Matterhorn, the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, and the Weisshorn. He loved deer stalking in Scotland, big-game hunting in the Rockies, India, and Africa, and fishing in many countries, being a successful tarpon fisherman off the coast of Florida, where he caught over a hundred tarpon. He was an amateur punting champion of the Upper Thames, winning the Thames punting championship for three consecutive years (1888–90) and then retired with an unbeaten record. He won the silver medal for fencing in the event of team épée at the 1906 Intercalated Games, having been the first person to carry the flag for Great Britain in the parade of nations. In 1908, he was president of the Olympic games held in London.

He was President of the Amateur Fencing Association from its foundation until 1926, Marylebone Cricket Club based at Lords, the Lawn Tennis Association based at Wimbledon, and was president and chairman of the Bath Club from its foundation in 1894 until 1942, and chairman of the Pilgrims of Great Britain from 1919 to 1929. He was also a founder member of Maidenhead Golf Club in Berkshire, formed in 1896. It was the friendship of one local founder member, Dr G E Moore, with Grenfell that really got the project off the ground. Grenfell was the Mayor of Maidenhead in 1895 and 1896 and an extremely wealthy and competent businessman who owned more than 10,000 acres of land around the town. Grenfell offered to lease some of his acreage near Maidenhead Railway Station, which was to become Maidenhead Golf Club and remains so well into its second century. Grenfell became one of the earliest 63 members of the club, and its first president and agreed to present “a challenge cup for competition”. This was the Grenfell Cup which is still in yearly competition. A registered golf tournament survives in his name since 1912 with its top prize being The Desborough Cup.

Political career
In the 1880 general election, Grenfell was elected the Member of Parliament for Salisbury; he lost the seat in a ministerial by-election in 1882 but returned in 1885–1886. He was elected MP for Hereford in 1892. Politically he was a Gladstonian (loyal) Liberal who resigned in 1893 rather than support Gladstone's Second Irish Home Rule Bill. He returned to the House of Commons in 1900 as a Conservative. On 30 December 1905, Grenfell was raised to the peerage as Baron Desborough, of Taplow in the County of Buckingham, a title that combined the defunct hundred of Desborough and the riverside village in which he lived in Buckinghamshire.

Other public appointments
During a long career dedicated to public service, he was President of the Thames Conservancy Board from 1904 to 1937, the London Chamber of Commerce, and the Royal Agricultural Society, amongst many others. He was High Steward of Maidenhead, the nearest town to his home at Taplow Court, Taplow in Buckinghamshire. His good deeds for Maidenhead included the donation of an old chalk pit, converted for use as a park, to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria: this park, Grenfell Park, contains many unusual trees, the seeds of which were collected by Lord Desborough as he travelled the world. He was also an active Freemason. He became a steward of Henley Royal Regatta. He was a J.P. for Buckinghamshire and a Deputy Lieutenant for Tower Hamlets. He was appointed High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire in 1889. On 3 Jun 1915, he was appointed a deputy lieutenant of Buckinghamshire. In 1919, he presided over the Desborough Committee which investigated the conditions that led to the crippling London Police Strike of August 1918. Its recommendations resulted in the enactment of the influential Police Act of 1919 which changed the working conditions of the police in London, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and elsewhere.

Desborough was appointed CVO in 1907 and advanced to KCVO in 1908 and GCVO (Knight Grand Cross) in 1925; and in 1928 he was admitted as a Knight Companion of the Order of the Garter. He was a Major of the 1st Battalion, Buckinghamshire Rifle Volunteers from February 1900. In November 1914, he was appointed President of the Central Association of Volunteer Training Corps, a voluntary home defence militia, until it was disbanded in 1920. From 1924 to 1929 he was Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard. Between 1919 and 1929 he was chairman of the Pilgrims of Great Britain. He planned and oversaw the construction of the Desborough Cut, a navigation channel between nearby stretches of the Thames at Walton-on-Thames and Weybridge, which was opened in 1935. The large island created thereby was named Desborough Island.

In 1933 he was one of eleven people involved in the appeal that led to the foundation of the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), an organisation for the study of birds in the British Isles.

Desborough had the unfortunate distinction of having an obituary prematurely published on 2 December 1920 by The Times, which confused his name with that of Lord Bessborough, who really had died – Desborough died 25 years later at the age of 89.

Family
Lord Desborough married Ethel Fane, daughter of the Hon. Julian Fane and granddaughter of John Fane, 11th Earl of Westmorland, in 1887. They had three sons and two daughters. His eldest son was the poet Julian Grenfell, who was killed in action in 1915. His second son Gerald William Grenfell was also killed, about two months after his elder brother. His third son, Ivo George Grenfell, died in 1926 as the result of a car accident. His daughters were Alexandra Imogen Clair Grenfell (Imogen) (1905–1969) and Monica Margaret Grenfell (1893–1973). As all his sons predeceased him, the barony became extinct. The family lived at Taplow Court, where he and his wife hosted gatherings of the elite and aristocratic group, the 'Souls', adjacent on the riverside to Cliveden, which is a slightly grander country estate, but which saw its social heyday immediately after, from 1920 to 1965. Lady Desborough was a well-known celebrity in her day. Margot Asquith, whose husband would later be politically aligned against Desborough, said of her, "She tells enough white lies to ice a wedding cake".

In 1892, he built a stické tennis court at the house.

He was the owner of Whiteslea Lodge on the Hickling Estate in Norfolk, close to the Hickling Broad. This was the former shooting lodge of Whiteslea Estate and was extensively improved and added to by Lord Desborough in the 1930s. Its interior featured enormous friezes by bird artist Roland Green.

Desborough College in Maidenhead is named after Lord Desborough.

Sylvester Primer

Sylvester Primer (1842–1912) was an American linguist and philologist known for his pioneering work in 1887 on the dialect of the European-American residents of Charleston, South Carolina. He published language studies in both English and German, and an 1880 work in German was reprinted in 2010. He also published several annotated scholarly editions of important German-language and Spanish-language dramas from the 18th and 19th centuries. He taught for more than 20 years at the University of Texas at Austin, where he also headed the Romance language department as well as a new German-language department.

Primer grew up in western New York state and served with its units in the American Civil War. After the war, he completed preparatory studies, followed by his undergraduate degree at Harvard University. He did graduate studies in linguistics in Germany, where he received his PhD at the University of Strasbourg. He taught first at Brown University, then a decade at the College of Charleston, and briefly at Colorado College before joining the faculty in Texas.

Early life and education
Born in Geneva, Wisconsin on December 14, 1842, as the son of Archibald and Eleanor (Jacoby) Primer, Sylvester moved in 1850 as a child with his family to New York. They settled in the western part of the state in Genesee County. He attended local schools as a child.

His higher education was interrupted by his serving in the American Civil War. Afterward Primer completed studies at Leroy (N.Y.) Academy until 1868 and the Phillips Exeter Academy until 1871. He went to college, studying languages at Harvard University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in 1874 and was Phi Beta Kappa. He went to Europe to study with scholars there and worked at Leipzig, Göttingen, and Strasbourg, where he received his PhD in 1880.

Civil War
Primer served in the American Civil War, first in Company E of the 105th Regiment New York Volunteer Infantry from Genesee County, New York. He was with them when wounded during the Battle of Antietam. After his recovery, Primer later enlisted in and served with the Fifteenth New York Cavalry.

Academic career as linguist
After completing his graduate work, Primer returned to the United States, teaching first at Brown University (1880–1881). He taught at the College of Charleston in South Carolina from 1881 to 1890. During this period, he first directed scholarly attention toward the unique dialect of the city of Charleston in a paper he delivered at the Modern Language Association of America in 1887. This pioneering work, "Charleston Provincialisms" (1887), is one of the first attempts by a scholar to describe the speech of an American community. It was published as part of the Transactions of the Modern Language Association, vol. III, 1888, p. 84–99; it was also published in Europe in Phonetische Studien, vol. i, 1888, p. 227; and in the American Journal of Philology, IX (1888), p. 198–213.

Primer also wrote "The Huguenot Element in Charleston's Provincialisms;" it was published in Phonetische Studien, vol. iii, 1891, p. 139.

In 1891, Primer joined the faculty of the University of Texas at Austin, where he served for more than 20 years. He first served as adjunct professor of Teutonic languages, eventually becoming an associate professor. He became chairman of the School of Romance language and in time, chair of a separate German department established at the university. There had been strong German immigration to the state during the mid- and late 19th century. Primer died at his home in Austin on August 13, 1912, survived by his wife and son.

In Texas, his wife Lula Primer worked at the university after his death, retiring in 1941. She wrote her memoirs in the 1940s, which reflected her life in Texas. She had long been active in the University Methodist Church, the University Ladies Club, the Austin's Women's Club, and the Travis County Council of Women.

Works

 * "The Pronunciation of Fredericksburg, Va.", in Pub. Modern Language Association, vol. v, 1889, p. 185.
 * "The Pronunciation Near Fredericksburg, Va.", in the Proceedings of the American Philological Association (1889), p. xxv.
 * "Dialectical Studies in West Virginia", Colorado College Studies (1891)

He also published in German:
 * Die Consonatische Deklination in den germanischen Sprachen (1880/2010, reissued in paperback, Kessinger Publishing)

Primer published annotated scholarly editions of several European plays, including
 * Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's Minna von Barnhelm (1767), (1889) edited and notes by Primer
 * Gotthold E. Lessing, Nathan der Weise, (1894), ed. Sylvester Primer
 * Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Egmont (original 1788), (1898) annotated edition and introduction in English by Primer
 * Guzman el Bueno. Drama en Cuatro Actos, Don Antonio Gil y Zárate, 1901/1916 revised edition by Ginn and Company, annotated and edited by Primer, with introduction in English, Internet Archive edition available online

Primer's seminal works on Charleston's unique and vanishing dialect continue to be among the most important scholarly contributions to the subject today.

Legacy
Primer's personal and family papers are held by the University of Texas at Austin.

Talk:William McGonagall

List of Poems
The list of poems at the end of this article rather overwhelms it, in my view. He wrote about 250 poems that we know about, which were anthologised in various ways after his death. There definitely needs to be something in the article that lists the major books of mcgonagall poems, but listing every single poem (some of them more than once) seems like overkill. We don't do this for other poets, why for McGonagall? Chuntuk (talk) 09:39, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Burial in Greyfriars Kirkyard?
We went to Greyfriars Kirkyard today, and when we enquired where William McGonagall was buried and were told that he was *not* buried in the Kirkyard. That the last burial in the Kirkyard was in the 1870's, that there were *no* paupers graves in the Kirkyard, and that in any case he was not of that parish (and even a couple more reasons why it is a myth). They also said that it is true that there is a plaque in the Kirkyard that states this as if it were fact, but the Kirk did not have any control over the content of the plaque, which clearly needs a "citation needed" on there! They suggested that he could have been buried in Dundee, but that they also claim that is not the case, or *possibly* he was buried in Ireland. Karora 19:34, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
 * He definitely died in Edinburgh, at 5 South college Street to be precise, as shown here: Death of McGonagall the Poet. This is the first time I've heard that he wasn't buried at Greyfriars, but if we can find a good source saying that burials stopped there in the 1870's that would be pretty conclusive! Chuntuk (talk) 12:30, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Edit reverted
Hi Jmc, why did you revert my edit about the books co-authored by Spike Milligan and Jack Hobbs? They are listed on the page for Spike Milligan. Is it because I didn't give citations? Sorry, but I don't know how to do that. The Spike Milligan page doesn't have citations for them either. Let's discuss. PhilUK (talk) 16:17, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @PhilUK, if you check back, you'll see that what I reverted was your deletion of the referenced mention of William McGonagall – the Truth at Last. If you wish to add further books, you'll need to similarly add references for each. See WP:CITE. -- Jmc (talk) 18:31, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Topaz
Was "Topaz" part of his birth name or does this title stem entirely from the Burmese Knighthood hoax? If it's the latter then it should probably be noted as a separate pen name in the lead. Orchastrattor (talk) 21:39, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

 * It's the latter, and therefore inappropriate to include it in his name at the beginning of the lede. I propose to delete it there. @Orchastrattor Thaniks for raising the issue. -- Jmc (talk) 21:55, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I will just remove it then, "Sir W.T.M." is a fun name but the article body doesn't really indicate it to have been widespread enough to have equal billing with his birth name. Orchastrattor (talk) 20:18, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

what kind of bass?

It looks like a Vox Phantom IV...the same kind played by Michael Jay in The Fuzztones and Phil "Fang" Volk in Paul Revere and The Raiders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.89.188.17 (talk) 19:33, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

uhh...
The article previously said that she played both bass and piano for Rock City Morgue, but I took that out, since her profile on their official site lists her as merely bassist. If someone knows otherwise, by all means change it back. Blue Dream 17:43, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

This is also from their official site and lists her as playing piano as well as bass.

Illywhacker

Illywhacker is a novel by Australian writer Peter Carey. It was published in 1985 to commercial and critical success, winning a number of awards and being short-listed for the Booker Prize.

Considered metafiction or magical realism, the novel is narrated by liar, trickster, and confidence man Herbert Badgery, the "illywhacker" of the title, and tells the story of his picaresque life in Australia between 1919 and the 1980s.

Plot summary
The novel is related in broad chronological order by the main protagonist, Herbert Badgery, but with frequent digressions that relate the circumstances and life history of Badgery himself, and of many of the characters he meets.

The story begins in 1919 when the thirty-three-year-old Herbert lands his aeroplane in a field close to the wealthy former bullock-herder Jack McGrath. Herbert befriends Jack and persuades him to invest in the construction of an aeroplane factory. Herbert also becomes the lover of Jack's teenage daughter Phoebe, who had previously been involved in a lesbian relationship with a teacher, Annette Davidson. Jack commits suicide following a violent argument between Herbert and some other potential investors. Herbert marries Phoebe and they bear two children, Charles and Sonia. After learning to fly Herbert's aeroplane, Phoebe steals it, abandoning her husband and children to live with Annette. Herbert briefly becomes the lover of Jack's widow, Molly, but goes out on the road to scrape a living, often as a confidence trickster, accompanied by his two children. He meets Leah Goldstein, a former medical student turned dancer who is married to the Communist agitator Izzie Kaletsky. She and Herbert become lovers and develop a variety act, but Leah returns to care for Izzie after he has both legs amputated following an accident.

Sonia dies, and Herbert is subsequently jailed for an assault on a Chinese man who had been his childhood mentor, Goon Tse Ying, whose finger is torn off. In prison, Herbert is presented with the preserved finger in a jar, and finds that looking into the jar presents the viewer with curious visions. Herbert, who for much of his life had been illiterate, begins studying, and eventually obtains a degree in Australian history.

Charles becomes a dealer in animals, and meets Emma Underhill when required to rescue her from the clutches of a frightened goanna. Charles falls in love with and weds Emma, despite warnings from her father about her fragile mental state. Charles builds a successful business selling animals and moves into larger and larger premises. Upon the outbreak of World War Two, he considers enlisting, but is rejected because of his hearing. Traumatised by his decision, Emma retreats into the goanna's cage and continues living in an adapted cage for the rest of her life. Leah returns to help Charles, but also begins living in a cage, as part of Charles' extended household.

After his release from prison, Herbert goes to live with Charles at the pet emporium. He attempts to rebuild part of Charles' shop, but the attempt ends in disaster. Herbert befriends Charles' youngest son, Hissao, who dreams of becoming an architect. Herbert suffers a stroke, and Charles is obliged to consider how his shop can continue to maintain the support of his American backers, who wish to export animals illegally against Charles' wishes. Emma comes into possession of the jar of Herbert's that contains Ying's finger and claims that she sees a reptile in the bottle that she also claims is Hissao's half-brother. Distraught by the claim, Charles shoots Emma's goanna, and turns the gun on himself.

Hissao claims he will not give up architecture in order to preserve the family business by becoming an animal smuggler, but does so, and becomes wealthy and much-travelled. He accidentally kills a rare bird he is smuggling, whereupon he sells much of his share in the business to Japanese investors and commences rebuilding the emporium to his own design, according to which it becomes a bizarre and controversial museum of the Australian nation.

Reception
Illywhacker was well received by critics and won a number of awards.

Reviewing the book in The New York Times, Howard Jacobson called it "a big, garrulous, funny novel, touching, farcical and passionately bad-tempered... Not unlike spending a week in the company of the best kind of Australian."
