The objects of the society were: #.

To convince them, moreover, of the immeasurable superiority of agriculture and innocent commerce, even in point of profit, over the Slave Trade which excludes them." #.

Spy, Vanity Fair, 1905 In 1901 Stanford returned once again to opera, with Much Ado About Nothing, to a libretto by Julian Sturgis that was exceptionally faithful to Shakespeare's original."Royal Opera", The Times, 31 May 1901, p. 4 The Manchester Guardian commented, "Not even in the Falstaff of Arrigo Boito and Giuseppe Verdi have the characteristic charm, the ripe and pungent individuality of the original comedy been more sedulously preserved.""Much Ado About Nothing", The Manchester Guardian, 31 May 1901, p.

From 1148 to 1170 he used the Melrose Chronicle (edited for the Bannatyne Club in 1835 by Joseph Stevenson) and a collection of letters bearing upon the Thomas Becket controversy. From 1170 to 1192 he drew upon his own earlier Gesta Regis Henrici II and Gesta Regis Ricardi, revising the text and inserting some additional documents. From 1192, the Chronica is an independent and copious authority. Howden is sedulously impersonal, and makes no pretense to literary style, quotes documents in full and adheres to the annalistic method.

The "Wigmore Criteria" are generally used to determine if privilege covers communications that do not fall under the classic privileged communications such as solicitor–client privilege or spousal privilege. To determine whether a communication is privileged, the "Wigmore Criteria" state that: #The communications must originate in a confidence that they will not be disclosed. #This element of confidentiality must be essential to the full and satisfactory maintenance of the relation between the parties. #The relation must be one which in the opinion of the community ought to be sedulously fostered.

Rise to Rebellion received generally positive reviews for its vivid portrayal of the historical events of the American Revolution. Booklist praised it as "an exciting evocation of events leading up to the formation of America," and Publisher's Weekly appreciated the book's "passion and vigor." Kirkus Reviews, however, called the work "dull" and "disappointing," saying that the characters were "all so burdened by the task of providing the reader with huge dollops of sedulously digested information that Shaara neglects to give them any individual reality." Rise to Rebellion spent six weeks on the New York Times fiction bestsellers list from July to August 2001.

Mauceri is the first American ever to have held the post of music director of an opera house in either Great Britain or Italy. Through his sedulously researched renditions of the nineteenth century's pre-eminent operas, Mauceri solidified his reputation "as a musicologist and theorist" as he was "the first to demonstrate, in print and in performance, that the use of metronomic tempos were a structural element in the operas of Giuseppe Verdi." He has spoken about and written numerous articles expounding his fidelity to the composer's intent and the necessity of fully understanding it in performance.

Another visit to Ireland took place in 1776, on the occasion of an election for Antrim, the candidate for which he supported by a series of able letters under the signature of "A Freeholder". Financial pressures eventually forced him to seek paid employment, and in 1781 he accepted the appointment of secretary to Lord Macartney, when that officer was nominated governor of Madras. Boyd now applied himself sedulously to the study of Indian affairs. Not long after his arrival at Madras he conducted a mission from the governor to the king of Kandy in Ceylon, requiring that potentate's assistance against the Dutch.

They have been described as "just the right band" for "Boom Boom". Hooker had a unique sense of timing, which demanded "big-eared sidemen". The original "Boom Boom" is an uptempo (168 beats per minute) blues song, which has been notated in 2/2 time in the key of F. It has been described as "about the tightest musical structure of any Hooker composition: its verses sedulously adhere to the twelve-bar format over which Hooker generally rides so roughshod". The song uses "a stop-time hook that opens up for one of the genre's most memorable guitar riffs" and incorporates a middle instrumental section Hooker-style boogie.

Due to the brevity of his motifs and the way Janáček made use of them and their derivatives, a listener may have difficulty finding something to grasp in the music. Without some study of the score, the logic of his use of motifs and their developments are not aurally so apparent. For this reason, even the well-informed Dmitri Kabalevsky found little in Brouček of which he could sedulously approve.Chisholm, p. 251 Some critics have also pointed out that the moon excursion has a basic flaw in the plot: there is no real “hero” to balance out Brouček, who is the “villain” on the moon.

Devonshire had a major interest in gardening and horticulture, and devoted himself sedulously to the care and nurture of his vast estates. His major projects including the wholesale rebuilding of the village of Edensor, and significant improvement to his several stately houses and their gardens. He befriended Sir Joseph Paxton, then employed at the Royal Horticultural Society's Chiswick Gardens, located close to Devonshire's London estate Chiswick House, and appointed him his head gardener at Chatsworth House in 1826, despite Paxton being only in his early twenties at the time. Paxton greatly expanded the gardens at Chatsworth, including the construction of a 277 foot long conservatory, which served as a model for The Crystal Palace constructed in London's Hyde Park.

There is controversy over the actual position of Wenchang, despite common practice of attributing him to Zhang Yazi. Many point out that the stories on Zhang Yazi are attributed mainly to honor and heroism, having nothing to do with actual literature. In his Myths and Legends of China, E.T.C. Werner points out that "Wherever Wenchang is worshiped there will also be found a separate representation of Kui Xing, showing that while the official deity has been allowed to 'borrow glory' from the popular god, and even to assume his personality, the independent existence of the stellar spirit is nevertheless sedulously maintained." The story being that Zhang Kui (Kui Xing) was a brilliant scholar who was, because of his unsightly face, not recognized by the Emperor when he passed the top examinations.

Although his wealthy parents had bought off his military service in 1861, Mainländer – according to an autobiographic note – expressed the desire "to be absolutely in all things submitted to another one once, to do the lowermost work, to have to obey blindly" and sedulously undertook numerous attempts to serve with weapons. On April 6, 1874, Mainländer, already 32 years old, submitted a request directly to the emperor Wilhelm I of Germany which was granted; this resulted in his appointment to the Cuirassiers in Halberstadt, beginning September 28. During the four months leading up to his conscription, Mainländer, obsessed with work, composed the first volume of his main work Die Philosophie der Erlösung. Mainländer handed the completed manuscript to his sister Minna, asking her to find a publisher while he completed his military service.

Throughout his career, Held used woodblock, linocut, bronze, pen, and paint and he painted everything from maps to cartoons, to scenery and accurate animal portraits. Even though his art was so varied in style, there was unity in effect. Arguing that Fitzgerald christened the Jazz Age, Corey Ford described Held as both the recorder and the setter of popular styles and manners of the era: > His angular and scantily clad flapper was accepted by scandalized elders as > the prototype of modern youth, the symbol of our moral revolution ... Week > after week in Life and Judge and College Humor, they danced the Charleston > with ropes of beads swinging and bracelets clanking and legs kicking at > right angles ... So sedulously did we ape his caricatures that they lost > their satiric point and came to be a documentary record of our time.Held, > John. 1972.

His father thereupon forbade lim to bear his name in future, and the younger Szathmary henceforth adopted instead the name of Ede Szigligeti, the hero of one of Sandor Kisfaludy's romances. He supported himself for the next few years precariously enough, earning as he did little more than twelve florins a month, but at the same time he sedulously devoted himself to the theatre and sketched several plays, which differed so completely from the "original" plays then in vogue (The Played-out Trick actually appeared upon the boards) that they attracted the attention of such connoisseurs as Vorosmarty and Bajza who warmly encouraged the young writer. In 1840 the newly founded Hungarian Academy crowned his five-act drama Rosa, the title-role of which was brilliantly acted by Rosa Laborfalvy, the great actress, who subsequently married Maurus Jokai. Szigligeti was now a celebrity.

The Court found that the trial judge was correct in admitting the evidence. Lamer C.J., writing for the majority, noted that Canadian law does not recognize privilege in religious communications; however, there may be situations where such a privilege may be required. To accommodate this need the Court adopted a four-step test proposed by American jurist John Henry Wigmore to determine whether privilege is required. # the communications must originate in a confidence that they will not be disclosed; # this element of confidentiality must be essential to the full and satisfactory maintenance of the relation between the parties; # the relation must be one which in the opinion of the community ought to be sedulously fostered; and # the injury that would inure to the relation by the disclosure of the communications must be greater than the benefit thereby gained for the correct disposal of litigation.

Moses Mendelssohn did the same thing when Johann Kaspar Lavater demanded he discuss why he didn't want to become a Christian. Both Kierkegaard and Mendelssohn knew the difficulties involved when discussing religious topics: > "As I so sedulously sought to avoid an explanation in my own apartment > amidst a small number of worthy men, of whose good intentions I had every > reason to be persuaded, it might have been reasonably inferred that a public > one would be extremely repugnant to my disposition; and that I must have > inevitably become the more embarrassed when the voice demanding it happened > to be entitled to an answer at any rate." Moses Mendelssohn, Letter to J. C. > Lavater,Letter to Lavater December 12, 1769 Kierkegaard's use of the term "leap" was in response to "Lessing's Ditch" which was discussed by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729–1781) in his theological writings.Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, "On the proof of the spirit and of power" (1777), in Philosophical and Theological Writings, translated and edited by H. B. Nisbet, Cambridge University Press 2005, pp. 83-88.

This combination under one person by was criticised in both the press and Parliament. However, Churchill re-iterated that the continued "integrity, the unity, the independence of the Royal Air Force will be sedulously and carefully maintained". During 1919 it was also decided that civil aviation was to be brought into the Air Ministry rather than being dealt with by either the Board of Trade or the Foreign Office.John Sweetman 1984: "Crucial Months for Survival: The Royal Air Force 1918–19", Journal of Contemporary History, Vol. 19 No.3 (July 1984) p.531 The Army and the War Office had largely agreed to the continued existence of the RAF due, in part, to the enthusiasm for the air service by the Army's political leader Winston Churchill. However, one of the main difficulties for the RAF and Air Ministry in 1919 was the opposition by the Royal Navy to losing their own air service and subsequent lobbying that personnel for naval air purposes afloat be naval officers and ratings – this would have led to a recreation of the now disbanded Royal Naval Air Service.

Kostomarov, the key figure, was imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg and exiled in the town of Saratov. Others received sentences of one to three years and internal exile from Ukraine in Russia. The authorities believed the brotherhood's activities were a part of their wider struggle with the Polish nobility, Nicholas I wrote that, "For a long time we did not believe that such work was going on in Ukraine, but now there can be no doubt about it". A memorandum was prepared by the officers of the Third Section intended to suppressed the spread of Ukrainophile ideas, it read: "Through the minister of popular education, to warn all those dealing with Slavdom, antiquity, and nationality, as well as professors, teachers, and censors, that in their books and lectures they sedulously avoid any mention of Little Russia, Poland, and other lands subject to Russia that may be understood in a sense dangerous to the integrity and peace of the empire, and on the contrary, they strive as much as possible to incline all lessons of scholarship and history toward the true loyalty of all those tires to Russia".

At Cambridge, Montagu made the acquaintance of the poets Thomas Gray and William Mason, which he sedulously cultivated afterwards. To his influence, Mason owed his appointment to a canonry at York in 1762. Admitted a barrister of Lincoln's Inn in 1757, Montagu became a bencher in 1782. He succeeded his father to the Papplewick estate in 1759 and to his seat as MP for Northampton from 1759 to 1767. He also represented Higham Ferrers as MP from 1768 to 1790. In 1763, his cousin, George Montagu-Dunk, 2nd Earl of Halifax, pressed George Grenville to obtain a post for him in the board of trade, and he was subsequently 'a devoted adherent to the Cavendish and Rockingham interest'. In 1772, he moved in vain to abolish the fast of 30 January, the date of Charles I's execution ; the fast was not abolished till 1859. In 1780, he was generally expected to succeed Fletcher Norton, 1st Baron Grantley as speaker of the House of Commons. He became a Lord of the Treasury in 1782 under Charles Watson- Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, and again in 1783 in William Cavendish- Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland's coalition ministry.
