Goldsmith's College : a centenary account Goldsmiths' College occupies the site of a distiller's house built in 1789 in New Cross. Educational activities have been carried on there since 1792. The premises were later used for a private school to the Royal Naval School in 1843. When the School moved to Eltham in 1889 the buildings were acquired by the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. Between 1891 and 1905 the Company maintained a Technical and Recreative Institute. The buildings were presented to the University of London in 1904; Goldsmiths' College has been part of the University ever since. Known as a teacher training college, it also maintained a School of Art and an Evening Department. From about 1960 the range of activities expanded until in 1988 it was admitted as a full School of the University of London. This book was published as part of Goldsmiths' centenary celebrations in 1991 and tells the story of its development over the years. There are numerous black and white photographs, and an index of persons. Appendix B lists the Wardens of Goldsmiths' College from 1905. 1991 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 378.4(421)

Promotion or the bottom of the river : the blue and gray naval careers of Alexander F. Warley, South Carolinian /John M. Stickney. "South Carolinian Alexander F. Warley (1823-1895) was an exceptional naval officer who enjoyed a robust life of far-flung adventures at sea during several dramatic periods in American maritime history. Warley's career began in the 1840s, when he served as a midshipman on Old Ironsides and later took part in the Mexican War. His military exploits reached their zenith when he commanded the CSS Manassas - the first ironclad ship to engage in combat - at New Orleans in October 1861. John M. Stickney's richly detailed biography of Warley as an officer first in the United States Navy and later in the Confederate navy offers a representative example of America's professional military class during the nineteenth century. An ambitious youth of little means, Warley secured an appointment as a midshipman at the age of seventeen through the influence of John C. Calhoun. Over the next two decades of maritime adventures, Warley faced four courts-martial, combat and capture in the Mexican War, and the challenges of rising in the ranks. After South Carolina seceded in December 1860, Warley joined the newly formed Confederate navy and gained recognition for his service at New Orleans, commanding the Manassas until the Confederate defeat there in 1862. Warley's career in the Confederate navy ended with his command of the CSS Albemarle and its destruction at Plymouth, North Carolina. With vivid details and rich narration, Stickney portrays one young man's struggle for glory and success in a divided nation. Using ships logs and naval records, Stickney unravels Warley's naval career and explores the Civil War naval actions that unfolded in New Orleans, Charleston, Galveston, Savannah, and Plymouth during this critical time in American history, revealing the pluck and fortitude of a previously unknown combatant."--Provided by the publisher. 2012. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92WARLEY

Fitzroy : the remarkable story of Darwin's captain and the invention of the weather forecast A biography of Robert Fitzroy (1805-1865). Joining the navy at the age of 12, Fitzroy became a skilled hydrographer and was given command of the Beagle in 1828. He was famously joined on his second voyage on the Beagle by Charles Darwin. He served as a Member of Parliament for two years, was appointed as Governor of New Zealand in 1843 and on returning to Britain and active naval service in 1845, he developed his interest in meteorology. With the aim of saving lives at sea, he went on to develop the fundamental techniques of weather forecasting, designed a standard barometer and thermometer (a first weather station), invented the system of storm warnings, issued the first daily weather forecasts and became the founding director of the Meteorological Office. He died after committing suicide in 1865. 2003 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 623.82BEAGLE
