THOMAS See also:DICK , See also:Bart. (1784-1848), Scottish author, only son of Sir See also:Andrew Lauder, 6th See also:baronet, was See also:born at See also:Edinburgh in 1784.

attainder was substituted and sent up to the Lords on the 22nd of See also:November.

Laud never married. He is described by See also:Fuller as " See also:low of stature, little in bulk, cheerful in countenance (wherein gravity and quickness were all compounded), of a See also:sharp and piercing See also:eye, clear See also:judgment and (abating the See also:influence of See also:age) hrm memory." His See also:personality, on See also:account of the sharp religious antagonisms with which his name is inevitably associated, has rarely been judged with impartiality. His severities were the result of a narrow mind and not of a vindictive spirit, and their number has certainly been exaggerated. His career was distinguished by uprightness, by piety, by a devotion to See also:duty, by courage and consistency. In particular it is clear that the charge of partiality for See also:Rome is unfounded. At the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

- TIME, STANDARD
time the circumstances of the See also:period, the fact that various schemes of See also:union with Rome were abroad, that the See also:missions of Panzani and later of See also:Conn were gathering into the Church of Rome See also:numbers of members of the Church of England who, like Laud himself, were dissatisfied with the Puritan See also:bias which then characterized it, the incident mentioned by Laud himself of his being twice offered the cardinalate, the See also:movement carried on at the See also:court in favour of Romanism, and the fact that Laud's changes in See also:ritual, however clearly defined and restricted in his own intention, all tended towards See also:Roman practice, fully warranted the suspicions and fears of his contemporaries. Laud's See also:complete neglect of the See also:national sentiment, in his belief that the exercise of See also:mere See also:power was sufficient to suppress it, is a See also:principal See also:- PROOF (in M. Eng. preove, proeve, preve, &°c., from O. Fr . prueve, proeve, &c., mod. preuve, Late. Lat. proba, probate, to prove, to test the goodness of anything, probus, good)
proof of his See also:total lack of true statesmanship. The hostility to " innovations in See also:religion," it is generally allowed, was a far stronger incentive to the See also:rebellion against the arbitrary power of the See also:crown, than even the violation of constitutional liberties; and to Laud, therefore, more than to See also:Strafford, to See also:- BUCKINGHAM
- BUCKINGHAM, EARLS, MARQUESSES AND DUKES OF
- BUCKINGHAM, FIRST DUKE
- BUCKINGHAM, GEORGE VILLIERS, 1ST DUKE 0E1
- BUCKINGHAM, GEORGE VILLIERS, 2ND DUKE 0E1 (1628-1687)
- BUCKINGHAM, HENRY STAFFORD, 2ND DUKE OF3 (1454-1483)
- BUCKINGHAM, JAMES SILK (1786-1855)
Buckingham, or even perhaps to See also:Charles himself, is especially due the responsibility for the See also:catastrophe. He held fast to the See also:great See also:idea of the catholicity of the See also:English Church, to that conception of it which regards it as a See also:branch of the whole See also:Christian church, and emphasizes its See also:historical continuity and identity from the time of khe apostles, but here again his policy was at See also:fault; for his despotic See also:administration not only excited and exaggerated the tendencies to separatism and independentism which finally prevailed, but excluded large bodies of faithful churchmen from communion with their church and from their See also:country. The See also:emigration to See also:Massachusetts in 162q, which continued in a stream till 1640, was not composed of separatists but of episcopalians. Thus what Laud grasped with one See also:hand he destroyed with the other.
Passing to the more indirect influence of Laud on his times, we can observe a narrowness of mind and aim which separates him from a See also:man of such high See also:imagination and See also:idealism as Strafford, however closely identified their policies may have been for the moment. The See also:chief feature of Laud's administration is See also:attention to countless details, to the most trivial of which he attached excessive importance, and which are uninspired by any great underlying principle. His. view was always essentially material. The one See also:element in the church which to him was all essential was its visibility. This was the source of his intense dislike of the Puritan and See also:Nonconformist conception of the church, which afforded no tangible or definite See also:form. Hence the
" See also:Simon See also:Roy, Gardener at Dunphail," was by some ascribed to Sir See also:Walter See also:Scott. His See also:paper (1818) on " The Parallel Roads of Glenroy," printed in vol. ix. of the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, first See also:drew attention to the phenomenon in question. In 1825 and 1827 he published two romances, Lochandhu and the See also:Wolf of See also:Badenoch. He became a frequent contributor to Blackwood and also to See also:Tait's Magazine, and in 183o he published An Account of the Great Floods of See also:August 1829 in the See also:Province of See also:Moray and adjoining Districts. Subsequent See also:works were Highland Rambles, with See also:Long Tales to Shorten the Way (2 vols. 8vo, 1837), Legendary Tales of the See also:Highlands (3 vols. 12mo, 7841), Tour See also:round the Coasts of See also:Scotland (1842) and Memorial of the Royal Progress in Scotland (1843). Vol. i. of a See also:Miscellany of Natural See also:History, published in 1833, was also partly prepared by Lauder. He was a Liberal, and took an active See also:interest in politics; he held the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of secretary to the See also:Board of Scottish Manufactures. He died on the 29th of May 1848. An unfinished See also:series of papers, written for Tait's Magazine shortly before his death, was published under the See also:title Scottish See also:Rivers, with a See also:preface by John See also:- BROWN
