See also:STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE, STRATFORD See also:CANNING, See also:VISCOUNT (1786-188o) , See also:British diplomatist, was See also:born in See also:Clement's See also:Lane in the See also:city of See also:London, on the 4th of See also:November 1786. His See also:father, Stratford Canning, See also:uncle of See also:George Canning (q.v.), had been disinherited for his See also:marriage with Mehetabel See also:Patrick. He settled in London as a See also:merchant. On his See also:death, six months after the See also:birth of his son, his widow took a See also:house at See also:Wanstead near See also:Epping See also:Forest. Stratford Canning was educated first at a See also:dame's school at Wanstead, then at See also:Hackney, and after 1794 at See also:Eton. In 18o5 he was elected a See also:scholar of See also:- KING

King's See also:College, See also:Cam-See also:bridge, but he only kept two terms, and in 1807 was appointed precis writer to the See also:foreign 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 by his See also:cousin George Canning. He received his degree in 1812, See also:residence having been dispensed with on the ground that he was absent on the king's service. In 1807 he went as secretary to Mr Merry on a See also:diplomatic See also:mission to See also:Copenhagen. In ,8o8 he was appointed first secretary to. Mr (afterwards See also:Sir See also:Robert) See also:Adair, who was sent as See also:ambassador. to See also:Constantinople. When Mr Adair was transferred to See also:Vienna in 181o, Canning remained at Constantinople as See also:charge d'affaires. The British See also:government was then in the very crisis of its strugglewith See also:Napoleon, and it See also:left Canning entirely to his own discretion. His See also:principal task was to persuade the See also:Turkish government not to show undue favour to the See also:French privateers which swarmed in the See also:Levant. In May; 8I2 he was able to See also:play the See also:part of " honest See also:broker " in arranging the See also:peace of See also:Bucharest between See also:Turkey and See also:Russia, which left a powerful See also:Russian See also:army See also:free to take part in repelling Napoleon's invasion. Canning was able to hasten the decision of the See also:Turks, by making judicious use of Napoleon's See also:plan for the See also:partition of their See also:empire. A copy of it had been left in his hands by Mr Adair to be used at the proper moment. In See also:July he left Constantinople with the sincere See also:desire never to return, for he was tired of the corrupt and stiff-necked Turkish officials. His ambition was to See also:lead an active career at See also:home. But his success in arranging the treaty of Bucharest had marked him out for diplomatic employment. His See also:absence from home in See also:early youth and the See also:independent position he had held much before the usual See also:age, had in fact disqualified him for the career of a See also:parliamentary party See also:man. By the friendly intervention of Castlereagh, his cousin's old opponent, he received a See also:pension, or rather a retaining See also:fee, of £1200 a See also:year, on the " usual conditions "—which were that he should bind himself to accept the next diplomatic See also:post offered, and should not See also:attempt to enter See also:parliament. Canning spent his leisure in travel-See also:ling about See also:England, and he wrote some See also:poetry which gained him the praise of See also:Byron, whom he had known in boyhood, and had met in Constantinople. In 1814 he was appointed See also:minister plenipotentiary to See also:Switzerland. In this capacity he had a See also:share in reorganizing the confederacy after the fall . of the See also:Napoleonic See also:settlement, and he attended the See also:congress at Vienna. He was an See also:eye-See also:witness of the dramatic See also:change produced at, Vienna by Napoleon's return from See also:Elba.. Canning retained his post in Switzer-See also:land till 1818. In 1816 he married See also:Miss Harriet See also:Raikes, daughter of a See also:governor of the See also:Bank of England. Her death in See also:child-birth in 1818, had a strong See also:influence in inducing him to resign his post, of which he was thoroughly tired. The British minister to Switzer,-land had merely formal duties to perform in normal times, and the See also:place was wearisome to a man of Canning's capacity and desire for See also:work. In 1819 he was appointed minister at Washing-ton, a station of See also:great difficulty owing to the See also:ill-feeling created by the See also:war of 1812 and the many delicate questions outstanding between the British and the See also:American governments. Canning, whose naturally See also:quick See also:temper had been See also:developed by early See also:independence, came into occasional collision with See also:John See also:Quincy See also:- ADAMS

- ADAMS, WILLIAM (d. 162o)
Adams, the American secretary of See also:state, who was, on his own showing, by no. means of a patient disposition. Yet the American statesman recognized that the " arrogance" of the British minister was combined with See also:absolute candour and that he was above all See also:petty diplomatic trickery. They parted with mutual respect. Canning returned to England in 1823 on leave and did not go back to See also:Washington. The See also:general treaty he had arranged with Mr Adams was rejected by the See also:United States See also:Senate.
In 1824 Canning was selected as ambassador to Turkey, and proceeded to Constantinople after a preliminary visit to Vienna and St See also:Petersburg. In the Russian See also:capital he'was engaged in discussing the arrangement of the See also:Alaska boundary, and, partly in See also:sounding the Russian government as to the course to be taken with the See also:Greek revolt against Turkey. He left for Constantinople in See also:October 1825, accompanied by his second wife, the daughter of Mr See also:Alexander of Somerhill near See also:Tonbridge. At Constantinople he was engaged with the ambassadors of See also:France and Russia in an enterprise which he afterwards recognized as having been hopeless from the beginning—namely in endeavouring to indife See also:Sultan Mahmud II. to make concessions to the Greeks, without applying to him the pressure of armed force. After the See also:battle of See also:Navarino (q.v.) on the loth of October 1827, the ambassadors were compelled to retire to See also:Corfu. Here Canning leaned that his conduct so far had been approved, but as he desired to know what view was taken of the final rupture with the See also:Porte he came home. He was sent out again on the 8th of July 182.8. Canning did not agree on all points with his See also:superior, See also:Lord See also:Aberdeen, and in 1829 he, for the 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, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time being, turned from diplomatic to
parliamentary See also:life. He sat for Old Sarum, for See also:Stockbridge (rotten flows in exquisite wooded reaches, navigable only for small boroughs) and for See also:Southampton, but did not make much See also:mark
.in 'parliament. He was twice absent on diplomatic See also:missions. At the end of 1831 he went to Constantinople to attend the conferences on the delimitation of the Greek frontier, arriving immediately after the See also:receipt of the See also:news of Mehemet See also:Ali's invasion of See also:Syria (see MEHEMET ALI). Sultan Mahmud now proposed to Canning an See also:alliance between Great See also:Britain and Turkey, and Canning strongly urged this upon See also:Palmerston, pointing out the advisability of helping the sultan against Mehemet Ali in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
Order to forestall Russia, and of at the same time placating Mehemet Ali by guaranteeing him certain advantages. This See also:advice, which largely anticipated the settlement of 1841, was not followed; but Canning himself was in high favour with the sultan, from whom he received the unique distinction of the See also:sovereign's portrait set in diamonds. In 1833 he was selected as ambassador to Russia, but the See also:tsar See also:Nicholas I. refused to receive him. The See also:story that the tsar was influenced by merely See also:personal animosity seems to be unfounded. Nicholas was no doubt sufficiently informed as to the See also:peremptory See also:character of Sir Stratford Canning (he had been made G.C.B. in 1828) to see his unfitness to represent Great Britain at a really independent See also:court.
After Canning had declined the treasurership of the See also:Household and the governor-generalship of See also:Canada, he was again named ambassador at Constantinople. He reached his post in See also:January 1842 and retained it till his resignation in See also:February 1858. His See also:tenure of office in these years was made remarkable—first by his See also:constant efforts to induce the Turkish government to accept reform and to conduct itself with humanity and decency; then by the See also:Crimean War (q.v.). Canning had no See also:original liking for the Turks. He was the first to See also:express an ardent See also:hope that they would be expelled from See also:Europe with " bag and baggage "—a phrase made popular in after times by See also:Gladstone. But he had persuaded himself that under the new sultan Abd-ul-Mejid they might be reformed, and he was willing to play the part of guiding See also:providence. He certainly impressed himself on the Turks, and on all other witnesses, as a strong See also:personality. In particular he struck the See also:imagination of See also:Kinglake, the author of the Invasion of the See also:Crimea. In that See also:book he appears as a See also:kind of magician who is always mentioned as the" great Elchi " and who influences the See also:fate of nations by mystic spells See also:cast on pallid sultans. Great Elchi is the Turkish See also:title for an ambassador, and Elchi for a minister plenipotentiary. The use made of the See also:exotic title in Kinglake's book is only one of the Corinthian ornaments of his See also:style. In sober fact Canning's exertions on behalf of reform in Turkey affected little below the See also:surface. His share in the Crimean War cannot be told here. On the fall of Palmerston's See also:ministry in February 1858 he resigned, and though he paid a complimentary farewell visit to Constantinople, he had no further share in public life than the occasional speeches he delivered from his place in the House of Lords. He had been raised to the See also:peerage in 1852. During his later years he wrote several essays collected under the title of The Eastern Question (London, 1881)' In 1873 he published his See also:treatise, Why I am a See also:Christian, and in 1876 his play, See also:Alfred the Great at See also:Athelney. The only son of his second marriage died before him. His wife and two daughters survived him. Lord Stratford died on the 14th of See also:August 188o, and was buried at Frant in See also:Sussex. A See also:monument to him was erected in See also:Westminster See also:Abbey in 1884.

William See also:Shakespeare has brought to Stratford; yet this notoriety sprang into strong growth only towards the end of the 18th century. The task of preserving for See also:modern eyes the buildings which Shakespeare himself saw was not entered upon until much of the visible connexion with his times had been destroyed. Yet the town is under no great See also:industrial or other modernizing influence, and therefore stands in the position of an See also:ancient See also:shrine, See also:drawing a See also:pilgrimage of modern origin. The plan of Shakespeare's Stratford at least is preserved, for the road See also:crossing Clopton's bridge is an ancient See also:highway, and forks in the midst of the town into three great branches, about which: the See also:village See also:grew up. The high cross no longer stands at the market-place where these roads converged. But the open space where is now a memorial See also:fountain was the Rother market, and Rother See also:Street preserves its name. The word signifies horned See also:cattle, and is found in Shakespeare's own See also:writing, in the restored line " It is the pasture lards the rother's sides " (See also:Timon of See also:Athens), where " See also:brother's " was originally the accredited See also:reading. In See also:Henley Street, See also:close by, is the house in which the poet was born, greatly altered in See also:external See also:appearance, being actually two half-timbered cottages connected. A small apartment is by immemorial tradition shown as his birth-See also:room, bearing on its See also:- WHITE

white-washed walls and its windows innumerable signatures of visitors, among which such names as See also:Walter See also:Scott, See also:Dickens and See also:Thackeray may be deciphered. Part of the building, used by the poet's father as a See also:wool-See also:shop, is fitted as a museum. Shakespeare may have attended the See also:grammar school attached to the old guildhall in Church Street. This was a foundation in connexion with the gild of the Holy Cross, but was refounded after the See also:dissolution by King Edward VI. in 1553, and bears his name. The site of Shakespeare's house, New Place, bought by him in 1597, was acquired by public subscription, chiefly through the exertions of J. O. Halliwell-Phillipps, and was handed over to the trustees of the birthplace in 1876. The house was built by Sir Hugh Clopton. Shakespeare acquired a considerable See also:property adjacent to it, retired here after his active Iife in London, and here died. Sir John Clopton destroyed the house in 1792 (as it had reverted to his See also:family), and the See also:mansion he built was in. turn destroyed by Sir See also:Francis Gastrell in 1759. The site, which is
traceable, is surrounded by gardens. Shakespeare is buried in the See also:chancel of Holy Trinity church, his wife lying next to him. The slab over the poet's See also:grave bears the lines beginning
" See also:Good friend, for Jesus' See also:sake forbeare
To digg the dust enclosed heare ";
while the effigy on the mural monument above may well be an See also:authentic See also:representation, though somewhat altered and damaged by time and restoration (see SHAKESPEARE: Portraits).
Apart from the See also:interest attaching to the pleasant See also:country town and its See also:pastoral environment, through their influence trace-able in Shakespeare's writings, there are further connexions with himself and his family to be found. The house adjacent to New Place known as See also:Nash's house was that of Thomas Nash, who married Shakespeare's granddaughter See also:Elizabeth Hall; it is used as a museum. At Shottery, 1 m. west of Stratford, is the picturesque thatched cottage in which Shakespeare's wife, See also:Anne Hathaway, was born. It was See also:purchased for the nation in 1892. The See also:maiden name of the poet's mother was See also:Mary See also:Arden, and this name, that of an ancient See also:county family, survives in the See also:district north-west of Stratford, the Forest of Arden, though the true forest character is See also:long lost. At Snitterfield to the north, where the See also:low wooded hills begin to rise from the valley, lived Shakespeare's grandfather and uncle.
The principal modern monument to the poet's memory in Stratford is the Shakespeare Memorial, a semi-See also:Gothic building of See also:brick, stone and See also:timber, erected in 1877 to contain a See also:theatre, picture See also:gallery and library. A performance of one of the plays is given annually. The memorial stands by the river above the church, and above again See also:lie the See also:Bancroft or Bank See also:croft gardens where, in 1769, a celebration in See also:honour of the poet was organized by See also:David See also:Garrick. See also:Evidence of the intense interest taken by American visitors in Stratford is seen in the memorial fountain and See also:clock-tower presented in 1887, and in a window in the church illustrating scenes from the Incarnation and containing figures from English and American See also:history.
History.—Stratford-on-Avon (Stradforde, See also:Strafford, Straffordon-Avon) is a place of great antiquity. A See also:Roman road may have run past the site; coins, &c., have been found, and the district at any See also:rate was inhabited in Roman times. The See also:manor was granted by King Off a to the bishopric of Worcester; and it was under the See also:protection of the bishops of Worcester, who were granting them privileges as early as the reign of See also:Richard I., that the inhabitants of the town assumed burghal rights at an early date. The Gild of the Holy Cross, founded in the 13th century for the support of poor priests and others, exercised great authority over the town for many years. Its dissolution was the cause of the See also:incorporation charter of Edward VI. in 1553, by which the town was incorporated under the title of the See also:bailiff and burgesses, who were to See also:bear the name of aldermen. Another charter, confirming former liberties but altering the constitution of the See also:corporation, was granted in 1611. By the charters of 1664 and 1674 the corporation was given the title of See also:mayor, aldermen and burgesses. The governing See also:body now consists of a mayor, 6 aldermen and • 18 councillors.
