After leaving school in 1872, he went to India to look after his father's estates in Bengal and remained there until 1888, albeit with occasional visits back home. In 1881 he was assaulted by Indian land rioters and as a result became friends with James Monro who was District Judge and Inspector-General in the Bombay Presidency at the time.
In October 3, 1878 he married the former Dora Emily Sanderson, the daughter of a Canon from Chiches ...

| | | | | Charles Warren: Encyclopedia II - Hercules Robinson 1st Baron Rosmead - Early Life and Government Career He was of Irish descent on both sides; his father was Admiral Hercules Robinson, his mother was from a Rosmead, County Westmeath, from which he afterwards took his title. Passing from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst into the 87th Foot, he attained the rank of captain.

His energy in these positions, notably during the famine of 1848, and the clearness and vigour of his reports, s ...

| | | | | Charles Warren: Encyclopedia II - Hercules Robinson 1st Baron Rosmead - Second Term as Governor of South Africa His second term of office was not fortunate. The Jameson Raid produced a permanent estrangement between him and Cecil Rhodes, and he was out of sympathy with the new colonial secretary, Joseph Chamberlain, who had criticized his appointment, and now desired Robinson to take this opportunity of settling the whole question of the position of the Uitlanders in the Transvaal.
Robinson answered that the moment was inopportune, and that he must be left to choose his own time. Alarmed at the imminent danger of war, he confined his efforts to ...

| | | | | Charles Warren: Encyclopedia II - Victorian era - Science technology and engineering The impetus of the industrial revolution had already occurred, but it was during this period that the full effects of industrialisation made themselves felt, leading to the mass society of the 20th century. The revolution led to the rise of railways across the country and massive leaps forward in engineering, most famously by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
During the Victorian era, science grew into the discipline it is today. In addition to the increasing professionalism of university science, many Vic ...

| | | | | Charles Warren: Encyclopedia II - Jack the Ripper - The Ripper letters Over the course of the Ripper murders, the police and newspapers received many thousands of letters regarding the case. Some were from well-intentioned persons offering advice for catching the killer. The vast majority of these were deemed useless and subsequently ignored.
Perhaps more interesting were hundreds of letters which claimed to have been written by the killer himself. The vast majority of such letters are considered hoaxes. Many experts contend that none of them are genuine, but of the ones cited as perhaps genuine, ...

| | | | | Charles Warren: Encyclopedia II - Jack the Ripper - Media The Ripper murders mark an important watershed in modern British life. While not the first serial killer, Jack the Ripper was the first to create a worldwide media frenzy around his killings. Reforms to the Stamp Act in 1855 had enabled the publication of inexpensive newspapers with wider circulation. These mushroomed later in the Victorian era to include mass-circulation newspapers as cheap as a halfpenny, along with popular magazines such as the Illustrated Police News, making the Ripper the beneficiary of previously unparalleled pu ...

| | | | | Charles Warren: Encyclopedia II - Jack the Ripper - Goulston Street graffiti After the "double event" of the early morning of September 30, police searched the area near the crime scenes in an effort to locate a suspect, witnesses or evidence. At about 3:00 a.m., Constable Alfred Long discovered a bloodstained scrap of cloth near a tenement on Goulston Street. The cloth was later confirmed as part of Eddowes' apron.
There was graffiti in white chalk on the wall above where the apron was found. Long reported the message as "The Juwes are the men That Will not be Blamed for nothing." Other police officers recalled a slightly different message: ...

| | | | | | Charles Warren: Encyclopedia II - Biblical archaeology - Milestones after 1945 The Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible manuscripts do not qualify as artifacts representing something mentioned in the Bible, although they are an important testimony to the antiquity of the texts, and the reliable manner in which they were preserved through the centuries.
The first seven scrolls had initially appeared on the antiquities market, but when their enormous importance was recognized, archaeologists eventually found their source in a series of caves above the Dead Sea, a ...

It was the first city handed over to Palestinian Authority control in 1994, in accordance with the Gaza and Jericho Agreement. After a period of Israeli reoccupation, it was returned to the Palestinian Authority on 16 March 2005.

Notice that the engraving styles indicate at least two, possibly five, people made the seals. The 21 types can be grouped together in five or six sets, but they may have been created or utilized in pairs based on quantities of their impressions found so far (Grena, 2004, p. 349) and internal evidence suc ...
