You might also want to check Coral Lansbury's The Old Brown Dog (1985) -
these two books were extremely useful sources for me. There was also a
history of one of the anti-vivisection societies, but I can't remember
which one - feel free to e-mail me off list if you'd like me to dig up the
details. The Victoria-L archives might offer other sources (I recently
asked for sources linking women and vivisected animals, and got some good
responses).
I expect Sally Mitchell will have many useful suggestions, as soon as the
east coast wakes up! :)

Subject: Re: Victorian anti-vivisection history
It's Cobbe's second antivivisection society (the British Union for the
Abolition of Vivisection), not the first, that has a recent book devoted
to its own history. The first (which is still in existence) has not
allowed scholars access to its papers. Aside from the books mentioned, you
might look at Frances Power Cobbe's own account in her *Life* (1894),
which has recently been republished in a very expensive edition but which
should, at any rate, be found in a good library.
I'm reading page proofs and indexing my biography of Cobbe, which will be
published by University of Virginia Press this summer, but I don't know
that I have anything of great significance to add to the account in French
and in her autobiography, though there are dates and details.

Subject: Re: Crocodiles
I don't know if you're interested in visual references at all, but if you're
going to consider Christina Rossetti's "My Dream," you'll also be interested
in her accompanying manuscript drawing, featuring a crocodile depending from
a tree by his tail, suspended above a sleeping female figure (dated 16
march/55).

Subject: Re: Victorian anti-vivisection history
Online sources are limited, but you could look at the BUAV website -- it
has a surprising amount of history for an association site, and does
document the key events in anti-vivisection history. It is better on some
of the turn of the century events (such as the Brown Dog riots), but there
is an account of the establishment of Victoria Street.
Otherwise, French's Antivivisection and Medical Science is still the
definitive source, especially if you want real details about the policy
differences between Victoria Street and othe anti-vivisection societies.

Dear Victoria,
Re C. G. Rossetti and crocodiles:
The Penguin Edition (2001) of Rossetti's Complete Poems (Text by Crump;
Notes by Flowers) has a useful compilation of sources and references on p.
893 (includes WM Notes (1904), p. 479; CGR Letters, ed. Harrison (I: 208;
I: 209n1); Marsh's biography of CGR, pp. 164-5).
Good luck, and Happy (Chinese) New Year.

Subject: Jacob wrestling with the angel
A few weeks ago I was watching the HBO miniseries Angels in America and an
image (painting) flashed onscreen of Jacob wrestling with the angel. It
looked to me like a 19th century depiction. Possibly Pre-Raphaelite, very
intense. The composition resembled (but isn't) Gustave Dore's 1855 drawing.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Does anyone know who painted it or
where it is?
Any and all leads appreciated!
Thanks,
James Jayo

Subject: Query: German Philology in British/U.S. Higher Education?
Would it be accurate to claim that:
1) German philology had a greater influence in higher education in the U.S.
between 1850 and 1900 than in Britain?
2) That it would be seen as more "scientific" and "manly" than a "belles
lettres" and implicitly feminized approach to literature?
Any thoughts?

Subject: fellowships & grants
Hello VICTORIA--
I am a doctoral student about to run out of funding, and I'm hoping the list
might be able to suggest either specific fellowships/grants or else good
lists of f/gs that I might consult. I've done some google searching,
checked VICTORIA's archives, and also looked at the Directory of Financial
Aids for Women.
Other suggestions?
Thanks--

I don't think one can just claim it, but one might be able to prove
it. Max Mueller alone kept the German philological tradition on the
British plate, and tongue, well into the 2nd half of the century. You
might look at Mark Pattison's *Oxford Studies* or at the new ( & we think
authoritative) Virginia edition of *Essays and Reviews* ed Whitla and Shea.

Ach, ja, gewiss.

Frank--
Have you consulted the Wellesley Index to Victorian Periodicals? If not,
go to vol. 5, the index volume, first.
J. Ewing Ritchie and Thomas Archer's widow both applied to the Royal
Literary Fund for assistance. Their applications should identify some of
their contributions.

Subject: Victorian Publishing Question
This query comes from a colleague in 18th-c. studies. Replies can be sent
to me or directly to [log in to unmask]
Can any of you shed light on a 1888 imprint, "Bohn's Standard Library"?
The publisher is George Bell & Sons in Covent Garden, and I (pardon the
pun) the publisher's name rings a bell. I probably have encountered Bell
& Sons as a publisher of seventeenth and eighteenth-century literary
texts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Re: fellowships & grants
Melanie,
Here are a few general resources that might be helpful to you and anyone
else on the list who might find themselves in search of grant money.
http://www.ed.gov/news/fedregister/announce/index.html - The Federal
Register. This lists all federal funding educational opportunities as
they are issued. There is a search capability too, so searching out
fellowships is easy.
http://gtionline.fdncenter.org - This is affiliated with the Foundation
Center, which is a comprehensive resource for corporate, private, and
foundation-related information. There is a subscription fee of
$9.95/mo., but if you feel like making the modest investment, there's
lots of information on fellowships here.
http://guidestar.org - Guidestar.org. If you don't feel like paying the
Foundation Center, much of the same information can probably be gotten
here. Guidestar is very similar to the Foundation Center and covers the
same ground, but they are probably even more comprehensive. The
downside is that there's a lot more work for you to do to get the
information. There's a search capability here, so you can type in
"fellowships" and get a nice, long list. You have to register if you
want anything more than basic info, but it's free.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Laurie

Subject: Re: crocodiles
As an addendum to Robert Morrison's Romantic crocs, I'll add Coleridge,
who read about them in Bartram's Travels--details will be found by going
to Lowe's Road to Xanadu and looking in the index under "alligator," and
Blake who (I do hope memory is serving me well) commercially engraved a
crocodile. And let's not forget Prinny's "Crocodile Couch" at the
Brighton Pavilion.
