| | Robert Chambers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Unitarian physiologist William Carpenter called it "a very beautiful and a very interesting book", and helped Chambers with correcting later editions. | | | In the beginning of 1832 William Chambers started a weekly publication under the title of Chambers's Edinburgh Journal (known since 1854 as Chambers's Journal of Literature, Science and Arts), which speedily attained a large circulation. | | | Robert Chambers showed an enthusiastic interest in the history and antiquities of Edinburgh, and found a most congenial task in his Traditions of Edinburgh (2 vols., 1824), which secured for him the approval and the personal friendship of Sir Walter Scott. |

| | Chambers publishing firm history |
| | Although educational publishing made William and Robert famous, Robert was a learned man in his own right. | | | William and Robert Chambers were born into a relatively prosperous, mill-owning family in the Scottish Borders, and much of their childhood was passed during time of war with the French. | | | Robert remained in Peebles to finish his education, but William was forced to find work to help support the family, as apprentice to a Mr Sutherland, bookseller, at the very modest sum of 4 shillings a week. |

| | II Journal: Aesthetic Reflection and the Colonial Event: The Work of Art in the Age of Slavery |
| | William's first drawing lessons were supposed to have been conducted by Sir William Chambers, founder of the Royal Society of Architects, and drawing master for George III when he was Prince of Wales. | | | Indeed, neither the modernity of William Beckford, nor his desire to make the aesthetic the code of his life - the practice that would validate his status - could have been possible without colonial holdings and the political and moral economy they generated. | | | William Beckford's example calls into question at least two of the assumptions Eagleton makes: first, the aesthetic itself was not the political unconscious; this status needs to be reserved for the history and material culture that had to be repressed so that one could live out the aesthetic life without ideological baggage. |

| | Edinburgh Geologist - Robert Chambers |
| | By the 1840s, Chambers was co-proprietor, with his brother William, of W. and R. Chambers, publishers of Chambersís Edinburgh Journal and a variety of other productions for Victorian families and institutions, not least their Dictionary which is still going strong. | | | This was, of course, Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation, a pro-evolutionary work which Chambers published anonymously in 1844, to protect his familyís respectability, and the economic survival of the family firm. | | | Chambers (see portrait) liked to push good old Scots and new Victorian self-improvement in his publications, and, as a young, struggling freelance journalist, Hugh Miller for one was grateful for his encouragement. |

| | Her son William's life itself was at risk in plague-time, and his birth-date was important to her and would have been lovingly recalled until Mary died. | | | Wedded to John Shakespeare, Mary may have found his religious views problematic or unlike her father's, but John seems to have been brought up as a Catholic, and their son William was raised in the shadow of the old faith. | | | The wishful notion that he was born on 23 April was first mooted, so far as we know, by William Oldys in a marginal note written in all probability between 1743 and 1750, and properly belongs to legends about Shakespeare. |
