Ellis Island

 

 

a Eulogy of the Ancestors....

Let us praise illustrious people

Our folk in their successive generations.

The Lord gave them glory

And showed his greatness in them from the beginning.

Some ruled their kingdoms and were renowned for their achievements,

Others directed their people by their advice,

By their understanding of the popular mind

And instructed them with the wise words of their teaching.

All these were honoured by their contemporaries

And were the glory of their day.

Some cultivated music and poetry....

The names of some lived on and people still praise them today

While others left no memory

And disappeared as though they had not existed.

Here is a list of generous people

Whose good works have not been forgotten.

In their descendants there remains a rich inheritance born of them....

Their offspring will last forever.

Their glory will not fade.

Their bodies have been buried in peace.

And their names live on for all generations.

People will speak of their wisdom;

And the assembly will celebrate their praises.(Ecclesiasticus 44:1-15)

In June 2008, a gold cup, thought to have originated in ancient Persia, sold at auction in Dorchester for £50,000. The seller - who had taken pot shots at it with an airgun as a boy - had been given it by his grandfather, a scrap-metal dealer.


• In the 1960s an Oxford librarian bought a pair of old paintings as part of a job lot in a cardboard box, and hung them in her spare room. In 2006, they were discovered to be lost panels from a Fra Angelico altarpiece from the monastery of San Marco, in Florence. They fetched £1.7m at auction.


• A painting described as "18th-century continental school, half-length portrait of an aesthete" was sold at auction in Leicestershire in 2007, with an estimated value of £150-200. It in fact sold for £205,000, although it is thought by experts to be a Titian and its true market value several million pounds.


• In July, the metal detectorist Terry Herbert unearthed the "Staffordshire Hoard" - which at 1,500 pieces, is the biggest cache of Anglo Saxon metalwork ever discovered.
