For those of you who missed it the URL of this article was mentioned in the Sunday Times (London) (October 13, 2002) review of Ann Thwaite new book on Philip Henry Gosse . -- Imran
she died a painful death at their London home, and was no longer able to assist with her husband's trips
Does anyone else think that's an odd sentence? -- Michael K. Smith 23:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Need to add explanation of his theory of Prochronism.
My profound respect for the stunning intellect and talent of Phillip Henry Gosse is reinforced by the knowledge that his brother William, his son Edmund, and his grandson Phillip were ALL brilliant talents in their own right. Brains must be hereditary. Duncan Howell Dec 31/05 ...duncan.howell@nf.sympatico.ca
John, would you agree that if I called someone a keep-fit fanatic (for example) it would be at least as revealing about my standpoint as theirs? If so you can see where I'm coming from on NPOV. I'd be happy to give way on 'despotic' as that's more concrete. A despot might be made to accept that he's despotic, but fanaticism, being always pejorative, is in the eye of the beholder. Can we find our way to a consensus on this? Maybe 'portrayed as a despotic father of uncompromising religious views'? asnac ( talk) 15:05, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
According to the zoological society of London (which runs the zoo), it was originally referred to as an "aquatic vivarium" [1] (and more colloquially, at least at first, the "Fish House"). Later, Gosse used a combination of the two words, and called it an "aquarium", which displeased some, because that already had a meaning in Latin as "a watering place for cattle".
