The Patronage and Collecting of Aletheia, Countess of Arundel, 1606-54, by David Howarth, published 1998 in Journal of the History of Collections (vol. 10, issue 2, article, pp.125-137)
Aletheia Talbot (d 1654) married Thomas Howard, 2nd Earl of Arundel in 1606 Arundel was later to be described as the 'father of verlu in England' by Horace Walpole. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the contribution of Lady Arundel to the Arundel collection, the first in Britain to combine Renaissance paintings of the European schools with Greek and Roman antiquities. The issue of how and what Lady Arundel contributed is approached by describing how she acted independently of her husband as patroness and collector, particularly in relation to her extensive travels in Europe when she was without her husband, and at the end of their lives when they lived separately in exile - she in the Low Countries and he in Italy. The difficulties of defining Lady Arundel's own tastes, and identifying what part of the Arundel collection can be regarded as specifically hers, are also raised.

Abstract:In Water Resources Plan submissions to the Environment Agency in 1999, water companies predicted increases in demand over the next twenty-five years. With significant environmental and economic constraints on new resource developments, attention has focused upon the potential savings that water-efficiency measures can achieve.
The use of water for toilet flushing accounts for about 30% of household consumption, thereby offering considerable potential for water saving. The conversion of existing single-flush siphonic cisterns to dual-flush operation could be one method of achieving a desired reduction in water use, in accordance with the 'twin-track' approach to balancing supply and demand.
This small study, which was jointly funded by Southern Water and the Environment Agency, sought to measure the effectiveness of dual-flush toilets in reducing water consumption through an eight-month study of five retrofit devices which were installed in thirty-three unmetered domestic properties in West Sussex.
