Richard Clement Moody

Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia, being the Commanding Executive Officer of Malta during the Crimean War and being the first British Governor of the Falkland Islands
.

Moody, who is considered to be the founding father of

Coat of Arms of British Columbia.[7][8] Port Moody
in British Columbia, and Moody Park and Moody Square in New Westminster, are named after him.

He was also the first

Port Stanley. Moody Brook in the Falkland Islands is named after him. Moody Point in Antarctica
is also named after him.

Moody was a polymath who excelled in engineering, architecture, music and science. He planned the restoration of Edinburgh Castle using musical chords, for which he was summoned to Windsor Castle for commendation by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.[1][9] He has been described as 'a visionary in a plain land' and 'a man who could conceive of Edinburgh Castle in terms of a musical score'.[10]

Birth and ancestry

Richard Clement was born, in 1813, at St. Ann's Garrison, Bridgetown, Barbados.

Richard Clement Moody was born, on 13 February 1813,

MICE.[23][24][25] His paternal grandmother was Barbara Blamire of Cumberland who was a cousin of the MP William Blamire and of the poet Susanna Blamire.[26]

Education

Richard Clement Moody became Head of School at Royal Military Academy, Woolwich at 15 years of age.

Richard Clement Moody was educated by private tutors[16] before he enrolled, when he was aged 14 years, in the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, at which he was a Gentleman Cadet[7] who became Head of School in his second year and graduated in his third year. Like his father,[15] and like his brother Hampden Clement Blamire Moody,[27] Richard Clement Moody was a polymath who excelled in engineering, and in architecture, and in music, and in science. He planned the restoration of Edinburgh Castle using musical chords.[1]

Overview of military and civil career

Richard Clement trained on the

Major-General in 1866.[16][12][28]

Moody served with the Ordnance Survey in Ireland from 1832[16] to 1833.[12] He served on St. Vincent from October 1833[12][16] to September 1837,[12] and, subsequently, on a tour the United States, with Sir Charles Felix Smith, from 1837[12] to 1838.[12][16] On his return from the USA, Moody was stationed at Devonport.[12] Moody served as Professor of Fortifications at Royal Military Academy, Woolwich from July 1838[12] to October 1841.[29][12][16]

Moody was in October 1841 appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the Falkland-Islands: this office was renamed Governor of the Falkland Islands in 1843, when he also became Commander-in-Chief of the Falkland Islands. He served in these offices until July 1848, when he left Stanley, and arrived in England in February 1849.[16][12] Moody in 1848 received the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Military Merit of France.[30][31]

He served as an

Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1852, as which he served until 1854.[16][12] Moody was Executive Officer at Malta, during 1854, during the Crimean War, but was compelled to resign from this post in May 1855[12] as a consequence of insufficient health.[16] He toured Germany[12] before his appointment as Commander of the Royal Engineers in Scotland in November 1855.[12][16]

Moody was appointed the Commander of the

Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia, from December 1858 to July 1863.[12][11]

Moody arrived in England, from British Columbia, in December 1863.

Major-General, and he retired from the British Army, on full pay, later that month.[12] Moody then served as a Municipal Commissioner,[12] and expended his time between the learned societies of which he was a member.[16]

Moody was elected an Associate of the

Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and a Member of the Royal Agricultural Society, and an Honorary Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects.[16][1] Moody in 1848 received the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Military Merit of France.[30][31]

Moody during his retirement lived at Caynham Court, Ludlow, Shropshire and later at Fairfield House, Charmouth, Lyme Regis.[29][12] His friends included the politician and novelist Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton,[32] and the biologist Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker.[33] Richard Clement Moody died at the Royal Bath Hotel, Bournemouth on 31 March 1887,[12] whilst visiting Bournemouth with his daughter,[16] and was buried at St Peter's Church, Bournemouth.[29] He was not able to fulfil his intention to return to British Columbia. He left over £24,000 in money, a vast sum in the Victorian age, in addition to his estates.[16]

Governor of the Falkland Islands (October 1841 – July 1848)

Settlement

In 1833 the United Kingdom asserted authority over the Falkland Islands. In 1841, Moody, aged only 28 years, was appointed, on the recommendation of

Lord John Russell to exercise an authority of 'influence, persuasion, and example'.[16] Moody left England, for Falkland, on 9 October 1842.[16] When Moody arrived, on board the Hebe,[35] at Port Louis on 16 January 1842,[16] the Falklands was 'almost in a state of anarchy', but he used his powers 'with great wisdom and moderation'[12][1] to develop the Islands' infrastructure.[16]

During his first years on the Islands, Moody's only social equal was his secretary, Murrell Robinson Robinson [sic], a surveyor and engineer, who was the nephew of one of Moody's tutors.[36] Moody appointed Robinson as a JP in 1843. However, Moody and Robinson had an altercation in March 1845 in which Moody banished Murrell from the Islands, telling Robinson to set out 'axe in hand' for some other colony.[36]

Moody completed a comprehensive General Report of the Falkland Islands for the British Government: it was completed on 14 April 1842 and was sent to London on 3 May.[16] In his General Report, Moody recommended that the Government encourage settlers and promote extensive sheep farming. He estimated the population of sheep to be 40,000 in 1842 and encouraged the Government to import quality stock from Britain to be crossed with the local breeds: this policy was implemented to considerable success and was adopted by future settlers.[34]

The botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker, who arrived on the Islands with the expedition of Sir James Clark Ross, described Moody as 'a very active and intelligent young man, most anxious to improve the colony and gain every information [sic] respecting its products'. Moody granted Hooker full use of his personal library, which Hooker described as 'excellent',[37] and the two developed a close friendship.[33]

Moody's refusal to acquiesce to George Thomas Whitington's attempt to force Moody to travel to the Falkland Islands in Whitington's brig Alarm provoked a feud between the Moody family and the Whitington family (the latter of which included John Bull Whitington in the Falkland Islands) that continued throughout Moody's tenure as Governor of the Falkland Islands. Whitington criticised Moody in the Colonial Magazine of November 1844.[16]

The Foundation of Stanley

Almost directly after Moody's arrival in 1842 the

Port Stanley after Lord Stanley, Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, and founded and developed the city, to which he moved his administration moved in 1845.[16]
Moody designed Government House in Stanley, although his design was only completed in 1850, one year after he had returned to England. Sir James Ross subsequently named Moody Point, off Joinville Island in Antarctica, after Richard Clement Moody.[39]

In Falkland, Moody levied a tax on alcohol, without any authorisation from London, and, because there was a lack of currency on the island, issued his own currency, of promissory notes, also without authorisation from London. Both measures resolved immediate problems on the Islands, but Moody was criticized in Parliament, by Sir William Molesworth, 8th Baronet, for the latter.[16]

In June 1843, when Moody's office was renamed 'Governor' (from Lieutenant-Governor), Moody was instructed by the Colonial Office to establish a colonial administration with a Legislative Council and an Executive Council.[16] The records of Moody's 'conscientious' and 'impressive' administration of Falkland are held in the Jane Cameron National Archives in Stanley.[34]

Moody enacted laws, collected duties and taxes, and enforced order. He asked the British authorities for a doctor, a magistrate, and a chaplain: all three were dispatched, the latter being Richard Clement's brother, James Leith Moody,[19] who arrived in October 1845, proved himself to be 'querulous and eccentric', and engaged in a feud with his brother.[16] Richard Clement established residences, Government offices, a barracks, a new road system, docks, a court of law, a gaol, a school, a church, a graveyard, and a police force.[16] He established the requested Executive Council and a Legislative Council in 1845, each consisting of British officials, merchants, and local landowners.[34][16] Moody's activities were impeded by the incompetence of several members of his administration, and he dismissed several of them.[16] When during 1846 Moody's father Thomas was posted, from the Colonial Office, to Guernsey, and Henry Grey, 3rd Earl Grey became Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, the Colonial Office became less sympathetic to Moody.[16]

Moody repudiated the original settlers of the Islands, but praised his Royal Engineers: he wrote, our community... chiefly composed of men of the lowest class, formerly seamen in whale ships & sealers, foreigners and Spanish gauchos... the only persons opposed to such wretched material for the formation of a colony are the 5 or 6 gentlemen and the detachment of Royal Sappers and Miners.[16]

Militia

In 1845, animosity on the River Plate between the British and the French fleets and the Argentine Government of Juan Manuel de Rosas provoked Moody to request an artillery contingent from Britain and to raise his own militia using his Royal Engineers to train the local population. In 1891, the militia founded by Moody was renamed the Falkland Islands Volunteer Force: it was later renamed again to the Falkland Islands Defence Force, and it saw action in both World Wars and during the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands in 1982,[34] when, coincidentally, one of the focal points of the Argentine offensive was Moody Brook, named after Richard Clement.

Permanent infrastructure

Moody's authority provoked antipathy in his subordinates, especially his inequable brother James Leith, the Chaplain to the British Force in the Islands. However, from the perspective of the British Government, Richard Clement Moody's tenure was a success, the consequence of which has been 180 years of British administration of the islands.[34]

In 1994, to mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of Stanley, Moody, together with James Clark Ross and Lord Stanley, was commemorated on the Falkland Islands stamps issued.

Princess Anne.[35] Moody Brook is named after Richard Clement.[40]

In 1845 Moody introduced tussock grass into Great Britain from Falkland, for which he received the gold medal of the Royal Agricultural Society.[12][40] Moody wrote an account of tussock grass in the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society (IV.17, V.50,VII.73).[12] The Coat of arms of the Falkland Islands notably includes an image of tussock grass.[41]

Moody left the Falkland Islands, for England, on HM Transport Nautilus, in July 1848.[16] Moody arrived in England in February 1849.[40][12]

Britain and Malta (February 1849 - October 1858)

Moody in 1848 received the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Military Merit of France.[30][31] He served as an aide-de-camp to the British Colonial Office, on special service, from August 1849.[16] During this period, Richard Clement tended to his father, Colonel Thomas Moody, Kt.[29]

Richard Clement Moody served at

Regimental Colonel on 8 December 1853.[12]

Moody was appointed Executive Officer of

Yellow Fever[16] to resign from his post in May 1855.[12]

He toured Germany[12] before his appointment as Commander of the Royal Engineers in Scotland in November 1855, as which he served until October 1858.[12][16] Moody was in Scotland involved in architectural projects,[16] and enjoyed the intellectual society of Edinburgh[16] where he met some of the most learned men of Scotland in science and in the arts.[1]

Musical Plan for Edinburgh Castle and Queen Victoria

Whilst in Germany, after his resignation from his office at Malta, Moody composed plans for the restoration of

Lord Panmure and they were never implemented. They are retained at the War Office, where 'they still remain a memorial to Moody's talent'.[1]

Founder and first Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia (October 1858 - July 1863)

Selection

Moody was the founder of British Columbia

When news of the

Colony of British Columbia (1858–66) into the British Empire's 'bulwark in the farthest west'[42] and 'found a second England on the shores of the Pacific'.[32][2] Lytton desired to send to the colony 'representatives of the best of British culture, not just a police force': men who possessed 'courtesy, high breeding and urbane knowledge of the world'[3] such as Moody, whom the Government considered to be the archetypal 'English gentleman and British Officer'[4] to command the Royal Engineers, Columbia Detachment. Moody's brother, Colonel Hampden Clement Blamire Moody, had already served with the Royal Engineers in British Columbia, from 1840 to 1848,[43] to such success that he was subsequently granted command of the Regiment across the entirety of China.[44]

Richard Clement Moody and his wife Mary Hawks, (of the

Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia and appointed Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works for British Columbia.[16]

Ned McGowan's War

Moody had hoped to begin immediately the foundation of a capital city, but on his arrival at Fort Langley, he learned of an insurrection at the settlement of Hill's Bar by a notorious outlaw, Ned McGowan, and some restive gold miners.[16] Moody repressed the rebellion, which became popularly known as 'Ned McGowan's War', without loss of life.[16] Moody described the incident:

The notorious Ned McGowan, of Californian celebrity at the head of a band of Yankee Rowdies defying the law! Every peaceable citizen frightened out of his wits!—Summons & warrants laughed to scorn! A Magistrate seized while on the Bench, & brought to the Rebel's camp, tried, condemned, & heavily fined! A man shot dead shortly before! Such a tale to welcome me at the close of a day of great enjoyment.[45]

Moody described the response to his success: 'They gave me a Salute, firing off their loaded Revolvers over my head—Pleasant—Balls whistling over one's head! as a compliment! Suppose a hand had dropped by accident! I stood up, & raised my cap & thanked them in the Queen's name for their loyal reception of me'.[46]

Moody designed the first Coat of arms of British Columbia

Foundation of New Westminster

In British Columbia, Moody 'wanted to build a city of beauty in the wilderness' and planned his city as an iconic visual metaphor for British dominance, 'styled and located with the objective of reinforcing the authority of the Crown and of the robe'.[47] Subsequent to the enactment of the Pre-emption Act of 1860, Moody settled the Lower Mainland. He founded the new capital city, New Westminster,[16][12] at a site of dense forest of Douglas pine[12] that he selected for its strategic excellence, including the quality of its port.[47] He, in his letter to his friend Arthur Blackwood of the Colonial Office, dated 1 February 1859, described the majestic beauty of the site:[48][4]

"The entrance to the Frazer is very striking--Extending miles to the right & left are low marsh lands (apparently of very rich qualities) & yet fr the Background of Superb Mountains- Swiss in outline, dark in woods, grandly towering into the clouds there is a sublimity that deeply impresses you. Everything is large and magnificent, worthy of the entrance to the Queen of England's dominions on the Pacific mainland. [...] My imagination converted the silent marshes into Cuyp-like pictures of horses and cattle lazily fattening in rich meadows in a glowing sunset. [...] The water of the deep clear Frazer was of a glassy stillness, not a ripple before us, except when a fish rose to the surface or broods of wild ducks fluttered away".[48][49]

Moody designed the roads and the settlements of New Westminster,

Burnaby Lake after his secretary Robert Burnaby, and he named Port Coquitlam's 400-foot 'Mary Hill' after his wife Mary Hawks. Moody designed the first Coat of arms of British Columbia.[7][8] Richard Clement Moody established Port Moody, which was subsequently named after him, at the end of the trail that connected New Westminster with Burrard Inlet, to defend New Westminster from potential attack from the United States.[12] Moody also established a town at Hastings which was later incorporated into Vancouver.[50]

The British designated multiple tracts as government reserves. The Pre-emption Act did not specify conditions for the distribution of the land, and, consequently, large areas were bought by speculators.[7] Moody requisitioned 3,750 acres (sc. 1,517 hectares) for himself,[7] and, on this land, he subsequently built for himself, and owned, Mayfield, a model farm near New Westminster.[50] Moody was criticised by journalists for land grabbing,[7] but his requisitions were ordered by the Colonial Office,[16] and Moody throughout his tenure in British Columbia received the approbation of the British authorities in London,[12] and was in British Columbia described as 'the real father of New Westminster'.[5] However, Lord Lytton, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, 'forgot the practicalities of paying for clearing and developing the site and the town' and the efforts of Moody's Engineers were continually impeded by insufficient funds, which, together with the continuous opposition of Governor Douglas, whom Sir Thomas Frederick Elliot (1808 - 1880) described as 'like any other fraud',[51] 'made it impossible for [Moody's] design to be fulfilled'.[52]

Moody's 5th, 6th, and 7th children, all daughters, were born at Government House in New Westminster. He is thought to have also fathered at least two illegitimate children with his Native American housekeeper.[16]

Feud with Governor Douglas

Throughout his tenure in British Columbia, Moody feuded with

merchant banking family.[56] Mary Moody wrote, on 4 August 1859, 'it is not pleasant to serve under a Hudson's Bay Factor', and that the 'Governor and Richard can never get on'.[57] John Robson, who was the editor of the British Columbian, wanted Richard Clement Moody's office to include that of Governor of British Columbia, and to thereby make obsolete Douglas.[7] In letter to the Colonial Office of 27 December 1858, Richard Clement Moody states that he has 'entirely disarmed [Douglas] of all jealously'.[58] Douglas repeatedly insulted the Royal Engineers by attempting to assume their command[59] and refusing to acknowledge their contribution to the nascent colony.[60]

Margaret A. Ormsby, who was the author of the Dictionary of Canadian Biography entry for Moody (2002), unpopularly censures Moody for the abortive development of the New Westminster.[7] However, most significant historians commend Moody's contribution and exonerate Moody from culpability for the abortive development of New Westminster, especially with regard to the perpetual insufficiency of funds and of the personally motivated opposition by Douglas that continually delayed the development of British Columbia.[61] Robert Burnaby observed that Douglas proceeded with 'muddling [Moody's] work and doubling his expenditure'[53] and with employing administrators to 'work a crooked policy against Moody' to 'retard British Columbia and build up... the stronghold of Hudson's Bay interests' and their own 'landed stake'.[62] Therefore, Robert Edgar Cail,[63] Don W. Thomson,[64] Ishiguro, and Scott commended Moody for his contribution, and Scott accused Ormsby of being 'adamant in her dislike of Colonel Moody' despite the majority of evidence,[65] and almost all other biographies of Moody, including that by the Institution of Civil Engineers, and that by the Royal Engineers, and that by the British Columbia Historical Association, commend Moody's achievements in British Columbia.

The Royal Engineers, Columbia Detachment was disbanded in July 1863. The Moody family (which now consisted of Moody, and his wife, and seven legitimate children)[16] and the 22 Royal Engineers who wished to return to England, who had 8 wives between them, departed for England.[16] 130 of the original Columbia Detachment decided to remain in British Columbia.[7] Scott contends that the dissolution of the Columbia Detachment, and the consequent departure of Moody, 'doomed' the development of the settlement and the realisation of Lord Lytton's dream.[66] A vast congregation of New Westminster citizens gathered at the dock to bid farewell to Moody as his boat departed for England. Moody wanted to return to British Columbia, but he died before he was able to do so.[67] Moody left his library behind, in New Westminster, to become the public library of New Westminster.[16][7]

In April 1863, the Councillors of New Westminster decreed that 20 acres should be reserved and named Moody Square after Richard Clement Moody. The area around Moody Square that was completed only in 1889 has also been named Moody Park after Moody.

Princess Margaret on 23 July 1958. In 1984, on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of New Westminster, a monument of Richard Clement Moody, at the entrance of the park, was unveiled by Mayor Tom Baker.[69] For Moody's achievements in the Falkland Islands and in British Columbia, British diplomat David Tatham CMG, who served as Governor of the Falkland Islands, described Moody as an 'Empire builder'.[16] In January 2014, with the support of the Friends of the British Columbia Archives and of the Royal British Columbia Museum Foundation, The Royal British Columbia Museum purchased a photograph album that had belonged to Richard Clement Moody. The album contains over 100 photographs of the early settlement of British Columbia, including some of the earliest known photographs of First Nations peoples.[70]

Marriage and issue

On 6 July 1852, at

merchant banking family. Mary Hawks's maternal uncles included Admiral Benedictus Marwood Kelly and industrialist Edward Fenwick Boyd.[56] After their marriage, Richard and Mary Moody embarked on a Grand Tour of Europe, including of France, and of Switzerland, and of Germany.[29]

Richard Clement Moody named the 400-foot hill in

Colony of British Columbia (1858–66), to her mother and to her sister, Emily Hawks, who were in England.[74] Mary Moody was highly erudite in English and in French literature, and her letters were of interest to scholars of British families during the Victorian period.[75][76][77]
Moody and Mary Hawks had 13 children.[78] Moody is thought to have also fathered at least two illegitimate children with his Native American housekeeper whom he left in British Columbia.[16] The 13 children of Moody and Mary Hawks were:[78]
