One of the best TH-cam channel. For me, it's a dream come true to visit The Royal Society, And meet Sir Keith.
Assuming he had a 50 year career, except for 5 days a year, he conducted on average one funeral service every day!
who else can't wait for the unofficial official HI banana holder!!
I think The 'Banana holder' is a purse - but the style is earlier and used in the eighteenth century by men who wore breeches. Nelson had one just like this but without the embroidery.
3:24 - For a moment I had a flash of Chris Walken in Pulp Fiction.
I sew. It's very good stitching, but not fine cloth as far as I can see from here. Or am I wrong? It definitely seems to be for practical use. I wish I knew what it was for. I haven't seen anything like it before in my books.
What a beautiful watch.
Isn't that portrait at the 15-second mark Henry Stebbing (1687-1763), rather than the unrelated younger Henry Stebbing (1799-1883) who would've been alive to receive a gift in 1854? Too many Stebbings! Great video either way!
No, it's HENRY Stebbing!
In case anyone is interested in the actual book, "Essays on Darwinism", I found it available for free as an eBook from Kobo.

You never allow his standing and holding these watches above the tables and floors like that! He should only be allowed to sit at a table with padding's with elbows anchored and tilt or hold something at the surface level! ):
Brady, your new hair is nice and all...but I'd like you to have the same kind as Keith's next time.
How is the text-outline effect done? I doubt edge-detection algorithms would be satisfactory on engravings, so is it done by hand? It's very neat and helpful.
salmjak I agree! The Periodic Videos episode of World's Greatest Autograph Book uses it quite a bit. One of my favorite videos, with Keith and Prof. Poliakov.
salmjak what I think is, a bit of Photoshop. Use of levels to brighten it to white(paper), remove the white and now you just have the text. Apply and outer glow on the parts that needs highlight and bam. Of course there's probably other ways of doing this but this is a simple one, two thing so maybe.
It is clearly a decorative display codpiece. For their is nothing more holy than a holy man's crocheted crotch, complete with bronze embroidery.
+Objectivity Did the "banana holder" cinch on one end, or was the opening along the length of the back?
Woah, 18000 funerals? That's 2 per day for 25 years!
I just watched a five minute ad for Hyundai, because they were talking and redoing Shackleton's Antarctic expedition!
banana holder? Brady, we know what you were really thinking.....
A glasses case, of course!
18000 funerals in 25 years averages out at two per day. People died a lot back then.
Seriously guys... Any ideas what that object is?! :)
Well, you know, back in the day the were very innovative when coming up with materials for condoms...
It looks a bit like Bananagrams... But my initial guesses were glasses case or a coin purse of some sort.
Objectivity - I was thinking a pipe bag, maybe? Was he a pipe smoker?

Give it a sniff, if it smells like bananas, it was a banana holder.
The other thing that would fit is a bit unmentionable here. 🤔
if it was 3/4 full of dried peas/beans could it be for holding open his Bible on the lectern? or any other manuscript for that matter.
Thanks Brady!
Fresh haircut, Brady! Keep up the awesome videos.
They also gave him 325 guineas, which would have amounted to something like 5 years of wages for a skilled craftsman.
25 years is 9131.0625 days...This Rev would be performing an average of 1.9713 funeral services each day

Is that a banana in your holder or are you just happy to see me?
The banana holder is nice but that watch is beautiful :-)
18,000 funerals? Thats two a day!
Why save the book for last? That was the most interesting thing in the video!
I hate to break it to you Brady, but there is already such a thing as a banana holder... it's called the banana peel.
Is Mr. Haran suggesting the item is a Banana Hammock of sorts?
Am I the only one who thought of Christopher Walken when the letters about how they got the watch was discussed?
You never allow his standing and holding these watches above the tables and floors like that! He should only be allowed to sit at a table with padding's with elbows anchored and tilt or hold something at the surface level! ):
I see lots of jokes about the reverend needing his banana held, but where are the comments about his enthusiasm for happy hour? Seems like a, erm, complicated man.
The first item is a highly nonfunctional prophylactic.
wow. 18 thousand funeral services over 25 years is an average of 2 every single day.
Nice watch for $38!
I personally think its a marble holder
Snapchat sent me!
+Devanshi Mer :)
SNAPCHAT SENT ME
Anyone have an idea of the meaning behind the inscription on the watch? 'May I number, numbered happy hours'
Making a point to only focus on the good times, and not the bad.
42nd!
Sent by snapchat! :D
Wait, Keith isn't a member of the society?
He's the librarian, not a _Fellow_.
I know he's the head librarian, I just thought he was also a fellow.
He's a jolly good fellow.
If you ask me objectivity is rather subjective towards the royal society smh
It's a pun. They look at objects from a group of scientists.
I don't like that Tomas guy
I can't watch Objectivy anymore beacuse of Brady's manipulatation of those old valuable objects in that way.. I don't know if is all okay actually but it makes me sweat always

Yeeeey new vid!!1
