From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

  • U DX163 Thomasson Family Papers 1803-1981
    Hull History Centre: Thomasson Family Papers U DX163 Thomasson Family Papers 1803-1981 Biographical Background: The Thomassons were a family of cotton-spinners form Bolton who had successfully built up a thriving business during the nineteenth century. John Thomasson, who died in 1837, left one son Thomas (1808-76). He became President of the Bolton Liberal Asosciation, and in the middle years of the century a good friend and benefactor of Richard Cobden. His son John Pennington Thomasson (1840-1904), married John Bright's niece, Katherine Lucas, the daughter of Samuel Lucas, editor of the radical Morning Star (1856-69). J.P. Thomasson became a noted local dignitary and philanthropist, Liberal MP for Bolton from 1880-1885 and freeman of the borough in 1902. His son was Franklin Thomasson, born 16 August 1873. At nineteen he was made a manager in the family firm, and three years later he married Elizabeth Lawton, daughter of an American named Caleb Coffin. He tried several times, unsuccessfully, to enter parliament for different constituencies but was eventually successful in winning the seat for Leicester for the Liberal Party in a by-election in 1906. By this time the Tribune was well under way. The Liberal daily newspaper ran from 15 January 1906 until 7 February 1908. His parliamentary career was uneventful, cut short by the collapse of the Tribune, and he continued to sit in the House of Commons until he retired in 1910. Franklin Thomasson commanded the 25th Battalion Loyal North Lancashire Regiment during the First World War and died on 29 October 1941.

Dates: 1861-1932 (also Leader Family correspondence 1848-1890) Level: Fonds Extent: 23 boxes Name of creator: Anthony John Mundella Administrative / biographical history: The content of the papers is mainly political, and consists largely of the correspondence of Mundella, a prominent Liberal M.P. of the later 19th century who attained Cabinet rank. Also included in the collection are letters, not involving Mundella, of the family of Robert Leader, acquired by Mundella’s daughter Maria Theresa who intended to write a biography of her father, and transcriptions by Maria Theresa of correspondence between Mundella and Robert Leader, John Daniel Leader and another Sheffield Liberal M.P., Henry Joseph Wilson.

  • An Investigation Into British Neutrality During the American Civil War 1861-65
    AN INVESTIGATION INTO BRITISH NEUTRALITY DURING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR 1861-65 BY REBECCA CHRISTINE ROBERTS-GAWEN A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MA by Research Department of History University of Birmingham November 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis sought to investigate why the British retained their policy of neutrality throughout the American Civil War, 1861-65, and whether the lack of intervention suggested British apathy towards the conflict. It discovered that British intervention was possible in a number of instances, such as the Trent Affair of 1861, but deliberately obstructed Federal diplomacy, such as the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. This thesis suggests that the British public lacked substantial and sustained support for intervention. Some studies have suggested that the Union Blockade of Southern ports may have tempted British intervention. This thesis demonstrates how the British sought and implemented replacement cotton to support the British textile industry. This study also demonstrates that, by the outbreak of the Civil War, British society lacked substantial support for foreign abolitionists’’ campaigns, thus making American slavery a poorly supported reason for intervention.

Scharf (One-time Careers Officer, Institute of Shorthand Writers.) as published in The Journal of Legal History September 1989 This article is copied by the British Institute of Verbatim Reporters with the kind permission of both Harry Scharf and the original publishers, as noted here: 18/02/2003 via e-mail "We are pleased to grant you permission to use the article, free of charge, provided you grant acknowledgement of its source. Amna Whiston Publicity & Rights Executive Frank Cass Publishers" We have reformatted it to fit the web page, omitting the original page numbers. However, the BIVR cannot accept responsibility for the accuracy of any of the information contained therein. I Background In 1588 Dr. Timothy Bright published the first book in England on a shorthand system, which he termed a 'Characterie'. The following year he was granted a 15-year patent monopoly of publishing books on this system (See Appendixl).1 This was followed in 1590 by a work by Peter Bales called a 'Brachygraphy' from the Greek for shorthand. The object was to produce a verbatim simultaneous account. These publications preceded similar publication in the contemporary Europe. This may therefore be a good occasion to celebrate the centenary of a striking development which must have influenced law-reporting and the requirements of the modern system of judicial precedent. As law-reporters we are primarily concerned with the use of methods of perpetuating the oral elements in legal proceedings. These range from obscure mnemonic and idiosyncratic jottings which had to be quickly extended by their authors to complete contemporary accounts of all that was said.
