  • The Monetary Foundations of Britain's Early 19Th Century Ascendency
    The Monetary Foundations of Britain’s th Early 19 Century Ascendency Carolyn Sissoko University of the West of England (UWE), Bristol Economics Working Paper Series 1906 1 The Monetary Foundations of Britain’s Early 19th Century Ascendency Carolyn Sissoko* First Draft: June 18, 2018 This Draft: September 11, 2019 Abstract: This paper argues that Britain’s monetary system at the start of the Napoleonic Wars was substantially different from its monetary system at their end, and that the Restriction and the Bank of England’s discount policy during the Restriction played a determining role in the transformation of the monetary system. Specifically, I argue that Britain’s monetary system through the second half of the 18th century was built on transaction-based credit, and that by the end of the war this monetary system had been transformed into one based on personal credit. I find that the Bullion Committee deliberately reset the public’s inflation expectations in order to stabilize the monetary system. And that the Bank was acting as a lender of last resort with an explicit duty to support commercial interests in the crisis of 1810-11. Key words: Bank of England, lender of last resort, discount market, real bills, bullion controversy, monetary policy JEL codes: E58, N13, N23 * I thank Charles Goodhart for his very helpful comments. All errors are of course my own. Author affiliation: University of the West of England; Author email: [email protected] 2 Introduction The Bank of England has put all the minutes of the meetings of its Court of Directors online including those from its earliest years.

  • C DFTF Documents Relating to the Terry Family, Hull 1743-1866
    Hull History Centre: Documents relating to the Terry family, Hull C DFTF Documents relating to the Terry family, Hull 1743-1866 Accession number: 18/21 Historical Background: Richard Terry (c. 1740-1804) was a Hull shipowner who married Ann[e] Avison in the autumn of 1767. Ann's father was William Avison, organist at Holy Trinity, Hull (1720-1751) and her Uncle, Charles Avison, was organist of Newcastle Cathedral and a well known composer (1709-1770). One of Richard and Anne's sons was Avison Terry who served Hull twice as Mayor (1827 & 1829) and once as Sheriff (1813). He was also responsible for raising public subscription for the building of St. John's Church, Newland. Avison Terry had two brothers, John, who was in the family business and Edward, who joined the East India Company and ran up massive debts which his father had to pay off when he was killed in a shipwreck in the China Sea. Custodial history: These records were deposited with Hull City Archives at the Hull History Centre in Sep 2018 by Mr Michael Leonard-Williams of Plymouth, Devon and his co depositors; Mr John Scott & Mrs Lucy Shields. All are descendants of Avison Terry. Mr Leonard-Williams has transcribed most of the letters in C DFTF/1-6 (C SRL/T/46) and is keen that they can be accessed by anyone interested in studying the development of the church in Hull and the rest of Yorkshire as well as the Evangelical movement during the 18th and 19th centuries. The collection could also be useful in telling us more about merchant family relationships in Hull as well as helping to shed light on the many battles for social reform and philanthropic causes that took place during this time, including William Wilberforce’s campaign to end slavery.

While the move- ment of the Encrlish and Welsh Quakers to Pennsylvania has been treated to some extent by historians, that of the Irish Quakers has been overlooked, and it was with the hope of filling, in a measure, this deficiency that the present work was undertaken. It has been my endeavor to give a plain, orderly presentation of the facts, without embellishment and I have deemed it of greater interest to let the contemporary records, as much as possible, tell their own story.
