For opponents it bordered on 'fanaticism'. 26. In the south of England the Quakers were often the only group supporting temperance. See Life of William Gregson, J. G. Shaw (Blackburn, 1891) for the story of a northern teetotaller hired by Quakers in Brighton for work among the poor. 27. Many Friends bought large numbers of temperance tracts and then hired a working-class man to distribute them. William Wilson ofBradford paid for 250 Notes and Riferences half a million tracts and hired Thomas Worsnop to distribute them (F. Butterfield, The Life and Sayings of Thomas Worsnop the Great Apostle of Total Abstinence in the North of England (Bingley, 1870) p. 17). 28.

Sam Couling, History of the Temperance Movement (London, 1862) p. 54 disagreed with this usually accepted version of the birth of teetotalism. He believed the movement orginated in Scotland in the Dunfermline Temperance Society. 3. Preston Temperance Advocate, November 1836. The use of the lifeboat throughout the nineteenth century was popular. In parades there was often a float depicting a lifeboat with the crew of temperance men, ready 'to rescue those drowning in drink'. The Independent Order of the Good Templars (see below, Chapter 7), as a work of charity, bought a lifeboat and gave it to one of the fishing ports. At temperance entertainments, which became very popular in the last three decades of the century, temperance men would dress up as a lifeboat crew and sing songs about rescuing the intemperate.

  • A Short History of Bradford College
    A short history of Bradford College Genes from the past The past holds the secret to the genetic ingredients that have created the unique institution that is Bradford College today… Bradford could be said to succeed on its ability to utilise four resources: its Broad Ford beck and tributary streams of soft water, which contributed to the cottage industry of weaving within its natural valley; its largely poor people who from five years of age upwards were the backbone of its labour resources within that industry;its pioneers who led the country in welfare and educational reform; its “useful men” – with the capital to captain industry and the foresightedness to maximise on and develop the potential of canal, rail, steam and power machines that galvanised the industrial revolution. But there is much more to “Worstedopolis” as Bradford was known when it was the capital and centre of the world stage in the production of worsted textiles and the story of its College is not rooted in textile enterprise alone. Bradford had other resources from the outset– stone from its quarries and iron from its seams at Bowling and Low Moor, to the extent that the “Best Yorkshire” iron was in full use at Trafalgar, Waterloo and the Crimea. Bradford was ripe territory for engineers and inventors who automated the production of the woollen processes. Bradford has also made its name in areas that range from automobile production to artificial limb design. All of these strands are evident in the very earliest portfolio on offer – and many survive today. Once technical training emerged, it began – then as today - to deliver the skills that employers and markets require - but whilst Bradford buildings in their locally quarried golden stone rose around the slums, a world of financial “haves” and “have nots” poured into the town.

  • Adventures in Maritime Quackery: the Leslie E. Keeley Gold Cure Institute of Fredericton, N.B.*
    CHERYL KRASNICK WARSH Adventures in Maritime Quackery: The Leslie E. Keeley Gold Cure Institute of Fredericton, N.B.* MY PAPA'S AWFUL HAPPY NOW, and mama's happy, too, Because my papa doesn't drink the way he used to do... [My mama] laughs just like we girls and never cries a mite, And sings such pretty little songs — since papa's been to Dwight.1 On 2 October 1894, a respectable sampling of the Frederictonian elite incorporated a joint stock company. These gentlemen had entered into other business and philanthropic ventures previously, including the city's Victoria Hospital and the Deaf and Dumb Institute. What was notable about this meeting was that they were investing in an enterprise which had been condemned by the medical establishment as "unmitigated charlatanry" and "quackery". Yet clergymen, temperance reformers and concerned lay people were heralding it as the saviour of North American society and the harnessing of modern science for the public welfare. This very controversial enterprise was the Leslie E. Keeley Gold Cure Institute for the Treatment of Inebriates. Its establishment in Fredericton was a first for the Maritime provinces. A short 18 months after its incorporation, however, the company was bankrupt, scandal- ridden, and an episode its founders preferred to forget. The Keeley movement in North America, which provided great riches for its founders, sobriety to some of its followers, and blindness and pain to a few unfortunates, is simple to dismiss as an isolated example of 19th century greed and credulity. However, as even its detractors admitted, the system was successful for a great many alcoholics.

  • The Pictured Child in Victorian Philanthropy 1869-1908 Heather
    The pictured child in Victorian philanthropy 1869-1908 HeatherParis April 2001 Submitted for the award of PhD Awarding body: University of Central Lancashire Total numberof volumes:2 Volume I of 2 Abstract This study sets out to investigate the nature of the Victorian child's standing in society using pictorial means. It takes the view that the picture, or visual image, has something important to tell us about attitudes towards childhood, and how children were regarded as a group, between 1869 and 1908. As a piece of scholarship, it is situated between the disciplines of art history and social history. Little work has been done on the child's visual representation, and its contribution to the historical record. The rich visual material that forms part of the archive of Victorian philanthropy in general, and temperance in particular, remains largely untapped. The study is a response to this scholarly neglect, with the uses made by charity of the pictured child forming its central site of inquiry. Philanthropic images of childhood will be set in their pictorial context by reference to their appearance in other parts of the public domain. The history of the relationship between adults and children has been called `age relations' by one historian. This study will apply general and specific practical approaches, drawn from critical visual techniques, to age relations, leading to an interpretation of how Victorian childhood was pictured for its audiences. Images will be approached as pictorial puzzles, and priority will be given to those solutions which formed part of the historical record. The main analytical tool to be usedis adoptedfrom critical theory's notion of the metapicture.

  • Enregisterment in Historical Contexts
    0 Enregisterment in Historical Contexts: A Framework Paul Stephen Cooper A thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics February 2013 1 ABSTRACT In this thesis I discuss how the phenomena of indexicality and enregisterment (Silverstein 2003; Agha 2003) can be observed and studied in historical contexts via the use of historical textual data. I present a framework for the study of historical enregisterment which compares data from corpora of both nineteenth-century and modern Yorkshire dialect material, and the results of an online survey of current speakers so as to ascertain the validity of the corpus data and to use ‘the present to explain the past’ (Labov 1977:226). This framework allows for the identification of enregistered repertoires of Yorkshire dialect in both the twenty-first and nineteenth centuries. This is achieved by combining elicited metapragmatic judgements and examples of dialect features from the online survey with quantitative frequency analysis of linguistic features from Yorkshire dialect literature and literary dialect (Shorrocks 1996) and qualitative metapragmatic discourse (Johnstone et al 2006) from sources such as dialect dictionaries, dialect grammars, travel writing, and glossaries. I suggest that processes of enregisterment may operate along a continuum and that linguistic features may become ‘deregistered’ as representative of a particular variety; I also suggest that features may become ‘deregistered’ to the point of becoming ‘fossil forms’, which is more closely related to Labov’s (1972) definition of the ultimate fate of a linguistic stereotype. I address the following research questions: 1.

For this digest of facts in regard to the progress of woman in Wisconsin we are indebted to Dr. Laura Ross Wolcott, who was probably the first woman to practice medicine in a Western State. She was in Philadelphia during all the contest about the admission of women to hospitals and mixed classes, maintained her dignity and self-respect in the midst of most aggravating persecutions, and was graduated with high honors in from the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, of which Ann Preston, M. D., was professor for nineteen years, six years dean of the faculty, and four years member of the board of incorporators. After graduation Laura Ross spent two years in study abroad, and, returning, commenced practice in Milwaukee, where she has been ever since. By an act of Congress approved May , , Wisconsin was admitted to the Union. Its diversity of soil and timber, the healthfulness of its climate and the purity of its waters, attracted people from the New England and Middle States, who brought with them fixed notions as to moral conduct and political action, and no little repugnance to many of the features of the old common law.
