Bibliography of Primary Sources LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 1.11 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PRIMARY SOURCES NB For all secondary sources, see notes within each section. This bibliography of primary (pre-1914) sources distinguishes between manuscript and printed sources, incorporating all materials used in the creation of the LED in 1.11.1-7. In addition, metropolitan elections always generated numerous publications in the form of pamphlets and other literature, which have been used for contextual interpretation. These are too numerous to survey in complete detail here. But many sources have been incorporated in 1.11.8-10, as a guide to the range of materials available, including: caricatures, contemporary electoral histories, diaries, electoral propaganda, letters, maps, parliamentary papers, public speeches, and songs. A final section 1.11.11 indicates key electronic primary sources, whose number is growing daily with the advance of digitisation. The main headings are as follows: MANUSCRIPT PRIMARY SOURCES USED IN LED 1.11.1 Ms poll books 1.11.2 Rate and tax assessments 1.11.3 Other Ms lists 1.11.4 Contemporary papers PRINTED PRIMARY SOURCES USED IN LED 1.11.5 Printed poll books 1.11.6 Other printed lists 1.11.7 Parliamentary papers OTHER CONTEXTUAL SOURCES 1.11.8 Collections of printed primary sources 1.11.9 Other contemporary printed primary sources 1.11.10 Twentieth-century printed primary sources 1.11.11 Electronic primary sources 2 LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY MANUSCRIPT PRIMARY SOURCES 1.11.1 Ms poll books Alnwick Castle Muniments Room, Alnwick, Northumberland Middlesex election, 1715.

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.

Based on an examination of the correspondence of whig and radical polit- icians, and of the files of the morning Chronicle, it illustrates the impact which Perry made on the world of politics and journalism. The main questions discussed are how Perry responded, as a Foxite journalist, to the chief political issues of the day; the extent to which the whigs attempted to influence his editorial policy and the degree to which he reconciled his independence with obedience to their wishes4 the difficulties he encountered as the spokesman of an often divided party; his considerable involvement, which was remarkable for a journalist, in party activity and in the social life of whig politicians; and his success as a newspaper proprietor concerned not only with political propaganda, but with conducting a paper which was distinguished for the quality of its miscellaneous features and for its profitability as a business enterprise.

  • Classification of Candidates
    LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 7.2 CANDIDATES AND THE CLASSIFICATION OF VOTING BEHAVIOUR The key endeavour of much electoral analysis is to determine what kind of voter polled for what kind of candidate. The historian of the pre- reform electorate is fortunate in this respect in being able to know much more about almost every candidate1 than at any time before the contemporary period.2 Nomination of candidates took place at the hustings, immediately prior to the call for a show of hands by the returning officer. Some who may have sought election nonetheless withdrew from the contest, either following a disappointing canvass or following the show of hands. For the purposes of the LED only those who carried on to the next stage of the electoral process, in eighteenth-century parlance those who ‘stood the poll’, are deemed to have been candidates. Of those who stood the poll, some withdrew during the course of polling. Sometimes this would terminate the election, as when John Graham withdrew from the Westminster election of 1802, or when William Mellish withdrew from the Middlesex contest of 1820. In other cases the withdrawal of a candidate allowed others to continue the contest, although there was no mechanism for re-allocating those votes already given to the candidate who threw in the towel. Thus the withdrawal of William Pitt from the London election of 1784, after he had been nominated for a popular but uncertain seat without his consent, did not preclude a continuation of the contest between the remaining candidates. Even the death of John Hankey, the fifth candidate in the London contest of 1807, did not cause the poll to be terminated.

HERTZ* INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Studying the First World War's origins, James Joll (1918-1994), Professor of International History at the University of London, offered this insight: "In the late 20th century we perhaps find it easier to conceive of foreign policy as being motivated by domestic preoccupations and by economic interests than by... considerations of prestige and glory. It does not necessarily follow that the men of 1914 thought in the same way as we do."' To recapture that age which ended during the First World War, this essay analyzes the meaning of "honour" as a staple of European political philosophy. The significance of the "word of honour" is then located in the context of European courtly society, where a king's honour is explored in relation to that of his country and in the "international of kings" that was the European States' system until 1917-18.
