  • Kit-Cat Related Poetry
    ‘IN AND OUT’: AN ANALYSIS OF KIT-CAT CLUB MEMBERSHIP (Web Appendix to The Kit-Cat Club by Ophelia Field, 2008) There are four main primary sources with regard to the membership of the Kit-Cat Club – Abel Boyer’s 1722 list,1 John Oldmixon’s 1735 list,2 a Club subscription list dated 1702,3 and finally the portraits painted by Sir Godfrey Kneller between 1697 and 1721 (as well as the 1735 Faber engravings of these paintings). None of the sources agree. Indeed, only the membership of four men (Dr Garth, Lord Cornwallis, Spencer Compton and Abraham Stanyan) is confirmed by all four of these sources. John Macky, a Whig journalist and spy, was the first source for the statement that the Club could have no more than thirty-nine members at any one time,4 and Malone and Spence followed suit.5 It is highly unlikely that there were so many members at the Kit-Cat’s inception, however, and membership probably expanded with changes of venue, especially around 1702–3. By 1712–14, all surviving manuscript lists of toasted ladies total thirty-nine, suggesting that there was one lady toasted by each member and therefore that Macky was correct.6 The rough correlation between the dates of expulsions/deaths and the dates of new admissions (such as the expulsion of Prior followed by the admission of Steele in 1705) also supports the hypothesis that at some stage a cap was set on the size of the Club. Allowing that all members were not concurrent, most sources estimate between forty- six and fifty-five members during the Club’s total period of activity.7 There are forty- four Kit-Cat paintings, but Oldmixon, who got his information primarily from his friend Arthur Maynwaring, lists forty-six members.

  • Banking As an Emerging Technology: Hoare’S Bank, 1702–1742
    Financial History Review 13.2 (2006), pp. 149–178. © European Association for Economic and Financial History e.V. 2006 Printed in the United Kingdom doi:10.1017/S0968565006000229 Banking as an emerging technology: Hoare’s Bank, 1702–1742 PETER TEMIN and HANS-JOACHIM VOTH1 Massachusetts Institute of Technology and ICREA / Universitat Pompeu Fabra London’s financial market underwent dramatic change after 1700. More limited than Paris or Amsterdam in the seventeenth century, London became the leading financial centre in Europe in the eighteenth century. There is an extensive and growing literature on the causes of this change, but comparatively little on the change itself. This article provides detailed information on the operation of the London financial market around 1700 by describing the operations of a nascent London bank. It is an often-repeated truism that goldsmiths became bankers, and we have many records of isolated transactions by goldsmith-bankers.2 These fragments have been taken as the answer to a question when they could instead be seen as the question. Banking is a difficult business, and it does not resemble the goldsmith trade in the kinds of risks it involves. How did goldsmiths become bankers? Was the transition trivial, despite the difference in the economic activities, or was it a process of learning? We argue for the latter. Learning to be a fractional-reserve banker in the early eighteenth century was a difficult task. This is shown by the rapid demise of many goldsmith-bankers at the end of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth century. Goldsmith-bankers failed after the ‘Stop of the Exchequer’ in 1672, and enough of them did so that goldsmiths’ notes were unacceptable as currency during the 1670s.

  • 16 LIBERTY March/April 1990
    16 LIBERTY March/Apri l 1990 Donated by MCCDY .P'R mi ly Jean Zapeda he valued freedom. She op­ posed oppression. She spoke out fo r religious freedom. I wanted to know more about her. She sounded like a twentieth­ century-style feminist alive and well in the seventeenth century. Her roots were waiting to be uncovered down the leafy lanes and in the rich libraries of England, land of my birth. I read LIBERTY' s coverage, and Eric I era rd i's Gravesend: The Home of Coney Island' and the Essex Institute Historical Collections: Swampscott in the Seventeenth Century. I wondered, When and where was Deborah bom?2 What was she like? Who were her parents and grandparents? What innuences shaped her strong spirit? Why did she leave England? What were conditions like in the England of the late six­ teenth and early seventeenth centuries? On which vessel did she sail to America? There seemed no end to my questions. But how was I to find answers? She wrote no books or articles. How could anyone tell what she was like? I began my auempt to reconstruct the world of Deborah Duvch with Ierardi's report that Deborah was born at "Dunch's Priory Manor of Avebury at Little Wi1tenham in Berkshire, England." This de­ scription is puzzling: Avebury and Little Wi 11en­ ham are two different villages 40 miles apart. I would visit both. Little Wittenham, I believed, was in the royal county of Berkshire (royal because the Queen has one of her fav orite palaces there-Windsor Castle).

  • Our House of Lords’: Oliver Cromwell, the Nobility and the Other House
    ‘OUR HOUSE OF LORDS’: OLIVER CROMWELL, THE NOBILITY AND THE OTHER HOUSE By Dr Jonathan Fitzgibbons It was perhaps inevitable that the House of Lords’ vote in October 2015 to delay controversial tax cuts prompted politicians and political commentators to deliberate over the upper chamber’s place in Britain’s ‘unwritten’ constitution. Most obviously, it begged the pertinent question of whether an unelected assembly can legitimately defy the will of an elected House of Commons. The matter is hardly a new one. For over a century the House of Lords has been the subject of sporadic debates concerning its constitutional role, leading to a number of reforms – including restrictions upon its legislative veto (Parliament Acts, 1911 and 1949), the admission of life peers and women (Life Peerages Act, 1958), and a significant reduction in its hereditary membership (House of Lords Act, 1999) resulting in a shift to a mostly appointed chamber. But recent controversies show that there remains a sense that more still needs to be done – that the House of Lords must either be reformed further or be abolished and replaced by a new chamber. Perhaps those considering the future of the upper parliamentary chamber should pay more attention to its past. The turbulent period from 1640 to 1660, in particular, offers some striking parallels to contemporary constitutional debates: during the course of those two decades the House of Lords was reformed, abolished, and ultimately replaced by a new upper house under the terms of the Humble Petition and Advice of 1657.
