The Thomas Allan Collection Thomas Allan (1774-1845) Thomas Allan was born near Malton, North Yorkshire. He was married to Esther (d. 21 November 1844), the daughter of Thomas Robinson, merchant and ship owner. They had two sons, Thomas Robinson Allan (d. 8 December 1866) who was also a solicitor and Joseph William Allan (d. 10 February 1848). A solicitor and political adviser to the Wesleyan Methodists, Thomas Allan was considered to be one of the most important laymen of his generation. Based in Frederick’s Place, Old Jewry, London, he was appointed WM connexional legal adviser in 1803. He came to prominence as a member of the Committee of Privileges opposing Lord Sidmouth’s Bill. The Bill would have effectively put in jeopardy Methodism’s use of local preachers and even threatened the itinerancy itself. Seen as a threat to religious liberties, it was opposed by the Committee which was set up in 1803 to protect nonconformist rights under the Toleration Act. Thomas Allan produced 700 WM petitions against the Bill which contained 30,000 signatures. As a result of the petitions and in the face of growing opposition, the Bill was dropped after its second reading. He was responsible for masterminding the new Toleration Act of 1812 which was of importance to all the Free Churches. Thomas Allan was a leading member of the Protestant Union, founded in 1813, and opposed Catholic Emancipation in 1829 and grants to Catholic schools. As a local preacher, he preached to the poor in the workhouses and smaller chapels. He died at Brighton on 26 September 1845. Thomas Allan’s biographical information was taken from the following sources: The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. The Wesley Society online Dictionary of Methodism in Britain and Ireland. The Dictionary of Evangelical Biography. The Thomas Allan Collection This is a significant collection which will prove useful for researchers into Methodism and the early 19th century in general. It contains letters from 3 Prime ministers (Henry Addington, Spencer Perceval and Lord Liverpool), numerous bishops, government ministers and senior legal figures. The subjects covered by the archive include the Toleration Act controversy, medicine, Roman Catholic emancipation, and anti-slavery. Provenance The collection was probably compiled by the Allan family and passed to the WM Connexion in London sometime after Thomas Allan’s death in 1845. It was retained there by the Methodist Church until 1977 at which time it was transferred to the John Rylands Library on permanent deposit as part of the Methodist Archives and Research Centre. Arrangement and content The collection consists of 22 boxes of manuscript and printed material comprising letters, documents, and personal papers relating to Thomas Allan’s role as a solicitor and also concerning his opposition to the Toleration Act and Lord Sidmouth’s Bill. The collection has been listed by item and where an asterisk appears, this indicates that there is biographical information which can be found 1 at the end of the catalogue. The items have been retained in the original box order and have been listed accordingly. The first part of the reference number relates to the box to which the material belongs.

    The Economic Rape of America - Chapter Eight HISTORY AND THEORY OF TAX AND STATE You have sown much, and harvested little; you eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and you that earn wages earn wages to put them into a bag with holes. -- Haggai 1, verse 6 "... [W]hen it is no longer worth the producers' while to produce, when they are taxed so highly to keep the politicians and their friends on the public payroll that they themselves no longer have a reasonable chance of success in any economic enterprise, then of course production grinds to a halt... When this happens, when the producers can no longer sustain on their backs the increasing load of the parasites, then the activities of the parasites must stop also, but usually not before they have brought down the entire social structure which the producers' activities have created. When the organism dies, the parasite necessarily dies too, but not until the organism has paid for the presence of the parasite with its life. It is in just this way that the major civilizations of the world have collapsed." -- Professor John Hospers, 1975 The history of taxation is also the history of the rise and fall of civilization. It is the history of economic rape. From the history of taxation we can learn... TAX IN EGYPT, ROME, AND THE MIDDLE EAST Charles Adams wrote a superb book, Fight, Flight and Fraud: The Story of Taxation. It is a comprehensive analysis of the history of taxation in the context of the rise and fall of civilizations.

The author soon found, however, that the edition was insuffi- cient to meet the demand, and he was obliged, with regret, to inform many who desired to possess the book that the issue was exhausted. In the present edition the original form in which the work appeared has been retained, but fresh material has been included, and many corrections have been made which, it is hoped, will render the book more useful. vu CONTENTS PAQI Introduction ....... 1 The Island or St. Helena and its Administration . 7 Military ....... 8 Naval ....... 9 Civil ....... 10 The Population of St. Helena in 1820 . .15 The Expenses of Administration in St. Helena in 1817 15 The Residents at Longwood . .16 Topography— Principal Residences . .19 The Regiments in St. Helena . .22 The 53rd Foot Regiment (2nd Battalion) . 22 The 66th Foot Regiment (2nd Battalion) . 26 The 66th Foot Regiment (1st Battalion) . 29 The 20th Foot Regiment .

  • A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD

    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD

    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD Christ Church was founded in 1546, and there had been a college here since 1525, but prior to the Dissolution of the monasteries, the site was occupied by a priory dedicated to the memory of St Frideswide, the patron saint of both university and city. St Frideswide, a noble Saxon lady, founded a nunnery for herself as head and for twelve more noble virgin ladies sometime towards the end of the seventh century. She was, however, pursued by Algar, prince of Leicester, for her hand in marriage. She refused his frequent approaches which became more and more desperate. Frideswide and her ladies, forewarned miraculously of yet another attempt by Algar, fled up river to hide. She stayed away some years, settling at Binsey, where she performed healing miracles. On returning to Oxford, Frideswide found that Algar was as persistent as ever, laying siege to the town in order to capture his bride. Frideswide called down blindness on Algar who eventually repented of his ways, and left Frideswide to her devotions. Frideswide died in about 737, and was canonised in 1480. Long before this, though, pilgrims came to her shrine in the priory church which was now populated by Augustinian canons. Nothing remains of Frideswide’s nunnery, and little - just a few stones - of the Saxon church but the cathedral and the buildings around the cloister are the oldest on the site. Her story is pictured in cartoon form by Burne-Jones in one of the windows in the cathedral. One of the gifts made to the priory was the meadow between Christ Church and the Thames and Cherwell rivers; Lady Montacute gave the land to maintain her chantry which lay in the Lady Chapel close to St Frideswide’s shrine.

The Protestantism generally was of a type current in South West Germany and Switzerland, but the influence of Calvin was increasing every day.” Dr. Sanday here uses the term “Catholics,” in the * Dr. Sanday, Minutes of Evidence taken before The Royal Com †: on Ecclesiastical Discipline, 1906.

Ruloff De Kype [5] was born in 1510 in Alencon, Bretagne, France. General Notes: Ruloff De Kype was a warm adherent of the Guises, and took a prominent part in the Civil War between the Catholics and the Protestants. On the triumph of the Protestants, which occurred soon after the general massacre of the inhabitants of Vassey in Champagne, in 1562, his Chateau was burned and he fled from his home at Alancon in Bretagne to Holland with his three sons, where they lived for several years under an assumed name. In 1569, with his son Henri, he returned to France, joined the army of the Duke of Anjou, and on the 13th of March 1569 fell in the battle fought on the banks of La Charante, near Jarnac. By the care of his son, Jean Baptiste, who was a priest, he was buried in a small Church near Jarnac. The Church and grave marker were destroyed during the French Revolution.

    INTRODUCTION aithness has a rich history stretching back many thousands of years, but in more recent times many born in the county left to make their mark abroad. Part of the reason for the exodus was the Highland Clearances of the 19th century, while Cothers were looking for adventure or had sampled life abroad during spells in the armed forces. For others still, it was because their parents had taken the decision to leave in search of a better life for themselves and their families. Among these were the first Lady Mayor ever to be elected in the British Empire, the 9th President of the Continental Congress in America during the Revolutionary period, and a pioneering road engineer who moved to South Africa when he was young, to name but a few. Those who stayed at home are credited with great engineering feats and geological discoveries – not only at home but abroad – as well as pioneering work in the arts and sciences. They dedicated, and still dedicate, their whole lives to their work and the impact of these inspirational people has touched the lives of many thousands of individuals worldwide. There are many hundreds of Caithness-born people who had an impact on the world in some way, however there is not enough room in this volume for them all. I have chosen as diverse a group as I could and this book provides an insight into their lives and labours. xi ALEXANDER BAIN t the village hall in Watten stands one of the world’s first electric clocks.
