Moral & Religious Publications CHEAP REPOSITORY FOR Moral & Religious Publications. The Price of which is in general an Halfpenny or a Penny, and will ſeldom exceed Two-pence. Two or three new ones will be publiſhed every M onth. T HIS Inſtitution was opened in March, 1795. Its object is to furniſh the People at large with uſeful Reading, at ſo low a price as to be within reach of the pooreſt purchaſer. Moſt of the Tracts are made entertaining , with a view to ſupplant the corrupt and vicious little books and ballads which have been hung out at windows in the moſt alluring forms, or hawked through Town and Country, and have been found ſo highly miſchievous to the Community, as to re­ quire every attention to counteract them. The Sale of the Repoſitory Tracts has been exceedingly great, about two millions having been printed within the year, beſides great numbers in Ireland. The ſucceſs of the Plan has been much extended, not only by the zeal of individuals, but alſo by the active co-operation of thoſe very reſpectable Societies which have been formed in various Towns for this purpoſe. Theſe Societies have not only exerted their influence by circula­ ting the Tracts in their own families, in their ſchools, and among their dependants, but alſo by encouraging Bookſellers to ſupply themſelves with them ; by inſpecting Retailers and Hawkers; giv­ ing them a few in the firſt inſtance, and directing them in the purchaſe; alſo by recommending the Tracts to the occupier of a ſtall at a fair, and by ſending them to hoſpitals, workhouſes, and pri­ ſons. The Tracts have alſo been liberally diſtri­ buted among ſoldiers and ſailors through the in­ fluence of their Commanders.------All that ſeems alswanting, is a little further attention of individu- als to ſupplantH the a vicious w Tracts ­ of the kers by ſubſtituting theſe, which is now doing with ſucceſs in many inſtances ſince theſe are made ſo cheap. The Conductors of the Cheap Repoſitory have reſolved to publiſh the future Tracts on two dif­ ferent forts of paper ; the one of a ſuperior kind for Gentry, who wiſh to have them bound up together in a better form then could hitherto be done ; the other of a kind very inferior, but ſo much cheaper as to remove an objection made by Shopkeepers and Hawkers, that they do not yield a profit equal to that which they gain by their or­ dinary books and ballads. The price of the infe­ rior Edition of penny Tracts will be to Gentry rod, f or the Quire containing 24 Tracts; and the others proportionably cheap. The uſual further allowance will be made to Shopkeepers and Haw­ kers. Two different Editions of the Ballads will be alſo printed, one in the form of a little book for binding, the other in a very cheap manner in ſheets. The Tracts of the laſt year may be had bound up in one volume, and many of the ballads which came out in ſheets are now printed together in a penny book and bound up with them. The price of this 1ſt Volume is 3s. 6d. half bound and lettered. As the Tracts have been found uſeful and ac­ ceptable in Boarding Schools, thoſe alſo as well as private Families on ſending an Order may be ſupplied with them every Month, in the ſame manner as with a Magazine. They will be ſent periodically to Societies, Bookſellers, and Indi­ viduals. To the Agents of the Societies it is the plan to ſend Specimens of the publications gratis every Month. Should any miſtake ariſe, infor­ mation is requeſted. A NNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS to the general Fund ( 3 ) Fund having been voluntarily offered, the Con­ ductors with pleaſure inform the Friends to the Inſtitution that they ſhall not for ſome time ſtand in need of ſuch aſſiſtance. In order to ſupply a fund for incidental expen­ c es, and for extending the circulation of the Tracts, the following Subſcriptions have been received. Henry Thornton, Eſq. M. P. Treaſurer.

We are honoured to be hosting and celebrating our 125th Birthday with you this Easter weekend at our level 1 International Open Meet. I would like to extend a warm welcome to our international clubs from Belgium, Ireland, Isle of Man and Spain along with the clubs from the United Kingdom. We have been privileged to draw clubs from around Europe, allowing swimmers to compete against each other in the qualifying window for the Summer Nationals, so I am looking forward to seeing some fast swimming. This Open Meet could not have taken place without a great deal of forward planning and hard work, so I would like to thank Lindsey Davison for all the long hours she had put in to get us where we are today. We have a wonderful team of volunteers helping over the weekend, so to you, I also say thank you from the bottom of my heart. A special mention to our Referees and Officials who without we could not license this Open Meet and I thank them for giving up their time and support. Not forgetting the parents, the support that you give your swimmer is never understood by anyone outside the swimming community.

HOW TO Back to Churchyards listed Some Monumental Inscriptions of St Peter & St Paul Church, Noted by Richard Holworthy Published in The British Archivists Vol 1 Sept 1914 to June 1915. Kindly typed up for the website by Pat Tritton Preface. In the "Gentleman’s Magazine" for 1829, Part II, page 201, there appears a long letter, signed "Viator Antiquarius", relating to the restoration of Bromley Church. It reads: "Passing through the town of Bromley in Kent the other day, I found the old church there nearly pulled down, nothing remaining but the well-built Gothic tower and portions of the side walls. The gates of the churchyard were fortified with a palisade, so that it was impossible for an antiquary to enter and satisfy himself what might be the probable result to ancient vestiges in the Church of such desecration and destructive appearances …"/. This same "desecration" – usually called "restoration" – has been the fate of most churches, but many have suffered to a far greater extent than that of Bromley. Certainly, several interesting monuments in the church have disappeared, but the majority were replaced. One very important brass was discovered embedded in the masonry and preserved, though not placed on the wall until 1884, i.e. 55 years after its discovery. This small brass, which is dated 1361, is to the memory of Isabella, wife of Richard LACER, a wealthy merchant and mayor of London.

    CHARLESCORBOULD, EsQ., of Orillia. 1799-1893. Page 118 SECTION XVII. CORBOULD ORILLIA, CANADA. LIEUT. CHARLESCORBOULD, R.N. (retd.), of " Bracon," Orillia, Canada, 3rd son of the Rev. John Corbould (Section XIII), b. at Bracon Ash, Norfolk, 2 May 1799, bapt. at St. Giles's Church, Norwich, 8 May 1799. One of his earliest recollections was of Lord Nelson dining with his father at Bracon Ash Rectory prior to the great admiral's departure on the voyage that culminated in the battle of Trafalgar. At the age of thirteen he joined the Royal Navy as a midshipman in the battle- ship H.M.S. Elizabeth, commanded by Post Captain Gower, and sailed to the Mediterranean to join the fleet then blockading Toulon. He subsequently served at the siege of Algiers and the blockading of Venice. He met the Duke of Welling- ton, and at Elba was spoken to by the Emperor Napoleon I. At the close of the war, Lieut. Corbould retired from the Navy and matriculated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, in 1823, later qualifying as an attorney and solicitor. He practised as an attorney at 8, Gray's Inn Square, London, from 18 29 to I 8 3 7. He also qualified for the Canadian Bar. When he retired from practice in England he settled at York Mills, Canada, and there engaged in extensive farming and milling projects. On the outbreak of the Mackenzie rebellion, Mr. Corbould took an active part in the defence of Toronto, and was stationed at the Bank of Upper Canada until the trouble ended. Some years later he moved from York Mills to Orillia, where he died on 11 Dec.

  • A Note on Directories
    57 A NOTE ON DIRECTORIES Whilst most of the trade directories consulted for the dealer dictionary were standard list formats, some nineteenth century directories were more ambitious projects. John Tallis’ London Street Views, for example, published in parts between 1838 and 1847, was an innovative publication that included lithograph illustrations of architectural elevations of the shops in a number of streets and locations in London. Traders in Tallis’ directory, which was aimed at the top end of the market, could pay to have their names advertised above their pictured shop fronts. The illustrations in this dictionary contain a group of antique and curiosity shops illustrated in John Tallis’ London Street Views - (see figure 12 ; Miss Clarke, Regent Street, figure 13 ; Isaacs, Regent Street). Directories, like any historical source material, are anchored in their own social and cultural contexts and it is important to take care to acknowledge the nature and purpose of the source material in any historical investigation. Indeed, it is well-known that trade directories, particularly in the period up to the 1850s, were notorious for their inaccuracies and inconsistencies, as historians such as Jane E. Norton and P. J. Atkins have already explained.5 Aspects such as the method of compilation of directories had a significant impact of the completeness and consistency of the information presented and given the sheer amount of time it could potentially take to compile a large directory, it is clear that some of the information would already be out of date by the time the directory was published. Even aspects such as the weather could have an impact on the comprehensiveness and accuracy of information in directories - for example, heavy snow was known to restrict the survey activity in some areas.6 Directory publishers were also not averse to plagiarism, often reprinting whole sections of earlier directories and merely adjusting the date of publication.

  • 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.
