  • William Roscoe - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series William Roscoe - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive William Roscoe() He was born in Liverpool, where his father, a market gardener, kept a public house called the Bowling Green at Mount Pleasant. Roscoe left school at the age of twelve, having learned all that his schoolmaster could teach. He assisted his father in the work of the garden, but spent his leisure time on reading and study. "This mode of life," he says, "gave health and vigour to my body, and amusement and instruction to my mind; and to this day I well remember the delicious sleep which succeeded my labors, from which I was again called at an early hour. If I were now asked whom I consider to be the happiest of the human race, I should answer, those who cultivate the earth by their own hands." At fifteen he began to look for a suitable career. A month's trial of bookselling was unsuccessful, and in 1769 he was articled to a solicitor. Although a diligent student of law, he continued to read the classics, and made the acquaintance with the language and literature of Italy which was to dominate his life. His poem, Mount Pleasant, was written when he was sixteen, and together with other verses, now forgotten, won the esteem of good critics. In 1774 he went into business as a lawyer, and in 1781 married Jane, second daughter of William Griffies, a Liverpool tradesman; they had seven sons and three daughters. Roscoe had the courage to denounce the African slave trade in his native town, where much of the wealth came from slavery.

JOHN'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE Hontion MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1899 A II rights reserved INTRODUCTION DR. ANTON MENGER'S remarkable study of the cardinal Dr doctrine of revolutionary socialism, now for the first W time published in English, has long enjoyed a wide reputation on the Continent; and English students of social philosophy, whether or not they are familiar with the original, will welcome its appearance in this trans- lation. The interest and importance of the subject will not be disputed, either by the opponents or the advocates of socialism ; and those who know how exceptionally Dr. Menger is qualified for work of this kind, by his juristic eminence, and his profound know- ledge of socialistic literature, will not need to be told that it has been executed with singular vigour and ability. Hitherto, perhaps because it was not generally accessible to English readers, the book has not received in this country the notice that it has met with elsewhere. Yet there are reasons why it should be of peculiar interest to English economists. The particular method of criticism adopted by Dr.

In the past year Taunton and Wentworth College have produced attractive histories.

  • 'New Political History'? 368
    Conclusion New Horizons for the New Political History? On 28 August 1860 the Victorian Land Convention was politically discredited after a riot occurred at Parliament House. As noted in the last chapter, the Convention had already turned its organisational energies towards creating a voice within Parliament, where Don, Crews, Gray and Hunter now formed part of the fractious 'Corner' faction led by Charles Gavan Duffy. The 1860 riot arose during another deadlock between Assembly and Council over the Nicholson ministry's Land Bill. This Act, at least in its early form, almost replicated the land selection policies drawn up by the Convention in 1857.' However, the legislation which eventually passed Council in September 1860 bore little resemblance to the original. During the riot the crowd attempted to breach the doors of Parliament house and threatened members with violence as they escaped towards the city. At about ten in the evening the Riot Act was read by the Mayor of Melbourne, after which the menacing assembly was dispersed by a series of mounted police charges. Protesters retaliated by pelting stones at police, several being seriously injured. Hundreds involved in the violence wore red- ribbons 'to denote those who were capable of ulterior movements' .2 Emergency legislation immediately was passed preventing political demonstrations near Parliament House, and during the next few days over a thousand special constables were sworn in for Melbourne's protection. 3 In some ways, it was 1848 all over again. See Serle, The golden age, pp. 296-99. For accounts of the Parliament house riot see Argus, 29 August 1860, p.

  • Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M
    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.
