  • Prize Money and Rising Expectations: Admiral Warren's Personal Fortune*
    Prize Money and Rising Expectations: Admiral Warren's Personal Fortune* by Julian GWYN* * Get place and wealth - if possible with Grace; if not, by any means, get wealth and place.••• I The sudden acquisition of great wealth invariably attracts the spon­ taneous attention of an awestruck and envious world. The popular esti­ mates seem invariably to exaggerate the size of such fortunes, while historians unhappily repeat this gossip, for want of proof, and thus give authority to suggestions which are far from true. 1 Only rarely can a private fortune made before the nineteenth century be studied in detail for lack of evidence. What family keeps forever the bill and cheque books, the bank and letter books, the invoices and receipts, the records of stock transfers, credit advances and property deals upon which alone such studies can he based ? The ·almost inevitable disappear­ ance of such crucial documents has meant ·that only a few accounts of such private fortunes in the eighteenth century have been written. In England, among the merchants, William Braund's fortune is such an exception. 2 Ia the American colonies there are detailed accounts only of the Beekmans of New York, the Dulanys of Maryland, the Nortons of Virginia, the • Research for this study ha.s largely been financed by the Canada Council to whom I am deeply grateful It formed the basis of a paper read at the 50th Annual meeting of the Canadian Historical A9800iation, St. John's.

  • Cape Shipping and the War at Sea
    6 Cape shipping and the war at sea News reached the Cape of Good Hope of growing tension between Britain and Spain in letters sent out by the Dutch company’s London agent Bolwerk on the Royal Guardian, which anchored in Table Bay on 5 December 1739. Some six weeks later Thomas Coates brought the Defence in from Mokha. He heard from Dutch outward-bound ships in the Cape roadstead that war had been declared. There was always the danger that France too might be involved and as the Saint-Geran was also at the Cape, Coates and his supercargoes John Wallis and Thomas Thomson addressed an urgent appeal to Governor Swellengrebel and his council of policy. They feared that Poree de la Touche of the Saint-Geran had sinister motives and requested that the French ship be detained until the Defence had been given sufficient time to get well on her way. This favour was asked on the grounds of “the established Alliance and Amity which has been so long subsisting between the Crown of Great Britain and the Most High and Mighty States of Holland”. The Dutch, however, wished to remain on friendly terms with all nations and could pot therefore entertain such a request. They nevertheless made one gesture of special friendship. The Defence had sailed for home with insufficient ammunition to meet a war situation. The Cape authorities could, however, supply her needs. The Oostrust had been forced to run for Mossel Bay on her voyage from the Cape to Batavia late in 1739 and had been brought back to Saldanha Bay in a leaky state.

I remain deeply in debt to the inspiration and mentorship of David Spring. Preface In this list cadet, associated, and stem families are arranged in a single entry when substantial property passed between one and the other providing continuity of parliamentary representation (even, as was the case in a few instances, when no blood or marriage relationship existed). Subsidiary/cadet families are usually grouped under the oldest, richest, or most influential stem family. Female MPs are counted with their birth families, or, if not born into a parliamentary family, with their husband’s family.
