    Brian J. Birch by Abhishek Bhuwalka

    The Bibliophile of Standish and Montignac Toupinerie: Brian J. Birch By Abhishek Bhuwalka Figure 1: Brian Birch today the world of philatelic literature, Brian Birch (Figure 1) stands tall. Following in the footsteps of renowned bibliophiles and recorders of the past like P. J. Anderson, B. In T. K. Smith, E. D. Bacon, Fred. J. Melville, the Williams brothers, and the Negus brothers, today Birch is one of the extremely few exclusive proponents of philatelic bibliography and history. Birch’s prodigious output over the last three decades consists of tens of thousands of pages. The vast scope of his Philatelic Bibliophile’s Companion needs to be seen to be believed; I keep discovering new aspects every so often. I first read of Birch in the book Milestones of the Philatelic Literature of the 19th Century (Note 1). Later I began corresponding with him but have not had the fortune to meet him. I was looking forward to it at Stockholmia 2019, but Birch could not attend due to illness. I can think of no better person to inaugurate this new series on philatelic bibliophiles of the world. Birch has much wisdom to share and hence my introduction must be necessarily short. © Abhishek Bhuwalka Page 1 of 16 Brian, tell us about yourself. I was born Brian John Birch on January 18, 1949, at Liverpool. My father was Frederick Birch, a policeman in the Liverpool Force, and my mother was Edna May Birch, a hairdresser and later shopkeeper. I had an older brother, David Frederick Birch, born in 1946, who also became a policeman (Figure 2).

New Approaches to the Founding of the Sierra Leone Colony, 1786–1808 Isaac Land Indiana State University Andrew M. Schocket Bowling Green State University This special issue of the Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History consists of a forum of innovative ways to consider and reappraise the founding of Britain’s Sierra Leone colony. It originated with a conversation among the two of us and Pamela Scully – all having research interests touching on Sierra Leone in that period – noting that the recent historical inquiry into the origins of this colony had begun to reach an important critical mass. Having long been dominated by a few seminal works, it has begun to attract interest from a number of scholars, both young and established, from around the globe.1 Accordingly, we set out to collect new, exemplary pieces that, taken together, present a variety of innovative theoretical, methodological, and topical approaches to Sierra Leone.

    The West Indian Mission to West Africa: the Rio Pongas Mission, 1850-1963

    The West Indian Mission to West Africa: The Rio Pongas Mission, 1850-1963 by Bakary Gibba A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Bakary Gibba (2011) The West Indian Mission to West Africa: The Rio Pongas Mission, 1850-1963 Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Bakary Gibba Department of History, University of Toronto Abstract This thesis investigates the efforts of the West Indian Church to establish and run a fascinating Mission in an area of West Africa already influenced by Islam or traditional religion. It focuses mainly on the Pongas Mission’s efforts to spread the Gospel but also discusses its missionary hierarchy during the formative years in the Pongas Country between 1855 and 1863, and the period between 1863 and 1873, when efforts were made to consolidate the Mission under black control and supervision. Between 1873 and 1900 when additional Sierra Leonean assistants were hired, relations between them and African-descended West Indian missionaries, as well as between these missionaries and their Eurafrican host chiefs, deteriorated. More efforts were made to consolidate the Pongas Mission amidst greater financial difficulties and increased French influence and restrictive measures against it between 1860 and 1935. These followed an earlier prejudiced policy in the Mission that was strongly influenced by the hierarchical nature of nineteenth-century Barbadian society, which was abandoned only after successive deaths

    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Power and Persuasion: The London West India Committee, 1783-1833 Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Hull by Angelina Gillian Osborne BA (American International College) MA (Birkbeck College, University of London) September 2014 1 Abstract In 1783 the West India interest – absentee planters, merchants trading to the West Indies and colonial agents - organised into a formal lobbying group as a consequence of the government’s introduction of colonial and economic policies that were at odds with its political and economic interests. Between 1783 and 1833, the London West India Committee acted as political advocates for the merchant and planter interest in Britain, and the planters residing in the West Indies, lobbying the government for regulatory advantage and protection of its monopoly. This thesis is a study of the London West India Committee. It charts the course of British anti-abolition through the lens of its membership and by drawing on its meeting minutes it seeks to provide a more comprehensive analysis of its lobbying strategies, activities and membership, and further insight into its political, cultural and social outlook. It explores its reactions to the threat to its political and commercial interests by abolitionist agitation, commercial and colonial policy that provoked challenges to colonial authority. It argues that the proslavery position was not as coherent and unified as previously assumed, and that the range of views on slavery and emancipation fractured consensus among the membership. Rather than focus primarily on the economic aspects of their lobbying strategy this thesis argues for a broader analysis of the West India Committee’s activities, exploring the decline of the planter class from a political perspective.

    The Work of RPSL Ltd – Expert Committee

    The work of RPSL Ltd – Expert Committee 9th February 2017 Presentation to The Royal Philatelic Society London Guide to material showing in the frames THE FORMATION OF THE EXPERT COMMITTEE – 1894 In the November 1893 issue of The London Philatelist, the edito r M. P. Castle proposed the formation of an Expert Committee in the following words:‐ “The Statutes of the London Philatelic Society (sic) include in its objects “the detection and prevention of forgeries and frauds,” and it seems to us that no worthier manner of achieving this laudable aim could be devised than by the appointment of an Expert Committee, who should literally sit upon all suspected stamps. It will be readily inferred that a collector who has made the stamps of any especial country or group of countries his especial hobby for many years, and has his treasures available for the purposes of comparison, must naturally be a better judge than the dealer whose wares are spread over a vast surface and are subject to constant fluctuations. There are within the London Society several names of men whose authority is unquestioned, and whose command of philatelic accumulations would constitute them an invaluable tribunal of appeal. It should, however, be borne in mind that in almost all cases these gentlemen are busy men in many ways, and+ can ill afford to devote their leisure time – and it would often involve much of that valuable commodity – in passing judgement upon specimens that could have perhaps been diagnosed by their owners, or were possibly stamps of so little value as to be beneath the waste of valuable time.

My appreciation also goes to my supervisor, Professor Richard Blackett for the time he spent in directing, guiding, reading, editing my work. At times, it tested his patience, sanity, and will to live. But he persevered. I thank him for his words of caution, advice and for being a role model through his research and scholarship. His generosity and kind spirit has not only shaped my academic pursuits but also my life outside the walls of the academy. I would also like to express my sincere thanks to the members of my dissertation committee: Jane Landers, Moses Ochonu, and Jemima Pierre. They have provided advice and support above and beyond what was required of them.
