Henry Fox’s Drafts of Lord Hardwicke’s Speech in the Lords’ Debate on the Bill on Clandestine Marriages, 6 June 1753: A Striving for Accuracy Clyve Jones Before Hansard began publication in the early nineteenth century, the first regular and sustained reports of debates in Parliament were inaugurated in 1711 by Abel Boyer in his monthly Political State of Great Britain. In the middle of the eighteenth century the reporting of debates was forbidden by resolutions of both Houses, and such printed debates that have survived were usually written by reporters who had not heard them. Later on after 1774, when the prohibition of strangers was relaxed, there was an unprecedented printing of debates and various series of compilations were published. Before Boyer, however, the only records of debates in either the Commons or the Lords were personal ones taken by members or visitors to Parliament.1 And even after the first printing of debates by Boyer, many people, particularly those in the political elite, continued to obtain their Parliamentary information from personal accounts. These took various forms: notes taken in the Houses (sometimes written up afterwards into a more polished account, often in the form of a journal or diary, in which speeches appear to be written out in full),2 letters or parts of letters, separates (i.e., single or multiple sheets, often differing little from notes taken in the Parliament, and often concentrating on specific issues), and speeches (sometimes published, or circulated in manuscript). Often these reports consisted of lists of speakers followed by a summary of the arguments used, and occasionally they might include, in part, verbatim accounts of debates (or, at least, what look like verbatim accounts of speeches); even rarer were reports which were (or looked like) full verbatim accounts of a debate. -

And there is an additional reason for offering the sugges tion that one poet knew the work of ~he other. In Canto III, i, of The Shipwreck, we read: Darkling I wander with prophetic dread. Who can escape thinking at once of Keats's line, "Darkling I listen...." in the Ode to a Nightingale? None of the ref erences cited in Notes 1 and 2 above offer any suggestions regarding Keats's "Darkling"; but it is clear that William Falconer not only preceded Keats in the choice of this un usual word but also used it with identical effect, i.e., as the initial word in an iambic verse, thus inverting, in the first foot, the rhytl1rn of an otherwise normal iambic line. In the years immediately preceding the publication of the Ode to a Nightingale, half a dozen London publishers vied one with another to render Falconer's lines familiar to every reader of poetry. -

Grega Thesis Final Draft No Title Page
© COPYRIGHT by Danielle Therese Grega 2017 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED For my family, especially Marion Grega. MYTHOLOGIZING MARY: WILLIAM ALLAN’S THE MURDER OF DAVID RICCIO AND SCOTTISH NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE 1820S BY Danielle Therese Grega ABSTRACT This thesis analyzes Sir William Allan’s history painting The Murder of David Riccio (1833) in relation to the formation of Scottish identity at a pivotal moment in the nation’s history. The painting represents the death in 1566 of Mary Stuart’s trusted secretary at the hands of her husband Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, while the pregnant queen watches the grisly killing unfold. I argue that Allan uses the historical figure of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, as an allegory of Scotland. At the time Allan painted this work, artists across Europe were grappling with the problem of how pictorially to define “the nation”; often, they used female figures as allegorical representations of that abstract concept. Placing Allan’s painting in its historical and political context, I relate it to the artist’s Unionist political beliefs. In my interpretation, the painting attempts to forge a distinctly Scottish identity by celebrating one of the nation’s foremost leaders, while also legitimizing its union with Great Britain. I show that gender ideology plays a key role in this complex balancing act. By representing Mary as a passive and compliant figure, Allan makes Scotland the feminized partner to its more “masculine,” powerful partner, Britain. Allan thus mobilizes Mary as a symbolic figure who reconciles the nation’s particular character and autonomous past with its identity as a part of the United Kingdom. -
Obituary of the Earl of Radnor
Obituary of The Earl of Radnor The Right Hon. Sir William Pleydell-Bouverie, third Earl of Radnor, Viscount Folkestone, of Folkestone, in the county of Kent; Baron Longford, of Longford in the county of Wilts; Baron Pleydell- Bouverie of Coleshill, in the county of Berks and Baronet who died the 9th inst at his seat, Coleshill House, Highworth, was the eldest son of Jacob, second Earl of Radnor by his wife, the Hon. Anne Duncombe, daughter and coheir of Anthony, Lord Feversham. He was born May 11, 1779. He had been a member of the House of Commons, having represented Salisbury from 1802 to 1828 and was remarkable for his advanced Liberalism in politics. He voted for the Catholic Emancipation Bill in 1829 and the Reform Bill of 1831-2 in the House of Lords. He was High Steward of Salisbury, an honour held by several of his predecessors. After being one of the extreme politicians of the day, he had for the last fifteen or sixteen years entirely devoted himself to agricultural pursuits and to holding out encouragement to his poorer tenantry to improve their condition. His Lordship married first, Oct 2, 1801, Lady Catherine, only daughter of Henry, Earl of Lincoln and granddaughter of Henry, second Duke of Newcastle, by whom (who died May 17, 1804) he leaves a daughter, Lady Catherine, wife of General Edward Pery Buckley. His Lordship married secondly, May 24 1814, Anne Judith, third daughter of Sir Henry Paulet St John-Mildmay, third Baronet of Moulsham hall, Essex, and by her (who died Apr 27, 1851) leaves two sons, Jacob, his successor and the Right Hon. -
For Those Royalists Disappointed by Charles II's Failure to Reward Them
1 The earls of Derby and the opposition to their estate bills in parliament, 1660-92: some new manuscript sources By Charles Littleton, History of Parliament Trust Abstract: The bills introduced in 1660-62 by Charles Stanley, 8th earl of Derby, to reclaim his property conveyed by legal procedures to other proprietors during the Interregnum are well-known to students of the Restoration, as their ultimate defeat is seen as evidence of the royal government's wish to enforce 'indemnity and oblivion' after the civil war. The leading members of the House of Lords opposed to the bill of 1661-2 can be gauged by the protest against its passage on 6 February 1662, which has been readily available to students to consult since the 18th-century publication of the Lords Journals. A number of manuscript lists of the protesters against the bill's passage reveal that the opposition to the bill was even more extensive and politically varied than the protest in the Journal suggests, which raises questions of why the printed protest is so incomplete. A voting forecast drawn up by William Stanley, 9th earl of Derby, in 1691 further reminds us of the often neglected point that the Stanleys continued to submit bills for the resumption of their hereditary lands well after the disappointment of 1662. Derby's manuscript calculations, though ultimately highly inaccurate, reveal much about how this particular peer envisaged the forces ranged for and against the claims of an old civil war royalist family, a good forty years after the loss of their land.
