This ambitious and challenging collection of tightly interwoven essays will find an eager au- dience among students and faculty in British and imperial history, as well as those interested in liberalism and moder- nity in other parts of the world.” Jordanna BaILkIn, author of The Culture of Property: The Crisis of Liberalism in Modern Britain “This volume investigates no less than the relationship of liberalism to Britain’s rise as an empire and the first modern nation. In its global scope and with its broad historical perspective, it makes a strong case for why British history still matters. It will be central for anyone interested in understanding how modernity came about.” Frank TrenTMann, author of Free Trade Nation: Consumption, Commerce, and Civil Society in Modern Britain In this wide-ranging volume, leading scholars across several disciplines—history, literature, sociology, and cultural studies—investigate the nature of liberalism and modernity in imperial Britain since the eighteenth century. They show how Britain’s liberal version of modernity (of capitalism, democracy, and imperialism) was the product of a peculiar set of historical cir- cumstances that continues to haunt our neoliberal present.

  • The Rise and Fall of Henry Day & Sons Ltd Shoddy Business
    1 THE RISE AND FALL OF HENRY DAY & SONS LTD SHODDY BUSINESS The first recorded person with the name Day who was connected to the textile industry was Joseph, who was born in 1729. In the records Joseph was called a Farmer cum Clothier, which meant he probably had sheep and made some cloth besides looking after a small farm. Charles Day (b 1945) is the sixth and last generation of the family to be in the textile industry. Manufacturing at Savile Bridge Mills ceased in 2000. In 1820 Joseph’s son George who was “a real worker and maker blankets broad and narrow or yard-wide woollen cloth” had a licence to expose for sale and to sell. He had to carry this around with him all the time and it was issued by Joseph Howgate who was the Bailiff. The original is in the hands of Charles Day and is rather dog-eared, due to been regularly handled. George's son Henry obviously worked with his father because in 1844 he started his own company and then expanded into an area in Hanging Heaton, which is now called Day’s Yard. It is where he and his wife used to sort and sell rags. In Day’s Yard Henry built Quarry Cottage and then Quarry House, which was built of stone costing £10 from an old Methodist School and bricks from James Bray of Shaw Cross. As he grew his company he then started to dye and dry rags and then he also bought a rag machine. He had crude brick dye vats built, where the water was heated by a fire underneath the bottom plate and when they had been dyed the rags were dried in the field at the bottom of the yard.

    Year of the Golden Ape by Colin Forbes, 1923-2006 Published: 1974 J J J J J I I I I I Table of Contents Dedication & Part I … The Terrorists. Part II … The hi-jack. Part III … The San Francisco experience. J J J J J I I I I I For Jane Part I The Terrorists. 1 In January two major assassinations took place in the Middle East. The new, thirty-year-old King of Saudi Arabia was murdered as he made love to one of his numerous wives, skewered through the back so savagely as he lay prone that the knife blade penetrated the body of the girl beneath him, piercing her heart. An alleged cousin promptly assumed nominal power and issued a statement that he would not rest until Arab troops patrolled the streets of Jerusalem. The statement reassured everyone east of Suez—it showed that the King's heart was in the right place, that he was bent on the extinction of the State of Israel. But the significant figure in this drama was the man who planned it. Sheikh Gamal Tafak immediately took over the posts of Oil and Finance Minister from his predecessor, who with so many other moderates had fled the country for his life. Tafak, a brilliant fanatic, sincerely believed that to recover Palestine for the Arabs, the oil weapon which chance had placed in their hands must be wielded ruthlessly. It was from this moment that the power of the sheikhs was really exerted against the West. The oil tap was turned off in January—at the height of a savage European winter—and Tafak himself visited western capitals to inform his nervous hosts that this time, unlike in 1973, there would be no concessions… 'The West must no longer support Israel with so much as a glass of water,' he informed European foreign ministers.
