Names Found in Parker Library Printed Books Catalogued on the University of Cambridge Online Union Catalogue Names found in Parker Library printed books catalogued on the University of Cambridge online union catalogue. Names may be present in books for a variety of reasons. Inscriptions suggest it was the custom for Fellows of the College to present books to the Library on relinquishing their fellowships. In these cases, the books were unlikely ever to have been in the personal library of the donor, who may have given money for their purchase rather than the books themselves. The presence of more famous names may record presentations by authors of one of their works, either to the library itself or to a previous owner. A number of these names represent former owners of the books, which later made their way by bequest, donation or purchase to the library at Corpus Christi. Finally, there are a small number of names of binders, second- hand booksellers and authors of letters found inside books. Forms of name are taken where possible from the Library of Congress Name Authority File, supplemented by Venn’s Alumni Cantabrigienses (Cambridge, 1922-54), the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and other reference sources. The identification of some of the names with known historical figures should be regarded as conjectural at present. Donors of significant collections to the Library appear in bold in this list.

  • Gladstone and the Bank of England: a Study in Mid-Victorian Finance, 1833-1866
    GLADSTONE AND THE BANK OF ENGLAND: A STUDY IN MID-VICTORIAN FINANCE, 1833-1866 Patricia Caernarv en-Smith, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: Denis Paz, Major Professor Adrian Lewis, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History Laura Stern, Committee Member Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Caernarven-Smith, Patricia. Gladstone and the Bank of England: A Study in Mid- Victorian Finance, 1833-1866. Master of Arts (History), May 2007, 378 pp., 11 tables, bibliography, 275 titles. The topic of this thesis is the confrontations between William Gladstone and the Bank of England. These confrontations have remained a mystery to authors who noted them, but have generally been ignored by others. This thesis demonstrates that Gladstone’s measures taken against the Bank were reasonable, intelligent, and important for the development of nineteenth-century British government finance. To accomplish this task, this thesis refutes the opinions of three twentieth-century authors who have claimed that many of Gladstone’s measures, as well as his reading, were irrational, ridiculous, and impolitic. My primary sources include the Gladstone Diaries, with special attention to a little-used source, Volume 14, the indexes to the Diaries. The day-to-day Diaries and the indexes show how much Gladstone read about financial matters, and suggest that his actions were based to a large extent upon his reading. In addition, I have used Hansard’s Parliamentary Debates and nineteenth-century periodicals and books on banking and finance to understand the political and economic debates of the time.

  • George Canning and the Representation of Liverpool, 1812-1823 1
    'The Pride of my Publick Life': George Canning and the Representation of Liverpool, 1812-1823 1 Stephen M. Lee I George Canning (1770-1827) was one of the most significant figures on the Pittite side of British politics in the first three decades of the nineteenth century, and his successful campaign for a seat at Liverpool in 1812 both illustrated and contributed to the profound changes that his political career underwent during this period. Sandwiched between his failure to return to office in May-July 1812 following the assassination of Spencer Perceval and his decision to disband his personal following (his 'little Senate') in July i8i3,2 this campaign marked for Canning a turn away from the aristocratic political arena of Westminster, which he had come to find so frustrating, towards a political culture which, if at first alien, was replete with new possibilities. Moreover, Canning's experience as representative for Liverpool was indicative of wider changes in the political landscape of early nineteenth-century Britain. Before considering in detail some of the key aspects of Canning's outward turn, however, it will be useful to offer a brief description of the constituency of Liverpool and a short account of the elections that Canning fought there.3 1 This article is a revised version of chapter 3 of Stephen M. Lee, 'George Canning and the Tories, 1801-1827' (unpuh. Ph.D. thesis, Manchester Univ., 1999), PP- 93-128. 2 For a consideration of these two important episodes see Lee, 'Canning and the Tories', pp. 81-91. 1 Unless otherwise stated the following summary of the politics of Liverpool is 74 Stephen M.

  • The Trial of John Bellingham
    A Case of Injustice? The Trial of John Bellingham by KATHLEEN s. GODDARD* The names Spencer Perceval and John Bellingham are not famous Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/ajlh/article/46/1/1/1806398 by guest on 30 September 2021 names. They do not feature prominently in history lessons. Few people, if asked, can accurately state any factual information about either man. However, their story is an interesting one, in that Spencer Perceval is the only British Prime Minister to have been assassinated whilst in office. In 1812, he was assassinated by John Bellingham, who was tried and execut­ ed for the murder. This article is a consideration of the circumstances sur­ rounding the assassination, and an assessment of the fairness of the subse­ quent trial and execution of John Bellingham. THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In 1812, the year in which the assassination took place, George III was King of England; however, due to the King's mental condition, the Prince of Wales had been appointed as Regent.' Spencer Perceval, a Tory, was Prime Minister, having been appointed to this office in 1809, follow­ ing the death of the Duke of Portland.2 On the international front, Britain had been at war with France since 1793, although there had been a short break in hostilities following the Treaty of Amiens in 1802. Commencing in 1806, in an attempt to weaken Britain, Napoleon had imposed a blockade on Britain by means of a series of Decrees) The measures involved the confiscation of British goods, wherever seized, and also a prohibition on ships which had used British ports from entering French ports.s In essence, French citizens, allies of the French and also neutral countries were prohibited from trading with Britain or her colonies.> Commencing in 1807, Britain had adopted *Visiting Research Scholar, Institute of Maritime Law, Faculty of Law, University of Southampton, England.

    FREEDOMS POWER THE HISTORY AND PROMISE OF LIBERALISM 1ST EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Paul Starr | 9780465081875 | | | | | Freedoms Power The History and Promise of Liberalism 1st edition PDF Book Enslin, Penny Spencer Perceval , Tory, - Perceval bears a dubious distinction as the only British prime minister to be assassinated. Within a week, Britain was forced into an embarrassing climb-down. The disagreement among liberals over whether government should promote individual freedom rather than merely protect it is reflected to some extent in the different prevailing conceptions of liberalism in the United States and Europe since the late 20th century. On the equity feminist view, a law prohibiting women to become surgeons is coercive because it constitutes a threat of loss of liberty or property. It is this very eagerness to welcome and encourage useful change, however, that distinguishes the liberal from the conservative , who believes that change is at least as likely to result in loss as in gain. In its intellectual and political life, Europe has become distinctly more liberal than at any time at least since By far the most common argument in the classical-liberal or libertarian feminist literature is consequentialist. Is it unlimited? They also support laws against sex discrimination in education, employment, and public accommodations. Thus freedom from coercive interference fails to capture what human dignity requires. Instead, she calls on the women's movement to cultivate in women and men a sensitivity and an aversion to this kind of injustice, and to develop remedies. Banting, K. That is, families must be just.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

  • Spencer Perceval Assassination Papers Go Online
    8 May 2012 Assassination papers go online to commemorate 200th anniversary Documents from The National Archives relating to the assassination of the British Prime Minister Spencer Perceval have been published online ahead of the 200th anniversary of his death. Spencer Perceval was shot in the lobby of the House of Commons on 11 May 1812 by the Liverpudlian merchant John Bellingham and died from his injuries shortly afterwards. He remains the only British Prime Minister to have died this way. Papers at The National Archives, available to view online for the first time, include letters and court documents from the trial of John Bellingham at the Old Bailey. Eye witness testimony, such as that of Henry Burgess, a Mayfair solicitor, paints a vivid picture of the events of that day: “He saw a gentleman coming forward towards the door of the house staggering and at the same time he heard a cry of „murder, murder!‟ This gentleman had his hand to his breast and exclaimed „oh!‟ faintly and fell forward on his face.” (TS 11/224) Another witness, the MP William Smith (grandfather of Florence Nightingale), helped carry the stricken Prime Minister into the Speaker‟s Secretary‟s room in the House of Commons. “The blood soon began to issue from his mouth and no sign of life remained but some convulsive sighs and sobs which together with his pulse in a few minutes ceased entirely.” (TS 11/224) The assassin John Bellingham was apprehended at the scene and although in a state of “extreme agitation” he explained the reasons for his actions as “want of redress of grievances and a refusal by government or words to that effect”.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 TH"£Sc S F 776y 2 Abstract Historians have generally dismissed the ministry of Henry Addington as an absurd interlude in the political career of William Pitt, the Younger, and the few attempts to rehabilitate Addington have been unable to overcome the weight of this negative historiography. The focus of contemporary and historical criticism has centred on the foreign and war policies of the ministry, but this has failed to take into account the serious and interrelated diplomatic, military, social, and political problems faced by the government. Social unrest caused largely by high prices of grain, political pressure from interests that had been hurt by the closure of European markets to British trade, and a poor diplomatic and strategic position meant that peace was highly desirable but that concessions were necessary to obtain it.

  • The Home Office and Public Disturbance, C.1800-1832
    The Home Office and Public Disturbance, c.1800-1832 Nathan Ashley Bend Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD. May 2018 ii Abstract This thesis examines the role of the Home Office in the machinery of order from c.1800-1832. It combines institutional enquiry with the study of popular protest by examining protest from the viewpoint of the Home Office. It looks at how the growth of the Home Office was stagnated due to efforts to economise, and how it transformed its systems to make them more efficient in response to peaks of administrative work caused by popular tumult. The different roles that each person performed in the Home Office is outlined, and by doing so the pivotal role of the permanent under- secretary of state, who remains underrepresented in histories of protest, is exposed. It also looks at what powers the home secretary had at his disposal, and how they were used to repress food riots, the Luddite disturbances, the movement for parliamentary reform, the Swing riots, political agitation leading to the Great Reform Act, and trade unions. It compares the different approaches of home secretaries and argues that although the use of powers was generally guided by established precedent, others such as domestic espionage were more divisive, and were influenced by the personality and experience of the home secretary. The thesis also examines the relationships between the Home Office hierarchy and government departments with authorities in the provinces. This thesis brings together all the available records which relate to the Home Office as an institution and those which relate to public disturbance.
