From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

  • Nicholson, Hannah (2019) Print and Politics in the East Midlands
    Print and Politics in the East Midlands Constituencies c.1790-1832 Hannah Nicholson Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2018 Abstract This thesis is an examination of printed political ephemera, produced and distributed during election canvasses between 1790 and 1832. Previous studies have highlighted the popular, public nature of election rituals during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, although, to date, few have fully appreciated the level and range of printed literature produced during the course of canvassing. This thesis uses a broad range of printed and manuscript evidence including political ephemera, local newspapers, election receipts, and correspondences from borough and county elections, highlighting the level of work which went into orchestrating a canvass in the unreformed era, especially by candidates, their political agents, and printers. The focus of this study is the borough and county constituencies of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire, with particular emphasis on borough elections. Between 1790 and 1832, this region, along with the rest of the country, underwent profound social and political change, and so this thesis not only acts as an important test case for the operation of local political culture nationally, but also represents the first comprehensive study of printed electoral culture for the region. The central premise of this thesis is fourfold. Firstly, it aims to reinstate the importance of printed canvasses to the study of political culture and electoral politics, which have often been seen as secondary to the local press. Secondly, it argues that, such was the fast paced nature of elections and electioneering that, in comparison to provincial newspapers, handbills, broadsides, songs and i ballads offered a much more versatile form of communication between candidates and voters.

  • Imprisoned Debtors
    RESEARCH GUIDE 66 - Imprisoned Debtors CONTENTS Introduction Records of Debtors Records of Bankrupts Reading List Introduction By the 14th century all creditors could cause those owing them money to be committed to prison to try to secure the payment of their debts. Before 1841 the legal status of being a bankrupt and therefore able to pay off creditors and be discharged of all outstanding debts was confined to traders owing more than £100. Many debtors who were not traders or who owed less than £100 were confined indefinitely in prison, responsible for their debts but unable to pay them. They were often held in the same prisons as those remanded for trial and convicted offenders and formed one of the largest groups of prisoners. In 1776 John Howard found that 2,437 out of a total of 4,084 inmates were imprisoned for debt. Until 1869 debtors were allowed extensive privileges compared to other prisoners, including being allowed visitors, their own food and clothing, and the right to work at their trade or profession as far as was possible in prison. Periodic Acts of Parliament (37 between 1670 and 1800) for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors allowed the release of debtors from prison if they applied to a Justice of the Peace and submitted a schedule of their assets. In 1813 a Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors was established. The 1844 Insolvency Act abolished imprisonment for debts under £20 and allowed private persons to become bankrupts and lowered the financial limit to £50. The 1861 Bankruptcy Act abolished the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors and transferred its jurisdiction to the Bankruptcy Court.

Robarts Research Library. The titles are arranged alphabetically by country, then by province or state (if applicable) and by city. Two major collections of particular significance to this guide are 11 Early English Newspapers and Newspapers from the Russian Revolution Era. Unlike the majority of newspapers 11 listed here, none of the titles in either set can be accessed through the University of Toronto's online catalogue. Early English Newspapers is a collection of seventeenth and eighteenth century periodical literature. It 11 includes the British Library's Burney Collection of Early English Newspapers as well as the holdings of Oxford University's BodVean Library. Missing issues from these two collections, and some additional titles are supplied 11 from other important collections, such as the Yale University Library. The collection is an important source for contemporary history, literature, drama, and philosophy. In addition to newspapers, it includes broadsides, periodicals, and Charles Burney's manuscripts. Newspapers from the Russian Revolutionary Era is principally based on the holdings at Columbia University's Herbert Lehman Library. This collection covers almost every facet of the Revolution, and includes papers relating to the Revolution which were printed in other countries.
