Communications should be addressed to the Editors at Friends House Editorial DWIN BRONNER'S Presidential Address to the Society, delivered at Exeter on Saturday, August 15, E1970, under the title: "The Other Branch: relationships between London Yearly Meeting and the Hicksites in the I9th century", is published separately. The lecture was given in the Newman Building, University of Exeter, at the time of London Yearly Meeting, then being held for the first time in the city of Exeter. The Autumn meeting was held at Friends House, London, November 6, 1970, and was addressed by Jennie Ellinor, formerly headmistress of Friends' School, Saffron Walden. The address concerned the school's forerunner, and was entitled: "Clerkenwell in the i8th century: a study in Quaker attitudes in education." We hope to publish this in a future issue. We are pleased to print some notes by another of our transatlantic Presidents, if Henry J. Cadbury will excuse the term, when he has done so much to elucidate obscure passages in Quaker history on this side of the ocean as well as on his own. The contributions fill in gaps in our information on the First Publishers of Truth, and concern Sebastian Franck. Andrew W. Brink, of the English department of McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, studies the connections between John Milton and Friends, basing his observations on the evidence and opinions recently made available in William Riley Parker's magisterial biography of the poet. 157 lA 158 EDITORIAL In the field of eighteenth-century history, we have a paper by David M. Butler, of Kendal, on the Northern Yearly Meeting, which throughout the century held meetings annually in places in the north west of England, from Longtown near Carlisle in the north to Newcastle-under- Lyme in the south, but never once in Manchester. Following his work on the Quaker deputation to Russia just before the Crimean War, which appeared in our last number, Stephen Frick contributes a paper on his research into the Christian Appeal for peace, drafted and circulated by Meeting for Sufferings in London, December i854-April 1855. Last year's president, William H. Marwick, continues his studies on Scottish Friends with a paper on twentieth century developments. The number also includes a brief description by Dr. J. S. Andrews of Lancaster University Library surveying the Lancaster University Quaker Collection. There are the usual features concerning Historical Research, Archives and Notes and Queries. Volume 52 of the Journal will be completed in the fourth number (for 1971) which will include the volume index. Italian Edition of THE JOURNAL OF GEORGE FOX, 1969 Through the efforts of a special Committee of Friends residing in Italy (A. Braid, M. Comberti, G. Graziani, M. Tassoni, P. Thomforde), in co-operation with the Editing Co. "Religioni Oggi Edizioni", it has been possible to publish an Italian Edition of the Journal of George Fox. The edition, numbering about 450 pages, is greatly enriched by the Introduction and notes of Prof. Giovanni Pioli, translator of the Journal. Giovaimi Pioli is considered a great scholar, an outstanding champion of religious freedom, conscientious objection, and a pioneer for world peace. The cost of the volume has been set at It. 4,000 lire for a single copy (about $6.5) with a 15% discount for 5 copies; 25% for 10 copies; 30% for more than ten. The price includes shipment. Orders can be placed by advance payment through cheque addressed to: RELIGIONI OGGI EDIZIONI, Via Castelfidardo 8-00185 Rome, Italy, or to Guido Graziani, Via Nomentana, 429-00162 Rome, Italy. More First Publishers of Truth TUDENTS of Quaker beginnings have come to recognize the value of the efforts made when the movement was Stwenty-five to seventy years old to recover local informa­ tion on the subject. The results existed in part in a packet in the possession, about 1840, of Josiah Foster of Tottenham and consulted then by Abram Rawlinson Barclay (Friends House Library, Portfolio, 31/124), who believed they were solicited about 1717 by London Yearly Meeting in the desire to assist William Sewel in his History. At a later date Norman Penney found some ninety papers generally of this type collected in Portfolio 7 which he edited in five parts 1905- 1907 under the title The First Publishers of Truth (usually abbreviated as F.P.T.). Several of these are duplicates and others are really answers to other questionnaires of the period, on, for example, the local sufferings of Friends as No. 46 (London, pp. 153-157), Nos. 55-60 (Norwich, pp. 169- 193), or the lives of local Friends who became ministers (No. 75 Westmorland, pp. 241-273), or who suffered as martyrs in the locality as Nos. 47-49 (London, pp. 157-162). On the other hand for London a more likely answer to the F.P.T. questionnaire is embedded in the life of Gilbert Latey edited by his nephew Richard Hawkins (see J.F.H.S. 36 (1939) pp. 52-58), while for Norwich the replies were recorded in the MS "Book of the Sufferings of the People of God called Quakers in the City of Norwich", to judge from the quota­ tions from it in A. J. Eddington's The First Fifty Years of Quakerism in Norwich, 1932, pp. 21, 22. Additional materials were published by Norman Penney in his text and in issues of J.F.H.S., summarized in J.F.H.S. 31 (1934) pp. 3ff, where I added further examples for Lancashire and Warwickshire. Other addenda for Stafford­ shire and Lancashire (Hawkshead) were published in J.F.H.S. 32 (1935) pp. 511, 53. The present contribution is intended to continue the process of supplementing F.P.T. IRELAND It has commonly been supposed that the P.P. T. question­ naire was limited to England and Wales. Benjamin Bealing's 159 l6o MORE FIRST PUBLISHERS OF TRUTH lists of counties heard from and not heard from mention none outside. 1 But the evidence for a similar undertaking in Ireland is unmistakable. Its date does not coincide with any of the three periods, 1676, 1704 and 1720, when the London central meetings circulated the requests. It occurred about 1698. Its initiative can be traced back to the National Half Year's Meeting. Whether it was suggested by an English Friend or meeting does not appear. William Penn, who had some hand in it at the time of the first English questionnaire2 was a respected visitor in Ireland about that time. And the terms of those early queries are reflected in the Irish formula­ tion. I repeat them here for comparison in substance though not any uniform phrasing Who first brought the glad tidings of Truth? What sufferings did they have to bear? What Friends received their message? What labourers went forth to preach the Gospel? What judgments have fallen upon persecutors? What enemies have been converted?3 The minutes of the National Half Year's Meeting held at Dublin the Qth, loth and nth days of 3rd Month, 1698, include the following: It being proposed that Friends in every province take care at their respective monthly meetings to inform themselves of the rise and progress of Truth and Friends in their respective places as, First Who, came in the beginning with Truth's testimony among them 2dly, Who received Truth first in those parts 3dly, What eminent sufferings followed for their testimony bearing 4thly, What magistrates were moderate and who were persecutors 5thly, What judgments came upon persecutors 6thly, What Friends in the particular meetings the Lord brought forth in a publique testimony, and when ythly, Likewise what faithful men there were and good examples that had not a publique testimony that served in their generation according to Truth* 1 F.P.T. Frontispiece. * See Bulletin of Friends Historical Association, 33, 1944, PP- 67-72. 3 These appear to have been the six questions sent out in 1676. Cf.

  • John Darby and the Whig Canon
    JOHN DARBY AND THE WHIG CANON I A celebrated series of books by the English commonwealthmen of the seventeenth century was published between 1698 and 1700. The series included major editions of works by John Milton, Algernon Sidney, and James Harrington, and the civil war memoirs of Edmund Ludlow, Denzil Holles, John Berkeley, and Thomas Fairfax. Collectively these texts have become known as the ‘whig canon’.1 Over the following century this set of writings would profoundly shape the development of republican thought on both sides of the Atlantic.2 The texts of the whig canon would be cited approvingly by thinkers as diverse as Bolingbroke and the founding fathers of the American constitution.3 At their original moment of publication, however, the series was designed to bolster opposition to the consolidation of power by the court whigs under William III. By reasserting ‘true whig’ principles against the corruption of the apostates who made their peace with the court, these historic works were made to chime with the political challenges faced by the opposition in the present moment: attacking the maintenance of standing armies by the state, inveighing against priestcraft, and asserting the primacy of the ancient constitution. 1 Caroline Robbins, The eighteenth-century commonwealthman (Cambridge, MA, 1959), p. 32. 2 J. G. A. Pocock, ‘The varieties of whiggism from exclusion to reform: a history of ideology and discourse’, in Virtue, commerce, and history: essays on political thought and history, chiefly in the eighteenth century (Cambridge, 1985), pp. 215-310; Robbins, Commonwealthman; Blair Worden, Roundhead reputations: the English civil wars and the passions of posterity (London, 2001); Alan Craig Houston, Algernon Sidney and the republican heritage in England and America (Princeton, 1991).

  • Word Count: 1999 'A Person to Be Truly
    Word Count: 1999 ‘A person to be truly admired for nothing but apostasy and ambition and exceeding Tiberius in dissimulation’ [Slingsby Bethel 1668] Given that in 2002, Cromwell was voted the third greatest Briton of all time, how do you explain the contempt shown him by some of his contemporaries? Undoubtedly Cromwell is a challenging figure, having pursued religious toleration and persecution, championed the parliamentary cause and reverted to military rule. Given this complexity, one-sided portrayals deserve scrutiny. The adulation Cromwell seems to have received in the 2002 popular poll is likely attributable to a degree of public ignorance. The popular exaggeration of Cromwell’s seismic rise to power from ‘humble’ origins has made him appear heroic - Cromwell was actually a gentleman by birth, his brief time as a tenant farmer the consequence of his own intemperance in Huntingdon in 1630.1 Moreover, an emphasis on Cromwell’s self-represented integrity, propelled by Carlyle, has perhaps masked the cruelty and ruthlessness of some of his actions.2 Pejorative characterisations of Cromwell can be similarly explained. Cromwell was accused of being personally ambitious, radical, hypocritical, cruel and lawless, by contemporaries before and after the Restoration in 1660. Cromwell’s creation of the Protectorate in 1653 was his most controversial moment, to many an indication of his ambition, hypocrisy and lawlessness. Despite insisting he only intended to ‘keep the peace of the parish’, Cromwell was accused, as early as 1648, of being driven

Introduction The unpopular English Catholic Queen, Mary Tudor died in 1558 after a brief reign during which she earned the epithet ‘Bloody Mary’ for her persecution of Protestants. Mary’s Protestant younger sister succeeded her as Queen Elizabeth I. In 1559, during the first year of Elizabeth’s reign, Parliament passed the Act of Uniformity, declaring the state-run Church of England as the only legitimate religious authority, and compulsory for all citizens.

  • Radical Republicanism in England, America, and the Imperial Atlantic, 1624-1661
    RADICAL REPUBLICANISM IN ENGLAND, AMERICA, AND THE IMPERIAL ATLANTIC, 1624-1661 by John Donoghue B.A., Westminster College, New Wilmington, PA, 1993 M.A., University of Pittsburgh, 1999 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2006 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Faculty of Arts and Sciences This dissertation was presented by John Donoghue It was defended on December 2, 2005 and approved by William Fusfield, Associate Professor, Department of Communication Janelle Greenberg, Professor, Department of History Jonathan Scott, Professor, Department of History Dissertation Director: Marcus Rediker, Professor, Department of History ii Copyright by John Donoghue 2006 iii RADICAL REPUBLICANISM IN ENGLAND, AMERICA, AND THE IMPERIAL ATLANTIC, 1624-1661 John Donoghue, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, April 30, 2006 This dissertation links the radical politics of the English Revolution to the history of puritan New England. It argues that antinomians, by rejecting traditional concepts of social authority, created divisive political factions within the godly party while it waged war against King Charles I. At the same time in New England, antinomians organized a political movement that called for a democratic commonwealth to limit the power of ministers and magistrates in religious and civil affairs. When this program collapsed in Massachusetts, hundreds of colonists returned to an Old England engulfed by civil war. Joining English antinomians, they became lay preachers in London, New Model Army soldiers, and influential supporters of the republican Levellers. This dissertation also connects the study of republican political thought to the labor history of the first British Empire.

  • Pirate Articles and Their Society, 1660-1730
    ‘Piratical Schemes and Contracts’: Pirate Articles and their Society, 1660-1730 Submitted by Edward Theophilus Fox to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History In May 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract During the so-called ‘golden age’ of piracy that occurred in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in the later seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, several thousands of men and a handful of women sailed aboard pirate ships. The narrative, operational techniques, and economic repercussions of the waves of piracy that threatened maritime trade during the ‘golden age’ have fascinated researchers, and so too has the social history of the people involved. Traditionally, the historiography of the social history of pirates has portrayed them as democratic and highly egalitarian bandits, divided their spoil fairly amongst their number, offered compensation for comrades injured in battle, and appointed their own officers by popular vote. They have been presented in contrast to the legitimate societies of Europe and America, and as revolutionaries, eschewing the unfair and harsh practices prevalent in legitimate maritime employment. This study, however, argues that the ‘revolutionary’ model of ‘golden age’ pirates is not an accurate reflection of reality.

This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The right of Samuel James Burton to be identified as author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Ó The University of Leeds and Samuel James Burton iii Acknowledgements This thesis began life as a weekly essay written in Michaelmas term 2013 for a special author paper on John Dryden. The original essay was little more than two thousand words in length, looking principally at Dryden’s two direct addresses to London in Annus Mirabilis and The Medall. That it transformed into a doctoral thesis owes much to the enthusiasm generated by Peter McCullough. My greatest debt is to my doctoral supervisor, Paul Hammond, for his constant guidance, encouragement and diligence. I must afford thanks for his seemingly endless patience with the most burdensome of students. Catherine Batt was also a source of sage counsel at moments of difficulty. This thesis would not have been possible without the generosity of Kate and Jason Gatenby, as well as the School of English at the University of Leeds.

In the present Volume are printed the Registers of seven Devonshire parishes, and the Editor hopes that now a series \ for Devonshire has been commenced all the Parish Registers ^ of the County may be included in it. ^^ In the neighbouring counties much progress has been V made in this direction in the last few years, and we may -^ anticipate equal interest will be taken in the work of pre- \\ serving—through the means of the Press—the ancient Parish Registers of this County. In Cornwall upwards of 85, and in Somerset 79 Marriage Registers have been printed, while in the Dorset series, much more recently commenced, 36 Registers have already been rendered available by publication, and it is hoped that not less rapid progress will be effected in Devonshire. 13791 G4 The contents of the present Volume show how needful it is that steps should be taken to print our Parish Registers and place them beyond risk of destruction. Of the seven parishes included, only that of Uffculme possesses a Register going back to the earliest period of 1538 ; five do not com- mence until the seventeenth century and one not till 1752.
