  • Manuscript of the Month May 2015 Chelsea Election
    Manuscript of the Month May 2015 Chelsea Election: The Final Contest, satirical print, 1868 Overnight on 7th May, Returning Officers throughout the country will take centre stage as another general election reaches its climax. Within London, seventy three seats are being contested. But while the thirteen marginal constituencies command most attention, seasoned election followers are keeping a watchful eye on proceedings at Kensington, which has endured turbulent times of late. During the 1868 general election, however, Kensington was the scene of a bitterly fought contest. And in the thick of it was Sir Henry Ainslie Hoare Bt. The general election of 1868 pitted Disraeli (Conservative) against Gladstone (Liberal) for the first time. But the passing of the Reform Act a year earlier meant it took place within a dramatically altered political landscape. For not only had the electorate doubled from one to two million, but several new borough constituencies had been created, including two in London: Hackney, carved out of Tower Hamlets, and Chelsea, which encompassed Kensal Green, Fulham, Kensington and Hammersmith as well as Chelsea itself. Under the terms of the Act, Chelsea would return two MPs, while each elector was entitled to two votes. So attractive was Chelsea, with its prime location and huge electorate, that even before the Reform Bill passed into law prospective candidates had begun making their presence felt. But first to formally throw their hats into the ring were two Liberals: 24 year old Charles Wentworth Dilke, Chelsea born and bred, son of a sitting MP; and 43 year old Sir Henry Ainslie Hoare Bt, owner of the extensive Stourhead estates in Wiltshire, whose late father had been a longstanding Partner in the family banking business.

  • The British Working Class and the General Election of 1868 1
    ROYDEN HARRISON THE BRITISH WORKING CLASS AND THE GENERAL ELECTION OF 1868 1 The history of working-class politics in Britain during the last hundred years might be written in terms of changing attitudes towards Liberal- ism; a Liberalism which was continuously redefining itself as its social composition altered and political circumstances changed. Successive generations of working-class leaders attempted both to identify themselves with Liberalism and to disengage themselves from it. Those who saw the political future of labour in terms of full incorporation within the Liberal party were never left unchallenged; those who be- lieved in political independence rarely thought of that independence as involving a complete break with Liberal values. From the eighteen- sixties onwards the conflict between the desire to be assimilated and the urge to independence was continuously present within individuals as well as within movements. 11 must express my gratitude to Asa Briggs, Professor of Modern History at the University of Leeds, for his valuable criticism and encouragement. I am indebted to the Sheffield University Publications Committee for a grant which enabled me to consult materials held in the Howell Collection, Bishopsgate Institute London. Some time after this article had been completed, Mr H. J. Hanham's book, "Elections and Party Management" appeared. It was at once recognised as a work of great industry and scholarship; an important contribution to our understanding of politics in the age of Gladstone and Disraeli. It included a chapter on working class radicalism and good use was made of the manuscript volume of "Election Reports" to which I had frequently referred in the course of writing the present article.

Keywords: Business networks, British cotton textile industry, innovation, finance, regions, entrepreneurship, mergers. JEL: L14, L26, O33, N24, N83 Correspondence details: Steven Toms Professor of Accounting, Leeds University Business School Room 2.09, Maurice Keyworth Building University of Leeds Leeds LS2 9JT Tel: 44(113)-3434456 Email: [email protected] Word count: c.11,000 Abstract The paper considers the dual aspect of social networks in terms of 1) product innovators and developers and 2) the providers of finance. The growth of networks can be explained as a function of incumbents and entrants’ preferences to link with specific nodes defined according to the underlying duality. Such preferences can be used to explain network evolution and growth dynamics in the cotton textile industry, from being the first sector to develop in the industrial revolution through to its maturity. The network preference approach potentially explains several features of the long run industry life cycle: 1. The early combination of innovators with access to extensive credit networks, protected by entry barriers determined by pre-existing network structures, leading to lower capital costs for incumbents and rapid productivity growth, c.1780-1830.

  • Baptist Members of Parliament 1847-1914
    Baptist Members of Parliament 1847-1914 RELATIVELY few Baptists have reached the House of Commons. It is hard to give a precise total. Too little evidence survives, especially from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, for any catalogue to be definitive, but a rough calculation would put their number over the centuries at about eighty. Of these, some thirty-eight, about half, sat in the parliaments of the period from 1847 to 1914.1 Before 1847 there had been no Baptist M.P.s at all for over sixty years, but from the parliament of that year they began to be returned in ones and twos. The trend was steadily upwards in the second half of the nineteenth century. This was both because the number of Baptists in the population was increasing and because more Baptists had achieved the social standing that was expected of a parliamentary candidate. The climax of the process came in 1906, when Baptists shared in the electoral triumph that brought some 180 Nonconformists into the Commons. There were therefore far more Baptist M.P.s towards the end of the period than near its beginning. They may be divided into three groups. First there is the handful who entered parliament before the Second Reform Act of 1867; secondly there is the larger number who were first returned between 1868 and 1899; and thirdly there is the sizable ·body of men elected between 1900 and 1914. Each group had characteristics stamped on them by their period, but each included men of outstanding individuality. This paper attempts to bring out something of what members of the groups had in common and also some of the personal qualities, even eccentricities, that marked them.
