In the history of Manchester, and indeed of South Lancashire as a whole, no other event or enterprise can compare with it in its far-reaching effects. The story, too, in many respects contains all the elements of a romance. It is the relation of a desperate and almost hopeless fight against opposi- tion of the most powerful and uncompromising character, and it is meet that the names and qualities of the men engaged in the strife, and the nature of the difficulties which they encountered and overcame, should find a permanent record. To rescue both individuals and incidents from oblivion, and to give a connected narrative of the course of events from the conception to the completion of the canal, is the object of the present work.

MANCHESTER '. PRINTED BY CHAS. SEVER, KING STREET WEST. HF 30 £ PREFACE. In the course of the year 1895 it was discovered that some old minute books and papers in the possession ot the Manchester Chamber of Commerce were the records of a Commercial Society, founded in 1794, of which it was itself a continuation. Subsequent examination of these archives showed that they were of much historical value, and that there were similar bodies existing at Leeds, </> Halifax, Exeter, and Birmingham, which had also exer- cised a not unimportant influence upon commercial developments at the close of the eighteenth and in the earlier years of the nineteenth century. Only in the case ftj of Manchester are the records of that period known to 2 have been preserved. t— More than a hundred years had then passed since the founding of the original body, but it was thought that the Centenary of the Chamber might not inappropriately be marked, even after the proper date, by a public sc celebration. An invitation was accordingly addressed to the Earl of Rosebery, and accepted by him, to deliver an address on some topic suitable to the occasion.

  • Manchester and Lille in Transnational Perspective, 1860 – 1914
    Provincial Modernity: Manchester and Lille in Transnational Perspective, 1860 – 1914 Harry Andrew Higgo Stopes UCL This thesis is submitted for the degree of PhD. 1 I, Harry Andrew Higgo Stopes, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract In this thesis I explore the ways middle classes in two provincial cities imagined the relationship between the city and the rest of the world. How did they make sense of local identity in the light of economic, geopolitical and cultural globalisation? I examine the political cultures and social structures that sustained their ways of thinking, showing how their responses were shaped by the economic connections of the two textile cities, and were articulated in municipal cultural policy around art galleries and the opera. I follow other historians in arguing that although the nineteenth century is typically portrayed as the age of nationalism, the cultures of 'second cities' make a powerful contribution to the development of European modernity. Where I depart from other work on second cities is in my desire to work comparatively and with a transnational frame. I show that ideas about local character informed the ways provincial elites responded to globalisation around the turn of the century. In the first research chapter I discuss the composition of the middle classes in the two cities, and the institutions and practices which bound them together. In the second research chapter I discuss opera in Lille. Nineteenth century opera is traditionally seen as an important way for its patrons to promote particular ideas about national identity.
