Between Apprenticeship and Skill: Acquiring Knowledge outside the academy in Early Modern England Patrick Wallis Argument Apprenticeship was probably the largest mode of organized learning in early modern European societies, and artisan practitioners commonly began as apprentices. Yet little is known about how youths actually gained skills. I develop a model of vocational pedagogy that accounts for the characteristics of apprenticeship and use a range of legal and autobiographical sources to examine the contribution of different forms of training in England.

  • Ship's Boys: Child Labor and New London's Whaling Industry
    Ship's Boys: Child Labor and New London's Whaling Industry Barbara M. Tucker Abstract In the early nineteenth century, southern New England was undergoing tremendous change. Soil depletion, out-migration, industrialization, and immigration all caused considerable anxiety. The sense of community gave way to individualism; the pace of life quickened, and old relationships deteriorated. Additionally, wars, economic panics and depressions that lasted from 1836-1844 caused people to fear for their futures. What could young boys expect from this new society and economy? They knew that they had to work or go to school. For most education was costly in both time and money. Then there were the new factory towns such as Jewett City, Willimantic, and Putnam that offered unskilled jobs in the cotton and woolen mills. Or a boy could seek work as a hired hand. For many these alternatives were unacceptable, and they began to look to the sea for work. The "golden age" of whaling occurred during this period as well. New Bedford, Nantucket, and Provincetown Massachusetts as well as New London and the surrounding communities of Stonington and Groton, Connecticut offered employment to men and boys looking for work. For many, seafaring appeared glamorous, romantic, exciting, and even a bit dangerous. All of these qualities far overshadowed a future in a mill or working on a farm. And the whaling industry needed hands. Whaling had a tainted reputation, and seasoned seamen avoided such work. In 1841 the Hartford Courant noted that about one half of the men who joined whaling crews were green hands and called them troublesome material.

  • Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early
    Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Rachel Tamar Van All Rights Reserved. ABSTRACT Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van This study examines the international flow of ideas and goods in eighteenth and nineteenth century New England port towns through the experience of a Boston-based commercial network. It traces the evolution of the commercial network established by the intertwined Perkins, Forbes, and Sturgis families of Boston from its foundations in the Atlantic fur trade in the 1740s to the crises of succession in the early 1840s. The allied Perkins firms and families established one of the most successful American trading networks of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and as such it provides fertile ground for investigating mercantile strategies in early America. An analysis of the Perkins family’s commercial network yields three core insights. First, the Perkinses illuminate the ways in which American mercantile strategies shaped global capitalism. The strategies and practices of American merchants and mariners contributed to a growing international critique of mercantilist principles and chartered trading monopolies. While the Perkinses did not consider themselves “free traders,” British observers did. Their penchant for smuggling and seeking out niches of trade created by competing mercantilist trading companies meant that to critics of British mercantilist policies, American merchants had an unfair advantage that only the liberalization of trade policy could rectify.

  • Quantifying the Practice of Apprenticeship in Early Modern Europe
    Working Papers No. 118/09 Rules and Reality: Quantifying the Practice of Apprenticeship in Early Modern Europe . Chris Minns & Patrick Wallis © Chris Minns & Patrick Wallis LSE March 2009 Department of Economic History London School of Economics Houghton Street London, WC2A 2AE Tel: +44 (0) 20 7955 7860 Fax: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 Rules and Reality: Quantifying the Practice of Apprenticeship in Early Modern Europe1 Chris Minns and Patrick Wallis* Abstract: This paper uses recently digitised samples of apprentices and masters in London and Bristol to quantify the practice of apprenticeship in the late 17th century. Apprenticeship appears much more fluid than is traditionally understood. Many apprentices did not complete their terms of indenture; late arrival and early departure from the master’s household was widespread. Other apprentices appear to have been absent temporarily, returning to the master shortly before the end of their indenture. Regression analysis indicates that the patterns of presence and absence are broadly reflective of the resources and outside opportunities available to apprentices. Early modern apprenticeship has been characterized as rigid, inflexible and inefficiently regulated. In many ways, the terms of debate remain those set by Adam Smith when he attacked the ‘corporation spirit’ of towns and cities for hindering competition and raising prices. Smith focused his ire on apprenticeship, which formed the cornerstone of the exclusive privileges of urban masters. At its simplest, apprenticeship involves the exchange of labour and sometimes money for training given on the job. In early modern Europe, apprenticeship was often highly regulated, with rules on who could enter service, how long they must 1 The research on which this paper is based was supported by the British Academy.

  • Bath, 1770-1835
    'A RESONATING VOID': STRATEGIES AND RESPONSES TO POVERTY, BATH, 1770-1835. JANET MARY CHIVERS A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements ofthe University of the West ofEngland, Bristol, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Bath Spa University. School of Historical and Cultural Studies November 2006. Abstract This thesis addresses the lives of the poor in Bath in the period 1770 to 1835, a period of rapid expansion, spatially and demographically, and a time of change both locally and nationally. Because of the importance to Bath of image, the labouring poor have been marginalised. This thesis will help to fill 'a resonating void' in Bath's historiography. It makes an important addition to urban history as a study of a spa resort, and adds to the rather patchy history of poverty in an eighteenth-century urban context. It confirms the view that women were the main recipients of attention under the Old Poor Laws. Using Poor Law records, charity records and Coroners' records, the thesis shows how the poor used the Poor Laws to access poor relief and establish settlements. In times of illness or accident they applied to medical charities. Some women turned to prostitution, and some subsequently entered the Bath Penitentiary and Lock Hospital seeking rehabilitation. Some single, female, domestic servants committed infanticide and some of the poor took their own lives. The authorities acted promptly and pragmatically to examine, and possibly remove, applicants, often single women. They manipulated the apprenticeship scheme as part of a poor relief strategy, and to ensure future labour requirements.

New Lanark Mills – A Brief Introduction The Old Statistical Account for Lanarkshire records that David Dale (1739-1806) feued the site of New Lanark from Lord Braxfield. It seemed an unlikely location for what was to become the largest cotton manufacturing business in the country, as it was deep in the valley, marshy, and a long way from Glasgow over bad roads. However, there was a plentiful supply of cheap energy provided by the nearby Falls of Clyde, and it was this feature that attracted Dale to the site. In 1784 he brought Richard Arkwright, the inventor of the ‘water frame’ to view the Falls, and they entered into an agreement to establish cotton spinning mills, Dale undertaking the excavation of the mill lade, and the building work, while Arkwright provided the technical training of Dale's men to build and operate the spinning frames.
