PREFACE k THISrecord of the history of Manchester College has been - prepared at the instance of the College Committee, and is E published on their responsibility and at their sole cost. It is based upon ample material provided by the long series :' of annual reports and the seventeen large folio volumes Y- F'$2 of the minutes of the Committee, and further volumes of collected College documents, together with two volumes of the minutes of the Warrington Academy. Much information . of historical value has been gathered from the published addresses of Principals and other members of the Teaching Staff, and the Visitors. The record is also greatly indebted to Dr. Drummond's Life aad Letters of james A4artineau, and other memoirs of College teachers and distinguished students, to which reference will be found in the notes. a It has been a great privilege to an old student of the College, whose father also was a student both at York and Manchester, to be allowed to undertake this work, in which he received encouragement and invaluable help from two other elder friends and old students, Dr. Edwin Odgers and Alexander Gordon. To their memory, as to that of his own revered and beloved teachers in the College, Martineau, Drummond, Upton, Carpenter, he would have desired, had it been worthy, humbly and gratefully to dedicate his work.

The words of dedication, now inscribed in stone at Oxford, were used at the foundation of the College in Manchester in 1786, by Dr. Thomas Barnes, the first Divinity tutor, in his opening address; and for more than - another hundred years, from the earliest days of the ejected Nonconformists of 1662, the ideal of service in the cause of religion and learning, for which the Barnes inscription stands as watchword, had been maintained. - Manchester College, or the Manchester Academy, as it was first called, was indeed a new foundation, but it stands in the line of a brave succession.

  • EDITORIAL UR April Number Last Year Recorded the Death of Dr
    EDITORIAL UR April number last year recorded the death of Dr. _ Nightingale, our President, and M:r. H. A. Muddiman, O our Treasurer. This year we have the sorrowful duty of chronicling the death of the Rev. William Pierce, M.A., for many years ·Secretary of the Society and Dr. Nightingale's successor as President. The Congregational Historical Society has had no more devoted member and officer than M:r. Pierce, and it is difficult to imagine a meeting of the Society without him. He spent his life in the service of the Congregational churches and filled some noted pastorates, including those at New Court, Tollington Park, and Doddridge, Northampton, but he contrived to get through an immense amount of historical research-for many years he had a special table in the North Library of the British Museum. He has left three large volumes as evidence of his industry and his en­ thusiasm-An Historical Introduction to the Marprektte Tracts, The Marprel,ate Tracts, and John Penry. They are all valuable works, perhaps the reprint of the Tracts especially so, for it not only makes easy of access comparatively rare pamphlets, but it enables us to rebut at once and for always the extraordinary statements made time and again-by writers who obviously have never read the Tracts-to the effect that they are scurri­ lous, indecent, &c., &c. In this volume Pierce had not much opportunity to show his prejudices, and therefore the volume is his nearest approach to scientific history. The faculty which made him so delightful a companion-the vigour with which he held his views and denounced those who disagreed with him-sometimes led him from the impartiality which should mark the ideal historian : ~ he could damn a bishop he was perfectly happy! But his bias Is always obvious : it never misleads, and it will not prevent his work from living on and proving of service to all students .of Elizabethan religious history.

  • The Sydney Unitarian News
    The The Unitarian Church in NSW PO Box 355, Darlinghurst NSW 1300 15 Francis Street, East Sydney (near Museum Station) Tel: (02) 9360 2038 SUN www.sydneyunitarianchurch.org Editor: M.R. McPhee Sydney Unitarian News August/September 2013 JAMES MARTINEAU, UNITARIAN PHILOSOPHER This is the story of a legendary Unitarian whom we in the Antipodes should know more about, especially given that ANZUUA is currently seeking ways and means to train and accredit our own ministers. James Martineau played an essential role in creating the first Unitarian seminary in the UK, then known as the Manchester New College. Martineau was born in Norwich on 21 April 1805, the descendant of Huguenot refugees who had fled from persecution in France a century earlier. His father, Thomas, was a manufacturer of exotic fabrics and the family attended an English Presbyterian church. (They were Rational Dissenters but could not legally call themselves Unitarians before 1813.) James was educated at Norwich Grammar School and later at Dr. Lant Carpenter‘s boarding school in Bristol, from which he graduated in 1821. He was then apprenticed to a civil engineer in Derby but he was prompted to become a minister by the death of Rev. Henry Turner (son of William). He entered Manchester College in York in 1822 and was instructed by Charles Wellbeloved (the principal), John Kenrick and William Turner. He graduated with high honours in 1825 after an oration entitled ‗The Necessity of Cultivating the Imagination as a Regulator of the Devotional Feelings‘. Martineau taught for a year at Carpenter‘s school and then became co-pastor at the Eustace Street Chapel in Dublin in 1828.

  • GEOFFREY NUTTALL Geoffrey Fillingham Nuttall 1911–2007
    GEOFFREY NUTTALL Geoffrey Fillingham Nuttall 1911–2007 Formative influences GEOFFREY F. NUTTALL, ecclesiastical historian, was born 8 November 1911 and died 24 July 2007. Although it was his achievement as a histor­ ian, especially as an ecclesiastical historian, that ensured his election to the British Academy in 1991, he was educated as a classicist and he became a minister of religion. Pastoral ministry remained his vocation. To all outward appearance he followed a conventional career for a man of his background. His father was a general practitioner in a rising health resort. On both sides of his family there had been generations of parsons, professional men, superior tradesmen and prosperous farmers. Several of them were JPs. All were the sort to provide civic ballast for country towns nationwide. Geoffrey Nuttall took great pride in this. His understanding of it informed his work as a historian. His roots encom­ passed Cumberland, Lancashire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Yorkshire. They were small­town and rural but they incorporated a broader urban experience: Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Manchester. As with all such families, there was vicarious satisfaction in grand, if ill­defined and distant, connections (the Listers of Gisburne, Barons Ribblesdale) and in links with industrial paternalism (Sir William Hartley, the jam manufacturer, was ‘Cousin Jam’; he was in fact Nuttall’s second cousin twice removed).1 There was a closer link with an intelligent bishop, 1 Sir William Hartley (1846–1922). See D. J. Jeremy, ‘Hartley, Sir William Pickles (1846–1922)’, in D. J. Jeremy and C.

    1 ‘Do the duty that lies nearest to thee’: Elizabeth Gaskell, Philanthropy and Writing Louise Simone Armshaw Submitted by Louise Simone Armshaw to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Master of Philosophy in English September 2011. 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) ……………………………………………………………………………… 2 3 Abstract This thesis examines the relationship between Gaskell’s philanthropy and her three social problem novels. Examining Gaskell in the context of Victorian philanthropy, I will argue that this is a relationship of far greater complexity than has previously been perceived. Gaskell’s Unitarian faith will be of particular relevance as different denominations often had unique approaches to philanthropy, and I will begin by examining Gaskell’s participation with philanthropy organised by her congregation, taking the charity bazaar as my example of this. Examining Gaskell’s three social problem novels in chronological order I will demonstrate that Gaskell rejects these forms of organised Victorian philanthropy, referred to as ‘associated philanthropy,’ in favour of developing her own vision of philanthropy in her novels. I will examine how Gaskell’s participation with ‘associated philanthropy,’ and the individual pursuit of her own philanthropic interests, shapes the development of her philanthropic vision in her fiction.
