    Labour Colonies for Gentlemen: Philanthropic Settlements and the Making of the Social Reformer in London, 1884-1914 Emily Nora Duthie A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University. February 2019 © Copyright by Emily Nora Duthie 2019 All Rights Reserved Statement of Sources The work presented in this dissertation is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original, except as acknowledged in the text. The material has not been submitted, in whole or in part, for a degree at The Australian National University or any other university. Acknowledgements Thanks are due to Dr Alexander Cook for his patient supervision and guidance throughout the research, drafting and revision of this thesis. Appreciation is also extended to Professors Angela Woollacott and Paul Pickering who provided helpful feedback as members of my supervisory panel. The suggestions offered by other staff in the School of History at the Australian National University throughout my candidature have also been appreciated. The research undertaken for this research was possible due to the funding I received from the Australian National University. An Australian Postgraduate Award facilitated my study in Canberra. The university also provided research funding which allowed me to undertake archival research in England. A number of librarians and archivists provided assistance in finding material in their collections, including the staff at the British Library, the Bodleian Library, the Lambeth Palace Library, the London Metropolitan Archives and the National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum. I am particularly indebted to the Tower Hamlets Local History Library whose staff enabled me to access its Oxford House collection during a time of refurbishment.
