Love Tokens: Engraved Coins, Emotions and the Poor 1700-1856 LOVE TOKENS: ENGRAVED COINS, EMOTIONS AND THE POOR 1700-1856 BRIDGET MILLMORE A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the University of Brighton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2015 Abstract This thesis examines the love tokens that were made by the poor from low value coins in Britain in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. The investigation has located approximately 5000 examples of love tokens in public and private coin collections in England and Wales; the majority date from 1700-1856. One hundred and eighty eight tokens in the Acworth collection from Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery were selected for detailed analysis. A digital database was created and the features of the engraved coins’ content and form were catalogued and tagged.1 The study employs the language and imagery of popular literature in order to situate the tokens within the visual and material literacy of the poor. The research benefitted from the accessibility of digitised versions of these eighteenth century sources of illustrated ballads and broadsides. The study of love tokens draws on the critical approach of E.P.Thompson who used the historical evidence of rituals to explore people’s experiences, values and beliefs. His work on customary practices enables this study to investigate the history of emotions from the perspective of history from below. The research addresses the question posed by Clare Langhamer, ‘What does a history of emotions from below look like?’ and applies it to the poor in eighteenth century Britain. Love tokens are records that were freely created by the poor. They offer evidence of the expression of emotions of those traditionally marginalised from historical accounts. The research therefore makes an original contribution to knowledge in an area of history where few investigations have been undertaken on account of the paucity of such sources. The analysis of the Acworth love tokens reveals how these tiny objects are markers of people’s lives. Love tokens marked expected events such as birth and betrothal, apprenticeship and trades. They also marked unexpected events such as imprisonment and transportation. On an initial reading, love tokens convey expressions of love and affection. Yet when viewed from the perspective of popular literature they were inscribed in the knowledge that not all hoped-for promises of love, fidelity, loyalty and remembrance would be fulfilled. 1 http://lovetokens.omeka.net. 3 Table of Contents Chapter 1. ‘A permanent record of his affection’: love tokens and the sentiment of the poor .............................................................................. 14 1.1.1 Outline of the chapter ............................................................................... 21 1.2 ‘Of small intrinsic value’: the collecting history of love tokens ....................... 22 1.3 ‘Few collectors have paid attention to this section of numismatics’: the questions prompted by love tokens .............................................................................. 36 1.4 ‘It seems desirable that while they exist these love tokens should be preserved’: sources for the study of love tokens ........................................................... 38 1.5 ‘A gift to you - From me a friend’: methods for the study of love tokens ....... 55 1.6 ‘Pray do not think of me unkind’: a critical framework for the study of love tokens 61 1.7 Conclusion ........................................................................................................ 75 Chapter 2.

  • Samuel Johnson's Childhood Illnesses and the King's Evil
    SAMUEL JOHNSON'S CHILDHOOD ILLNESSES AND THE KING'S EVIL by LAWRENCE C. McHENRY, JR. AND RONALD MAC KEITH 'HERE is a brave boy,' proclaimed George Hector,* when he brought Samuel Johnson into the world. From this moment and throughout most of his childhood, young Sam was harassed by a variety of afflictions that troubled his daily existence, but did not prevent him from eventually becoming one of England's outstanding literary figures. Samuel Johnson's adult illnesses and the history of his childhood have been described by many writers, but no separate work is available on his childhood medical history. The purpose ofthis paper is to describe Johnson's childhood medical disorders and their consequences. The principal source of information on this period in Johnson's life is from an autobiographical sketch, An account of the life of Dr. Samuel Johnson from his birth to his eleventh year, written by himself. Johnson apparently called this his 'Annals' and his two principal biographers, Boswell and Hawkins, did not know of its existence. This was written when he was 55 years old and was 'among the mass of papers which were ordered to be committed to the flames a few days before his death.'** Johnson's 'Annals' gives a record of his early affections, but it contains a rather questionable medical implication that has been perpetuated as fact. This is that Johnson developed tuberculosis during the first few weeks of his life. We propose to point out that this is unlikely and to show that it is much more probable that he developed tuberculosis later, when he was about two years old.

  • Percival Mew Gull
    Le Percival Mew Gull par Jean-Louis BLENEAU Edgar Percival lui-même, reconnaissable à son éternel chapeau, se prépare à effectuer le premier vol du Mew Gull ZS-AHM (E.2H c/n E.22) The Golden City, un des concurrents de la Schlesinger Air Race. Le Major Miller abandonnera à Belgrade et l'avion fut ré immatriculé G-AEXF avant de connaître une très longue carrière. Edgar W. Percival avait dessiné son Model D Gull pour participer à la King’s Cup de 1932, épreuve qu’il termina à la 12e place sur 31 classés. Pour l’édition 1933 le moteur Cirrus Hermès de 130 ch fut remplacé par un Napier Javelin de 160 ch mais le pilote australien ne dépassa pas le cap des éliminatoires, certainement victime de problèmes de mise au point de son moteur. Le Gull fut, on le sait, produit en série et se comporta honorablement dans diverses compétitions sportives. Mais Edgar Percival était d’abord un pilote et la King’s Cup restait un objectif personnel. Il mit donc fin 1933 en chantier un monoplace de vitesse pure dont les principes de construction reprenaient ceux employés pour la réalisation du triplace. En réalité la désignation Mew Gull recouvre deux appareils assez différents pour un total de six exemplaires construits. Un monoplace pour la King’s Cup : Le 26 janvier 1934 furent réservées les lettres G-ACND pour un monoplace de course très compact (7,31 m d’envergure pour 5,56 m de long) entrainé par un moteur 6 cylindres en ligne Napier Javelin de 165 ch.

  • Government and British Civil Aerospace 1945-64.Pdf
    Journal of Aeronautical History Paper No. 2018/04 Government and British Civil Aerospace 1945-64 Professor Keith Hayward Preface This paper is something of a trip down an academic memory lane. My first book, published in the early 1980s, carried a similar title, albeit with a longer time span. While it had the irreplaceable benefit of some first hand memories of the period, the official record was closed. A later history of the UK aircraft industry did refer in part to such material dating from the 1940s, but access to the ‘secret’ historical material of the 1950s and beyond was still blocked by the then “Thirty Year” rule. By the time the restrictions were relaxed to a “Twenty Year” rule or even more by the liberality offered by “Freedom of Information” legislation, I had moved on to the more pressing demands of analysing the world aerospace industry for the SBAC. 1 My years at the Royal Aeronautical Society afforded a bit more scope. Discovery of an archive on the formation of the British Aircraft Corporation, and published by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Journal of Aeronautical History 2, stimulated a hankering to open more musty files on the 1950s. This led to a series of articles published in the Aviation Historian. However much this satisfied an initial hankering to look back to a critical period in UK aerospace, there were gaps to be filled in the narrative and the analysis. With the encouragement of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Aeronautical History, I have endeavoured to provide a more coherent overview of government policy towards the civil sector.

Why is it here? Where is it going? Why, for the sake of all that’s holy, do I think that you care about yet another book on mythology? Surely, you must be thinking to yourself, you have no need for one (even if it is free). You have three already. Maybe even more! Here’s the difference: Those books that you have will tell you who Hades was. Maybe it’ll be incredibly in-depth and inform you of every variation of every myth that ever featured him. You’ll know a lot about Hades after you read that incredibly thorough book. And after you read the entries on a dozen or so other death divinities, you’ll have a pretty good idea of their common traits. This book approaches the matter from the complete opposite direction. It tells you about death divinities as a class, and then it casually mentions Hades as a number of examples.

  • Shikoku Henro Trail
    SHIKOKU HENRO A study of Japanese and western pilgrims on the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Sacred Places Pilgrimage A dissertation prepared in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the MA in Japanese Language and Society (by Distance Learning) Fiona MacGregor Faculty of Social Studies School of East Asian Studies The University of Sheffield January 2002 Abstract This is a comparative study of Japanese and western pilgrims who performed the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Sacred Places Pilgrimage, on the island of Shikoku, in western Japan. The data was collected in the field on a four-page, thirty-five point questionnaire by two sociologists from Tokyo’s Waseda University in 1996, and on a two-page, ten-point questionnaire by myself in 2000 and early 2001. The western pilgrims were contacted by e-mail and asked the basic questions from my survey; they responded during the summer of 2001. Some significant differences between the Japanese and western pilgrims were found, both in the age of the pilgrims, as well as in the motives, attitudes, experiences and performance methods of both groups. This thesis attempts to demonstrate that these differences are due to the different concepts of pilgrimage in both cultures, as well as to the different attitudes to religion and the idea of the sacred in Japan and the west.

At the opening of the tenth year in the era of man’s mobility in outer space, we can look back on 1966 as offering convincing evidence that the United States had gained great competence. This evidence included: five orbital space flights by ten Gemini astronauts; four lunar missions under- taking the orbiting of and softlanding on the moon; numerous contributions to scientific knowledge by unmanned spacecraft and sounding rockets; and further demonstrations of the practical utility of operational space systems, including weather and communications satellites. During 1966, a record 100 American spacecraft were placed into earth orbit or on escape trajectories. Thousands of revealing and useful pictures of the earth were taken from space and of the moon from lunar orbit and on its surface. The Gemini program ended with rendezvous and docking experiments and extravehicular activity by the Gemini test pilots as the Apollo R&D test flights leading to the manned lunar mission came into the schedule. Thirty-five major scientific, technological, and operational mile- stones were cited for 1966 by the President in his Report to the Congress on aeronautical and space activities of the United States.
