    Scottish Tradition Vol.24 1999 NEGLECTED SOURCE MATERIALS ON THE JACOBITE RISINGS hile conducting research for a new biography of John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute, I have come Wacross several manuscript collections contain- ing valuable information on the Jacobite rebellions of 1715 and 1745 - material which seems to have been overlooked in the numerous works on Jacobitism that have appeared in recent years.1 The purpose of this article is to draw attention to this material and where appropriate, briefly summarize the more important items in the collection in the hope that scholars will be encouraged to undertake a detailed study of the originals either in microfilm format or by personally visiting the holding institution. The first collection comprises the papers of John Calcraft (1726-1772), on deposit at Dorset County Records Office.2 Deputy Paymaster (1745-1757), Calcraft was well known in high political circles, and his correspondence is a rich resource for contemporary events, both domestic and foreign. Of special interest to those engaged in Jacobite studies is Calcraft’s out- letter book (1745/46), containing letters and notes from General Thomas Wentworth co-commander of the 13 Scottish Tradition Vol.24 1999 government forces mobilized against the Highland army, as well as detailed references to Jacobite military movements. Also important is the out-letter book of Henry Fox (Secretary at War, 1746-1754) which contains much material on various aspects of the ’45 and its aftermath, including letters describing the trial of Lord Lovat. Another important resource is the collection of the papers of Edward Weston (Under-secretary, 1729-46; 1761-4) in the Lewis Walpole Library at Farmington, Connecticut.3 A seasoned professional with extensive connections, Weston devoted much of his correspon- dence to diplomatic matters, and this material has great value previously because of its confidential and informal nature, because he had access to vital information and because the collection contains letters and dispatches unobtainable elsewhere.

  • Charles Jenkinson -- the Grandfather of Conservatism
    Charles Jenkinson -- The Grandfather of Conservatism In spite of his political importance Charles Jenkinson, first Earl of Liverpool has been ignored by biographers, or even writers of PhD theses, except for one volume of papers covering a few early years of his career, published in 1949.1 Since he was a significant political leader in the House of Commons from 1763, Secretary at War under Lord North and a major influence on his government, President of the Board of Trade for 18 years under Pitt and Addington, the catalyst by which Pittite "Independent Whigs" became Tories and the philosophical inspiration for his even more eminent son, this neglect is a disgrace to British historical scholarship. Truly the Whigs write history, the rebalancing of which must go a lot further than it yet has. For a start, there is not even agreement about the date of Charles Jenkinson's birth, a disparity common among those born very poor or in the Dark Ages, but unexpected among the gentry in the 18th century's generally excellent record-keeping. The Dictionary of National Biography2 and Wikipedia have him born in 1727, while the History of Parliament3 has him born in 1729. According to Ninetta Jucker's "The Jenkinson papers, 1760-1766," his baptismal certificate is dated 16th May, 1729, but included in the parish registry among Winchester's 1727 births.4 From his career, in which he went up to Charterhouse in 1740, to Oxford in 1746 and graduated in 1752, I conclude, contrary to Ms. Jucker's view, that 1729 is the more likely date.

  • British Colonial Office East Florida Records Finding
    British Colonial Office CO 5 East Florida Records Annotated List of Contents a DLAR Finding Aid by David Swain December 2014 British Colonial Office CO 5—East Florida Records Annotated List of Contents Introduction Contents: Summary Maps Themes Secretaries of State Timeline References General Table of Contents General Notes Summary This is the second Annotated List of Contents Finding Aid prepared by the David Library of the American Revolution on the British Colonial Office CO 5 records of East and West Florida, which are available on microfilm at the David Library. The finding aid for West Florida was completed in 2013 and is available through the David Library’s website/blogsite (www.dlar.org). Now, the David Library makes available the second, complementary finding aid for East Florida. In addition to providing introductory information about East Florida and the East Florida microfilmed papers, these pages offer comparisons between the West Florida and East Florida British colonial experiences. Each introduction is important for the information it provides about its separate colony, but this one also contains certain comparative information. The information presented here is in summary form only, with the intent of guiding researchers toward interesting leads and directions for more complete investigating—including use of the West and East Florida Colonial Office papers. As with West Florida, the history of the British colony of East Florida represents a tiny microcosm of unique experience within the much larger history of the developing British Empire in the late 18th Century. As such, it provides for historians an interesting example of one small colony’s attempt to emulate the accepted model for imperial/colonial development—and its ultimate failure.

The tall candles burnt in their sconces, illuminating the glittering crystal and abundant decanters of the eighteenth century. At the head of the table sat the host, the leonine Lord Thurlow, with his growling voice and his bushy black eyebrows. The conversation fell upon Lord Bute, who some time before had retired from public office. One of the guests remarked that a Life of Lord Bute was going to be written. The surly host dismissed the information with the ill-natured comment, " the life of a fly would be as interesting." In spite of Lord Thurlow's dictum, the career of John Stuart, Earl of Bute, is one of great interest, and full of instruction.
