Research for this thesis has shown that Joseph Gales, the Sheffield publisher, was active in supporting the reform movement through his newspaper the Sheffield Register , with the help of his wife Winifred, a novelist, and his assistant, the poet James Montgomery, until the flight of the Galeses to America in 1794-95. However, existing historical scholarship has not explored the archival material in depth to reveal the detailed content of their radical journalism and publishing in the key years 1791-94. There is also a pronounced gap, despite the presence of a significant archive, in the later activities of the Galeses in North America, and of Montgomery in Sheffield in 1794-97. This thesis will seek to fill this gap in historical knowledge by showing in more detail the content and depth of their radical journalism and writings, their links with national and international reformers, and how their later claims of moderation are contradicted by the newly available data. This will be achieved by exploring the letters, poems, and editorials, of the Sheffield Register, the Sheffield Iris, and the Raleigh Register newspapers, the “Recollections,” letters and novels of Winifred Gales, and the poems and prose writings of James Montgomery. There will also be a consideration of their place in the rise of a middling-sort class awareness, transatlantic radicalism, the role of feminist autobiographical diaries, and the boosterist activities of the Galeses in North Carolina.

Soli Deo Gloria! Abbreviations Iris Sheffield Iris LCS London Corresponding Society RR Raleigh Register SCI Society for Constitutional Information SR Sheffield Register SSCI Sheffield Society for Constitutional Information INTRODUCTION The 1790s in London and the provinces were a time of great political unrest following the French Revolution, with growing calls for increased parliamentary representation, including provincial towns like Sheffield, which were without proper representation. There was an upsurge in Constitutional societies outside the capital along the lines of the London Corresponding Society (LCS), which gathered support for petitions for reform to parliament and caused the Pitt government to be apprehensive about a possible mass insurrection. In Sheffield the brief flowering of the Constitutional society (SSCI) in the 1790s, encouraged by local newspaper man Joseph Gales, his wife Winifred, their assistant James Montgomery, and orator Henry Redhead Yorke, was soon quashed by the Government and local interests — Gales fled the country and Yorke was imprisoned during which incarceration he (again) changed sides politically.1 As Donald Read says, “Sheffield was the strongest centre of English provincial radicalism in• the 1790s.” However,9 whilst recognising• •the importance of the Galeses and Montgomery, the content of their work has not been explored in depth by scholars. My research will show, in detail that the Gales/Montgomery publishing operation was an important regional source of reform support that was also linked to key national and international figures and groups active in the reform movement. These three important figures will thus be raised from the obscurity into which they have sunk and will be shown to be key individuals in the transatlantic radical reform publishing movement in the 1790s. To achieve this, my research will bring together detailed material from Sheffield and Raleigh (North Carolina), to reveal the extent of the radicalism of these three in much greater depth and sophistication. This includes the handwritten “Recollections”4 of 1 J. G. Alger, “Henry Redhead Yorke (1772-1813)," rev. Peter Spence, in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, accessed September 8,2009, doi:10.1093/ref:odnb/30241. 2 Donald Read, The English Provinces c.1760-1960: a Study in Influence (London: Arnold, 1964), 46. 3 For example, E.

This thesis is an attempt to reclaim and reappraise the material evidence of their activities in these twin situations, returns to the literary survivals of their work, and locates them in their contemporary context. It also seeks to peel away later accretions of piety and Victorian 5 Correspondence between Winifred Gales and Rev.

For example as she has stated, “domestic factors” have not been considered into “systems theories”. (Neuman, 1995, p.16) On this basis, it is necessary to point out these local factors, and furthermore, the role of non-state actors within the realm of internal dynamics, since international relations theory also aims to understand the formation and motivation behind economic policy.

  • Charles Crawford a Forgotten Poet of Early Philadelphia
    Charles Crawford A Forgotten Poet of Early Philadelphia N 1783, as the Revolution drew to a close, only five volumes of poetry were published in the new United States. Four of these I were by a gentleman of Philadelphia named Charles Crawford, three from the press of Robert Aitken, at Pope's Head, in Market Street, and one from the press of Joseph Crukshank, from his shop, also in Market Street, between Second and Third streets. They were A Poetical Paraphrase on Our Saviour's Sermon on the aJtiCount, QA Poem on the T>eath of Qeneral (Montgomeryy jQiberty: <zA Pindaric Ode, and The Christian: aA Poem in Four Books. During the next eighteen years, something more than a dozen books by Charles Crawford appeared in Philadelphia, bearing the imprints of some of its best-known eighteenth-century printers: Francis Bailey, Zachariah Poulson, Eleazer Oswald, Thomas Brad- ford, Asbury Dickens and James Humphreys. Crawford published Observations on H^egro Slavery in 1784, a translation of J. P. Brissot de Warville's Oration against slavery in 1788, Observations on the Downfall of Papal Power and Qeorge Foxe's Rooking Qlass in 1790, Observations on the Revolution in France in 1793, oAn Essay on the Propagation of the Qospel in 1799, and ^n Essay on the Eleventh Chapter of the Revelation of St. John in 1800. His ode on liberty, which in 1789 had been reprinted in London and criticized in the <JxConthly Review as more commendable for its piety than its poetry, was expanded and renamed "The Progress of jQiberty in 1795; the Poetical Paraphrase appeared again, with detailed new annotation, and The Christian was expanded from four to six books, both in 1796; The Dying Prostitute, one of several poems which had been appended to the 1783 edition of The Christian, was issued separately in 1797.

The nature of the English Corresponding Societies 1792-95. by Robin John Chatterton A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Master of Arts by Research.

Abstract This thesis relates to the British Corresponding Societies in the form they took between 1792 and 1795. It draws on government papers, trial transcripts, correspondence, public statements, memoirs and contemporary biography. The aim is to revisit the historiographical debate regarding the societies’ nature, held largely between 1963 and 2000, which focused on the influence on the societies of 1780s’ gentlemanly reformism which sought to retrieve lost, constitutional rights, and the democratic ideologies of Thomas Paine and the French Revolution which sought to introduce new natural rights. The thesis takes a wider perspective than earlier historiography by considering how the societies organised and campaigned, and the nature of their personal relationships with their political influences, as well as assessing the content of their writings.
