Women and Their Money 1700–1950: Essays on Women and Finance Women and their Money 1700–1950 This book examines women’s financial activity from the early days of the stock market in eighteenth-century England and the South Sea Bubble to the mid twentieth century. The essays demonstrate how many women managed their own finances despite legal and social restrictions and show that women were neither helpless, incompetent and risk-averse, nor were they unduly cautious and conservative. Rather, many women learnt about money and made themselves effective and engaged managers of the funds at their disposal. The essays focus on Britain, from eighteenth-century London to the expan- sion of British financial markets of the nineteenth century, with comparative essays dealing with the United States, Italy, Sweden and Japan. Hitherto, writing about women and money has been restricted to their management of household finances or their activities as small business women. This book examines the clear evidence of women’s active engagement in financial matters, much neglected in historical literature, especially women’s management of capital. This book charts the sheer extent of women’s financial management and pro- vides for economic, social, cultural and gender historians material grounded in empirical research essential for understanding women’s place in capitalist societies.

  • THE BRITISH ARMY in the LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 By
    ‘FAIRLY OUT-GENERALLED AND DISGRACEFULLY BEATEN’: THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 by ANDREW ROBERT LIMM A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY. University of Birmingham School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law October, 2014.

ABSTRACT The history of the British Army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is generally associated with stories of British military victory and the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington. An intrinsic aspect of the historiography is the argument that, following British defeat in the Low Countries in 1795, the Army was transformed by the military reforms of His Royal Highness, Frederick Duke of York. This thesis provides a critical appraisal of the reform process with reference to the organisation, structure, ethos and learning capabilities of the British Army and evaluates the impact of the reforms upon British military performance in the Low Countries, in the period 1793 to 1814, via a series of narrative reconstructions. This thesis directly challenges the transformation argument and provides a re-evaluation of British military competency in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

  • December 2009 (PDF)
    The magazine of the University of Dundee • December 09 www.dundee.ac.uk/pressoffice Visions of Discovery contact•dec 09 1 contents news................. 03 from the principal... Those of you who attended my presentations in late September/early October will have heard me speak of my vision for the future of the University, and of how this vision is underpinned by the three watchwords of Excellence, Focus and Impact. The University must strive for excellence in everything it does, whether teaching, research or the professionalism of its botanic gardens... 06 support staff and services. In order to achieve this, the University must focus investment and resource in those areas with the proven record or the potential to sustain excellence. By focusing on our strengths and by aspiring to be the best, the University will inevitably increase its impact, whether social, economic, scientific or intellectual. November saw the publication of two significant documents affecting higher education in the UK. The first, Higher Ambitions, published on 3rd November to the fanfare of a speech by Lord Mandelson, sets out the UK Government’s framework for sustaining the strength of higher education in an ‘increasingly demanding and competitive environment’. The second, The impact of universities on the UK economy, was commissioned by Universities UK and presents the key benefits of higher education to the UK’s economy. It strikes me that our vision resonates with aspects of both of these documents. The Universities discovery day...... 12 UK report emphasises and demonstrates conclusively the huge financial impact that the combined activities of the higher education sector have on the economy, generating over £59 billion of output and over 668,500 fte jobs in 2007-8.

  • Service Lists for the Army, Navy and Air Force
    SOCIAL SCIENCES COLLECTION GUIDES OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS www.bl.uk/subjects/national-and-international-government-publications Service lists for the Army, Navy and Air Force INTRODUCTION This guide is the result of merging two separate checklists. The checklist of Army Lists (British Army lists 1642- : a chronological handlist) is undated and without attribution of authorship. It is believed to have been compiled around 1980 as a collaborative effort by the staff at that time of what was then the Official Publications Library (OPL) of the British Library; the identity of the actual compiler is unknown. The checklist of Navy Lists (Navy lists : a chronological handlist of lists of ships and officers of the Royal Navy since ca 1640) is better documented. It was compiled in 1986 by Joy Tilley, a graduate library trainee, as a project for her work experience training under the supervision of Richard Cheffins who edited the result. No attempt has been made to further edit the original checklists except to update a few pressmarks, to clarify some minor points of uncertainty, to expand somewhat on the current Army and Navy lists and to add a section on Air Force lists. The item numbering of Army Lists has been discontinued but otherwise the inconsistencies of style and layout between, and even within, the two main lists have been left to stand but these should not hinder the use of this guide. The original Navy checklist had a brief introduction which has been incorporated into this one; the Army checklist had none. Both had brief 'further reading' lists which have been combined as the penultimate section of this guide.

  • Royal Artillery Barracks and Royal Military Repository Areas
    DRAFT CHAPTER 7 – ROYAL ARTILLERY BARRACKS AND ROYAL MILITARY REPOSITORY AREAS Lands above Woolwich and the Thames valley were taken for military use from 1773, initially for barracks facing Woolwich Common that permitted the Royal Regiment of Artillery to move out of the Warren. These were among Britain’s largest barracks and unprecedented in an urban context. The Board of Ordnance soon added a hospital (now Connaught Mews), built in 1778–80 and twice enlarged during the French Wars. Wartime exigencies also saw the Royal Artillery Barracks extended to their present astonishing length of more than a fifth of a mile in 1801–7, in front of a great grid of stables and more barracks, for more than 3,000 soldiers altogether. At the same time more land westwards to the parish boundary was acquired, permitting the Royal Military Repository to move up from the Warren in 1802 and, through the ensuing war, to reshape an irregular natural terrain for an innovative training ground, a significant aspect of military professionalization. The resiting there in 1818–20 of the Rotunda, a temporary royal marquee from the victory celebrations of 1814 at Carlton House recast as a permanent military museum, together with the remaking of adjacent training fortifications, settled the topography of a unique landscape that served training, pleasure-ground and commemorative purposes. There have been additions, such as St George’s Garrison Church in the 1860s, and rebuildings, as after bomb damage in the 1940s. More changes have come since the departure of the Royal Artillery in 2007 when the Regiment’s headquarters moved to Larkhill in Wiltshire.
