APPENDIX 1: OWNERS AND INHABITANTS OF EASNEYE PREFACE I first came to Easneye in 1964, when I had been appointed as the Resident Tutor at All Nations Missionary College, which had just moved there from Taplow, near Maidenhead, Berkshire. I lived with my family in North Lodge, one of the cottages on the Easneye estate, for the next four years, but my connection with All Nations and Easneye has continued up to the present. I worked for thirty-four years full-time and for another seven years part-time, and now my son, who was only eighteen months old back in 1964, is a member of the All Nations faculty. I feel, therefore, that my long connection with the place gives me the interest and ability to look into and record something of the past history of Easneye and its inhabitants. Mr David Morris, the Principal of All Nations when it was at Taplow as well as for several years after the move to Easneye, and whose vision and hard work were vital in making the college what it is today, used to give a very informative and entertaining history of the site, the building, the Buxton family and the college (never dull but sometimes bordering on the over-imaginative!)

Answers to such questions as these would have en- abled the reader to understand far better the significance of this new-found document, and widened its appeal. Yet Professor Stevens has done so much so well that such criticism seems ungrateful. PETER STUART Eastbourne, Wellington British Antislavery 1833-1870. By Howard Temperley. Longman, London, 1972, xviii, 292 pp. U.K. price: £3.50. DR TEMPERLEY'S new book represents some extension and some pruning of a Yale doctoral thesis on the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. His first two chapters are essentially preliminary. His real concern is with the antislavery movement after the end of the apprenticeship in 1838. One short chapter deals with a less familiar aspect of the subject, the gradual ending of legalized slavery in India and its end, more rapidly, in Ceylon. But the book is in the main a study of British public opinion. After emancipation the centre of interest moved back to the slave trade, this time the trade to foreign countries. By 1888 there were only two maritime nations outside the treaty system Britain had built up against the slave trade — Portugal and the United States. The latter, with its sensitiveness on maritime rights, was the main obstacle to the British Navy's operations against the trade. Fowell Buxton's remedy was to show the Africans a better way by establishing trading posts and model farms in the interior and negotiating treaties with African chiefs.

  • J. J. Gurney and Norwich Politics J
    J. J. Gurney and Norwich Politics J. GURNEY is best known as a member of the Gurney banking family and as an influential Evangelical minis­ J ter in the Society of Friends between 1818 and 1847. He also played an important role as an active citizen in Norwich. He led the way in the founding of a Lancasterian school for needy boys, supplying them with a virtually free elementary education. He played a prominent role in or­ ganizing relief for unemployed weavers and their families during the severe depression which struck Norwich textile businesses in the winters of 1825-26 and 1829-30. In the latter winter, feelings were running high among the weavers who were refusing to work because of the low wages being offered by manufacturers, and Gurney tried to effect some kind of resolution of the impasse. From time to time he entered the political arena. The record of these forays, though brief, illumines the political scene of that time and the chang­ ing attitude of Friends toward participation in political activity. Gurney's primary political aim was to eliminate or lessen corrupt election practices. His general aloofness from politics was prompted by disgust with the extent of this corruption and by sympathy with traditional Quaker opposition to its members, and especially its ministers, becoming active in political party struggles. The corruption in Norwich city elections during Gurney's early manhood was notorious. Bribery and illegal influence of other forms were practised on a large scale by both Whigs and Tories. In the autumn of 1833, in part as a result of a Norwich citizens' petition to Parliament which Gurney had actively supported,1 a Public Inquiry was begun by Parliament into election practices and city constitutions in Norwich and other English cities.

  • The Missionary Dream 1820–1842 85
    1 The Missionary᪐ Dream 1820–1842 In the Knibb Baptist Chapel in Falmouth, Jamaica, an impressive marble monument hangs on the wall behind the communion table. As the Baptist Herald reported in February 1841: The emancipated Sons of Africa, in connexion with the church under the pastoral care of the Rev. W. Knibb, have recently erected in this place of worship a splendid marble monument, designed to perpetuate the remem- brance of the glorious period when they came into the possession of that liberty which was their right, and of which they have proved themselves to be so pre-eminently worthy. It is surmounted with the figure of Justice, holding in her left hand the balances of equity, whilst her right hand rests upon the sword which is placed at her side. Beneath this figure the like- nesses of Granville Sharp, Sturge, and Wilberforce are arrayed in bas-relief, and that of the Rev. W. Knibb appears at the base. The inscription reads: deo gloria erected by emancipated sons of africa to commemorate the birth-day of their freedom august the first 1838 hope hails the abolition of slavery throughout the british colonies as the day-spring of universal liberty to all nations of men, whom god “hath made of one blood” “ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto god” lxviii psalm 31 verse The Missionary Dream 1820–1842 85 Immediately under this inscription two Africans are represented in the act of burying the broken chain, and useless whip – another is rejoicing in the undisturbed possession of the book of God, whilst associated with these, a fond mother is joyously caressing the infant which for the first time she can dare to regard as her own.

Bruce, B.A., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2009 ABSTRACT “ORDINARY TALENTS AND EXTRAORDINARY PERSEVERANCE”: THE LIFE OF SIR THOMAS FOWELL BUXTON David S. Bruce, B.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2009 Born into a gentry family with roots in the Society of Friends, the evangelical social conscience of Thomas Fowell Buxton (1786-1845) was developed as he operated a brewery in Spitalfields, perhaps London’s poorest parish. He was instrumental in raising funds for poor relief and establishing soup and bread kitchens there during the winter of 1816-1817. His interest and research on penal discipline brought him national prominence and led to a parliamentary seat which he held for nearly two decades. Buxton’s association with noted activist William Wilberforce (1759-1833) led to his own involvement in the anti-slavery movement, a cause he fiercely championed, resulting in Britain’s abolition of slavery throughout the Empire in 1834. After leaving Parliament in 1837, Buxton focused on revitalizing Africa through a program to end international slavery and encourage African self- sufficiency.
