    1 BATTLE and WILLIAM COBBETT This Article Explores

    BATTLE AND WILLIAM COBBETT This article explores William Cobbett’s relationship with Battle, which he visited in 1822 and, famously, on 16 October 1830. We look at this under the following headings: Who was Cobbett? Cobbett’s first visit to Battle, 1822, his address in the George Hotel The meeting of 16 October 1830 and why it was nationally significant The Battle Declaration: who signed, and what the document tells us How the Government sought to “frame” Cobbett: Arising from his meeting at Battle, Cobbett’s trial at the Guildhall 7 July 1831 Sources and further reading An account of some of the personalities who emerged during the crisis of 1830-31- Charles Inskipp, John Pearson, James Gutsell, George Maule The political background of the “Captain Swing” riots What influence did the meeting have – how close was E Sussex to insurrection? Who was Cobbett? William Cobbett (1763 -1835) straddled the late eighteenth century and the early nineteenth, in lifespan as well as in attitudes. He was a farmer who believed in an old order of the countryside based on respect for all its parties: decently paid labourers helping reasonable landowners to produce food which should be available at affordable prices, while small government would reduce taxes and keep farmers comfortable. Cobbett saw reform of Parliament as the means by which politicians would be put back in touch with the real problems of the country and its poor. But he defies modern political categories: he opposed abolition of slavery as hypocritical and was arguably anti-semitic in his views on what he saw as usury.

    Nyungar Tradition : glimpses of Aborigines of south-western Australia 1829-1914 by Lois Tilbrook Background notice about the digital version of this publication: Nyungar Tradition was published in 1983 and is no longer in print. In response to many requests, the AIATSIS Library has received permission to digitise and make it available on our website. This book is an invaluable source for the family and social history of the Nyungar people of south western Australia. In recognition of the book's importance, the Library has indexed this book comprehensively in its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Biographical Index (ABI).

    1 Katrina Navickas What Happened to Class? New Histories of Labour and Collective Action in Britain. Recently, My Family Called

    1 Katrina Navickas What Happened to Class? New Histories of Labour and Collective Action in Britain. Recently, my family called me a „labour historian‟. A „labour historian‟ is one of the last epithets I would give to my thoroughly bourgeois self, so I considered why they made that association. In 2005, I published an article rethinking Luddism, the machine– breaking outbreaks of 1812. It stuck out somewhat incongruously as an old–fashioned topic, although I had reworked it with a postmodernist nod towards the agency of language.1 In the heyday of labour history in the 1960s and 1970s, it was a natural assumption to connect the study of trade unions and the Labour party with labour‟s more troublesome sister, social movements and popular protest. Yet over the past couple of decades, labour history has changed. Many of its historians no longer regard the labour (and Labour) movement as the be–all and end–all of the history of the working class. Their interests have diversified, shedding new light on identities and activities that are not completely subsumed by a narrative of class. Perhaps, indeed, I had mistaken myself for a labour historian of the old sort, even though methodologically and culturally I was far from being so. Although I did not realise it at the time, however, protest history had begun to be rethought and revived in a new direction. This is a review of recent developments in British labour and collective action history. In 2009, I returned to mythical leaders of machine–breakers. This time they were in the form of „Captain Swing‟, that head of the eponymous rural agitation of the early 1830s.
  • Colonists and Aborigines in the Early Australian Settlements

    Colonists and Aborigines in the Early Australian Settlements

    Colonists and Aborigines in the Early Australian Settlements WILLIAM DAMPIER, so far as I know the first Englishman to describe the Australian Aborigines, did not take a very favourable view of them. The Inhabitants of this country,' he wrote, 'are the miserablest People in the world. The Hodmadods of Monomatapa, though a nasty People, yet for wealth are Gentlemen to these, who have no Houses and skin Garments, Sheep, Poultry and Fruits of the Earth, Ostrich Eggs, etc. as the Hodmadods have.' Yet he gives a good physical description of them and notes that they 'live in Companies, 20 or 30 men, women and children together'. 'Their only Food,' he adds, 'is a small sort of Fish' — but we must remember that he was speaking of the north-western coast of Australia. There he saw 'neither Herb, Root, Pulse nor any sort of Grain for them to eat... nor any sort of Bird or Beast that they can catch, having no Instruments wherewithal to do so'.1 Further east the Aborigines climbed trees and snared opossums and hunted the kangaroo. Cook had not much intercourse with the Aborigines, but he makes one comment of some interest. 'Their features were far from disagreeable, the voices were soft and tunable and they could easily repeat many words after us, but neither us nor Tupia could understand one word they said.'2 Banks, who saw more of them, devotes some pages of his 'account of that part of New Holland now called New South Wales' to a description of their way of life, artifacts and hunting.

The work as a whole makes an original The poor in England Steven King is Reader in History at contribution to the historiography of poverty, combining as it Oxford Brookes University. does a high degree of scholarship with intellectual innovation.’ The poor Professor Anne Borsay, University of Wales, Swansea This fascinating collection of studies investigates English poverty in England between 1700 and 1850 and the ways in which the poor made ends meet. The phrase ‘economy of makeshifts’ has often been used to summarise the patchy, disparate and sometimes failing 1700–1850 strategies of the poor for material survival. Incomes or benefits derived through the ‘economy’ ranged from wages supported by under-employment via petty crime through to charity; however, An economy of makeshifts until now, discussions of this array of makeshifts usually fall short of answering vital questions about how and when the poor secured access to them. This book represents the single most significant attempt in print to supply the English ‘economy of makeshifts’ with a solid, empirical basis and to advance the concept of makeshifts from a vague but convenient label to a more precise yet inclusive definition. 1700–1850 Individual chapters written by some of the leading, emerging historians of welfare examine how advantages gained from access to common land, mobilisation of kinship support, crime, and other marginal resources could prop up struggling households.
  • The Historiography of Social Movements Å

    The Historiography of Social Movements Å

    Chapter 1 The Historiography of Social Movements å Halfway through the twentieth century, Fernand Braudel raised a call for establishing a productive dialogue between history and the social sciences whereby history might freely employ indispensable concepts that it was incapable of developing by itself, and the social sciences might acquire the temporal depth they lacked. He went on to state that there would be no social science ‘other than by the reconciliation in a simultaneous practice of our different crafts’. The convergence of history with the social sciences was baptized ‘social history’ and later, in the United States, as ‘historical sociology’ to underline sociologists’ shift towards historiography.1 At the fi rst international congress of historical sciences held after the Second World War in Paris, 1950, Eric Hobsbawm was involved in the section on social history, ‘probably the fi rst in any historical congress’, as he recalls in his autobiography.2 It gained momentum in 1952 with the creation of the British journal Past and Present, which brought to- gether a group of Marxist historians (Hobsbawm himself, Christopher Hill, Rodney Hilton, George Rudé, and E.P. Thompson), joined by such prominent scholars as Lawrence Stone, John Elliot and Moses Finley. Meanwhile, in the United States, historical sociology took its fi rst steps forward with Barrington Moore, the Harvard teacher of Charles Tilly. It would be very hard to fi nd a sociologist who has taken better ad- vantage of history than Tilly. With the exception of his fi rst book, on the counter-revolution in the Vendée (published in 1964), long duration, which Braudel conceptualized as the history of structures, is the time- frame for Tilly’s analysis, whether it be of social struggles in France, state systems, European revolutions, democracy or social movements worldwide.

    I N M E M O R I A who has been Secretary of the History Group of the Communist Party for several years, died on Tuesday, 19th April. Without his lively interest and constant practical help OUR HISTORY would not have appeared, nor would the other activities of the History Group have taken place. He was typical of the best in the British working-class, a lifelong Communist, educated by the Communist Party and by his own wide experiences and self-study. In recent years he had been responsible for many developments in the educational and cultural work of the Party. His vast knowledge of people and his deep humanism, was always at the service of professional and specialist groups. His modesty was an example to all who worked with him; it cloaked but did not conceal from the perceptive a penetrating mind and considerable learning. We shall miss him greatly,: His monument is in the developing influence of Marxist ideas in many varied aspects of our culture. Page One FOREWORD Mr. Peacock's "Bread or Blood" (Gollancz, 1965) did not receive the attention which it deserved. We suspect because its combination of massive documentation in the local press and local records with unwavering sympathy for the cause of the exploited and oppressed made the academic and reviewing establishment uneasy. Mr. Peacock has now turned his attention from the 'agrarian riots in East Anglia in 1816' to 'the agricultural trade unionism of the 1870s' in the same area.

    Part 6 of Australian Frontier Wars Western Australia

    NUNAWADING MILITARY HISTORY GROUP MINI NEWSLETTER No. 30 Part 6 of Australian Frontier Wars Western Australia The first British settlement in Western Australia was established by the British Army, 57th of Foot, (West Middle- sex Regiment) at Albany in 1826. Relations between the garrison and the local Minang people were generally good. Open conflict between Noongar and European settlers broke out in Western Australia in the 1830s as the Swan River Colony expanded from Perth. The Pinjarra Massacre, the best known single event, occurred on 28 October 1833. The Pinjarra massacre, also known as the Battle of Pinjarra, is an attack that occurred in 1834 at Pinjarra, Western Australia on an uncertain number of Binjareb Noongar people by a detachment of 25 soldiers of the 21st of Foot, (North British Fusiliers), police and settlers led by Governor James Stirling. Stirling estimated the Bin- jareb present numbered "about 60 or 70" and John Roe, who also par- ticipated, at about 70–80, which roughly agree with an estimate of 70 by an unidentified eyewitness. On the attacking side, Captain Theophilus Tighe Ellis was killed and Corporal Patrick Heffron was injured. On the defending side an uncer- tain number of Binjareb men, women and children were killed. While Stirling quantified the number of Binjareb killed as probably 15 males, Roe estimated the number killed as 15–20, and an unidentified eyewitness as 25–30 including 1 woman and several children in addi- tion to being "very probable that more men were killed in the river and floated down with the stream". The number of Binjareb injured is un- known, as is the number of deaths resulting from injuries sustained Pinjarra Massacre Site memorial during the attack.
