BY PETER NELSON FARRAR The aim of the thesis is to show that Richard Cobden (1804-1865) deserves to be given a significant place in the history of political, economic and social thought and also full credit for a range of statesmanship which went far beyond his well known part in the repeal of the Corn Laws and the Anglo-French Commercial Treaty of 1860. Historians have not sufficiently recognisedL that Cobden sought to make fundamental changes in British society and that he tried to initiate them by piecemeal constitutional methods. He also believed that the British example would have a powerful influence on other countries and thus contribute to a new world order. Cobden had a coherent, although unsystematised, philosophy, based on certain major assumptions. They were, firstly, that social progress depends on the interaction of economic, moral and religious and educational factors; secondly that progress towards a real political democracy depends on progress in the former areas. A special problem in explaining Cobden's philosophy is the fact that the ideas of two important thinkers with whom he was associated, George Combe (1788-1858), phrenologist (psychologist) and Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850), economist, have been belittled and neglected since Cobden's death. Therefore, the analy- sis of Cobden's thought necessitated an effort to "rehabili- tate't these two thinkers. Cobden's efforts to transform British politics and V society were only partially successful in Britain's adoption of free trade, a policy not properly understood by most statesmen and commercial men. His work for common schools, international schools, lyceums and educative popular newspapers was a failure and soon forgotten; his efforts to reform British foreign policy and implement arms control also failed. After his death, his followers failed to develop satisfactorily his ideas for application to social and international problems. These ideas still have considerable potential. vi Abbreviations C Richard Cobden Morley J. Morley: Life of Richard Cobden. One volume edition of 1906. Speeches J. Bright and J.E.T. Rogers (eds.)

Cobden, wife and eldest daughter 515 and 516 viii Preface and Acknowledgements This thesis has its origins in a long essay for the Department of Education at the University of Oxford in 1960. It concerned the influence of Horace Mann and the American common school system on British educational reformers in the mineteenth century. Afterwards, I developed the theme for a Master of Arts thesis of the University of Liverpool. During my research, I became very interested in Cobden and came to realise that his ideas for educational reform were part of a wider social philosophy which deserved to be fully investigated. Hence the present thesis for the University of Sheffield. This has taken many more years than I anticipated, due partly to the pressure of teaching commitments at Kingston upon Hull College of Education (later re-named) and partly to the complexity of the subject. During the entire period, I have been, at various times, helped and encouraged by many people: Mr. John Lello (Department of Education at Oxford University); Mr. Harry Pitt (Tutor in Modern History at Worcester College, Oxford University); Dr. James Murphy (my supervisor at the University of Liverpool); Professor J.C. Messerli (bio- grapher of Horace Mann); Mr. Charles H. Taquey (French biographer of Cobden); Professor J-B. Duroselle (Sorbonne); Mr. S.W. Alexander (who revived the Cobden Club in the 1960's) and Mr. Oliver Smedley; Dr. M.A.T. Rogers; Mr. P.L.V. Mallet; Professor W.H.G. Armytage (my supervisor, before his retirement, in the Division of Education, Sheffield University). Mr. Peter Lucas, my present super- ix visor in the Division of Education, appreciated my need for continuous encouragement, for which I am very grateful. Many libraries have been very helpful, especially those overseas or inconvenient to visit often, chiefly University of California Los Angeles, Newberry Library (Chicago), Duke University (Durham, North Carolina), National Library of Scotland, West Sussex Record Office (Chichester), Manchester Reference Library. The Reverend Peter G. Hayman, former Principal of Dunford House, Cobden's old home, was helpful in giving access to certain books and records in his keeping. Dunford has been managed by the National council of Y.M.C.A.'s since 1952. Mrs. Judith Blackmore typed the thesis cheerfully. My wife Barbro also helped with typing and correction. But, more important, she has been the rock on which everything rested. Hessle, North Humberside, May 1987. PART ONE AN ANALYSIS OF COBDEN'S IDEAS AND THE FORMATIVE INFLUENCES 1. CHAPTER 1 An introductory analysis of Cobden's social philosophy and political activity The unknown social philosopher Richard Cobden (1804-1865) is buried in a simple grave in a Sussex churchyard but his thought and achievement lie buried deep under layers of misconception, bias, ignorance and preconceived ideas. He is quite unknown as a great social philosopher and social reformer. His achievements as leader of the Anti-Corn Law League (1839-1846), the powerful pressure group for free trade, and as one of the chief negotiators of the Anglo French Commercial Treaty of 1860, are acknowledged. But there are contrary and usually superficial apprecia- tions of the ideas which lay behind his political actions. Sometimes he is depicted as the shrewd propa- gandist of the manufacturing class, fighting for cheaper food and lower wage costs, and wider markets overseas. At the other extreme, he is held to be an impracticable visionary who believed the widespread adoption of free trade would automatically ensure world peace. Cobden's true standing as a social philosopher was glimpsed but not investigated in John Morley's biography published in 1881. Morley had the advantage of speaking to Cobden's wife and family and to a wide range of friends and relatives, so forming a unique impression of him as a man and a thinker. Morley wrote that "he never ceased to be the preacher of a philosophy of civilisation; and his views on trade 2. were only another side of views on education and morality... In his intrepid faith in the perfectibility of man and society, Cobden was the only eminent practical statesman that this country has ever possessed, who constantly breathes the fine spirit of the French school in which the name of Turgot is the most illustrious". What Morley vaguely perceived was that in Cobden's thought, economics, moral philosophy, psychology, education and politics formed parts of a grand whole. Religion , which Morley underrated in Cobden's case, should also be added to it. Later writers - J.A. Hobson, W.H. Dawson, I Bowen, C.

  • Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today
    individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty Edited by Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. “We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion.” – Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch “Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism.

  • Chapter 6: James and Wainwright Bellhouse Ltd., Cotton Spinners
    CHAPTER 6 JAMES AND WAINWRIGHT BELLHOUSE LTD. COTTON SPINNERS The business venture started by David Bellhouse (1764 – 1840) that seems least related to the rest is cotton spinning. This business was passed to his sons, James (1796 – 1874) and Wainwright Bellhouse (1800 – 1885), about a decade before the father’s death. By 1833, David Bellhouse had ceased to list himself as a cotton spinner in the Manchester directories. Wain- wright Bellhouse first appeared in the Manchester directories in 1832 with his occupation given as cotton spinner; James Bellhouse followed in 1836. The firm was know as Messrs. Bellhouse by 18311 and as James and Wainwright (J. & W.) Bellhouse by 1833.2 Advertisement for the Medlock New Mill3 129 The traditional date for the start of J. & W. Bellhouse is 1792.4 However, this is the year in which David Bellhouse senior took up residence in Faulkner Street and began to work inde- pendently as a joiner and builder, not the year the spinning business started. David Bellhouse built the original mill, associated with the firm known as the Medlock New Mill, in 1806 and so the beginning of the firm should be dated from that year. The mill was just outside the boundary of the Township of Manchester as defined in 1800.5 It was bounded by the Medlock River and by Pritchard, York and Charles Streets in Chorlton on Medlock or Chorlton Row. The mill was situated directly across the Medlock River from all the other Bellhouse enterprises, which were in Hunt or Whitworth Street. David Bellhouse senior built a second mill at this location in 1836.6 Sometime before 1851 a third mill was added.

  • LIVES of the ENGINEERS. the LOCOMOTIVE
    LIVES of the ENGINEERS. THE LOCOMOTIVE. GEORGE AND ROBERT STEPHENSON. BY SAMUEL SMILES, INTRODUCTION. Since the appearance of this book in its original form, some seventeen years since, the construction of Railways has continued to make extraordinary progress. Although Great Britain, first in the field, had then, after about twenty-five years‘ work, expended nearly 300 millions sterling in the construction of 8300 miles of railway, it has, during the last seventeen years, expended about 288 millions more in constructing 7780 additional miles. But the construction of railways has proceeded with equal rapidity on the Continent. France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, have largely added to their railway mileage. Austria is actively engaged in carrying new lines across the plains of Hungary, which Turkey is preparing to meet by lines carried up the valley of the Lower Danube. Russia is also occupied with extensive schemes for connecting Petersburg and Moscow with her ports in the Black Sea on the one hand, and with the frontier towns of her Asiatic empire on the other. Italy is employing her new-born liberty in vigorously extending railways throughout her dominions. A direct line of communication has already been opened between France and Italy, through the Mont Cenis Tunnel; while p. ivanother has been opened between Germany and Italy through the Brenner Pass,—so that the entire journey may now be made by two different railway routes excepting only the short sea-passage across the English Channel from London to Brindisi, situated in the south-eastern extremity of the Italian peninsula. During the last sixteen years, nearly the whole of the Indian railways have been made.
