CHAPTER I. The Pictorial Taste Universal—The Early ‘News-books’—Development of the Newspaper Press— General use of Newspapers—Establishment of Illustrated Journals—Wandering Ballad Singers the First Newsvendors—The English Mercurie of 1588—The Abolition of the Star Chamber and its Effect on the Press. THE inherent love of pictorial representation in all races of men and in every age is manifest by the frequent attempts made to depict natural objects, under the most unfavourable circumstances and with the slenderest means. The rude drawing scratched on the smooth bone of an animal by the cave-dweller of pre-historic times, the painted rocks of the Mexican forests, and the cave-paintings of the Bushmen, are all evidences of this deeply-rooted passion. The child of civilised life looks with delight on his picture-book long before he can make out the letters of the alphabet, and the untutored Esquimaux treasures up the stray number of an illustrated newspaper left in his hut by the crew of some whaling ship, though he 7 cannot understand one word of the printed page. But the pictures speak a universal language, which requires no teaching to comprehend. When the printing-press came into use this love of pictures had a wide field for development. Some of the first 2books printed in England were illustrated with woodcuts, and many of the tracts, or ‘News-books,’ which preceded regular newspapers, were adorned with rude engravings. It mattered not how graphic was the pen, its work was deemed incomplete without the aid of the pencil. It often happened that the pen was none the better for the fellowship, but the public taste was not fastidious, and the work sufficed for the occasion.

  • London Charity Beneficiaries, C. 1800-1834: Questions of Agency
    London Charity Beneficiaries, c. 1800-1834: Questions of Agency Megan Clare Webber Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 18 May 2016 i Abstract In recent decades historians have ‘discovered’ agency in a wide range of geographical and temporal contexts, amongst many different types of actor. This dissertation employs the concept of agency to dissect the dynamics of power in early nineteenth-century London charities. Concurrently, it uses charity to test the potential applications of agency as a historical concept and as a tool for historical analysis. Through case studies of five different types of charity in early nineteenth-century London, this dissertation explores the varied ways in which plebeians exercised their agency. The case studies engage with current definitions of agency —intentional action, resistance, the defence of rights and customs, exerting control over one’s own life, autonomy, strategy, choice, and voice— and test the boundaries of the concept, proposing different ways in which scholars might characterise agency. This dissertation not only examines how the poor exerted their agency, but also how philanthropists conceptualised the agency of the poor. Although agency had a different set of meanings in the early nineteenth century than it does today, Georgian commentators nevertheless discussed the same phenomena that historians today label as agency. This dissertation considers how philanthropists attempted to mould the agency of their beneficiaries and how the agency of the poor shaped charitable organisations. For all its prevalence, agency is an under-theorised and problematic concept. There is no consensus about what agency is or how to locate it.

  • Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century A Catalogue D. W. Bebbington Professor of History, University of Stirling The catalogue that follows contains biographical data on the Unitarians who sat in the House of Commons during the nineteenth century. The main list, which includes ninety-seven MPs, is the body of evidence on which the paper on „Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century‟ is based. The paper discusses the difficulty of identifying who should be treated as a Unitarian, the criterion chosen being that the individual appears to have been a practising adherent of the denomination at the time of his service in parliament. A supplementary list of supposed Unitarian MPs, which follows the main list, includes those who have sometimes been identified as Unitarians but who by this criterion were not and some who may have been affiliated to the denomination but who were probably not. The borderline is less sharp than might be wished, and, when further research has been done, a few in each list may need to be transferred to the other. Each entry contains information in roughly the same order. After the name appear the dates of birth and death and the period as an MP. Then a paragraph contains general biographical details drawn from the sources indicated at the end of the entry. A further paragraph discusses religious affiliation and activities. Unattributed quotations with dates are from Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, as presented in Who’s Who of British Members of Parliament.

WERNER LAURIE LTD. INTRODUCTORY NOTE The author of this astonishing and ingenious com- pilation has asked me to write an introduction, not because he imagines that I know anything about bibli- ography, but because he wishes for the imprimatur of Wilde's Literary Executor. Pius the Ninth, when invited to assist the sale of a certain writer's book, promised to put it on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. The kindest act which I could do for Mr. Stuart Mason would be to injunct the result of his toil on the ground that he or his publishers had committed some breach of the Copyright Laws. This would have tempted the dealer in unauthorised literature, who would, I am sure, have invested at once in what might promise to become " curious " and " scarce." But Mr. Mason has pedantically observed all the prin- ciples of the Berne and Berlin Conventions and those other conventions which have no other authority than courtesy. I cannot pretend to have read his book through; but I can affirm that in turning over the proofs for ten minutes I learned more about Wilde's writings than Wilde himself ever knew.

L . PREFACE, The world is becoming so accustomed to having its history " " written up to date in the daily newspaper that it is apt to overlook the exigencies of serial and other publications. Magazines are printed, some of them, months ahead of their issue to the public. The production of books is undertaken still more leisurely, both by author and publisher. I venture to ask the critical reader of the following pages to bear these facts in mind. While this work has been passing through the press there " have been births, marriages, and deaths." Ancient landmarks, historical and otherwise, have given place to new ones.

  • Lord Mayor of London by Morag Wire
    Newsletter No. 64 - January 2009 Price £1 (Free to Members) In this issue: Chairman’s Report by Bob Flanagan Conservation After the high point of the opening of the new News Page 4 Memorial Garden in June, as reported in the The Oakey September Newsletter, it’s been a depressing 6 months. Firstly, the installation of new cremator Family equipment in the crematorium seems to have required (1813-1963) the erection of some sort of above ground heat Sandpaper exchanger. It is not clear if it is intended to be manufacturers temporary or permanent. What is clear, however, is that it is ugly, it has been erected over graves (30,278 Page 6 and 32,036, square 51) and that planning permission Future has not been obtained. The Management Advisory Norwood Group was not even notified, let alone consulted. Regeneration Added to this, the cremator required an enhanced electricity supply. A new cable has been laid in a Page 9 trench dug right through the middle of the newly- David Williams reinstated roadway, all the way from the crematorium Wire (1801-60) to the boundary wall adjacent to the Robson Road Lord Mayor of Industrial Estate. It passes over graves (14,335 and 10,428, square 24) on the slope down from the London Page 10 Crematorium to the lower roadway. Recent FOWNC Events Page 14 Forthcoming Events Page 15 FOWNC Officers Page 16 The new addition to the crematorium (square 51) Did Lambeth know that the crematorium refurbishment was planned when the roadway was reinstated? Yes – when we queried the high specification of the new road surface we were told it was to enable it to take the load of the new cremator equipment! Could the cable have been laid as part of the roadway works? Yes! Would it have been better to do this? Yes! The result is an ugly scar in the new roadway that will erode more quickly than the proper surface.
