JULY, 1853. Art. 1.-FINANCIAL HISTORY OF THE REIGN OF LOUIS PHILIPPE. PART II,* IN l 840 the construction of Railways had but slightly engaged the public attention. The execution of the vast schemes proposed to the chambers in 1838 seemed to surpass the strength of the State and private enterprise succumbed under i-ts first attempt. The discussions were wasted in idle controversies between systems. · In 1840 all the systems were tested. The government made some concessions to companies, it encouraged others by loans, and it executed some lines at its own cost. The first essays illus­ trated the administration of M. le Comte Ianbert, and returned before long the most fortunate results. But unity was wanting to these

  • THE PRICE of BONDAGE: SLAVERY, SLAVE VALUATION, and ECONOMICS in the ALBEMARLE by Jacob T. Parks April 2018 Director of Thesis
    THE PRICE OF BONDAGE: SLAVERY, SLAVE VALUATION, AND ECONOMICS IN THE ALBEMARLE By Jacob T. Parks April 2018 Director of Thesis: Donald H. Parkerson Major Department: History This thesis examines the economics of antebellum slavery in the Albemarle region of North Carolina. Located in the northeastern corner of the Carolina colony, the Albemarle was a harsh location for settlement and thus, inhabitants settled relatively late by Virginians moving south in search of better opportunities. This thesis finds that examination of a region’s slave economics not only conformed to, but also departed from, the larger slave experience in antebellum America. The introduction of this thesis focuses on the literature surrounding slave economics and valuation in antebellum America. After this, the main body of the thesis follows. Chapter one focuses on the various avenues slaves became property of white men and women in the Albemarle. This reveals that the county courts were intrinsically involved in allowing slave sales to occur, in addition to loop-holes slave owners utilized to retain chattel slavery cheaply. Additionally, this chapter pays special attention to slave valuation and statistical analysis. The following chapters revolve around the topics of: the miscellaneous costs associated with slavery in the Albemarle, such as healthcare, food, and clothing; insuring the lives of slaves and hiring them out for work away from their master; and examination of runaway slave rewards in statistical terms, while also creating a narrative of the enslaved and their actions.

  • U DX251 Account Books of John Hudson of Howsham 1799
    Hull History Centre: Account books of John Hudson of Howsham U DX251 Account books of John Hudson of Howsham 1799 Biographical Background: John Hudson of Howsham, a Scarborough merchant and farmer, was probably born in 1756 and died in 1808. He married an Elizabeth Ruston and had seven children, including two daughters and five sons. His youngest son, George Hudson, later became known as 'The Railway King'. George Hudson was born in March 1800 and died on 14 December 1871. He became famous as a English railway financier, earning the nickname "The Railway King”. He initially apprenticed as a draper at Bell and Nicholson in York. In 1820 he was taken on by the firm as a tradesman and given a share of the business. By 1827 it was the largest business in York. Also in 1827, he inherited £30,000 from his great uncle. Hudson played a major part in establishing the York Union Banking Company and he first became Lord Mayor in York in 1837. He was Lord Mayor three times as well as deputy-lieutenant for Durham and Conservative Member of Parliament for Sunderland from August 1845 until 1859. Hudson was instrumental in the expansion of the railways across England and in the Railway Clearing House (1842). He amalgamated the North Midland, the Midland Counties Railway and the Birmingham & Derby Junction Railway in 1844 to become the Midland Railway. He initiated the Newcastle and Darlington line in 1841 and with George Stephenson, planned and carried out the extension of the York & North Midland Railway to Newcastle. By 1844 he had control of over a thousand miles of railway.

  • Brief History of the Selby & Driffield Railway
    BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SELBY & DRIFFIELD RAILWAY Prior to the building of railways, farmers in the East Riding of Yorkshire had to rely on water transport to get their produce to market. The rivers Humber and Ouse, linking York and Selby with the docks at Hull, had always been navigable, and the River Derwent was made navigable by an Act of 1701. The Market Weighton Canal, running south from Market Weighton to the Humber estuary, opened in 1778; the Pocklington Canal, running west from Pocklington to the River Derwent, opened in 1818. It was not long, however, before the arrival of railways would ensure the rapid decline in waterborne transport in the area. The Leeds & Hull Railway Company was formed in 1824 with George Stephenson appointed as engineer. He proposed three inclined planes to be worked by three stationary engines for the hilly route out of Leeds, but the remainder of the line was very nearly level. This L&HR was one of a number of contemporary projects aimed at linking the east and west sides of northern England. The Leeds & Hull scheme soon stagnated, due in part to the stock market crash of 1825. In the meantime the Knottingley & Goole Canal opened in 1826, turning Goole into a viable transhipment port for Europe. The growth of Goole as a port to rival Hull was sufficient to spur the Hull-based shareholders of the Leeds & Hull railway into action. At the end of 1828 they motioned that the railway should be built as far as Selby, with the remainder of the journey to Hull being made by steam packet, most importantly, bypassing Goole.

  • The Railway in Nineteenth-Century London Ralph Harrington, University of York
    Construction and cataclysm: the railway in nineteenth-century London Ralph Harrington, University of York The railway was the most profoundly transformative innovation of the nineteenth century, and was recognized as such by contemporaries.1 It was widely suggested from the 1830s and 40s that the coming of the railway marked a new age, and by the 1850s the extent and influence of the railway system was such that the development of the railway was seen as marking the beginning of a distinctive, modern, epoch. It was the railway, claimed the economist and journalist James Jeans, which distinguished the modern age most strikingly from all the eras which had gone before: ‘If we analyse the comparative circumstances of ancient Rome and modern London, — of ancient Babylon and modern Babylon, — what single characteristic can we point to as “toeing the line” of division so marked, so palpable, so essential, as that of the railway?’2 The railway tracks marked the divide between the old, rural, small-town, slow-moving Britain and the modern industrial nation of great towns and cities, factories, and constant rapid travel and communication. The novelist W. M. Thackeray wrote with feeling in 1860 about the ‘gulf’ which the railway had opened up between the old world and the new: Stage-coaches, more or less swift, riding-horses, pack-horses, highwaymen, knights in armour, Norman invaders, Roman legions, Druids, Ancient Britons painted blue, and so forth — all these belong to the old period. I will concede a halt in the midst of it, and allow that gunpowder and printing tend to modernize the world.
