In the nineteenth century it was in the forefront of the intellectual life of the city, and established an important museum in its own premises in Park Row. The museum collection became the foundation of today’s City Museum when in 1921 the Society transferred the building and its contents to the Corporation of Leeds, at the same time reconstituting itself as a charitable limited company, a status it still enjoys today. Following bomb damage to the Park Row building in the Second World War, both Museum and Society moved to the City Museum building on The Headrow, where the Society continued to have its offices until the museum closed in 1998. The new Leeds City Museum, which opened in 2008, is now once again the home of the Society’s office. In 1936 the Society donated its library to the Brotherton Library of the University of Leeds, where it is available for consultation. Its archives are also housed there. The official charitable purpose of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society is (as newly defined in 1997) “To promote the advancement of science, literature and the arts in the City of Leeds and elsewhere, and to hold, give or provide for meetings, lectures, classes, and entertainments of a scientific, literary or artistic nature”. -
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. -

WOODALL, MINSHALL, & CO., CAXTON PRESS, OSWESTRY. 1898 M PREFACE. Thk present issue is more or less a pioneer work, and therefore the Editor hopes that additions and corrections will be sent to him in order that a second and more perfect edition may be published, should a demand arise. He apologises for the imper- fections and mistakes among the entries of Dr. Kennedy's time, owing to the absence of an Official Register ; and also for the names which may have been omitted in subsequent years. For in compiling the index he has discovered that his con6dence in the accuracy of Mr. Bentley's lists was somewhat misplaced, as he then became aware of the omission of two or ihree boys, and there- fore fears that the same fate may have befallen others without his perceiving it No doubt, too, the index is very faulty, but as an excuse for this, pressure of parochial work is pleaded. Special acknowledgement of generous help and encourage- ment should be made to the Headmaster, especially for the loan of Dr. Butler's Register, to the Rev^. E. W. Montagu, G. W. Fisher, J. S. Bayne, F. J. Poynton, and W. J. R. H. Oliver, Dr. Calvert, Col. A. J. Poole, Messrs. S. Butler, Edw. Filliter, P. A. Scratchley, T. E. Pickering, M. J. Harding, and many more, quos nunc perscribere longum est. For the earlier athletic records, the Editor is indebted to the Rev. -
Alison Wilma Thomson Kennedy
ALISON WILMA THOMSON KENNEDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY JOHN KENRICK AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF UNITARIAN THOUGHT Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING 2006. ABSTRACT This thesis is a study in the history of ideas which discusses the work and thought of the Unitarian biblical critic, classical historian and philologist John Kenrick (1788-1877). It examines evidence to suggest that during his productive life Kenrick made an intellectual transition from the ideas of the radical English Enlightenment to the more Romantic perspectives of the nineteenth century. The first part of the discussion as a whole is concerned largely with the nature of the context from which Kenrick emerged as a thinker while the second is related to Kenrick’s own changing ideas. Chapter two reveals the monist philosophical and theological tendencies which supported the Socinian beliefs of the polymath Joseph Priestley (1733-1804), who was the dominant influence on Unitarians in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. This discussion of Priestley’s thought, which is brought into relief by means of a comparison with that of the moral and political philosopher Richard Price (1723-1791), has two objectives, the first to reveal something of the context of Unitarianism of the time and the second to establish a foundation from which the nature and extent of later intellectual change may be measured. Chapter three concentrates on another aspect of the Unitarian context closely connected to Socinian beliefs, and that is the tradition of historical biblical criticism which contained the seeds of a new historical consciousness. The fourth i chapter is an analysis of the relationship between these radical Unitarian biblical critics and scholars in Germany and discusses some similarities and differences between the two sets of thinkers. -

PHILIP HENRY, M.A, Incumbent of TVorthenbury, in the County of Flint, who was ejected therefrom by the Act of Uniformity in 1662. THE SWANWICK BRANCH TO 1899 COMPILED BY SARAH LUPTON SWANWICK, A descendant in the seventh degree. JAMES EDMUND JONES, B.A., A descendant in the eighth degree. PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION TORONTO, CANADA: The Brovvn-Searle Printing Co. 1899 lPbtlip lbenr\) 163 i-i 696 PREFACE TO EDITION OF 1844. Compiled by Sarah Lawrence, a Descendant in the Fifth Degree. THE annexed tables of the Descendants of the Rev. Philip Henry are founded upon a genealogical tree, drawn up originally about fifty years ago by Mr. Matthew Witton, one of the descendants of that excellent man, a copy of which was made, some years ago, by a friend for the editor. Having availed herself of the several opportunities of communication with different branches of the family which have occurred during the long period that has elapsed since the original document came into her possession, to make such additions as were from time to time needful, she is induced to print a few copies for the benefit of such of the descendants as may desire to possess one ; in the belief that a reverential regard for the memory of our forefathers, where it is founded on the intrinsic qualities of the mind and character, rather than on the adventitious circumstances of rank and position — on what they have been, rather than what they have possessed, can scarcely fail to exert a valuable moral in- fluence on the minds of their descendants.
