From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

    The Court Reporter by Harry M. Scharf (One-time Careers Officer, Institute of Shorthand Writers.) as published in The Journal of Legal History September 1989 This article is copied by the British Institute of Verbatim Reporters with the kind permission of both Harry Scharf and the original publishers, as noted here: 18/02/2003 via e-mail "We are pleased to grant you permission to use the article, free of charge, provided you grant acknowledgement of its source. Amna Whiston Publicity & Rights Executive Frank Cass Publishers" We have reformatted it to fit the web page, omitting the original page numbers. However, the BIVR cannot accept responsibility for the accuracy of any of the information contained therein. I Background In 1588 Dr. Timothy Bright published the first book in England on a shorthand system, which he termed a 'Characterie'. The following year he was granted a 15-year patent monopoly of publishing books on this system (See Appendixl).1 This was followed in 1590 by a work by Peter Bales called a 'Brachygraphy' from the Greek for shorthand. The object was to produce a verbatim simultaneous account. These publications preceded similar publication in the contemporary Europe. This may therefore be a good occasion to celebrate the centenary of a striking development which must have influenced law-reporting and the requirements of the modern system of judicial precedent. As law-reporters we are primarily concerned with the use of methods of perpetuating the oral elements in legal proceedings. These range from obscure mnemonic and idiosyncratic jottings which had to be quickly extended by their authors to complete contemporary accounts of all that was said.

    “THERE IS DEATH IN THE POT”: WOMEN, CONSUMPTION, AND FREE PRODUCE IN THE TRANSATLANTIC WORLD, 1791-1848 by JULIE LYNN HOLCOMB Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2010 Copyright © by Julie Holcomb 2010 All Rights Reserved To Stan ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Researching and writing this dissertation has been a long journey. Fortunately, it has not been a lonely one. I am pleased to have an opportunity to recognize the many kindnesses and the valuable support received along the way. The University of Texas at Arlington provided a great environment in which to develop as a scholar. I have benefitted from the patience, generosity, and scholarship of my committee. My chair Sam W. Haynes modeled the ideal balance of academic rigor and nurturing support. I profited as well from the advice of Stephanie Cole and Christopher Morris. Words cannot begin to convey how much I appreciate my committee’s encouragement and advice throughout this process. I have also received valuable assistance from James Cotton and Robin Deeslie in the history department and Diana Hines and Rachel Robbins in the library’s interlibrary loan department. I have also had the opportunity to study at Pacific University and the University of Texas at Austin. Pacific is an incredible place to study. The small classes and equally small departments provide unparalleled opportunities for academic and personal development. I am particularly grateful to Lawrence Lipin and Alex Toth for their mentorship during my time at Pacific.

  • The Interracial Marriage of Catherine and Edward Marcus
    † Designated as an Exemplary Final Project for 2014-15 A Caribbean Coupling Beyond Black and White: The Interracial Marriage of Catherine and Edward Marcus Despard and its Implications for British Views on Race, Class, and Gender during the Age of Reform Bernadette M. Gillis Faculty Advisor: Susan Thorne History Department August 2014 This project was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Graduate Liberal Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University. i Copyright by Bernadette M. Gillis 2014 ii Abstract British Army colonel, Edward Marcus Despard, and Catherine Despard, a woman from the Caribbean and most likely of African descent, were married some time during the late eighteenth century. Their marriage was quite unusual for its time, yet their union appears to have been successful and went unchallenged by the government and many individuals they encountered. This project explores the social and political environment that made their unlikely union possible and demonstrates how their interracial marriage serves as a marker of the more fluid and tolerant character of racial attitudes in the Age of Reform. An examination of the Despards’ political activity in London also offers insight into multiple social and political issues affecting Great Britain and its colonies during the late- eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, including race, class, gender, freedom, and human rights. iii Table of Contents ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................................

CAVEN LIBRARY KNOX COLLEGE TORONTO LONDON : SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION, 56, OLD BAILEY. 80331 PRINTED BY JOHNSON AND GREEN, LORD STREET, SOUTHPORT. P KEF ACE. UPON the occasion of the Sunday School Union, in the year 1853, celebrating the Jubilee of that Institution, its history to that period was recorded in a volume prepared by one of the Secretaries and published by the Committee, entitled " THE HISTORY OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION." A desire had been expressed for a Second Edition of that Work, and in preparing for a compliance with that request the Author discovered that the papers read at the Sunday School Convention of 1862 contained a large amount of information relative to the progress of the Sunday-school system which had not any connection with the history of the Sunday School Union. He was therefore led to consider whether a volume devoted to the narrative of the origin and progress of the the first of its Sunday-school system during fifty years of the history, in which the proceedings Sunday School Union should be recorded only so far as they materially influenced that progress, might not be the most convenient PREFACE. [ Vt mode of preserving the memory of the facts which, under the guidance of Divine Providence, have resulted in the establishment of so wide-spread and beneficial agency. The present volume is the result of that consideration, and is now submitted to the perusal especially of the friends of the religious training of the young, with the hope that it will excite gratitude to the Author of all Good, who has so wonderfully guided and blessed the thoughts and actions of His servants, and made them so extensively useful.

THIS volume of Pepysiana, as its title implies, consists of odds and ends of information, but I hope it will not be thought that it needs excuse on this account. Much more might have been written upon most of the subjects dealt with, but I have tried to bear in mind the rule which I set myself at the outset, that nothing should be inserted which did not illustrate directly either the life or the work of Samuel Pepys. This is not so easy a rule to follow as it might seem at first sight, for in carrying it out interesting particulars occasionally have had to be rejected. I hope that the notes here collected will be found to throw some light upon a few previously un- solved difficulties. In dealing with a wide field of inquiry such as the present, it is impossible to do much without the unstinted help of friends. It is a great pleasure, therefore, to find how kind these friends are in helping with information at the cost of much trouble to themselves.
