Signature:……………………………………… 3 University of Sussex Submitted for a DPhil in Intellectual History and the History of Political Thought The Chevalier Andrew Michael Ramsay’s Essay de Politique: Fénelon and Jacobitism Summary Andrew Michael Ramsay‟s Essay de Politique (1719) and the revised second edition, the Essay philosophique sur le gouvernement civil (1721) claimed to promulgate the political principles of the Archbishop Fénelon author of Télémaque (1699). The assumed relationship between Fénelon and Ramsay augmented by Ramsay‟s Vie de Fénelon (1723) meant that subsequent biographers of both men have believed the Essay to be a faithful depiction of the prelate‟s political ideas. However this work, aided by the Vie de Fénelon was used by Ramsay to promote the Jacobite cause of James Stuart (the „Pretender‟). The Essay was used by Ramsay to set out a theoretical system of government that would prevent an „excess of liberty‟ in the people and thereby prevent the possibility of Revolution against a king. Ramsay‟s second edition augmented this idea with a more focused attack on the contract theorists and apologists for the 1689 Revolution. Ramsay deliberately manipulated the political legacy of Fénelon and focused on a corrupted view of Fénelon‟s early (children‟s) educational works in his promotion of Jacobitism. In doing so, he disregarded the important later reform plans for the French state under the potential reign of (an adult) Duke of Burgundy which were later influential in Regency France. Moreover, Ramsay manipulated the name and reputation of Fénelon to disguise the real influence of his Essay, Fénelon‟s nemesis Bossuet. The reliance of the Essay upon the seventeenth century absolutist theory of Bossuet at a time when eighteenth century Britain and Regency France had rejected absolutism in favour of reform led to its failure. The aim of the Thesis is therefore to examine the extent of Ramsay‟s Jacobitism, his impact on the political legacy of Fénelon in his attempt to create a work of Jacobite propaganda, and the true influences on the Essay de Politique. 4 Acknowledgments I would first and foremost like to thank my supervisor Richard Whatmore for his support and advice over what seems a very long time indeed. I owe you a great debt of gratitude for your patience with my harassment over the last few years and for the various opportunities you have provided for me. I would like to thank Cesare Cuttica for our invaluable discussions on absolutism, monarchy and government; for his advice on numerous fields of investigation and his insightful feedback after reading a draft of my thesis. This thanks I would like to extend to Mark Somos for his perceptive advice on the thesis and its format, and Mia Saugman for her offer of checking the French within the Thesis at such short notice. I should like to thank both Knud Haakonssen and Jim Livesey for some interesting conversations on Jacobitism, France and Scotland. Lastly, I would also like to recognize the Sussex Centre for Intellectual History and the inspiration drawn from its members, its conferences and the fascinating Works in Progress meetings. I would like to thank my family and friends, particularly my Mum for her support especially in earlier in the Thesis, as well as to Paddy for listening to me prattle on over the years about Ramsay. My daughters Charlotte and Lana also deserve a very special mention as a source of inspiration and a means of keeping my feet firmly on the ground. My greatest thanks go to my beautiful wife Sam for all her love, patience, support, proof- reading, and motivation in good times and more stressful times; and basically for putting up with the early mornings, late nights, weekends, and holidays. I could not have done this without you! 5 Contents Introduction 7 I: Andrew Michael Ramsay 17 Ramsay‟s Association with Fénelon 25 Ramsay and the Jacobites 31 II: Jacobitism in England and fear of the French, 1701-1722 38 1701 57 1711 65 1716 73 1722 81 French Notions of Political Reform, 1714-1721 88 III: The Political Fénelon 101 The Life of Fénelon 101 The Educational Works: (1689-1695) 108 Plans and Reforms: (1701-1712) 126 Ramsay‟s Editing of Fénelon‟s Political Works 144 IV: The Essay de Politique 151 Man, Civil Society and Sovereignty 152 An „Excess of Liberty‟ 164 „Monarchy moderated by Aristocracy‟ 172 6 V: Ramsay’s Jacobitism: The Essay philosophique sur le gouvernement civil and the Vie de Fénelon 177 „Lovers of Independency‟ 182 Promoting Jacobitism 192 The Influence of Bossuet on the Essay 200 Conclusion 218 Bibliography 222 7 Introduction Andrew Michael Ramsay‟s Essay de Politique (1719) is an unusual work that attempted to achieve a number of objectives which appeared to fail in all but one of them. These objectives were: to shape and promulgate a view of Fénelon‟s political works for an eager public desirous for more political commentary from the author of Télémaque; to provide a work that promoted the Jacobite cause in England; to create a „plan of government‟1 that assuaged the fears of „an excess of liberty,‟2 and to promote the career of Andrew Michael Ramsay. All but the last of these objectives were to fail. What Ramsay actually achieved with the production of the Essay and its second edition (1721), was a political legacy for Fénelon that was inaccurate and a „plan‟ of government that failed through its merger of two opposing systems of government: absolutism moderated by nobility. Consequently, the only objective that Ramsay achieved with the Essay was his own self-promotion as he rose among Jacobite circles to become a baronet and briefly acted as tutor to the young prince Charles in 1724. The Essay de Politique has subsequently become a neglected work, serving mainly as a footnote in Fénelon‟s Oeuvres, while Ramsay has become known either for his very successful Travels of Cyrus (1727) or through his association with the Freemasons. This disregard of the Essay de Politique and its second edition, the Essay philosophique sur le gouvernement civil neglects a crucial period in the literary career of Ramsay. The work was written at a time when Ramsay had become the editor of the Archbishop Fénelon‟s papers and manuscripts. It was a time when Ramsay‟s association with the Jacobite movement became far more involved, and it was at the beginning of his literary career. The Essay de Politique therefore reveals the early political thought and influence of a man who 1 Ramsay, Essay de Politique (H. Scheurleer, Le Haye, 1719), ii. 2 Ibid. 1-2. 8 was to become a literary success in Europe, man of letters, tutor to a (deposed) prince, and active Jacobite. Ramsay claimed that work was based upon the political principles of Fénelon, a thinker whose political ideas of reform and attacks on the absolutist regime of Louis XIV‟s France were much in demand in Regency France at this time. Ramsay‟s earlier association with Fénelon and his role as the editor of his papers therefore seemed to have allowed access to a much deeper understanding of the unpublished political thought of the prelate. Yet, the Essay sits rather at odds with the political principles expounded in works such as Télémaque which attacked absolutism while the Essay promoted absolutism in an attempt to restrain the „liberty‟ of the people and the possibility of rebellion. Ramsay‟s endeavours to utilize absolutist political theory for the Jacobite cause in an effort to reject the 1689 Revolution and legitimacy of popular revolt, employed arguments that did not belong to Fénelon. This thesis therefore has three linked aims which I will examine in relation to Ramsay‟s Essay de Politique. The first aim is to examine the extent of Ramsay‟s Jacobitism and to place him within the Jacobite movement and to discuss how this shaped the Essay, in particular the second edition. The second aim is to delineate the actual influence of Fénelon‟s political principles upon the Essay, and how his apparent subterfuge was used to promote the Jacobite cause for the benefit of the movement and of Ramsay. The final aim is to reveal the real influence upon the Essay, thereby arguing against the previous beliefs that the work was either indebted to Locke, Filmer, Bodin or Hobbes,3 or the (historically) predominant view that the work simply reflected the principles of Fénelon.4 In examining these three aims it 3 For discussions of the influence of the Essay see, Albert Cherel, Fénelon au xviiie Siècle en France (1715- 1820).

  • John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal
    John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal Ágnes Juhász-Ormsby The Episcopal Library of St. John’s is among the few nineteenth- century libraries that survive in their original setting in the Atlantic provinces, and the only one in Newfoundland and Labrador.1 It was established by John Thomas Mullock (1807–69), Roman Catholic bishop of Newfoundland and later of St. John’s, who in 1859 offered his own personal collection of “over 2500 volumes as the nucleus of a Public Library.” The Episcopal Library in many ways differs from the theological libraries assembled by Mullock’s contemporaries.2 When compared, for example, to the extant collection of the Catholic bishop of Victoria, Charles John Seghers (1839–86), whose life followed a similar pattern to Mullock’s, the division in the founding collection of the Episcopal Library between the books used for “private” as opposed to “public” theological study becomes even starker. Seghers’s books showcase the customary stock of a theological library with its bulky series of manuals of canon law, collections of conciliar and papal acts and bullae, and practical, dogmatic, moral theological, and exegetical works by all the major authors of the Catholic tradition.3 In contrast to Seghers, Mullock’s library, although containing the constitutive elements of a seminary library, is a testimony to its found- er’s much broader collecting habits. Mullock’s books are not restricted to his philosophical and theological studies or to his interest in univer- sal church history. They include literary and secular historical works, biographies, travel books, and a broad range of journals in different languages that he obtained, along with other necessary professional 494 newfoundland and labrador studies, 32, 2 (2017) 1719-1726 John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal tools, throughout his career.

  • Catalogue 2017
    Adopt a Book Catalogue 2017 1. Claudius Ptolomaeus, Geographia; Venice, 1562 – H.III.16 In his Geographia, Greek astronomer and polymath Claudius Ptolemy offered instruction in laying out maps by three different methods of projection; provided coordinates for some eight thousand places; and treated such basic concepts as geographical latitude and longitude. A best seller both in the age of luxurious manuscripts and in that of print, Ptolemy's Geography became one of the most influential cartographical manuals in history. Maps based on scientific principles had been produced in Europe as early as the 3rd century B.C.; however, Ptolemy’s work was different in that it offered instruction in the art of map projection. Its translation, first into Arabic in the 9th century, and then later into Latin in the 14th century, was seen as strongly influencing the cartographic traditions of both the Medieval Caliphate and Renaissance Europe. Columbus – one of its many readers – found inspiration in Ptolemy's exaggerated value for the size of Asia for his own fateful journey to the west. It was a key source for the maps of prominent cartographers including Martellus and Waldseemueller. ADOPTED £80 2.

  • Patronage, Performance, and Reputation in the Eighteenth-Century Church
    PATRONAGE, PERFORMANCE, AND REPUTATION IN THE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHURCH DANIEL REED OXFORD BROOKES UNIVERSITY Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the award of Doctor of Philosophy in History SEPTEMBER 2019 1 Lancelot Blackburne, Archbishop of York. After unknown artist. Mezzotint, sold by Thomas Bakewell. 1724 or after. Private collection of Daniel Reed. 2 For Freya 3 Abstract The perceived success of the revisionist programme in dissipating the ‘longest shadow in modern historiography’ calls into question the ongoing relevance of ‘optimistic’ versus ‘pessimistic’ interpretations of the Church of England in the long eighteenth century. And yet, the case of Lancelot Blackburne, Archbishop of York (1724-1743), has not benefitted from the ‘revisionist turn’ and represents an unparalleled problem in accounts of the Georgian episcopate. Whilst Benjamin Hoadly has been the most maligned bishop of the period for his theology, Blackburne is the most derided for his personal imperfections and supposed negligence of his episcopal duties. These references are often pernicious and euphemistic, manifesting in several quasi-apocryphal tales. The most regularly occurring being accounts of Blackburne’s lasciviousness, speculation over the paternity of his chaplain Thomas Hayter, and the Archbishop’s association with piracy. As long as these bastions of resistance to revisionism remain, negative assumptions will linger on in contemporary studies of the Church, regardless of whether they are reframed by current trends. As such, this thesis utilises under-explored archival sources to reorient Blackburne’s case to its historical context. This is achieved through an exploration of the inter-connected themes of patronage, performance, and reputation.

  • Benjamin Hoadly, Samuel Clarke, and the Ethics of the Bangorian Controversy: Church, State, and the Moral Law
    religions Article Benjamin Hoadly, Samuel Clarke, and the Ethics of the Bangorian Controversy: Church, State, and the Moral Law Dafydd Mills Daniel Faculty of Theology and Religion, University of Oxford, Oxford OX2 6GG, UK; [email protected] Received: 30 September 2020; Accepted: 28 October 2020; Published: 12 November 2020 Abstract: The Bangorian controversy has been described as ‘the most bitter ideological conflict of the [eighteenth] century’ (J.C.D. Clark). However, while its impact is widely recognised, there are few studies dedicated to the controversy itself. Moreover, the figure at the centre of it all—Benjamin Hoadly, the Bishop of Bangor—has not always been taken seriously. Such scholars as Norman Sykes, G.R. Cragg, and B.W. Young have dismissed Hoadly as an opportunistic ‘political bishop’, rather than an adept theological thinker. By contrast, this article demonstrates that Hoadly’s Bangorian writings were embedded within the ethical rationalist moral theology of Isaac Newton’s friend, and defender against Gottfried Leibniz, Samuel Clarke. As a follower of Clarke, Hoadly objected to the doctrine of apostolic succession, and to the existence of religious conformity laws in Church and state, because they prevented Christianity from being what he thought it ought to be: a religion of conscience. Keywords: Benjamin Hoadly; Samuel Clarke; Bangorian controversy; religious conformity laws; conscience; ethical rationalism; church and state; moral and political theology; early English Enlightenment; Low and High Church Anglicanism 1. Introduction The Bangorian controversy followed publication of a 1717 sermon, ‘The Nature of the Kingdom of Christ’ by Benjamin Hoadly, Bishop of Bangor.

  • Constitutional Violations by the United States Supreme Court: Analytical Foundations
    NOWLIN.DOC 10/19/2005 2:02:22 PM CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS BY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT: ANALYTICAL FOUNDATIONS Jack Wade Nowlin* Legal scholarship has generally neglected the questions sur- rounding the analytical foundations of the concept of constitutional violations by courts of last resort and the implications of this concept for traditional debates over the judicial power between proponents of judicial restraint and activism. In this article, Professor Nowlin ex- amines these questions and concludes that constitutions can limit courts of last resort and, thus, that the U.S. Constitution can limit the U.S. Supreme Court. Significantly, the purposes of constitutions in- clude creating and limiting governmental institutions such as courts of last resort, and the U.S. Constitution both created and limits the U.S. Supreme Court. Constitutional limits on the federal judicial power likely extend beyond familiar constraints on federal jurisdiction to the use of interpretive methodologies and thus encompass questions of the proper judicial role as activist or restrained. Professor Nowlin further concludes that the Court’s finality of decision in no sense entails a substantive infallibility, and, therefore, the Court’s supreme self-affirmation of the constitutionality of its own decisions does not finally resolve the question of whether the Court has violated the Constitution. Professor Nowlin also elucidates the distinction between extra-constitutional and intra-constitutional inter- pretive authority, explaining in what manner a constitution may au- thorize and limit the interpretive authority of institutions internal to a * Associate Professor of Law and Jessie D.
