  • The Church Act
    The Church Act: The expansion of Christianity or the imposition of moral enlightenment? David Stoneman A Thesis submitted as fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of New England, Australia, 2011. Abstract The Church Act (1836) redefined and reinvigorated the religious environment in the emerging British colony of New South Wales, which profoundly impacted on its social and political development in a period of rapid population growth. It was a popular measure that has seen Governor Richard Bourke, its principal architect, be remembered as a provider of religious freedom. The simple motivation of the Act to expand Christianity and therefore morality has been complicated by the assertion that it assisted the expansion of a ‘new faith’ called moral enlightenment. This changes the implication of the Act and redefines the motives of the people responsible for its introduction, especially Bourke, by assuming that secular Enlightenment principles overrode Christian objectives. This has provided an ideological superstructure that has been used by some nationalist historians to present a picture of New South Wales colonial life that was fundamentally irreligious verging on atheistic. This has served to diminish the importance of religious thought and belief in the early development of Australia. This thesis argues that the Church Act was conceived to counter various forms of alternative belief and synchronised Christianity, ranging from plebeian ‘folk religion’ to heterodoxical, intellectual Protestantism. It encouraged orthodox Christianity by financially supporting the denominations that had cultural as well as spiritual connections to the majority of the population. The thesis concludes that the Church Act should be categorised as being a product of the ‘Age of Atonement’ not the imposition of moral enlightenment.

  • Woman's Work in the Service of Empire: Lady Margaret Field (1905-94) from School Teacher to Governor's Wife
    1 Woman’s work in the service of empire: Lady Margaret Field (1905-94) from school teacher to governor’s wife The presence of single and also of married British women in overseas colonies, especially those employed by or married to men in the Colonial Service in the later colonial period, has been the subject of scholarly enquiry. Their lives, roles and values and their distinctive contribution, if any, to the development of empire and of its ending have been debated. Their gendered roles were usually subordinate in a masculine culture of empire, and especially as wives they are commonly regarded as marginalised. The archived records left by Lady Margaret Field reveal her commitment as a single woman to a colonial mission and her sense of achievement as a school teacher and educational administrator, while also acknowledging the independence and career satisfactions she subsequently lost when she married a senior Colonial Service officer who rose to be a governor. But it is also apparent that though incorporated and subordinate as a governor’s wife to her husband’s career she was not marginalised to a separate sphere. As is evident from this case study, governors’ wives had important and demanding political duties, and such responsibilities need to be acknowledged. I It is now some years since the conceptualisation of Britain’s empire as an enterprise created and solely managed by white men and expressing the masculine values of the western male was first challenged. The presence of British women in overseas colonies is now more certainly

    Divide and Tolerate: Imperial Secularisms in Ireland, India, and Britain, 1774- 1815 A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Justin Blake Biel IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Professor Anna Clark May 2014 © Justin Biel 2014 i Acknowledgements It is a little overwhelming to think back on several years of graduate study and to take stock of all of the debts, scholarly or otherwise, that I have accumulated over that period. I am fortunate to have had the consistent support and encouragement of the faculty, staff, and students in the history department at the University of Minnesota since my first days as a graduate student. Should I fail in the following paragraphs to mention by name anyone who provided insight, inspiration, guidance, hospitality, financial support, or friendship, the omission is my mistake and unintentional. I owe my first and deepest thanks to my adviser Anna Clark. Anna not only set me on the track of this dissertation topic by supervising me in a research partnership project on Richard Johnson; her edits, suggestions, and questions at every step of the writing process made this a much clearer and more readable dissertation. In every other aspect of graduate training, her guidance has been unfailingly astute. Anna’s clarifying voice in the field of modern British history offers a model of scholarship that I will continue to strive to reproduce. Many University of Minnesota faculty members have been generous with their time, insights, and encouragement. From my second year on, Michael Hancher took an interest in my work, and afforded me opportunities to explore related historiography and printed primary source material as his research assistant on his “Construction of English in India” project.

MURDER AT THE UNIVERSITY - AN INTRODUCTION On March 4, 1851, at the State University in Columbia, Missouri, there occurred one of those incidents that from time to time break up the stately progress of the academic year. It seems that young George Clarkson got in a brawl with a fellow student. Upon hearing of this unseemly affair, the faculty convened and docked each of the combatants fifty marks. Professor Robert Grant, coming late to the meeting, encountered Clarkson on the steps and asked how the matter had been resolved.

Page 1 Website:http://www.whitlockfamilyassociation.com Another issue of the Newsletter with details of the latest break through in our research. The discovery of proof of a connection we have sought for more that forty years! The article on Colonel Bulstrode Liddiard Whitelocke starts with his Will of 1822 which names his only son Robert Heriot Whitelocke who, in 1860 published the Memoirs Bulstrode Whitelocke (1605-1675). We have known for years that Robert’s father was Bulstrode and that Bulstrode had a brother John and that they were likely part of the WHITLOCK02H family but the place they showed on this family had never made sense as the dates did not fit and there were several generations missing between the brothers Bulstrode and John and the person shown as their father. The article details how we found proof Colonel Bulstrode Whitelocke was the brother of General John Whitelocke (1758-1833) and they were both sons of John Whitelocke and Sarah Liddiard. News travels fast and I heard from several descendants happy with finally having a clear and proven line of descent from John Whitloke and Agnes delaBeche. While on the theme of Bulstrode Whitlocks, I included the 1732 Will of Colonel Whitelocke’s great uncle Bulstrode Whitelocke (1678-1737) as the Colonel’s father John Whitelocke was one of the executors and legatees named in this Will.
