  • Education, Instruction and Apprenticeship at the London Foundling Hospital C.1741 - 1800
    Fashioning the Foundlings – Education, Instruction and Apprenticeship at the London Foundling Hospital c.1741 - 1800 Janette Bright MRes in Historical Research University of London September 2017 Institute of Historical Research School of Advanced Study Index Chapter One – Introduction Pages 2 - 14 Chapter Two – Aims and objectives Pages 14 - 23 Chapter Three - Educating the Foundlings: Pages 24 - 55 schooling and vocational instruction Chapter Four – Apprenticeship Pages 56 - 78 Chapter Five – Effectiveness and experience: Pages 79 - 97 assessing the outcomes of education and apprenticeship Chapter Six – Final conclusions Pages 98 - 103 Appendix – Prayers for the use of the foundlings Pages 104 - 105 Bibliography Pages 106 - 112 3 Chapter one: introduction Chapter One: Introduction Despite the prominence of the word 'education' in the official title of the London Foundling Hospital, that is 'The Hospital for the Maintenance and Education of Exposed and Deserted Young Children', it is surprising to discover this is an under researched aspect of its history. Whilst researchers have written about this topic in a general sense, gaps and deficiencies in the literature still exist. By focusing on this single component of the Hospital’s objectives, and combining primary sources in new ways, this study aims to address these shortcomings. In doing so, the thesis provides a detailed assessment of, first, the purpose and form of educational practice at the Hospital and, second, the outcomes of education as witnessed in the apprenticeship programme in which older foundlings participated. In both cases, consideration is given to key shifts in education and apprenticeship practices, and to the institutional and contextual forces that prompted these developments over the course of the eighteenth century.

  • Research Guide
    RESEARCH GUIDE Foundling Hospital Archives LMA Research Guide 33: Finding Your Foundling - A guide to finding records in the Foundling Hospital Archives CONTENTS Introduction Sources Bibliography Web Links Introduction This is a quick guide to tracing a foundling in the records of the Foundling Hospital held at London Metropolitan Archives. The 'System' for care of foundlings was as follows: Admission Children under 12 months were admitted subject to regulations set down by the General Committee. The mother had to present a petition explaining the background; these were not always accepted. Once admitted, the children were baptised and renamed, each being identified by an admission number. Nursing The children were despatched to wet or dry nurses in the Country. These nurses were mostly in the Home Counties but could be as far away as West Yorkshire or Shropshire. The nurses were monitored by voluntary Inspectors. School Once the children had reached the age of between 3 and 5 they were returned to London to the Foundling Hospital. Apart from reading classes, there were practical tasks, music classes and sewing projects. Apprenticeship Children were apprenticed to trades or services, or enlisted to serve in the armed forces, (especially later on in the nineteenth century, when the hospital's musical tradition was well known). Sources When foundlings were admitted to the Hospital, they were baptised and given a new name. The most important pieces of information you need to find a foundling are the child's number and the child's name. Armed with these you can find out quite a lot about each child.

  • Emma and “The Children in Brunswick Square” : U
    y y Emma and “the children in Brunswick Square” : u : LAURIE KAPLAN Laurie Kaplan, Professor of English and Academic Director of George Washington University’s England Center, has published essays on Jane Austen, Tom Stoppard, Paul Scott, and women writers of the First World War. She is a former editor of Persuasions . “‘To give up one’s child! ’” I C O J A ’ Emma , on the evening of Miss Taylor’s marriage to Mr. Weston, when Emma and her father are feeling abandoned and bereft, Mr. Knightley arrives at Hartfield “directly from their mutual con - nections in London . to say that all were well in Brunswick-square” (9). 1 A contemporary reviewer of Emma “commended” Austen in The Champion for her choice of John and Isabella Knightleys’ neighborhood : “ when we are occa - sionally transported to London, our authoress has the originality to waive Grosvenor or Berkeley-squares, and set us down in humble Brunswick- square ” ( qtd. in Cronin and McMillan 534). While Austen’s syntax empha - sizes “Brunswick-square,” critics have commented upon the airy neighb orhood where Mr. Knightley’s brother and Emma’s sister live only in the broader con - text of London. Yet, Austen repeats Brunswick Square so many times (eleven, in fact) that the square functions as an iconic (perhaps ironic) motif . But how does this notch in a corner of Bloomsbury resonate in the context of a novel that seems to focus more specifically on Hartfield and Highbury? What is Brunswick Square to Emma , and what is Emma to Brunswick Square? The recurring reference to Brunswick Square may be one of the reasons Jane Austen was reluctant to dedicate her novel to the Prince Regent.
