A database has been constructed from the extant London Fire Office registers of 31,000 businesses trading either in the periods 1769-1777 or 1819- 1825, and in a few cases in both. Represented are over 1300 separate trades covering the entire spectrum of manufacturing, construction, wholesale and retail distribution, transport and the service sector. To complement this data, use has also been made of trade directories, bankruptcy files, trade card collections, Census data and contemporary literature on London trades, including career guides. In order to analyse trends over this period, the database uses a version of the modern Standard Industrial Classification modified by the author. The 1300 separate trades are grouped into 101 sectors within seven main divisions of the economy. The database includes the name(s) of the proprietors of the business, the address, the trade and details of the risks insured. From this it has been possible to present statistical evidence on a number of areas of controversy about the role of London during the Industrial Revolution. It is shown that London remained a major manufacturing centre throughout the period. It has also been possible to exemplify in detail the impact of the 18th century consumer revolution by charting the expansion and increasing diversity of the wholesale and retail distribution sectors. Finally, the Importance of the role of service industries in the economy of London has been established, with special reference to transport and catering. Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the computer expertise of my son-in- law, Jonathan Birkett. As a member of the pre-computer generation, I could not have coped without his ever ready willingness to help and advise. I am also grateful for the help of the staff of the Guildhall Library, and the many other libraries I used, over the many months during which I was gathering the mountains of data on which it is based. Above all, this thesis would never have happened without the initial inspiration and unfailing subsequent advice, guidance and enthusiastic support of my supervisor, Professor Stanley Chapman. Finally, it most certainly would never have been written without either the constant support of my family or the patience and understanding of my wife during the several years in which it took up so much of my time. It is my greatest pleasure to dedicate it to her. 1 Introduction Speaking in New York in 1925, Calvin Coolidge, 30th President of the United States, said "The chief business of the American people is business". A century earlier it would have been just as true to have said that of London. Roy Porter's most recent study of London has a quotation from Southey which might well have applied to New York a century later, "I happened to go into a pastrycook's shop one morning and inquired of the mistress kept her why she window open during this severe weather - which I observed most of the trade did. She told me, that were she to close it, her be receipts would lessened forty or fifty shillings a day - so many were the persons who took up buns or biscuits as they passed by and threw their pence in, not allowing themselves time to enter. Was there ever so indefatigable a people! "' For Roy Porter, London "Between the two Elizabeths, between 1570 and 1986 to be more precise... was to become the world's greatest city. "2 This is, perhaps, a trifle exaggerated. Indeed he goes on to make the same point himself.

  • Pepys Greenwich Walk
    Samuel Pepys’ Walk through the eastern City of London and Greenwich Distance = 5 miles (8 km) Estimated duration = 3 – 4 hours not including the river trip to Greenwich Nearest underground stations: This is planned to start from the Monument underground station, but could be joined at several other places including Aldgate or Tower Hill underground stations. You can do this Walk on any day of the week, but my recommendation would be to do the first part on a Wednesday or a Thursday because there may be free lunchtime classical recitals in one of the churches that are on the route. The quietest time would be at the weekend because the main part of this Walk takes place in the heart of the business district of London, which is almost empty at that time. However this does mean that many places will be closed including ironically the churches as well as most of the pubs and Seething Lane Garden. It’s a good idea to buy a one-day bus pass or travel card if you don’t already have one, so that you needn’t walk the whole route but can jump on and off any bus going in your direction. This is based around the Pepys Diary website at www.pepysdiary.com and your photographs could be added to the Pepys group collection here: www.flickr.com/groups/pepysdiary. And if you aren't in London at present, perhaps you'd like to attempt a "virtual tour" through the hyperlinks, or alternatively explore London via google streetview, the various BBC London webcams or these ones, which are much more comprehensive.

  • Dignitatis Humanae and the Development of Moral Doctrine: Assessing Change in Catholic Social Teaching on Religious Liberty
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Dignitatis humanae and the Development of Moral Doctrine: Assessing Change in Catholic Social Teaching on Religious Liberty A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Barrett Hamilton Turner Washington, D.C 2015 Dignitatis humanae and the Development of Moral Doctrine: Assessing Change in Catholic Social Teaching on Religious Liberty Barrett Hamilton Turner, Ph.D. Director: Joseph E. Capizzi, Ph.D. Vatican II’s Declaration on Religious Liberty, Dignitatis humanae (DH), poses the problem of development in Catholic moral and social doctrine. This problem is threefold, consisting in properly understanding the meaning of pre-conciliar magisterial teaching on religious liberty, the meaning of DH itself, and the Declaration’s implications for how social doctrine develops. A survey of recent scholarship reveals that scholars attend to the first two elements in contradictory ways, and that their accounts of doctrinal development are vague. The dissertation then proceeds to the threefold problematic. Chapter two outlines the general parameters of doctrinal development. The third chapter gives an interpretation of the pre- conciliar teaching from Pius IX to John XXIII. To better determine the meaning of DH, the fourth chapter examines the Declaration’s drafts and the official explanatory speeches (relationes) contained in Vatican II’s Acta synodalia. The fifth chapter discusses how experience may contribute to doctrinal development and proposes an explanation for how the doctrine on religious liberty changed, drawing upon the work of Jacques Maritain and Basile Valuet.

In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. • Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.

  • September 25 Danbury Museum
    Like Tweet in Farmer John says... Hello Friends! As the song goes... "But it's a long, long while From May to December And the days grow short When you reach September..." We're happy to see you all again and hope that despite the current challenges, you and yours are keeping well. This month, as we wind up the harvest season, we've been thinking about food. Comfort food, warming beverages, and tasty treats. We'll share some recipes––new and old––including one for The White Turkey Inn's "Danbury Cocktail" as well as some 19th century delicacies from the Danbury Fair, on our Museum From Home page for your October dining and cooking inspiration. And we've had our talented columnists write about food, too, each from their own unique perspective. Bob Young writes about feeding an army...quite literally; Dr Tom MacGregor writes about the "Year With No Leaves" thanks to very hungry caterpillars (the dreaded Gypsy Moth invasion of 1981); and John O'Donnell put us in mind of the celebratory season and no one enjoyed or wrote about it like Charles Dickens. Thank you again to Bob, Tom, and John for their contributions! If you haven't stopped by the museum campus yet to visit the Fair that John Built outdoor exhibit (curated so beautifully by Elaine Lagarto) or the 1918 Pandemic exhibit, the weather is perfect these days for some socially distant viewing! The Legend of Johnny Appleseed story that is scattered throughout the garden is perfect to read to--or with--your kids.

Nor does the author offer any apology for adding yet another volume to the long list of books, already existing, which deal in some way or other with England's classic book of humour, because it isn't so much his fault as might appear on the surface. A year or two ago he contributed to an American paper a series of twenty articles on some of the prominent inns mentioned in the works of Dickens, and before the series was completed he received many overtures to publish them in volume form.
