At face-value, the thesis’ main aim is to contextualize in detail Mill’s published writings on these four subjects (which comprise its four chapters) by virtue of comparing them with unpublished manuscript material present in his common place books, which were transcribed as part of this PhD project. Although the chapters are developed in such a way that they can be seen as independent studies of Mill’s thought, there are of course more general themes which run through the thesis as a whole, as well as specific links between particular topics. One notable example is the notion that Mill employed ‘dissimulation’ in his published writings, that is to say that he did not necessarily express in public the full extent of his ideas, because of a fear that their radical extent would attract intrigue or prosecution from the reactionary governmental or religious authorities in Britain. It is also prudent to note how Mill’s well-documented intellectual influences are incorporated into the thesis. By this we are referring to the importance of the Scottish Enlightenment background to Mill’s own education and upbringing near Aberdeen and in Edinburgh, and also the doctrine of Utilitarianism he adopted from Jeremy Bentham once in London. The particular nature of the material found in the common place books warrants a full re-evaluation of these influences, as well as an exploration of the possibility that additional influences beyond these two contexts have thus far been understated in studies of Mill. This suggests the value of the study to current Mill scholarship.

My research has been funded by the AHRC, as a collaborative doctoral award project between the University of Sussex and the London Library. I am grateful to the Librarian and staff at the London Library, where the first four volumes of Mill’s common place books are held, for their help during the first three years of my studies, and for the use of their extensive collections. I have also made much use of the collections at the British Library, the University of Sussex Library, the Library of Somerville College, Oxford, and the British Library of Political and Economic Science at LSE, the latter of which holds the fifth volume of Mill’s common place books. My greatest expression of thanks, however, must go to my supervisors and colleagues at the University of Sussex, and more specifically at the Centre for Intellectual History, for their invaluable and seemingly limitless support given to me during the researching and writing of this thesis. I would like to thank in particular my supervisors, Richard Whatmore and Donald Winch. vi Note on sources The unpublished sources consulted in this thesis comprise a range of manuscript material in the five volumes of James Mill’s common place books held in the archives of the London Library (volumes I–IV) and the British Library of Political and Economic Science (volume V). The transcription of the manuscripts consulted is an unpublished typescript by Robert A. Fenn, which was finalised in about 1993 and substantially checked upon its recovery in 2009. In 2010, as part of the research objectives for this PhD project, Mill’s first four common place books, along with editorial and bibliographical material by Fenn, were published online under the auspices of the Sussex Centre for Intellectual History.1 Citations of material in the common place books in this thesis refer to the physical manuscripts. They follow the form of the volume of the ledger followed by a reference to the folio and scrap from which the extract was taken (e.g. CPB II 2ra1 relates to the first scrap (1) in the first column (a) on the recto (r) of page 2 in common place book volume II). 1 James Mill's Common Place Books, ed. Robert A. Fenn; University of Sussex, 2010; online edn [http://intellectualhistory.net/mill/] 1 Prologue: ‘Keys of Knowledge’ And with regard to the danger of training the people generally to habits of servility and toleration of arbitrary power, if their education be entrusted to Government, or persons patronised by the Government, – we can only say, that although we are far from considering the danger either as small or chimerical, it is still so very great and good to have the whole facility of reading and writing diffused through the whole body of the people, that we should be willing to run considerable risks for its acquirement, or even greatly to accelerate that acquirement. There is something in the possession of those keys of knowledge and of thought, so truly admirable, that, when joined to another inestimable blessing, it is scarcely possible for any government to convert them into instruments of evil. That security is – the Liberty of the Press. Let the people only be taught to read, though by instruments ever so little friendly to their general interests, and the very intelligence of the age will provide them with books which will prove an antidote to the poison of their pedagogues… But grant, a reading people and a free press, – and the prejudices on which misrule supports itself will gradually and silently disappear. The impressions, indeed, which it is possible to make at the early age at which reading and writing are taught, and during the very short time that teaching lasts, are so very slight and transitory, that they must be easily effaced whenever there is anything to counteract them. James Mill, ‘Education of the Poor’2 In 1813 the Scottish philosopher, historian and journalist James Mill (1773–1836) contributed the article ‘Education of the Poor’ to the February edition of the Edinburgh Review. The piece was in one sense a restatement of the arguments Mill had advanced in the pamphlet Schools for All, published a year earlier, which had been both a robust defence of the Quaker Joseph Lancaster’s scheme for establishing monitorial schools in order to provide cheap education for the poor, and an equally strong rejection of a competing education system devised by the Church of England. The British and Foreign School Society, the organisation associated with Lancaster’s ideas, had advocated a method of instruction which was secular in nature, whereby reading of the Bible would 2 James Mill, “Education of the Poor,” Edinburgh Review XXI, no. 41 (February 1813): 211–2. 2 take place, but nothing was taught about the doctrines of specific Christian creeds. This was the basis of the scheme’s ecumenical structure, since the children of dissenters could attend alongside those from Anglican families. For the Church of England, however, such an arrangement was untenable. It feared that its authority would be undermined if children were educated without also being instructed in its catechism, and sought instead to promote schools for the poor which would remedy such an omission, thereby excluding those from dissenting faiths. What is more important than the historical context to ‘Education of the Poor’ at this early juncture, however, is the fact that it contained a passage which effectively represents the four crucial aspects of Mill’s political thought that this thesis is expressly concerned with investigating. Mill surmised in the article that the population at large could avoid corrupt and arbitrary government by virtue of possessing two ‘keys of knowledge’. These keys were basic literacy, and the ‘inestimable blessing’ of a free press. Within the passage Mill also made mention of his attitude towards institutions such as the established Church of England, which can be read in his remarks about the ‘poison’ of certain pedagogues, and how education is entrusted to ‘persons patronised by the Government’.

  • British and Foreign School Society
    BFSS Archives Info sheet No.1 The British and Foreign School Society Foundation The BFSS was built on the ideas and activities of Joseph Lancaster. In 1798, in an insalubrious area of Southwark in London, the 20 year old son of a former soldier now cane-sieve maker, set up a school for the children of the poor in his father’s house in Kent Street. Lancaster had had very little formal education, but he had great self- confidence, a magnetic personality and the natural gift of self-advertisement which helped attract donations and bring pupils to his school, in an era and location where most poor parents needed their children to start earning as soon as possible. Numbers of pupils rapidly increased, especially when Lancaster began providing free instruction to those who could not afford to pay, and even free meals. His success obliged him to rent larger and larger premises, eventually establishing his school in a barn-like building close to Belvedere Place, Borough Rd, Southwark (almost opposite the site of the later Borough Road College, now part of London South Bank University). Unable to pay for an assistant, Lancaster devised a system whereby older pupils, called monitors, taught the younger ones. This was the beginning of what was to be called the monitorial or Lancasterian system of teaching. What was forced on him by necessity Lancaster turned into a virtue and set about proclaiming the advantages of his monitorial system to the world via pamphlets and public speaking. By 1803 the success of the school in coping with several hundred children simultaneously attracted a wide audience and an enlarged edition of Lancaster’s pamphlet Improvements in Education provoked much interest.

    Dear Prudence: W.F. Lloyd on Population Growth and the Natural Wage Michael V. White Economics Department, Monash University [email protected] Presented to the Twenty-Third Conference of the History of Economic Thought Society of Australia, University of Sydney, 7-9 July 2010. [T]hough the interest of the labourer is strictly connected with that of the society, he is incapable either of comprehending that interest, or of understanding its connection with his own. His condition leaves him no time to receive the necessary information, and his education and habits are commonly such as to render him unfit to judge even though he was fully informed. In the publick deliberations, therefore, his voice is little heard and less regarded… Adam Smith [(1776) 1976a, I, xi, p.266] The Reverend William Forster Lloyd, Student of Christ Church and former lecturer in mathematics, was elected as the third Drummond professor of political economy at Oxford University in February 1832. Following the requirements of the university statute which established the chair, Lloyd published the first of his lectures, titled “Two lectures on the checks to population”, in the next year [Lloyd 1833]. Having read that pamphlet, the radical Francis Place wrote to Lloyd because they were both “fellow labourers for the benefit of the people”. Place had concluded that Lloyd followed Thomas Robert Malthus and Thomas Chalmers in recommending “late marriages[,] the parties in the meantime living chastely”, as the cure for excessive population growth and hence the condition of “the working people”.

  • 1. the Damnation of Economics
    Notes 1. The Damnation of Economics 1. One example of vice-regal patronage of anti-economics is Canada’s ‘Governor General’s Award for Non-Fiction’. In 1995 this honour was bestowed upon John Raulston Saul’s anti-economic polemic The Unconscious Civilization (published in 1996). A taste of Saul’s wisdom: ‘Over the last quarter-century economics has raised itself to the level of a scientific profession and more or less foisted a Nobel Prize in its own honour onto the Nobel committee thanks to annual financing from a bank. Yet over the same 25 years, economics has been spectacularly unsuc- cessful in its attempts to apply its models and theories to the reality of our civili- sation’ (Saul 1996, p. 4). See Pusey (1991) and Cox (1995) for examples of patronage of anti-economics by Research Councils and Broadcasting Corporations. 2. Another example of economists’ ‘stillness’: the economists of 1860 did not join the numerous editorial rebukes of Ruskin’s anti-economics tracts (Anthony, 1983). 3. The anti-economist is not to be contrasted with the economist. An economist (that is, a person with a specialist knowledge of economics) may be an anti- economist. The true obverse of anti-economist is ‘philo-economist’: someone who holds that economics is a boon. 4. One may think of economics as a disease (as the anti-economist does), or one may think of economics as diseased. Mark Blaug: ‘Modern economics is “sick” .

  • Tocqueville and Lower Canadian Educational Networks
    Encounters on Education Volume 7, Fall 2006 pp. 113 - 130 Tocqueville and Lower Canadian Educational Networks Bruce Curtis Sociology and Anthropology, Carleton University, Canada ABSTRACT Educational history is commonly written as the history of institutions, pedagogical practices or individual educators. This article takes the trans-Atlantic networks of men involved in liberal political and educational reform in the early decades of the nineteenth century as its unit of analysis. In keeping with the author’s interest in education and politics in the British North American colony of Lower Canada, the network is anchored on the person of Alexis de Tocqueville, who visited the colony in 1831. De Tocqueville’s more or less direct connections to many of the men involved in colonial Canadian educational politics are detailed. Key words: de Tocqueville, liberalism, educational networks, monitorial schooling. RESUMEN La historia educativa se escribe comúnmente como la historia de las instituciones, de las prácticas pedagógicas o de los educadores individuales. Este artículo toma, como unidad de análisis, las redes transatlánticas formadas por hombres implicados en las reformas liberales políticas y educativas durante las primeras décadas del siglo XIX. En sintonía con el interés del autor en la educación y la política en la colonia Británico Norteamericana de Lower Canadá, la red se apoya en la persona de Alexis de Tocqueville, que visitó la colonia en 1831. Las relaciones de Tocqueville, más o menos directas, con muchos de los hombres implicados en política educativa del Canadá colonial son detalladas en este trabajo. Descriptores: DeTocqueville, Liberalismo, Redes educativas, Enseñanza monitorizada.

DESCRIPTORS *Ability Grouping; *Cost Effectiveness; *Educational History; *Educational Strategies; Elementary Secondary Education; *Master Teachers; Models IDENTIFIERS *England; *Lancaster (Joseph) ABSTRACT The Lancastrian Monitorial System of Instruction was devised in the late eighteenth century by a teacher in England, Joseph Lancaster, who found it necessary to keep educational costs down in order to continue teaching poor people in the area. This system was organized so that one maser teacher could instruct from 200 to 1,000 pupils at one time. The pupils would be divided into groups of ten taught by a monitor who was responsible for issuing books and slates to pupils. As they learned the lessons appropriate for their group, students were promoted to the next group. The system taught four curricular areas--reading, writing, spelling, and arithmetic. Memorization of learning was the teaching method emphasized. The system, which spread rapidly in the United States, helped to foster the normal school approach later adopted in the United States.

    Chapter three History in the Balance: Copyright and Access to Knowledge Myra Tawfik A. INTRODUCTION Copyright law is generally understood to encompass within its policy em- brace the interests of three constituent groups: users, creators and copy- right industries.1 Each of these groups has found enough support in the history of copyright law to argue that its interests should predominate within the legal framework. As interested parties, their advocacy position is to be expected. The role of Parliament is different however. It is the legis- lature’s responsibility to be dispassionate, to mediate between these often competing interests in order to craft appropriate legislation in the name of the greater good. And by “appropriate,” I mean balanced in setting the ap- propriate parameters between adequate protection and adequate access. The idea of “balance” within copyright law is not a new concept nor is it the creation of “radical extremists’2 or “pro-user zealots.”3 Rather, as the 1 In this paper, I will refer to authors and creators interchangeably.

Volume One School of Vocational, Technology and Arts Education Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Date:……………………………………………………………………… Abstract This thesis tells the story of an historical tradition of radical literacy and literature that is defined as the British radical literary tradition. It takes the meaning of literature at its broadest understanding and identifies the literary and educational relations of what E P Thompson terms ‘the making of the English working class’ through its struggle for literacy and freedom. The study traces the developing dialectic of literary radicalism and the emergent hegemony of capitalism through the dissemination of radical ideas in literature and a groundswell of public literacy. The proposed radical tradition is defined by the oppositional stance of its participants, from the radical intellectual’s critical texts to the striving for literacy and access to literature by working class people.
