What is meant by the term “benign neglect”? i. How does this fit with the idea of “virtual representation”? 8. Given the history of the colonies’ founding and British “benign neglect” until the period just before the Revolution, was the American Revolution inevitable?

Their ardor alternated between a vague ideal and the common yearning of womanhood; so that the one was disapproved as extravagance, and the other condemned as a lapse. – George Eliot, Middlemarch, 1872 Table of Contents Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................... 2 Abbreviations ............................................................................................................................ 3 Introduction .............................................................................................................................. 4 The End of Edwardian England: Pankhurst’s Political Development ................................. 12 After the War: Pankhurst’s Collisions with Communism and the State .............................. 21 Appealing Sedition: Performativity of Communism and Suffrage ....................................... 33 Prison and Release: Attempted Constructions of Martyrology

    Henry Fox’s Drafts of Lord Hardwicke’s Speech in the Lords’ Debate on the Bill on Clandestine Marriages, 6 June 1753: A Striving for Accuracy Clyve Jones Before Hansard began publication in the early nineteenth century, the first regular and sustained reports of debates in Parliament were inaugurated in 1711 by Abel Boyer in his monthly Political State of Great Britain. In the middle of the eighteenth century the reporting of debates was forbidden by resolutions of both Houses, and such printed debates that have survived were usually written by reporters who had not heard them. Later on after 1774, when the prohibition of strangers was relaxed, there was an unprecedented printing of debates and various series of compilations were published. Before Boyer, however, the only records of debates in either the Commons or the Lords were personal ones taken by members or visitors to Parliament.1 And even after the first printing of debates by Boyer, many people, particularly those in the political elite, continued to obtain their Parliamentary information from personal accounts. These took various forms: notes taken in the Houses (sometimes written up afterwards into a more polished account, often in the form of a journal or diary, in which speeches appear to be written out in full),2 letters or parts of letters, separates (i.e., single or multiple sheets, often differing little from notes taken in the Parliament, and often concentrating on specific issues), and speeches (sometimes published, or circulated in manuscript). Often these reports consisted of lists of speakers followed by a summary of the arguments used, and occasionally they might include, in part, verbatim accounts of debates (or, at least, what look like verbatim accounts of speeches); even rarer were reports which were (or looked like) full verbatim accounts of a debate.

  • Imperial Ghosts
    Colonial ideas, modern warfare: how British perceptions affected their campaign against the Ottomans, 1914-1916 by Cameron Winter A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Cameron Winter, April, 2017 ABSTRACT COLONIAL IDEAS, MODERN WARFARE: HOW BRITISH PERCEPTIONS AFFECTED THEIR CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE OTTOMANS, 1914-1916 Cameron Winter Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Professor R Worringer This thesis is an investigation of British campaign against the Ottoman Sultanate during the first two years of WWI. Despite Britain’s purported superiority in all things military and technological, the Ottomans dealt the British several stinging reverses at the Dardanelles and in Mesopotamia, culminating in the capture of a British division at Kut. It is the argument of this thesis that these failures on the part of the British were the direct result of Britain’s colonialist attitudes towards Muslims, and that a reading of both the secondary literature and available primary materials demonstrates this thoroughly. By examining memoirs, diaries, cabinet documents and minutes of War Council meetings, it becomes clear that Lord Kitchener, Winston Churchill, Austen Chamberlain, and other British leaders suffered from a fundamental misunderstanding about the nature of Islam and of the Ottoman Army, and that this misunderstanding underwrote all of their subsequent failures over the 1914-1916 period. iii Table of Contents Introduction: One Debacle

  • Parliamentary Debate on the Stamp
    MAKING THE REVOLUTION: AMERICA, 1763-1791 PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION Parliament Debates New York Public Library the Stamp Act, February 1765 * In early 1765 Parliament was struggling to meet the cost of defending its empire in North Americavastly expanded after the French and Indian War. The task required a standing army (fulltime soldiers maintained during peacetime) since the new territories lacked enough Englishmen to constitute local defense forces. Regular British troops were needed to keep the peace between the French and Indians and to deal with smuggling, land grabbing, and crime. Prime Minister George Grenville stated the matter in its simplest terms: “The money for these expenses must be raised somewhere.” To the British it was perfectly logical to raise the money in the colonies; they, after all, were the chief beneficiaries of Britain’s military exertions. Parliament settled on a simple way to obtain the needed funds, an easy-to-collect tax on documents, i.e., the paper on which they would be printed. These selections from the debate on the Stamp Act in the House of Commons illuminate how British politicians viewed the issue of colonial taxationespecially the question of taxation without representation. Written in the clipped, abbreviated style of notes taken in haste, they record remarks made on February 6, 1765, eight days before Grenville formally presented the Stamp Act to the House of George Grenville, Prime Minister of Great Commons for a vote.

  • British Security Policy in Ireland, 1920-1921: a Desperate Attempt by the Crown to Maintain Anglo-Irish Unity by Force
    British Security Policy in Ireland, 1920-1921: A Desperate Attempt by the Crown to Maintain Anglo-Irish Unity by Force ‘What we are trying to do is to stop the campaign of assassination and arson, initiated and carried on by Sinn Fein, with as little disturbance as possible to people who are and who wish to be law abiding.’ General Sir Nevil Macready ‘outlining the British policy in Ireland’ to American newspaper correspondent, Carl W. Ackerman, on 2 April 1921.1 In the aftermath of victory in the Great War (1914-1918) and the conclusion to the peacemaking process at Versailles in 1919, the British Empire found itself in a situation of ‘imperial overstretch’, as indicated by the ever-increasing demands for Crown forces to represent and maintain British interests in defeated Germany, the Baltic and Black Seas regions, the Middle East, India and elsewhere around the world. The strongest and most persistent demand in this regard came from Ireland – officially an integral part of the United Kingdom itself since the Act of Union came into effect from 1 January 1801 – where the forces of militant Irish nationalism were proving difficult, if not impossible to control. Initially, Britain’s response was to allow the civil authorities in Ireland, based at Dublin Castle and heavily reliant on the enforcement powers of the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC), to deal with this situation. In 1920, however, with a demoralised administration in Ireland perceived to be lacking resolution in the increasingly violent struggle against the nationalists, London

  • UNIT IV OTHER HUMANITARIAN MOVEMENTS Problems During Industrial Revolution Were Health and Sanitation. This Resulted in Many
    UNIT IV OTHER HUMANITARIAN MOVEMENTS Problems during Industrial revolution were health and sanitation. This resulted in many kinds of diseases. To prevent the spread of small pox Lady Mary Wortley Montagu introduced inoculation from Turkey and set up a hospital in London. Jenner discovered vaccination. Captain Coram set up the Foundling Hospital in 1745 to prevent infant mortality among the poor. General Oglethorpe in 1729, induced the Parliament to enquire about the prisons in Fleet street and Marshalsea where the jailors torture debtors for money. John Howard and Elizabeth Fry improved the level of prisoners. General Oglethorpe became the founder and first Governor of Georgia in America. Throughout the 18th century, the English legal system remained in a chaotic state. Horse stealing, coining and stealing were treated like capital crimes. In 1829, Robert Peel introduced police system throughout the country. Anti-slavery propaganda was started by William Wilberforce. 50,000 slaves were transported a year. Slave trade was connected with Textile industry of Lancashire. African ships exchanged goods for Negroes. Dr. Johnson objected slave-trade with Horace Walpole. Slaved trade was finally abolished in 1807. All the slaves were set free in 1833. The rapid growth of population resulted in low wages and high prices. To remedy this, the Speenhamland Act was passed in 1795. This act had disastrous consequences. In 1833, a Commission of Enquiry was made to study poor laws and report to the Parliament. On basis of the report, Poor Law Amendment Act was passed in 1834. Board of Guardians was appointed under Commissioners to administer several districts.

  • James Wilson on the Edge of Empire
    James Wilson: Anxious Founder Chapter Three — Reading 1768: On the Edge of Empire In many ways, this chapter is a sequel to the one that comes before it in the dissertation. James Wilson was a young Scottish immigrant looking to make a name for himself and make his fortune. After spending his first academic year in America working as a tutor at the College of Philadelphia (now the University of Pennsylvania), Wilson studied law for a little over a year under the supervision of prominent attorney John Dickinson. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the differences between Wilson and Dickinson on the role of British North America in the British Empire. The initial draft of this chapter spent a good deal of time exploring the argument of American writers opposed to an all-powerful British Parliament, before examining the differences between Wilson and Dickinson. After receiving feedback from several members of my dissertation committee, this draft begins to refocus, more explicitly, on the writings of the two men. What I need from your reading and participation in our meeting is to provide feedback on whether I’ve cut too much of my examination of other writers (is there enough to put what Wilson and Dickinson said in context) OR do I need to expand my analysis of just the two authors? When James Wilson’s Considerations on the Nature and Extent of the Legislative Authority of the British Parliament is examined as a component of a body of literature dealing with the role of British North America and its place within the British Empire, it is invariably discussed as relating to the year in which it was published¾1774.
