  • Autobiography and Anecdotes by William Taswell, D.D., Sometime
    AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND ANECDOTES BY WILLIAM TASWELL, D.D., SOMETIME RECTOR OF NEWINGTON, SDRREY, RECTOR OF BERMONDSEY, AND PREVIOUSLY STUDENT OF CHRIST CHUKCH, OXFORD. A.D. 1651—1682. EDITED BY GEORGE PERCY ELLIOTT, ESQ. BARRISTER AT-LAW. PRINTED FOR THE CAMDEN SOCIETY. M.DCCC..LII. INTRODUCTION. THIS autobiography was originally written in Latin, but has been preserved only in the present translation, which was made by the Author's grandson, the Rev. Henry Taswell, Vicar of Marden, in Herefordshire. The translation has on a fly-leaf the following description:— " A few anecdotes concerning William Taswell, D.D., Rector of Newington and St Mary Bermondsey, in Surrey, and his Family. Translated Sept. 1761, after a very poor manner, by H. T., his grandson. " It is by no means an exact literal translation, but it is a just one as to facts recorded." The MS. translation is now in the possession of the Editor, together with the Diary of Dr. Taswell's father-in-law, Archdeacon Lake, which was printed in the former volume of the Camden Miscellany. The GENEALOGY of a FAMILY in the WEST, and COMMENTARIES upon his own LIFE. By W. T., D.D. Translated from the Latin (a thousand faults committed) by H. T. NOTWITHSTANDING I am sensible that for these seven years past and upwards my attention has been for the most part fixed towards husbandry, or in employment of an inferior nature, I once more put pen to paper; not because I am sensible of the accuracy there will be in my performance—the utmost extent of my abilities giving me little room to hope for this—but only to revive again, if possible, a knowledge of myself and letters, which time and my avocations have somewhat effaced.

    RANDOM NORTHAMPTONSHIRE' REMINISCENCES THE Mulsos held the manor of Finedon from 'the fifteenth century till the reign of Charles II, when it descended to the two daughters of TaIifield Mulso as co-heiresses. They married two brothers, Gilbert and John Dolben, sons of the Archbishop of York, who was himself the son of the Rev. William Dolben, Rector of Stanwick. John sold his moiety of the manor to Gilbert, who was created a baronet in 1704. The baronetcy descended from father to son for 'four generations. 1 My great-grandmother was the eldest daughter of the last baronet and married the Rev. Samuel Woodfield Paul in 1806. The Vicar of Finedon, Sir Charles Cave, was an absentee, so my great-grandfather bought the family living and he and his bride were able to settle down at once in the beautiful old Vicarage-just across the lawn from the Hall-and there , they and my grandparents after them lived till 1911, when my grandfather, the Rev. George WO'odfield Paul, who was Vicar of Finedon for sixty-three years, died at the age of ninety-one. My father, l;Ierbert Woodfield Paul, had originally been the heir to the Hall; but, after he had become a Liberal at Oxford undet the influence of Asquith, Mrs. Mackworth-Dolben1 disinherited him as a matter of principle. This never affected their relations and he always remained devoted to her-as I was when I was a little boy. I was christened at Finedon by my grandfather in the church in which he had christened my father and had himself been christened by his own; and I always looked upon Finedon as my home.

Ingram From c.1660 to c1760 England is often characterized as a society undergoing an accelerating process of secularization, and by extension, modernization. This narrative of the period ignores the way many in England understood and explained the world around them; through the non-secular and providential language of divine intervention. This thesis argues that during this one hundred year period England underwent no process of secularization, and instead remained consistent in its commitment to the language of divine intervention. This thesis examines the way English clergymen used the language of divine intervention publicly, in order to illuminate the utility and substance of the language of divine intervention for a highly visible and influential segment of English society.

Champion Department of History Royal Holloway College University of London. Samuel Johnson (1649-1703), educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, ‘after regular Study’ took Holy Orders and was made rector of the parish of Corringham in Essex in 1670 by the generosity of his patron Mr Bidolph. The latter, ‘observing Mr Johnson’s inclination to the study of politicks, advis’d him to read Bracton and Fortescue de Laudibus Legum Anglia , &c. that he might be aquainted with the old English Constitution’. Bidolph far from encouraging Johnson to mix politics and religion in the pulpit insisted that he should by no means ‘make Politicks the subject of his Sermons; because he had taken notice that many Clergymen had given their hearers bad impressions, and fill’d their heads with false notions of those things which they had a very imperfect knowledge of themselves’. Although Johnson took his patron’s advice and ‘never meddled with Politicks in the Pulpit’, he used his knowledge of the ‘English Constitution’ to great effect in his printed writings ‘for no man wrote with more Boldness and Zeal for the legal Polity of his Country’. 2 He became one of the central publicists for the radical Whig cause of the 1690s. 3 His reputation as a patriot and defender of English liberty against ‘Popery and Slavery’ brought him to the position of domestic chaplain to Lord William Russell (d.

  • “Casting a Dim Religious Light”: the Stained and Painted Glass of York Minster, C.1450-1802
    “Casting a dim religious light”: the stained and painted glass of York Minster, c.1450-1802 Volume One (two volumes) Louise Ann Hampson MA University of York History of Art PhD December 2016 Abstract This thesis investigates the glass history of the stained and painted glass in the windows of York Minster c.1450-1802. It sets the largely post-Reformation story of the windows into the broader historical context of York and cathedrals more widely, and of the survival of the craft of glass-painting in the post-Reformation period. It uses the archives and manuscripts of the Dean and Chapter of York, in conjunction with antiquarian studies and the physical evidence of the extant glass, to explore how and why so much medieval glass has survived in York and to investigate the origins of York’s claim to be a ‘treasure-house’ of medieval stained glass. Three key themes are explored in the course of this work. First, a reassessment of the craft practice and skills base of glaziers and glass-painters and the continuity of workshops in the period studied, with particular emphasis on the sixteenth and seventeenth-centuries. Second, the question of patronage and how this was manifest, both in terms of the craftsmen and their business models and with regard to the care of the existing glass. A broader definition of patronage emerges, one which goes beyond conventional ideas of artist and patron into the relationships between the Deans, their Chapters and the craftsmen. Third, a consideration of how the glass was thought of, valued and written about.

These three cities on the Indian subcontinent were administered by the English East India Company and as such have often seemed abberant or unique to scholars of eighteenth-century empire and law. This dissertation argues that these Indian cities fit squarely within an imperial legal and governmental framework common to the wider British world.

J. VALPy, RED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. INTRODUCTION. The author happened, in the presence of a friend, to hint his intention of writing this life, when the latter instantly took the alarm, and exclaimed, " Why, you surely are not going to whitewash Judge Jeffreys ?" The author said, he certainly could not think of justifying that lawyer upon every occasion, whose character was, upon the whole, none of the best ; but that he saw no reason why even such a man as Jeffreys might not have had some good qualities, as well as others. Now, most will agree that this is a fair prin ciple, not at all inapplicable to human nature ; and, upon investigating the subject, some very redeeming traits soon showed themselves, bright ening up with admirable lustre the conduct of a man who has been denounced by Protestant IV INTRODUCTION. writers, people of his own creed, as the most wicked of mortals. Were all the histories un impeachable which profess to speak of him, and the anathemas against him as prompt in their fulfilment as in their descent from the pens of ripe and ready writers, surely he might beg from the Catholics a place in their purgatory, and count it indeed a felicitous atonement for his misdeeds.
