    M.Taylor-West India Interest and Colonial Slavery in Parliament

    1 The West India Interest and Colonial Slavery in Parliament, 1823-33 Michael Taylor Parliament, Politics, and People, 3 November Abstract: This paper considers the parliamentary fortunes of the British pro-slavery lobby – the West India Interest – between the advent of the anti-slavery campaign in early 1823 and the passage of the Slavery Abolition Act in August 1833. First, it explains the parliamentary strength of the West India Interest under the Tory ministries of the 1820s. Second, it examines the uncertainty of the first few years after Catholic Emancipation and under Earl Grey’s Whigs. Finally, it narrates the rapid and terminal decline of the parliamentary Interest as the result of Reform and the ultimate passage of the Slavery Abolition Act. In 1823, there were no political parties in Great Britain, at least not in the modern sense. Robert Jenkinson, the Earl of Liverpool, might have been the prime minister in a ‘Tory’ government, but there was no Tory Party. Indeed, Liverpool demanded only ‘a generally favourable disposition’ from his affiliated MPs and had even declared that he would ‘never attempt to interfere with the individual member’s right to vote as he may think consistent with his duty upon any particular question’. On the opposite benches were the Whigs, led by Charles, the Earl Grey, but there was no Whig Party either. Rather, the ‘Tories’ and the ‘Whigs’ were loose coalitions of politicians who shared generally similar attitudes. Put crudely, the Tories were the conservative friends of the Crown and the Church of England who glorified the memory of Pitt the Younger; the Whigs were the friends of trade, finance, and nonconformist religion, cautious advocates of parliamentary reform, and the political descendants of Pitt’s great rival, Charles James Fox.

    An Old Family; Or, the Setons of Scotland and America

    [U AN OLD FAMILY OR The Setons of Scotland and America BY MONSIGNOR SETON (MEMBER OF THE NEW YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY) NEW YORK BRENTANOS 1899 Copyright, 1899, by ROBERT SETON, D. D. TO A DEAR AND HONORED KINSMAN Sir BRUCE-MAXWELL SETON of Abercorn, Baronet THIS RECORD OF SCOTTISH ANCESTORS AND AMERICAN COUSINS IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR Preface. The glories of our blood and state Are shadows, not substantial things. —Shirley. Gibbon says in his Autobiography: "A lively desire of knowing and recording our ancestors so generally prevails that it must depend on the influence of some common principle in the minds of men"; and I am strongly persuaded that a long line of distinguished and patriotic forefathers usually engenders a poiseful self-respect which is neither pride nor arrogance, nor a bit of medievalism, nor a superstition of dead ages. It is founded on the words of Scripture : Take care of a good name ; for this shall continue with thee more than a thousand treasures precious and great (Ecclesiasticus xli. 15). There is no civilized people, whether living under republi- can or monarchical institutions, but has some kind of aristoc- racy. It may take the form of birth, ot intellect, or of wealth; but it is there. Of these manifestations of inequality among men, the noblest is that of Mind, the most romantic that of Blood, the meanest that of Money. Therefore, while a man may have a decent regard for his lineage, he should avoid what- ever implies a contempt for others not so well born.

    The Charles Harrison Collection of 'Concorde' Covers, Cards And

    First Session Lots 501–951 Monday May 23rd at 2 pm The Charles Harrison Collection of ‘Concorde’ Covers, Cards and Ephemera Charles Harrison (1924–2008) Most people will have their own memories of Concorde but for Charles Harrison, living only a few miles from R.A.F. Fairford, it will be the moment the British assembled Concorde prototype 002 touched down at 2.46pm on 9 April, 1969. Charles watched Concorde fly along the same flight path many times and never tired of hearing the roar of the engines and seeing the aircraft turning over Highworth, his home town, on its approach into the Fairford airfield. At the age of 15 Charles joined the Royal Air Force (1939) as an engineer apprentice and during the Second World War served in North Africa, Malta, Sicily and Italy as ground crew. Not one to miss an opportunity, Charles began to collect autographs from movie stars and entertainers on their visits to the troops. After the war he was stationed in Rhodesia and on leaving the RAF joined Vickers Armstrong at South Marston as a flight test inspector. Around the same time some of Concorde’s future pilots were Vickers Armstrong’s test pilots. In the 1950s Charles was involved with the Supermarine Swift, a single seat jet fighter, which could reach supersonic speed in a slight dive and it is not surprising that this is where Charles interest in supersonic flight and Concorde began. From Concorde’s early days at the Fairford Flight Test Centre to its commercial retirement, Charles arranged through friends and flight contacts for covers to be carried on many of Concorde’s flights including the development flights.
