BY SID- NEY AND BEATRICE WEBB. EX LIBRIS ST. BASIL'S SCHOLASTICATE LONGMANS, GREEN AND CO., 39 PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON, NEW YORK, CALCUTTA AND BOMBAY. 1913- BE612l^ PREFACE At the beginning of the year 1913 the Story of the King's Highway —an account of how, in England and Wales, the roads have actually been made and managed, from the earliest times down to the present day—may claim a certain topical interest. The advent on the roads of the automobile and the motor omnibus is producing effects, both on public opinion and on adminis- tration, which are curiously parallel to those produced, three centuries ago, by the coming in of the carriage and the waggon. The " New Users " of the roads in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, whose aggressions on the pedestrians and on the road surface were made the subject of persistent complaint in their day, are now themselves resenting the quite analogous aggres- sions of the " New Users " of the roads in the twentieth century. A hundred years ago, as our eighth chapter relates, the country was saved by " Pontifex Maximus Telford " and " Macadam the Magician." We do not find ourselves able to foretell the name of our twentieth-century deliverer, nor even the message that he will bring, or the office that he will hold ! We limit our suggestions or predictions to the last two pages.

  • Extract from the War Diary of the 12Th Lancers (Crown Copyright: National Archives)
    Extract from the war diary of the 12th Lancers (Crown Copyright: National Archives) The transcription below appears as an appendix in the 12th Lancers’ war diary in August 1914. The appendix isn’t dated nor is there any indication of who wrote it. The appendix describes the Regiment’s successful attack on German cavalry near the village of Moy de L’Aisne, France on 28 August 1914. At 3.a.m., on the morning of the 28th August, 1914, the 12th Royal Lancers was hurriedly turned out from its bivouac at Bernot, and rendezvoused on some high ground to the S.W. of St. Quentin with the rest of the 5th Cavalry Brigade, where it halted for about half an hour, allowing time to draw its rations which had been hurriedly sent up in lorries by the zealous officer in charge. Moving off again towards St.Quentin, it halted under cover, and two officers patrols were despatched to Neuville and Mesnil St Laurent. These patrols, on their return, reported that there was no sign of the enemy, and that they had been unable to obtain any news of them from the inhabitants. About 10.30 a.m., orders were received from Brigade Headquarters that the Regiment was to go into Brigade Reserve for the day at Moy on the Oise. This was welcome news, as it was an exceedingly hot day, and men and horses would all be better for a good rest. The Regiment arrived at Moy about noon, where, after watering, the horses were off-saddled and fed in the chateau grounds of the village.

  • Mundella Papers Scope
    University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: MS 6 - 9, MS 22 Title: Mundella Papers Scope: The correspondence and other papers of Anthony John Mundella, Liberal M.P. for Sheffield, including other related correspondence, 1861 to 1932. Dates: 1861-1932 (also Leader Family correspondence 1848-1890) Level: Fonds Extent: 23 boxes Name of creator: Anthony John Mundella Administrative / biographical history: The content of the papers is mainly political, and consists largely of the correspondence of Mundella, a prominent Liberal M.P. of the later 19th century who attained Cabinet rank. Also included in the collection are letters, not involving Mundella, of the family of Robert Leader, acquired by Mundella’s daughter Maria Theresa who intended to write a biography of her father, and transcriptions by Maria Theresa of correspondence between Mundella and Robert Leader, John Daniel Leader and another Sheffield Liberal M.P., Henry Joseph Wilson. The collection does not include any of the business archives of Hine and Mundella. Anthony John Mundella (1825-1897) was born in Leicester of an Italian father and an English mother. After education at a National School he entered the hosiery trade, ultimately becoming a partner in the firm of Hine and Mundella of Nottingham. He became active in the political life of Nottingham, and after giving a series of public lectures in Sheffield was invited to contest the seat in the General Election of 1868. Mundella was Liberal M.P. for Sheffield from 1868 to 1885, and for the Brightside division of the Borough from November 1885 to his death in 1897.

  • The Congleton Accounts: Further Evidence of Elizabethan and Jacobean Drama in Cheshire
    ALAN C . COMAN The Congleton accounts: further evidence of Elizabethan and Jacobean drama in Cheshire Last summer, while conducting my research into the influence on Elizabethan and Jacobean drama of schoolmasters and household tutors in the northwest of England - viz, Cheshire, Lancashire, Shropshire (Salop) and Westmorland (Cumbria) - I came across some evidence of dramatic activities in Congleton that I believe are as yet undocumented but are significant in several respects . Since it was a chance discovery right at the end of my stay, what is presented here is only a cursory examination of the records, not a thorough and complete study . In the Cheshire County Record Office, I had occasion to consult Robert Head's Congleton Past and Present, published in 1887 and republished presumably as a centenary tribute in 1987, and History of Congleton, edited by W .B. Stephens and published in 1970 to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the town's royal charter.' Although my immediate concern was with the history of Congleton Grammar School and any possible dramatic activity connected with it, I was struck by references to the town's notorious week-long cockfights and bearbaits, and the even more intriguing assertions that the cockpit was usually in the school and that the schoolmaster was the controller and director of the pastime, reclaiming all runaway cocks as his own rightful perquisites . Head's book gave an entry from the borough's accounts : `1601. Payd John Wagge for dressyige the schoolhouse at the great cock fyghte . ..0.0.4d'. Because the aforementioned sports and pastimes were said to have drawn all the local gentry and nobility to the schoolhouse, the schoolmaster might also have undertaken some dramatic activities ; the town could have attracted touring companies at such times .

  • Welsh Disestablishment: 'A Blessing in Disguise'
    Welsh disestablishment: ‘A blessing in disguise’. David W. Jones The history of the protracted campaign to achieve Welsh disestablishment was to be characterised by a litany of broken pledges and frustrated attempts. It was also an exemplar of the ‘democratic deficit’ which has haunted Welsh politics. As Sir Henry Lewis1 declared in 1914: ‘The demand for disestablishment is a symptom of the times. It is the democracy that asks for it, not the Nonconformists. The demand is national, not denominational’.2 The Welsh Church Act in 1914 represented the outcome of the final, desperate scramble to cross the legislative line, oozing political compromise and equivocation in its wake. Even then, it would not have taken place without the fortuitous occurrence of constitutional change created by the Parliament Act 1911. This removed the obstacle of veto by the House of Lords, but still allowed for statutory delay. Lord Rosebery, the prime minister, had warned a Liberal meeting in Cardiff in 1895 that the Welsh demand for disestablishment faced a harsh democratic reality, in that: ‘it is hard for the representatives of the other 37 millions of population which are comprised in the United Kingdom to give first and the foremost place to a measure which affects only a million and a half’.3 But in case his audience were insufficiently disheartened by his homily, he added that there was: ‘another and more permanent barrier which opposes itself to your wishes in respect to Welsh Disestablishment’, being the intransigence of the House of Lords.4 The legislative delay which the Lords could invoke meant that the Welsh Church Bill was introduced to parliament on 23 April 1912, but it was not to be enacted until 18 September 1914.
