  • Classification of Candidates
    LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 7.2 CANDIDATES AND THE CLASSIFICATION OF VOTING BEHAVIOUR The key endeavour of much electoral analysis is to determine what kind of voter polled for what kind of candidate. The historian of the pre- reform electorate is fortunate in this respect in being able to know much more about almost every candidate1 than at any time before the contemporary period.2 Nomination of candidates took place at the hustings, immediately prior to the call for a show of hands by the returning officer. Some who may have sought election nonetheless withdrew from the contest, either following a disappointing canvass or following the show of hands. For the purposes of the LED only those who carried on to the next stage of the electoral process, in eighteenth-century parlance those who ‘stood the poll’, are deemed to have been candidates. Of those who stood the poll, some withdrew during the course of polling. Sometimes this would terminate the election, as when John Graham withdrew from the Westminster election of 1802, or when William Mellish withdrew from the Middlesex contest of 1820. In other cases the withdrawal of a candidate allowed others to continue the contest, although there was no mechanism for re-allocating those votes already given to the candidate who threw in the towel. Thus the withdrawal of William Pitt from the London election of 1784, after he had been nominated for a popular but uncertain seat without his consent, did not preclude a continuation of the contest between the remaining candidates. Even the death of John Hankey, the fifth candidate in the London contest of 1807, did not cause the poll to be terminated.

  • Wilford Village and Clifton Bridge
    Walk No 5: Wilford Village and Clifton Bridge 22nd May & 4th June 2020 The full walk is about 11km but can be shortened by returning from Wilford Village via the south side of the Trent. From Musters Road, the route follows Walk No3 (option A) along Eton and Rugby Roads, turning right at the road to Rushcliffe Arena and then down the path to the left just before the Arena car park, then right and next left towards the first pond. In early June, works were underway to build a new viewing platform and a new path around the back of the pond – always something new to see when out walking! Continue along the path, going right and left over the little bridge and then cross Compton Acres road to the second pond – and yes, I had to stop and see how the goslings (seen on Walk No3) were doing………they look very well and getting bigger! After Lyme Park, cross the tram line at Compton Acres tramstop and go straight over the recreation park to Ruddington Lane and turn right. A few houses along Ruddington Lane we come across another wild creature, asleep in a tree…… The father of the household told me that, some time ago, his children and friends had a party in the front garden, to which Tiger was invited. He stayed outside overnight and unfortunately there was heavy rain and Tiger was too wet to be allowed into the house – so he has stayed in the tree ever since. Continue along Ruddington Lane and cross Wilford Lane and onto Main Road, Wilford, and shortly we pass an interesting house – Hunters’ Farm, a Grade II Listed building which dates to 1724.

  • William Wilberforce
    William Wilberforce (1759-1833)1 A biographical essay by Leslie Stephen, edited by Kevin Belmonte William Wilberforce was born in the High Street, Hull, [England] on 24 August 1759, was the only son of Robert Wilberforce by his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Bird of Barton, Oxfordshire. Of three other children [Elizabeth, Sarah and Ann—Sarah] alone reached maturity. The family had long been settled in Yorkshire, and took their name from the township of Wilberfoss, eight miles east of York. A William Wilberforce (the first who adopted that spelling) was engaged in the Baltic trade and was twice mayor of Hull; he also inherited a landed estate from his mother (born Davyes). Robert, the younger of this William's two sons, was partner in the house at Hull. Robert's son, William, a very delicate child, was sent at the age of seven to the Hull grammar school. Isaac Milner, who became usher at the school in 1768, reports that Wilberforce used to be put on a table to read aloud as an example to other boys. In 1768 his father died, and he was afterwards sent to his uncle William, who had a house at Wimbledon. Thence he attended a school at Putney which ‘taught everything and nothing.’ His mother brought him back to Hull upon hearing that his aunt [Hannah], a sister of [merchant and philanthropist] John Thornton, was [converting] him to Methodism, and placed him under the Rev. K[ingsman] Baskett, master of Pocklington grammar school. He forgot his Methodism, became generally popular, and was specially admired for his singing.

A close examination of the charter of liberties accepted by King John in June 1215, however, does not seem to justify the excessive praise and attention that Magna Carta has received from historians, lawyers, politicians, and the general public on both sides of the Atlantic, and even much further afield.

  • Imperial Crises and British Political Ideology in the Age of the American Revolution, 1763-1773
    Imperial Crises and British Political Ideology in the Age of the American Revolution, 1763-1773 By Ben Joseph Gilding Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the MA degree in History University of Ottawa © Ben Joseph Gilding, Ottawa, Canada, 2014. ii ABSTRACT The Seven Years’ War and the resulting Treaty of Paris of 1763 represent a watershed in British domestic and imperial histories. Not only did the war result in Britain acquiring vast new territories and rights in North America and South Asia, but it also saddled Britain with a national debt of over £140,000,000. The challenge for British politicians in the post-1763 era was not only finding a balance between the need to secure territorial gains while searching for a means to reduce costs and raise revenues to pay down the debt, but rather to do so without infringing on the constitutional rights of colonists and chartered companies. The political ramifications of the Treaty of Paris were equally important. Disputes over the terms of the Peace tore apart the Newcastle-Pitt coalition, resulting in the dissolution of the Whig Broadbottom. With the Duke of Newcastle and his allies in opposition alongside William Pitt, the political situation was thrown into turmoil. Although the confused state of politics in the short-term undoubtedly resulted in an opposition which acted, as Namier suggested, on the basis of self-interest rather than on principles, it can also be said to have provided the matrix within which historians can observe the genesis of new policies of domestic and imperial governance.
