His image fo filled her imagination that her time was fpent in contemplation. She dreamed that fhe was prefented to the King of Glory, but that he turned from her.

  • 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.

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.

    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.
