The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer. -

PREFACE. Of the numerous biographers of the poet Burns, few have dilated on his lineage. Some doubtless felt that his position might not be elevated by any pedigree, however famous. Others may have been content to hold that himself being in lowly circumstances, any inquiry as to his progenitors would be useless and unprofitable. By his biographer Dr Currie he is described as " in reality a peasant." What in respect of descent Burns really was these Memoirs will show. Bemotely sprung from a landed stock, his im- mediate ancestors were yeomen, at first opvdent, latterly the reverse. The family had produced another poet, the author of "Thrummy Cap;" but decided indications of intellectual activity did not appear in the house till subsequent to the marriage of the poet's paternal grandfather. The wife of this person was of the family of Keith of Craig, a branch of the house of Keith-Marischal. -
The Canterbury Association
The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry. -

Nicholas Dixon November 2018 ii Thesis Summary The Activity and Influence of the Established Church in England, c. 1800-1837 Nicholas Andrew Dixon Pembroke College, Cambridge This thesis examines the various ways in which the Church of England engaged with English politics and society from c. 1800 to 1837. Assessments of the early nineteenth-century Church of England remain coloured by a critique originating in radical anti-clerical polemics of the period and reinforced by the writings of the Tractarians and Élie Halévy. It is often assumed that, in consequence of social and political change, the influence of a complacent and reactionary church was irreparably eroded by 1830. -

N> i 1 MDCCCXCVir. r , PREFACE. Among the royal burghs in Scotland, Aberdeen holds a prominent position for the completeness of its municipal history, and in no respect is this more clearly shown than by glancing down the long list of those who have held the chief civic position in the community. In making a retrospect of the municipal life of the burgh, we are indebted to the almost unbroken series of local records, both civil and ecclesiastical, for the material used for placing in relief the history of those who, in times gone past, have guided the counsels of the ancient burgh. The aim of the following sketches is to gather up the frag- ments of history relating to the various occupants of the civic chair, and to group round them some of the incidents of their municipal career, with the possibility, it may be, of interesting not a few in the fact that, as Baillie Skene says, " this city hath not been a barren mother or nurse in our Israel in bringing forth and breeding up many eminent men and brave spirits, whereof there may be set down a large catalogue." The list of those who have filled the chair, so far as recovered, embraces the names of one hundred and forty-two individuals, who might fitly find a place in such a catalogue as Baillie Skene proposed. -

The Episcopal Congregation of Charlotte Chapel, Edinburgh 1794-1818 Eleanor M. Harris Department of History and Politics School of Arts and Humanities University of Stirling A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervised by Professor David W. Bebbington 31 October 2013 I, Eleanor M. Harris, declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that the work which it embodies is my work and has not been included in another thesis. i Acknowledgements I asked Professor David Bebbington for advice on a local history project, and he sug- gested it might form the subject of a PhD. His methodical, wise, precise and thoughtful supervision was exactly what I required. It is thanks to him that I have produced a piece of academic work rather than a flight of fancy, and in this and in all my future work I shall owe him a huge debt of gratitude. It has been a great privilege to be supervised by him. The innumerable others to whom I owe thanks would form a prosopographical study in themselves. I have been supported by historians at Stirling, Edinburgh and elsewhere, and staff at the National Library of Scotland and National Registers of Scotland. I have been given opportunities to speak at conferences such as the Ecclesiastical History Soci- ety and Modern British History Network, and been asked thought-provoking questions by popular audiences in Edinburgh. Through the internet and social media I have dis- covered several family historians who provided information cited in the thesis, as well as a global network of lively minds helping with tasks such as ‘crowd-sourcing’ the word Caledonisation. -
