Not surprisingly therefore the French Revolution and the French Revolutionary War, impacting as they did on British domestic politics, had a huge influence on what the British press produced in the years between 1789 and 1802.

Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 a DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY In Trade: Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of History By Emma Goldsmith EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2017 2 Abstract This dissertation provides an account of the richest people in Glasgow and Liverpool at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. It focuses on those in shipping, trade, and shipbuilding, who had global interests and amassed large fortunes. It examines the transition away from family business as managers took over, family successions altered, office spaces changed, and new business trips took hold. At the same time, the family itself underwent a shift away from endogamy as young people, particularly women, rebelled against the old way of arranging marriages. This dissertation addresses questions about gentrification, suburbanization, and the decline of civic leadership. It challenges the notion that businessmen aspired to become aristocrats. It follows family businessmen through the First World War, which upset their notions of efficiency, businesslike behaviour, and free trade, to the painful interwar years. This group, once proud leaders of Liverpool and Glasgow, assimilated into the national upper-middle class. This dissertation is rooted in the family papers left behind by these families, and follows their experiences of these turbulent and eventful years. 3 Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the advising of Deborah Cohen. Her inexhaustible willingness to comment on my writing and improve my ideas has shaped every part of this dissertation, and I owe her many thanks.

Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century A Catalogue D. W. Bebbington Professor of History, University of Stirling The catalogue that follows contains biographical data on the Unitarians who sat in the House of Commons during the nineteenth century. The main list, which includes ninety-seven MPs, is the body of evidence on which the paper on „Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century‟ is based. The paper discusses the difficulty of identifying who should be treated as a Unitarian, the criterion chosen being that the individual appears to have been a practising adherent of the denomination at the time of his service in parliament. A supplementary list of supposed Unitarian MPs, which follows the main list, includes those who have sometimes been identified as Unitarians but who by this criterion were not and some who may have been affiliated to the denomination but who were probably not. The borderline is less sharp than might be wished, and, when further research has been done, a few in each list may need to be transferred to the other. Each entry contains information in roughly the same order. After the name appear the dates of birth and death and the period as an MP. Then a paragraph contains general biographical details drawn from the sources indicated at the end of the entry. A further paragraph discusses religious affiliation and activities. Unattributed quotations with dates are from Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, as presented in Who’s Who of British Members of Parliament.

Resource Pack
Resource Pack Quarry Bank By Jessica Owens Introduction Quarry Bank is the most complete and least altered factory colony of the Industrial Revolution. It is a site of international importance. The Industrial Revolution of the late 18th century transformed Britain and helped create our modern world. Quarry Bank Mill, founded in 1784 by a young textile merchant, Samuel Greg, was one of the first generation of water-powered cotton spinning mills and thus at the forefront of this revolution. Today, the site remains open as a thriving, living museum, and is a fundamentally important site for educational groups looking to study the Industrial Revolution. This book has been designed as a comprehensive resource for students studying the site. As such, the book has been split into the following seven sections - however, we would encourage you to read through all the sources first, as many can be used to support various lines of investigation. Section 1 Life Pre-Industrial Revolution in Styal Section 2 Why was the Mill built here? Section 3 Life for the Apprentices Section 4 Life for the Workers Section 5 Were the Gregs good employers? Section 6 Typicality of the site Section 7 The development of power at the Mill A note on the National Trust The National Trust is a registered charity, independent of the government. It was founded in 1895 to preserve places, for ever, for everyone. For places: We stand for beautiful and historic places. We look after a breathtaking number and variety of them - each distinctive, memorable and special to people for different reasons.

Research Essay-Family Album-Laurendavies
Did late 18th and early 19th century poetry influence the Greg family’s love of nature and landscapes? By Lauren Ann Davies By Lauren Ann Davies Did late 18th and early 19th century poetry influence the Greg family’s love of nature and landscapes? In1789, Hannah Lightbody married Quarry Bank mill owner Samuel Greg. Hannah was a remarkable woman with many interests in politics, literature and the rights of women. In the archives at Quarry Bank there is a beautiful and rather exquisite book entitled the ‘Family Album.’ The album is dated between 1800 and 1815, and contains an array of short poems and images, created by members of the Greg family. The album is inscribed with Hannah’s name, ‘Mrs S. Greg,’ suggesting she was responsible for the assembly of the album, and it also shows how Hannah’s love for literature and the natural world was instilled into family life. Before Hannah met her husband, she was educated at Fleetwood House in London. This particular boarding school was built in Queen Elizabeth’s time and had a reputation for educating young women. Writer David Sekers remarks in his novel A Lady of Cotton that Hannah not only learnt basic practice in sewing and dancing, but the curriculum remarkably ‘included French, some mathematics, history, religion, […] English and foreign literature.’1 After leaving Fleetwood House in 1786, aged twenty, she returned to live with her mother in Liverpool and remained an avid reader. In the following years she wrote a diary where she often expressed her concerns about the roles of women in society, and her philosophical views.
