Abstract:
Abstract Between 1833 and 1841 the Children’s Friend Society, a London-based philanthropic organization, sent some eight hundred children from England to the Cape, where they were apprenticed to local settlers. This article focuses on two of them: Alfred Brooks, aged thirteen or fourteen, and twelve-year-old Elizabeth Foulger. Both of these children appear in archival traces because they transgressed and were subsequently disciplined by their masters. The article argues that a series of binaries shaped these young migrants’ lives: between infant and adult, black and white, and colonizer and colonized. The in-between status of the CFS apprentices had the potential to disrupt increasingly rigid hierarchies at the colonial Cape, during a time of significant social and political turmoil. The context of slave emancipation, as well as concerns over juvenile delinquency in London, affected these children’s experiences. Concerns over their categorization illustrate the complicated range of positions that migrant workers in the British empire could hold beyond simply ‘free’ and ‘unfree’. Thinking through the position of these young white emigrant workers in the post-emancipation Cape sheds light on the fragility of classed, gendered, racialized, adult and free identities in that context.

Abstract:
While entrepreneurs are increasingly recognized as important participants in the medieval economy, their philanthropic activities have received less attention than those of the gentry and nobility. This article identifies the contribution that the study of medieval entrepreneurs can make to broader business history debates surrounding the identity of philanthropists and their beneficiaries, the types of causes they supported, and their impact on wider society. Philanthropic entrepreneurs used the profits of commerce to provide infrastructure, health care, and education to their local communities. Their patterns of philanthropy differed from those of gentry, lawyers, and administrators. Support for municipal infrastructure emerges as a distinctive feature of entrepreneurial philanthropy, reflecting a belief in the importance of trade networks and civic reputation.

Abstract:
Resumo Nesse estudo, objetivou-se abordar as principais conexões ligadas aos mecanismos políticos e econômicos da Inglaterra do final do século XVIII, que haviam deixado de reestruturar em razão da intempestiva industrialização. Tais pressupostos levariam às principais consequências nos primeiros trinta anos do século XIX. Essas pressões eram tais que principalmente a sociedade londrina teve que se modernizar. Nos situamos neste período onde a popularização da ciência e as conexões da difusão dela no cotidiano do século XIX ocorreu em função da evolução social, política e científica. Basicamente, a ciência utilitarista e a filantropia científica, que sugeriam priorizar pontos cruciais, no contexto. A proposta de Michael Faraday (1791-1867) de divulgação da ciência, fundamentavam-se na argumentação contendo naturalmente pressupostos metafísicos, o próprio método experimental complexo, todavia, elucidativo e adequado aos aspectos inerentes ao estudo da matéria e suas forças. Assim como, a proposta de divulgação científica fundamentava-se em ensinar e tornar público o conhecimento científico. Os assuntos originados a partir das pesquisas formais, de Michael Faraday, ou melhor, das investigações vivenciadas no interior do laboratório, eram divulgadas em lições públicas com uma linguagem das alegorias, dos estudos direcionados ao sucesso da ciência e da tecnologia, tornando acessível o experimento ao entendimento do leigo, para demonstrar e recriar um ambiente envolvente, agradável o bastante, diferentemente do rigor “científico” dos laboratórios. Reproduzir experimentos, divulgá-los aos jovens entre 15 – 20 anos, reconstruir experimentos, com profundidade teórica para estimular, principalmente, para despertar nos jovens a vontade de aprender a “treinar a mente”, como um processo também educativo. Palavras-chave: Divulgação da Ciência, Educação para Jovens, Ciência utilitarista e a Filantropia científica. Abstract This study aimed the main connections linked to the political and Economic mechanisms of late eighteenth-century England had failed to restructure due to untimely industrialization. Such assumptions would lead to major consequences in the first thirty years of the nineteenth century. These pressures were such that London society in particular had to modernize. We are situated in this period where the popularization of science and connections of its diffusion in the daily life of the nineteenth century occurred due to social, political and scientific developments. Basically, utilitarian science and scientific philanthropy, which suggested prioritizing crucial point, in the context. Michael Faraday's (1791-1867) proposal for the dissemination of science was based on argumentation naturally containing metaphysical assumptions, complex experimental method itself, however, elucidative and adequate to the aspects inherent to the study of matter and its forces. The proposal of scientific dissemination was based on teaching and making scientific knowledge public. The subjects originated from Michael Faraday's formal research, or rather, from the investigations experienced inside the laboratory, were disseminated in public lessons with a language of allegories, of studies aimed at the success of science and technology, making the experiment accessible to the understanding of the layman, to demonstrate and recreate an engaging environment, pleasant enough, unlike the "scientific" rigor of the laboratories. Reproduce experiments, disseminate them to young people between 15 - 20 years, reconstructing experiences, with theoretical deepening to stimulate, mainly, to awaken in young people the will to learn to "train the mind", a process also educational. Keywords: Science Outreach, Youth Education, Utilitarian Science and Scientific Philanthropy.

Abstract:
This article interrogates the complicated understanding of sectarianism in institutional cultures in late-nineteenth-century England through an examination of the practice of religion in the daily life of hospital wards in voluntary hospitals. Voluntary hospitals prided themselves on their identity as philanthropic institutions free from sectarian practices. The public accusation of sectarianism against University College Hospital triggered a series of responses that suggests that hospital practices reflected and reinforced an acceptable degree of ‘tolerable intolerance’. The debates this incident prompted help us to interrogate the meaning of sectarianism in late nineteenth-century England. How was sectarianism understood? Why was it so important for voluntary institutions to appear free from sectarian influences? How did the responses to claims of sectarian attitudes influence the actions of the male governors, administrators and medical staff of voluntary hospitals? The contradictory meanings of sectarianism are examined in three interrelated themes: the patient, daily life on the wards and hospital funding. The broader debates that arose from the threat of ‘sectarianism in hospital’ uncovers the extent to which religious practices were ingrained in hospital spaces throughout England and remained so long afterwards. Despite the increasing medicalisation and secularisation of hospital spaces, religious practices and symbols were embedded in the daily life of voluntary hospitals.

Abstract:
Looking back over the past half century of research into the music of early Tudor England, it is clear that interest has been focussed principally upon sites of wealth, privilege and power. Dominating the arena are courts and household chapels, cathedrals and colleges, and the men and women who headed them. Perhaps that focus has been inevitable, since by their very nature wealthy and powerful institutions have the means to leave behind them rich deposits of evidence: not only high-art music, itself often notated in fine books, but also detailed records of expenditure, of the contractual duties carried out by or expected of musicians, and of valuable assets such as books and musical instruments. Moreover, where magnificence is on show there will often be eyewitness accounts to report on what has been seen and heard. All of those forms of evidence survive in quantity from early Tudor England, and it is hard not to be drawn to them.

Abstract:
This article discusses the Church of England's initiative in providing education for the children of the poor during the long eighteenth century with particular reference to London. Briefly it considers the religious, economic and social context and motives for this largely lay-led and lay-supported initiative in the 1690s and early 1700s to establish catechetical day elementary schools, which also taught reading and writing, for poor boys and girls. It focuses particularly on the extensive evidence available from schools in the growing suburbs of Westminster and Holborn and discusses the personnel involved with charity schools, as trustees, benefactors and teachers; how funds were raised and schools managed; and how children were managed, including the arrangement and oversight of apprenticeships. It demonstrates that the schools continued to be well supported, including financially, throughout the changing, economic, social, religious and political circumstances of the century, until most of them became associated with the National Society for the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church, founded in 1811.

Abstract:
Paternalism is a construct that continues to be used by historians of eighteenth-century English society. As an explanatory or exploratory term it does resonate with some of the inflections in the sources, particularly those dealing with the mediation of class relations by the prototypical country gentleman justice of the peace, that denizen of countless novels, and the subject of much historical research over the last thirty years. Paternalism, in the sense of a putative concern for the welfare of the working poor, provided they kept within bounds, was certainly the announced creed of many better- and lesser-known philanthropic gentlemen of the period, and we can find (apparent) plebeian celebrations of the belief:God bless Lord Dudley WardHe knows as times been hard.He called back the sodgermen,And we'll never riot again,Na boys, no boys, no the brave Dudley boys.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article considers how lecturing in Victoria Park in the East End of London allowed three early heads of the university settlement Oxford House to engage local communities in a discussion about the place of religion in the modern world. It demonstrates how park lecturing enabled James Adderley, Hebert Hensley Henson, and Arthur Winnington-Ingram, all of whom also held positions in the Church of England, to perform and test out their religious identities. Open-air lecturing was a performance of religious faith for these settlement leaders. It allowed them to move beyond the institutional spaces of the church and the settlement house in order to mediate their faith in the context of open discussion and debate about religion and modern life. The narratives they constructed in and about their park sermons reveal a good deal about how these early settlement leaders imagined themselves as well as their relationship with the working-class men they hoped to reach through settlement work. A vivid picture of Victorian religious and philanthropic life emerges in their accounts of lecturing in Victoria Park.

Full text
Abstract:
This study of the Philanthropic Society (later the Royal Philanthropic Society) sets out to explain how it survived during many shifts in thinking about the treatment of juvenile offenders in nineteenth-century Britain. The study also pays particular attention to relationships between the Society and the state, showing how the Society was gradually drawn into dependence on the state. The thesis begins with an overview of the Society's work prior to its decision to move from London to Redhill in 1849. Next it proceeds to a close study of the Society's work until the end of the century. The decision to concentrate on the Redhill Farm School reflects not only changing views about the reformation of young offenders, but also the financial imperatives which forced the Society along paths shaped by the state. Close attention is paid to the way Parliamentary inquiries and commissions, which in the mid-Victorian period tended to laud the Society as a model, later criticized it for lagging behind advanced thinking. Interwoven within this narratives are descriptions of the specific measures the Society took for training and caring for boys at Redhill. It explores the nature of unpaid labour, training and discipline enforced at the farm school. It also examines the variety of subjects taught during the years a boy would spend working within a strict discipline, and the methods used to enforce such discipline. Another subject worthy of extended consideration is the Society's enthusiasm for emigration to British colonies following a boy's term of incarceration. The thesis closes with an examination of how and why the Society lost its reputation as a leader in the treatment of young offenders in the late-Victorian period, as government imposed new rules and regulations. The overall argument is that the Society born as the result of moral panics about children at risk became a long-term survivor as the result of partnerships with the state.

Abstract:
The attitudes of selected memoir authors are surveyed with regard to their commentary on London Society ranging from the late Nineteenth century to the Nineteen Thirties. The experience of these Society participants is divided between aspects of continuity and change before and after the First World War. During this time-frame, London Society, as the community of a ruling class culture, may be seen to have undergone the transition from having been an aristocratic entity dominated by the political and social prestige of the landed classes, to that of an expanded body, more reflective of democratic evolution and innovation. The memoir testimony treated in this inquiry affords a means of reflecting not only Society's passage of experience but also more pointedly, its evaluation, shedding light on the values and vulnerability of a hitherto assured, discreet and otherwise adaptive class character at a time of accelerated change and challenge.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines Irish and Jewish mothers' experience of maternity provision and infant care services in East London in the years 1870-1939. As newcomers these immigrants not only had to cope with poverty but also the barriers of language and different cultural customs. Leaving their family and kinship networks behind them, Irish and Jewish mothers had to find new sources of support when incapacitated through pregnancy or childbirth. Living in one of the poorest areas of London and unfamiliar with the local medical and welfare services, these immigrants might be expected to have suffered very poor health. On closer examination, however, Irish and Jewish immigrants appear to have had remarkably low rates of infant and maternal mortality. Despite the difficulties they faced as newcomers, Irish and Jewish mothers had certain advantages over the local population in East London. They were not only able to rely on the prolific and diverse services already present in East London, but could also call upon their own communal organisations. This provision offered a wide range of care and was a vital support to the newcomers. After examining the social and economic background to Irish and Jewish emigration and settlement the thesis examines what impact this had on their health patterns, particularly infant and maternal mortality. The following chapters explore what forms of support were available to married Irish and Jewish mothers through their own family and local neighbourhood and communal agencies. Chapter five concerns the unmarried mother and what provision was made specifically for her. The care offered by the host society to immigrant mothers and their infants is explored in chapters 6 to 8. Institutions covered by these chapters include voluntary hospitals, Poor Law infirmaries, and charitable organisations such as district nursing associations and medical missions. The thesis examines not only the services available to Irish and Jewish mothers, but also the attitudes of health professionals and philanthropists towards immigrants and how these affected the accessibility and acceptability of maternity and infant welfare services to Irish and East European Jewish mothers.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an investigation of the Philanthropic Society (est. 1788) and Refuge for the Destitute (est. 1804), two subscription charities established to prevent crime and reform members of the “criminal underclass” in London, England. This thesis engages the perspectives of both benefactors and beneficiaries, arguing that beneficiaries (or “objects”) were not passive participants in the charitable exchange, but actively sought to manipulate the institutions’ systems to secure their own desires —desires which did not always align with those of their benefactors. The introductory chapter explores the social, economic, and political conditions which led benefactors to create the institutions and which informed their aims and methods. The first chapter examines the strategies used by objects to secure charitable aid on their own terms. The post-institutional conduct of beneficiaries is the focus of the final chapter. Despite the intensive reformatory regimen of the Philanthropic and Refuge, a significant proportion of beneficiaries —at least one third— refused to fulfill benefactors’ expectations that they become law-abiding, industrious, and pious citizens. From the day of their application to the institutions to long after their departure, objects’ actions were informed by their own expectations and desires.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the social politics of literary production at London's Inns of Court from 1572 to 1634. Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of cultural production are widened beyond his own French academic context so that the Inns may be located as institutions central to the formation of literary and, in particular, dramatic culture in early modern London. A significant part of Bourdieu's research has concerned the establishment of a foundation for a sociological analysis of literary works. The literary field, Bourdieu argues, is but one of many possible fields of cultural production—social networks of struggle over valued economic, cultural, scientific, or religious resources. As a historically constituted arena of activity with its own specific institutions, rules, and capital, the juridical field of early modern London was a competitive market in which legal agents struggled for the power to determine the law. Within this field, the Inns of Court served as unchartered law schools in which the valuable cultural currency of the common law was transmitted to the resident students, whose association with this currency was crucial for their pursuit of social prestige. Focusing on the four Inns of Court as central institutions in the juridical field and their relationship with the larger political and economic forces of London, that is, the field of power, the thesis demonstrates how the literary art associated with these institutions relates to the students' struggle for social legitimation, particularly in their interaction with the City and the Crown. By demonstrating how the structures of literary texts reflect the structures of the relationship between the Inns and other centers of urban power, this analysis examines the pivotal role(s) played by law students in the development of London's literary culture.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines Volkhovskii’s activities in the years immediately following his flight from Siberian Exile. After a few months in Canada, where he gave lectures to audiences about the plight of Russians who opposed the tsarist government, he moved to England where he was reunited with his old friend Sergei Stepniak. Stepniak had over the previous few years worked hard to encourage more positive views about Russian revolutionaries among the British public, helping to set up the Society of Friends of Russian Freedom and its newspaper Free Russia. The Society attracted much of its support from Liberal nonconformists like the influential solicitor Robert Spence Watson, although many Fabians also joined the Society, along with a small number of radical socialists such as William Morris. Following his arrival in London, Volkhovskii quickly became an important contributor to Free Russia, writing pieces on subjects ranging from the Russian police through to the plight of Siberian exiles, and often served as de facto editor in place of Stepniak. He also became close to some important literary figures in Britain, including Edward and Constance Garnett, encouraging Constance to learn Russian, which in turn set her on the path to becoming the leading translator of Russian literature in Britain. Volkhovskii was also active in the Russian Free Press Fund, which produced radical literature for distribution among Russian émigré communities and for smuggling into Russia itself. He edited the newssheet Letuchie listki which was designed to appeal to all elements in the Russian opposition movement, reflecting Volkhovskii’s view that greater unity was required among all those critical of the tsarist government, a perspective shared by Stepniak. Both men were careful when writing for a western audience to argue that members of the Russian revolutionary movement were typically interested in securing political reform rather than wholesale social and economic revolution.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter demonstrates the unpredictability of émigré efforts to aid Russian political prisoners and exiles, which during the 1880s often seemed moribund only to episodically rise again. Even as Vera Zasulich worried that the efforts of the “Red Cross of the People’s Will” Foreign Branch were petering out in spring 1882, Pëtr Kropotkin and Nikolai Chaikovskii were rousing radical audiences in London. Despite Kropotkin’s initial fears that the group’s link to the terrorist People’s Will would doom efforts there, he found rapt audiences in a summer lecture tour of cities in England and Scotland. But as the chapter shows, results were meager over the next several years, until the foreign branch was dissolved amidst further émigré factional division between the populist-terrorist People’s Will and Plekhanov’s Marxist-inclined “Group for the Emancipation of Labor.” But efforts to sway Western opinion concerning the heroic martyrdom of prisoners and exiles led to unexpected results. A renewed campaign in Italy from late 1884 into 1886 spearheaded by Anna Kuliscioff and Filippo Turati yielded significant contributions which were passed along to Zasulich. Finally, the chapter notes how the seeds that had been planted, in conjunction with George Kennan’s searing expose of Siberian exile, laid the foundation for the “Society of Friends of Russian Freedom” at the end of the decade.

The recently appointed reforming bishops of London and Winchester, responsible for the metropolis, and leading laypeople set out to develop mission strategies to respond to this unprecedented situation in the face of London’s immense population growth and the confidence and challenge of Nonconformist churches. Anglicans adopted a strategy of subdividing densely populated historic parishes in poor districts and recruiting clergy to establish schools, gather congregations, and build churches as centres of spiritual, pastoral, and philanthropic care, with the associated need to secure voluntary funding and pastoral assistance, including women, for these initiatives. Contemporary evidence suggests that contemporary and subsequent criticisms of this strategy were overstated in claiming that the Church of England lost the allegiance of people in multiply deprived inner-urban parishes. Close examination discloses a more nuanced picture.

Abstract Musicians worked in a cutthroat market-place, open to anyone and unprotected by trade unions, professional associations, watertight contracts, experienced and reliable agents, or generally accepted codes of con duct. It is difficult, in these days of musical plenty, when there is a superfluity of orchestral organisations, and a still greater number of good players in want of orchestral positions, to realise that in the year 1813 there was no per manent orchestral society in London open to the public, nor was there any society for the performance of Chamber-music; there was no band fit to play really orchestral works, by which is meant those Symphonies, Overtures etc.

Abstract:
There were astonishing levels of philanthropy in Victorian London, most of it faith-motivated, to supplement the rate-funded Poor Law which had been reformed in 1834 under the influence of Christian theological principles. London parochial charities, the combined annual incomes of which exceeded the annual budgets of some smaller European countries administered by parish priests and officers, were reformed, and lay and clerical faith leaders established the Charity Organisation Society to research and coordinate the administration of charitable relief developing social scientific methods. To illustrate the extent of voluntary engagement with organized philanthropic activity and social action by religiously motivated groups among the multitude of religiously inspired charities in London, case studies are made of providing housing for poor people, the drink problem, and the sexual exploitation of women and girls.

Abstract:
Abstract What did family life look like from the vantage point of unmarried and childless family members? The experience of eight Sharp siblings reveals previously under-examined aspects of Georgian family life. Being unmarried did not render someone family-less. Despite the geographic distance between them, the Sharps were, as brother John once remarked, “remarkable for unanimity.” Their records show a family spread over Durham, Northumberland, Northamptonshire, and London, yet bound tightly together through correspondence, shared finances, extended visits, support for religious and social benevolence, care for nephew and nieces, and summer holidays spent together. The Sharps’ lived reality was more radical than any of their political or religious positions. Their daily experience was an implicit critique of hierarchal patriarchal household structures. While there were some hierarchies, particularly the unremarked upon one between husband and wives, the most important Sharp power nexus was horizontal, not vertical. Unmarried and married, householders or not, parents or not, no sibling was cast as subordinate while others were cast as autonomous agents; no sibling held control over the purse-strings, thus constraining the others. Ultimately, the Sharps’ experiences uncover how important lateral kin like siblings and cousins were to marital and household decisions, expose single sociability not centered on courtship, highlight the importance of aunting and uncling on their own terms, demonstrate how charitable acts and philanthropic endeavors could serve as outlets or partial replacements for parenthood, and uncover genealogical practices tied to values and identity instead of to biological descendants’ possession of property.

Abstract:
The overarching goals for the UK in relation to global water security are to; tackle and reverse growing water insecurity and its consequences caused by depletion and degradation of natural water sources; and address poor water management and increasing demand. To do this, the UK has a well-developed water ‘offer’ that together can help reach the goal of global water security. This note details some of that water offer: UK water leadership: The UK developed the concept of modern sanitation and water supply, with an early example being the Victorian Bazalgette London sewer; Ownership and regulation: The UK has four models of ownership: government department in Northern Ireland, GoCo in Scotland, Mutual in Wales, and private companies in England. But the common thread is strong and clear, regulation to deliver the right outcomes for society; Competition and markets: The UK set up the world’s first water retail markets for business customers, delivering savings and environmental benefits. Similar market mechanisms are being developed for sewage sludge, which will help drive circular economy solutions; Innovation: The UK has a huge number of water tech start-ups and most water companies have labs and pilot schemes to support these fledgling companies. At the same time, the English regulator, Ofwat, has established a huge innovation fund, which along with the Scottish Hydro Nation initiative has made the UK the best place in the world for water innovation and tech.
