The diaries of the fourth duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne (1785‒1851) provide an unrivalled insight into political events during the late-1830s and 1840s, from the perspective of a prominent Tory critic. At a time of Conservative revival under Sir Robert Peel, Newcastle used his position in the house of lords, his family’s historic electoral influence, and personal contacts with politicians and writers, to defend the status quoNewcastle’s diaries provide invaluable detail on these activities, offering important testimony on the Conservative party’s disruption in 1845‒6 and subsequent attempts to rebuild the party following the Repeal of the Corn LawsThey also illustrate Newcastle’s uncompromising views on personalities and events, and his hopes and fears for the country in its domestic and foreign policyThis edition reproduces the political content of the diaries for the period 1839‒50, as well as Newcastle’s published letters to the press, and is supplemented by a biographical appendix, an itinerary of Newcastle’s movements, and a comprehensive indexTaken together, the volume demonstrates why Newcastle was described by Punch magazine in 1845 as ‘The Last of the Tories’

Booksellers' Bill 1774 Legislating in the 18th Century
A View from Sir Henry Cavendish's Parliamentary Diary
AvPhillip Johnson
Häftad, Engelska, 2022

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The history of copyright and publishing in the 18th century is well trodden, and an event in 1774 is one of the most explored of all. The house of lords heard the infamous case of Donaldson v. Beckett in February, when it was found that copyright in printed books was by then a purely statutory creation. The case had attracted great public interest, as did the subsequent petition by the London Booksellers for a bill that would have delayed the full impact of the judgment for over a decade. The Booksellers' Bill is used here as a window into how the public interacted with parliament, how it then legislated and how its work was viewed. This examination is possible because the debates on the Bill were recorded by Sir Henry Cavendish in shorthand, and his diary entries noting the relevant speeches are published here for the first time. Along with this invaluable record there remains in existence a substantial number of the lobbying papers as well as the extensive recording of the Bill proceedings in contemporary newspapers. All of these are reproduced here. So while the Bill was neither championed by the government nor part of any wider political picture, it was hard and bitterly fought and the materials available present to us a microcosm of parliamentary activity in the period in a way that was not to be possible again for decades.

This special issue of Parliamentary History is one product of 'Eighteenth-Century Political Participation and Electoral Culture' (ECPPEC) a research project funded from January 2020 to June 2023 by the UK's Arts and Humanities Research Council. ECPPEC was designed to shed new light on participation in parliamentary elections in England in the long 18th century, from about 1695 to the Reform Act of 1832. It was concerned with 'participation' interpreted broadly, both in the sense of voting, and also through other means: for instance, by attending - or being an active part of - the rituals of parliamentary elections, or by consuming - or creating - electoral print, song, dress, or other artefacts. ECPPEC thus had a dual focus on polling data and electoral culture, and an ambition to discover how these two aspects of elections worked together, with electoral culture potentially affecting election results.
