Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Whig Ministry of 1830, Vol. 1: To the Passing of the Reform Bill Peculiar circumstances gave the Whigs in 1832 a power which has seldom been acquired by any political party in this country. The mode in which that power was obtained - the manner in which it was exercised, cannot but be a subject of interesting inquiry and speculation to every succeeding generation of Englishmen. The Reform Act gave to the party by which it was proposed, the extraordinary power of which I speak. When, in 1832, that measure became law, the Whig administration had the whole force of the State in their hands - were also almost without rivals in the House of Commons - and enjoyed the unlimited confidence of the nation. In the present volumes, I purpose giving, as far as I am able, a history of the events attending their advent to office, and the passing of the Reform Bill. The remaining portion of my work, if I live to write it, will describe the fortunes and conduct of this once formidable administration until it was finally dismissed by the King in 1834.

Download or read book The Whig Revival, 1808-1830 written by W. Hay and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-11-30 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1808 and 1830, the Whigs made a remarkable transition from opposition to office that highlights important trends in early Nineteenth-Century Britain. The Whig Revival examines how a coalition between provincial interest groups and the parliamentary party established them as a viable governing party by 1830. Where earlier studies have focused on the Whigs experience in government or liberal reform movements, this work examines their years in opposition and how the struggle for power broadened the political nation beyond metropolitan elites.

Download or read book A Mad, Bad, and Dangerous People? written by Boyd Hilton and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-02-16 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This was a transformative period in English history. In 1783 the country was at one of the lowest points in its fortunes, having just lost its American colonies in warfare. By 1846 it was once more a great imperial nation, as well as the world's strongest power and dominant economy, having benefited from what has sometimes (if misleadingly) been called the 'first industrial revolution'. In the meantime it survived a decade of invasion fears, and emerged victorious from more than twenty years of 'war to the death' against Napoleonic France. But if Britain's external fortunes were in the ascendant, the situation at home remained fraught with peril. The country's population was growing at a rate not experienced by any comparable former society, and its manufacturing towns especially were mushrooming into filthy, disease-ridden, gin-sodden hell-holes, in turn provoking the phantasmagoria of a mad, bad, and dangerous people. It is no wonder that these years should have experienced the most prolonged period of social unrest since the seventeenth century, or that the elite should have been in constant fear of a French-style revolution in England. The governing classes responded to these new challenges and by the mid-nineteenth century the seeds of a settled two-party system and of a more socially interventionist state were both in evidence, though it would have been far too soon to say at that stage whether those seeds would take permanent root. Another consequence of these tensions was the intellectual engagement with society, as for example in the Romantic Movement, a literary phenomenon that brought English culture to the forefront of European attention for the first time. At the same time the country experienced the great religious revival, loosely described under the heading 'evangelicalism'. Slowly but surely, the raffish and rakish style of eighteenth-century society, having reached a peak in the Regency, then succumbed to the new norms of respectability popularly known as 'Victorianism'.

Download or read book The Greenian Moment written by Denys Leighton and published by Imprint Academic. This book was released on 2004 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of T.H. Green views his philosophical opus through his public life and political commitments, and it uses biography as a lens through which to examine Victorian political culture and its moral climate. The book deals with the political and religious history of Victorian Britain in examining the basis of Green's Liberal partisanship. It demonstrates how his main ethical and political conceptions--his idea of "self-realisation" and his theory of individuality within community--were informed by evangelical theology, popular Protestantism and an idea of the English national consciousness as formed by religious conflict. While the significance of Kantian and Hegelian elements in Green's thought is acknowledged, it is argued that "indigenous" qualities of Green's teachings resonated with values shared alike by elite and rank-and-file Liberals during the mid and late Victorian era. In examining Green's beliefs about the historical evolution of English liberty, his championing of (Liberal) Nonconformity and Nonconformist causes and his approval of religious bases of community, this study analyzes the ripening of a Greenian moment and traces Green's influence on Liberal, quasi-socialist and Conservative social reform down to the 1920s. The lasting impact of Green's teachings on British and Western political philosophy, apparent in the current vogue for communitarianism in liberal theory, indicates limitations of the "secularization thesis" still tacitly accepted by historians of Western political thought.

Download or read book Melbourne written by Philip Ziegler and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I agree with Lord David [Cecil] that Melbourne as a friend or relative must have been one of the most delightful, wise and entertaining of men, but in public life I believe him also to have been ambitious, cynical and almost wholly without political principle. He was, in short, much less of a carefree amateur, much more of a politician.' Philip Ziegler, from his Preface First published in 1976, Philip Ziegler's Melbourne drew on hitherto unused material and made an unprecedently searching assessment of the eminent Whig statesman of the 1830s/40s. It is extraordinary enough that Queen Victoria's first Prime Minister should have been dragged through the courts by an aggrieved husband not once but twice. Yet Melbourne's 'problematic' personal life is only one reason why Ziegler, even-handed and scrupulous, was compelled to test the validity of Victoria's famous final judgement that Melbourne was 'not a good or firm minister'.

Download or read book Gladstone and Kruger written by Deryck Schreuder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1969, Gladstone and Kruger examines British reactions to the Afrikaner nationalism. Beginning with the first Anglo-Boer war of 1880-81, it examines the formulation of policy after the British defeat at Majuba Hill. A that moment, the dangers of a pan-Afrikaner revolt in the Transvaal, Orange Free State and Cape Province seemed imminent, and the British presence in southern Africa seemed very much at risk. Schreuder shows how the devolution of metropolitan Imperial power on to local ministries conflicted with the Whig concern for the preservation of British dominance and prestige abroad and provides a commentary on the Liberal response to the Irish problem.
