The Great Trust
This article contributes to the studies of memory by demonstrating that newspaper In Memoriams are a useful source for understanding the changing character of remembrance of soldiers killed in the Great War. It focuses on Mrs Edith Ash's extraordinary devotion to the memory of her husband that was expressed annually in The Times for nearly forty years. Her In Memoriams may be seen as evidence of how she dealt emotionally with grief and the memory…
Black Bob' Craufurd and Ireland, 1798—1804
This article represents a reassessment of Robert Craufurd, focusing on his role as a soldier-politician concerned with the position of Ireland in the wider empire during the era of the Act of Union. It explains the impact Irish conditions had on his political thought and explores how he used his new awareness while an MP not only to support his military defence policy, but also to promote a reform programme for Ireland, even though his military c…
When Great Men Fall Out
On 2 January 1804 William Wickham informed Prime Minister Henry Addington that owing to persistent illness and a lame knee he was obliged to resign his position as chief secretary for Ireland. In reply, Addington accepted this explanation at face value, lamenting its necessity but hoping 'that the Time is not distant when you will resume your Station in Ireland, or be placed in one not less important elsewhere'. Wickham was never to return to Ire…
William Wickham, the Christ Church Connection and the Rise and Fall of the Security Service in Britain, 1793-1801
The dangers arising from the French Revolution, an indigenous radical-republican movement and an Irish multi-faith nationalism persuaded the Pitt government from the outbreak of war in 1793 to consider new forms of state security. The process undertaken was pragmatic and the result was deliberately transitory. At the centre of developments was a phalanx of Christ Church-educated public servants, the most important of whom was William Wickham (176…
Lord Grenville and the ‘Smoking Gun’
This article re-examines the evidence that has been used to claim that, in the aftermath of the collapse of the British secret service's counter-revolutionary plans in France in September 1797, foreign secretary Lord Grenville supported a French royalist plot to assassinate the Directory. It concludes that, although his agent James Talbot was actively involved and probably thought he had official permission to proceed, Grenville remained ignorant…
The British Secret Service and the Escape of Sir Sidney Smith from Paris in 1798
This article seeks to modify the common perception that the activities of the British secret service during the French revolutionary wars were amateurish and unsuccessful by focusing on one effective operation masterminded by British agents, the escape of Sir Sidney Smith and John Wesley Wright from the Temple prison in Paris in 1798. It explores Smith's early espionage career in detail and examines the means used by the British secret service to…
Transatlantic Radicals and the Early American Republic
In the transatlantic world of the late eighteenth century, easterly winds blew radical thought to America. Thomas Paine had already arrived on these shores in 1774 and made his mark as a radical pamphleteer during the Revolution. In his wake followed more than 200 other radical exiles--English Dissenters, Whigs, and Painites; Scottish lads o'parts; and Irish patriots--who became influential newspaper writers and editors and helped change the natu…

Transatlantic Radicals and the Early Republic
William Winterbotham's Trumpet of Sedition
In this controversial but important book on acien regime England, Jonathan Clark argues that 'all forms of radicalism in early modern England had a religious origin'. In particular, he emphasizes the role played in the late eighteenth-century upsurge of radicalism by 'subversives' adhering to various forms of religious heterodoxy: arianism, socinianism, unitarianism and deism
The Dublin Society of United Irishmen and the politics of the Carey–Drennan dispute, 1792–1794
This article is concerned with political divisions within the Dublin Society of United Irishmen in a period, 1792–1794, which historians, accepting the contemporary argument of its leaders, have generally agreed demonstrated the society's unity of purpose. It is argued that ideological tensions existed between the middle-class leadership and the middling-class rank and file which reflected the existence of two different conceptions of radicalism,…

With the Hammer of Truth
With the Hammer of Truth
James Thomson Callender earned an infamous reputation as one of the first muckraking journalists in America, resulting largely from his character assassinations of George Washington, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson. As the journalist who broke the story of Jefferson's suppossed affair with his slave Sally Hemmings, Callender has become a fixture in Jeffferson studies. Yet Callender always considered himself a champion of libe…
John Lithgow's Lithconia
In May 1802 the first of eight installments of "Equality-A Political Romance" was published in Philadelphia's deist magazine, The Temple of Reason. This tract had no discernible impact at the time, but historians in recent years have made large claims for its significance

Paine and Cobbett
The French Enlightenment in America
Thomas Paine's Apostles
The key to understanding eighteenth-century American political discourse since the publication of Caroline Robbins's The Eighteenth-Century Commonwealthman in 1959 and Bernard Bailyn's The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution in 1967 has been the recognition that political ideas from England and Scotland underpinned republican ideology. In developing Robbin's and Bailyn's insights, both for the period of the American Revolution and for …
