The Church of England and the Coronation Rite, 1761-1838
British coronations from 1761 to 1838 have conventionally been dismissed as tawdry pageants with little religious significance. The study of these ceremonies has also been impeded by the dominance of historiographical frameworks characterizing the later Georgian period as an era of political secularization. Drawing upon many neglected sources, this article challenges such presuppositions by situating the Anglican clergy in the foreground of coron…
The Church of England and the Legislative Reforms of 1828–32
Since the 1950s, historians of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Church of England have generally maintained that the Sacramental Test Act (1828), the Roman Catholic Relief Act (1829) and the Reform Act (1832) amounted to a ‘constitutional revolution’, in which Anglican political hegemony was decisively displaced. This theory remains the dominant framework for understanding the effect of legislation on the relationship between church and sta…
The Political Dimension of the Education of the Poor in the National Society's Church of England Schools, 1811–37
One of the most important spheres of activity in the early nineteenth-century Church of England was the establishment and support of schools for the poor. The primary agent of such activity was the National Society. Founded in 1811 by clergymen and philanthropists, this organization aimed to maintain Anglicanism as the ‘National Religion’ by instructing as many poor children as possible in church doctrine under clerical supervision. By 1837, almo…
George IV and William IV in their Relations with the Church of England
George IV and William IV have long been represented as fundamentally pleasure-seeking monarchs who had little or no interest in religion. However, this assumption has never been sustained by detailed evidence. This article comprehensively challenges the stereotype by presenting the regency and reign of George IV together with William IV's reign as a distinct and significant period in the relationship between the British monarchy and the Church of…

Queen Adelaide and the Extension of Anglicanism in Malta
On a visit to Malta in 1838, Queen Adelaide expressed severe disappointment that the British colony did not possess a purpose-built Anglican place of worship. She determined to fund the building of one at her personal expense and within six years the grandiose neoclassical church of St Paul's, Valletta, was completed. This imposing structure occupied an ambiguous position in a colony where the British government was pledged to maintain Roman Cath…
Religion in the British Navy, 1815–1879
In an impressive sequel to Evangelicals in the Royal Navy, 1775–1815: blue lights and psalm singers (Woodbridge, 2008), Richard Blake contends that evangelical Christianity exercised a pervasive in

Boxing, Paternalism, and Legal Moralism
L'Association Medicale Americaine (AMA) mene une campagne en faveur de l'interdiction de la boxe, en raison des dommages corporels engendres par ce sport. En s'attachant plus particulierement a la boxe professionnelle, cet article confronte les arguments du paternalisme legal des adversaires de la boxe aux arguments liberaux de Joel Feinberg qui s'oppose a tout moralisme legal au nom de l'autonomie de l'individu. L'A. se montre favorable a une re…
On the Difference between Physician-Assisted Suicide and Active Euthanasia
Those who defend physician-assisted suicide often seek to distinguish it from active euthanasia, but in fact, the two acts face the same objections. Both can lead to abuse, both implicate the physician in the death of a patient, and both violate whatever objections there are to killing. Their moral similarity derives from the similar roles of the physician
