A Provincial Minister in Politics
Henry W. Crosskey (1826–93), a late Victorian unitarian minister who served in Derby, Glasgow and Birmingham, is now best remembered for his involvement in Liberal politics and policy, especially education, as both an advocate and as a member of the Birmingham School Board. An eloquent preacher, he was also an important geologist, recognized both for his original research and for popularising the science and its impact on theology, and a revealin…
Collaborative Women
I have never been ‘‘feministic’’ in my approach to working-class problems . . . There is no need to go outside our own movement for full expression of ideas and activity’.1 Writing in 1956, Muriel Heagney, a long-time labour and equal-pay activist, described an ideal of labour women’s activism as she remembered it being enacted throughout her career. From her, this approach is to be expected: several of her younger contemporaries (Ryan 1996; Sear…
John Bowring and Unitarianism

The Ancient Constitution and the Feudal Law
Professor Pocock's subject is how the seventeenth century looked at its own past. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, one of the most important modes of studying the past was the study of the law - the historical outlook which arose in each nation was in part the product of its law, and therefore, in turn of its history. In clarifying the relation of the historical outlook of seventeenth-century Englishmen to the study of law, and pointin…
