Bibliography of works by Malcolm Chase
Malcolm Chase
This paper brings together the reflections by three historians who knew Malcolm Chase, presented at the Northern History memorial conference in Leeds on 29 November 2024. It shows how integral Malcolm Chase’s work was to nineteenth-century political and labour history of Britain. It explains his impact and legacy on the study of history, especially in and of northern England, and ends with a call for more work on regional and working-class histor…

Petitioners and Rebels
The national petitioning campaign for parliamentary reform in 1816–17 was the biggest such movement before Chartism. It generated more than 700 local petitions with approaching a million signatures, representing perhaps 25 percent of adult males and extending the political nation well into the working classes. It was particularly strong in the Lancashire manufacturing districts, where economic grievances such as hunger and exploitation were conve…

Visionary Religion and Radicalism in Early Industrial England

The challenge of the spaceship
Arthur C. Clarke’s 1946 essay on ‘The Challenge of the Spaceship’ was one of the founding manifestoes of the Space Age, and helped to establish him as the West’s leading techno-prophet. Restating his ideas in subsequent factual and fictional works, Clarke successfully propagated the belief that man’s destiny lay in space and that the process was already underway. On the surface Clarke’s oeuvre offers a classic astrofuturist model of progress as t…
French Revolution or Peasants' Revolt? Petitioners and Rebels in England from the Blanketeers to the Chartists
Coming from Manchester in 1817, the march of the 'Blanketeers' has generally been taken to be something to do with the industrial revolution: at least an eruption of distress, at most an attempted revolution. This article returns to the sources to show how both the march and the attempted risings that followed were related to a coherent national strategy of petitioning and remonstration for parliamentary reform that began with the London Hampden …

Loyalism and Radicalism in Lancashire, 1798-1815
This is an original and important study, the significance of which far exceeds its modest title. It is a regionally based and integrated account of politics, war and industrialisation during the Napoleonic period which explores and challenges both Linda Colley's account of the forging of British identity and E.P. Thompson's account of The Making of the English Working Class (1963; rev. ante, lxxxvi [1971], 574–87). Navickas opens by outlining the…
Psychiatric Interviewing and Assessment
This book will help mental health professionals to develop the fundamental generic skills in interviewing and assessment which form the foundation of psychiatric practice. It is about the process of reaching a diagnosis and is a practical guide to help the reader make the transition from novice to competent clinician. It is based on real problems encountered in modern general adult psychiatric practice, and is set in a range of environments, in t…
By the Law or the Sword’
This article looks again at the ‘Peterloo massacre’ of 16 August 1819 in Manchester, and offers new evidence from the Home Office Disturbances Papers about how it came about and who was responsible. In Section I the revisionist case that Peterloo was a conflict rather than a massacre is examined and found wanting. Section II argues that in the months before Peterloo, the Home Office had consistently urged the Lancashire magistrates to combat radi…
The March to Peterloo
In March 1820 Henry Hunt, Samuel Bamford and others were on trial at York assizes for conspiracy and sedition in connection with the Manchester reform meeting of Monday 16 August 1819 — the meeting which had ended in the ‘Peterloo massacre’. Bamford defended himself, and his line of defence at times puzzled the judge. Bamford’s star witness was James Dyson, a neighbour from Middleton. Dyson’s description of the march as a kind of festive village …
Cutting the Gordian Knot on Highway Reauthorization
The principal obstacle to reauthorizing the federal surface transportation program is a dispute over the size of the program and the amount, if any, of an increase in federal fuel taxes. A gap of $125 billion (over 6 years) separates the Bush Administration’s proposal from that of the House of Representatives, with the latter favoring a large fuel tax increase. This article suggests that a significant expansion of tolling and public-private partn…
Private Toll Roads
Privatization approaches hold great promise for improving the performance of the U.S. highway system. But dramatic results akin to those being achieved overseas via private toll road concessions will depend critically on supportive public policy. Other countries have adopted the private concession model as a matter of national policy, applying it not merely to a few speculative new roads but to major modernization of existing highways and express…
Privatization
A new approach to the funding, management, and operation of transportation infrastructure is emerging. “Privatization” refers to several different ways in which private sector firms, usually under some form of government supervision, assume significant responsibility for these major systems. Although the traditional U.S. model of user taxes, trust funds, centralized resource allocation, and government ownership and operation has produced reasonab…

Give Us Our Eleven Days
For generations, there has been no better illustration of the collective idiocy of the crowd than the story of the English calendar riots of 1752. At the trial of Henry Hunt and others for treason in 1820, James Scarlett, the prosecuting counsel, had this to say: 'The ridiculous folly of a mob had been exemplified in a most humorous manner by that eminent painter, Mr. Hogarth. It was found necessary many years ago, in order to prevent a confusion…

Bloomsbury and Bicycles
The has been the subject of discussion and inquiries of various sorts for the last sixty years. The point has often been made, both by those within the group, and those without, that it is dangerous to speak of a Bloomsbury essence, because of the group's ever-changing, heterogeneous membership. Nevertheless it seems fair, and fruitful as well, to recognize that the main body of the group was quite intimate with one another over a long period of …
Can Police Services Be Privatized
Some people consider police services as inappropriate for privatization, arguing that such services are public goods that only government can practically provide. The work of E. S. Savas and others, however, has persuasively demonstrated that many government services are not public goods or, at least, not pure public goods. Police services, in fact, have been successfully financed, through user fees, and delivered, via contracting, by the private…

Privatization of public‐sector services in practice
Privatization—the transfer of assets and service responsibility from the public to the private sector—has been expanding at the state and local level. Empirical studies document significant cost savings, apparently due to incentives introduced by competition. The outlook is for continued expansion of privatization, including such areas as highways, transit, water supply, and education
