The Scots in Australia 1788–1938, by Benjamin Wilkie
As the publisher’s statement points out, the Scots have often been relegated to the role of ‘invisible’ participants in Australian history, quietly seeking personal advancement in a land where they were overshadowed by the more numerous English and the more assertive Irish. Since the 1980s much has been done by Malcolm Prentis, Eric Richards and other historians to rectify this perception. Drawing this work together and supplementing it by furthe…

The Earl of Eglinton, Scottish Conservatism, and the National Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights
This article re-evaluates the role and importance of the thirteenth earl of Eglinton as president of the National Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights (NAVSR). Departing from the established historiography, which depicts his career as a romantic absurdity because of his organization of a medieval tournament in 1839, it shows Eglinton to have been a political figure of substance, who played a significant role in public life during th…

Gilfillan of Dundee, 1813–1878: Interpreting Religion and Culture in Mid-Victorian Scotland . By Aileen Black . Dundee University Press . 2006 . xiv + 280 pp. £25.00 . The case for writing a major study of George Gilfillan is not at first sight a strong one. He has not merited notice in reference works such as the Oxford Companion to Scottish History, and his adult life was spent in the relative obscurity of Dundee. Both as a clergyman and as a l…

Paternalism, Public Memory and National Identity in Early Victorian Scotland
This article analyses an episode in which several major themes of Scottish (and British) cultural and political history intersected: the cult of heroes, romantic paternalism and the evolution of Scottish national identity. Departing from interpretations that have overemphasized the hegemony of an anti-aristocratic bourgeoisie, the article interprets the Burns cult as a contested site of memory. By explicating the dramaturgy of the Robert Burns Fe…
Slave Traffic in the Age of Abolition. Puerto Rico, West Africa, and the Non-Hispanic Caribbean, 1815-1859
The nineteenth-century British took their anti-slavery heritage seriously. Westminster Abbey, the pantheon of the nation, contains several memorials of men who campaigned and legislated against the slave trade and slavery. One of the earliest, inaugurated in 1822, shows Charles James Fox dying in the presence of an Mrican. On bended knees the African gratefully acknowledges Fox's crucial role in 1806 during the process that terminated Britain's p…
The Queen's ‘Little Trip’
When Hugh Miller, the editor of the Edinburgh Witness, surveyed the history of royal 'progresses' in Scotland he discerned a feature that was common to all of them: they were 'peculiarly impressed by the stamp of their time, and linked in most instances with the main events and more striking traits of the national history'.1 Taking his survey back to a time when Scotland was experiencing the 'hideous' sleep of popery, Miller wrote with enthusiast…
God Bless Her Little Majesty.' The Popularising of Monarchy in the 1840s
In recent historical writings the early Victorian monarchy has been described as an institution that showed so little interest in public ceremonial that it could not serve as a focal point for a sense of national identity. This article argues to the contrary that the British monarchy learned how to provide crowd-pleasing spectacles for its provincial subjects during the 1840s by participating in civic pageantry, which, as 'a scenario of love' (Ri…
Samuel Smiles and the Woman Question in Early Victorian Britain
When Samuel Smiles (1812–1904) looked back over his career from the vantage point of old age he saw himself as one who had labored for “the emancipation and intellectual improvement of women.” His self-description will surprise those who know him, either through his famous book, Self-Help (1859), where women make fleeting appearances as maternal influences on the achievements of great men, or through the attempts that have been made during the Th…

Judging from repetitious appearances of her marital arms in the painted line-endings, the Psalter-Hours John Rylands Library Latin MS 117 probably belonged to Jeanne of Flanders (c.1272–1333), daughter of Count Robert III of Flanders and in 1288 second wife to Enguerrand IV of Coucy. Yet the line-endings also contain some 1,800 diminutive painted escutcheons, many of which refer to other members of the local nobility active during the 1280s. This…
