Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Sidney, Earl of Godolphin, K. G: Lord High Treasurer of England, 1702 to 1710 Sidney Godolphin was a frugal and cautious finance minister. During the period that he was chief of the Treasury some of the greatest financial changes which were ever made by an English Government were first put into operation. The raising of money by life and terminable annuities,1 the issue of exchequer bills, the establishment of the Bank of England, the funding of the National Debt, all date from this time. Yet we doubt whether any of these changes were economically more beneficial or important than the example which he set to public men of vigilantly guarding the na tional treasure. N o reforms could be completely successful while the men whose duty it was to protect the wealth of the people preyed upon it instead. At the end of the seventeenth century English statesmen were scandalously corrupt, yet no serious charge of personal corruption was ever made against Godolphin. Even Swift, who has written everything which malice could suggest to blacken his character, acquits him of such an offence. His predecessors, one and all.

Download or read book Reimagining the Historian in Victorian England written by Elise Garritzen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-09 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the transformation of history from a Romantic literary pursuit into a modern academic discipline during the second half of the nineteenth century, and shows how this change inspired Victorians to reconsider what it meant to be a historian. This reconceptualization of the ‘historian’ lies at the heart of this book as it explores how historians strove to forge themselves a collective scholarly persona that reflected and legitimised their new disciplinary status and gave them authority to speak on behalf of the past. The author argues that historians used the persona as a replacement for missing institutional structures, and converted book parts to a sphere where they could mould and perform their persona. By ascribing agency to titles, footnotes, running heads, typography, cover design, size, and other paratexts, the book makes an important shift in the way we perceive the formation of modern disciplines. By combining the persona and paratexts, it offers a novel approach to themes that have enjoyed great interest in the history of science. It examines, for example, the role which epistemic and moral virtues held in the Victorian society and scholarly culture, the social organization and hierarchies of scholarly communities, the management of scholarly reputations, the commercialization of knowledge, and the relationship between the persona and the underpinning social, political, economic, and cultural structures and hierarchies. Making a significant contribution to persona studies, it provides new insights for scholars interested in the history of humanities, science, and knowledge; book history; and Victorian culture.
