Lecture delivered by Hugh Taylor, Archives Course Director and Canadian archival scholar about the 18th and 19th century English civil service bureaucracies, including the role of the clerk; the Colonial and Foreign Offices; the British civil service in India; the job of scribe in the 18th and 19th centuries; the organization and division of work in the civil service, and the demands made on the British civil service by Parliament. Of particular interest are the references to the disappearance of the centrality of the monarchy in the running of the country, and examples from 19th century English literature of civil service life in that era. The lecture was given as part of the 1987 Archives Course sponsored by the National Archives of Canada. <90mn>
