London Corresponding Society : ウィキペディア英語版 | London Corresponding Society The London Corresponding Society was a moderate-radical body concentrating on reform of the Parliament of Great Britain, founded on 25 January 1792. The creators of the group were John Frost (1750–1842), an attorney,〔Arnold-Bake, Charles (1996) ''The Companion to British History'' (2nd ed.) Routledge, London, pp. 364-365 ISBN 0-415-26016-7 ;〕 and Thomas Hardy, a shoemaker and metropolitan Radical. The aim of the society was parliamentary reform, especially the expansion of the representation of working class people. In common with the other corresponding societies its membership was predominantly drawn from artisans and working men: early members included Joseph Gerrald, Francis Place, Edward Marcus Despard, Maurice Margarot and Olaudah Equiano. The London Corresponding Society had affiliates in Manchester, Norwich, Sheffield and Stockport.〔 ==Context== The society irritated the establishment with its opposition to the wars with France and was deeply infiltrated by spies. A ''British Convention'' of reform group leaders in Edinburgh organised by the Scottish "Friends of the People" society in October 1793 was broken up and a number of men were arrested and tried for sedition. The LCS representatives, Gerrald and Maragot, were sentenced to fourteen years transportation. John Frost received only six months for his sedition.〔 Undaunted, the remaining LCS leaders met with other reformist groups, including the Society for Constitutional Information, in 1794 to discuss a further national convention as well as producing a large number of pamphlets and periodicals.
