	The Pentrich Rising (the Derbyshire Insurrection) 9 June 1817
		The principal activist in the Nottingham and Pentrich area was the veteran radical Thomas Bacon, who had attended the meeting of Hampden Club delegates in London in January and had been at the Wakefield meeting reported by Oliver.
		It was Bacon who suggested Pentrich as the base for the rising, possibly because of its proximity to the Butterley ironworks which it was hoped to use for the manufacture of pikes and cannon during the coming insurrection.
		Following the Pentrich Rising and other manifestations of discontent, the government passed the Six Acts in 1819 in an attempt to maintain law and order.

	History
		The men of the Derbyshire village of Pentrich formed themselves into an armed force in 1817 and marched towards Nottingham expecting to be part of a national uprising to overthrow the government.
		The main reason for their action was anger and despair at the lack of work, lack of food and the apparent indifference of the government and local authorities to their ever more desperate plight.
		Whether he acted as an argent provocateur or whether the failure of communications between the revolutionary groups caused the Pentrich men to march to their downfall is open to question.

	Graham Stevenson: Chapter 2 of `Defence or Defiance?'
		Pentrich was particularly vulnerable to suggestions of violent militaristic action, for local feelings were running very high.
		The provocation of Pentrich was no more historically significant than that it was an attempt to divert the rising tide of discontent into a premature blind alley.
		Pentrich happened in the days of infancy for British capitalism - but the cool cynicism of the State machine was far from childish.

		All through the early part of the following century the rights of commoners were under attack at the very time when the rising mercantile class were in conflict with the established ruling class, the land owning aristocracy.
		Rising prices and a deteriorating standard of living affected workers very sharply.
		Clearly, there was a body of support locally, for it was heard that six men from Jessop's foundry at Butterley had been sacked "in consequence of their Jacobinical principles and calling themselves members of an Hampden Club".

		This meant that the median age of Englishmen kept dropping and the labor market was saturated with young.
		Once this was done the rebels in Parramatta would rise up and set fire to the town as a signal.

		Dismemberment of the body after death was seen by many contemporaries as a way of punishing the traitor beyond the grave.

	No. 16: Barrett and other Fenians
		The assassination of Spencer Perceval (1812), although it was shown that the act itself was born of private grievance, came at a time when Luddism provoked general unrest and harsh retaliatory measures, and seemed to echo the activities of Despard.
		The Pentrich rising (1817) and its overt acts of rebellion amongst workers evoked the whiff of high treason.
		The Cato Street Conspiracy (1820) echoed the fear attendant on the Despard affair in its possibilities for encouraging a general rising; and the plot to assassinate the cabinet was of astonishing proportion.

		During the Luddite risings, the Home Office collected documents from its correspondents in the North and the Midlands; these documents are catalogued primarily in the two series designated for materials on disturbances, 40 and 42, although a few related items are found in series 43.
		Instead, I would prefer to analyze the rhetorical strategies and contexts of these works--the verses and songs--in order to understand their significance to Luddism as a whole and within the particular circumstances giving rise to each work (since Luddism was not a monolithic, uniform movement across all of the textile-producing regions).
		It would seem to be significant that, in the poem, the Watch, comprising members of the middle class, create their own enemy, which they have difficulty repulsing by their own actions, but which falls largely because of its antiquity.
