  Radicals - Sam Bamford
However, Bamford's respect for authority did not prevent him making enemies within the establishment, and at one point he was forced to go on the run for a while.

 Samuel Bamford: Literary Reviews.
Bamford appears to have, during that period, kept aloof from "secret meetings,'' and he condemns as well as laments the different conduct of not a few of his friends, who were mixed up more or less with plots and risings in Derbyshire and elsewhere, and two or three of whom forfeited their lives in consequence.
Bamford asserts and maintains that the drillings, flags of "universal suffrage or death," andc., were all harmless in intention, and considers the forcible dispersion of the mighty host of (according to radical authorities) 100,000 or 130,000 reformers on the 16th of August, as the most heinous outrage against liberty recorded in our nation's history.
Bamford's narrative ought to be read as a whole; and however widely we must dissent from some of the political opinions even of his sedate retirement, there is a very great deal in his ultimate reflections on the state of England, and especially of English society, which deserves the most serious attention.

 Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 00036901
Samuel Bamford's well-known autobiographical Passages in the Life of a Radical and Early Days are among the most important sources for the social history of the early industrial revolution and the radical movement.
There is frequent reference to and argument about the early nineteenth-century radical movement and the Peterloo massacre, and among Bamford's contacts and correspondents were the MPs Richard Cobden and James Kay-Shuttleworth, the pioneer dialect writers Edwin Waugh and Ben Brierley, and mid-Victorian political reformers.
This edited edition of the diaries provides an intricate combination of diary, letterbook, and commonplace book, so that Bamford can be seen both in public and private, as he saw himself, as he wished to be seen, and as others saw him.

Bamford Hall became "Scarsdale Hall" in Kay-Shuttleworth's "omnium-gatherum" novel, and Samuel Bamford himself a meliorist radical clogger: Kay-Shuttleworth had lived with his uncle Joseph Fenton at Bamford in his teens.
The whole Kay/Fenton family were major founders of the Congregationalist Chapels and Sunday Schools which were to become seedbeds not only of radical proletarians but of docile, assimilationist proletarians.
The more we contextualize Bamford's life and writings, the harder it is to use them to illustrate a "type" of working-class intellectual experience, though Rose certainly does address working-class conservatism elsewhere.
