Birth of Yugoslavia, Volume 1, by Henry Baerlein 2 THE LEGEND FOR NON-LATIN-1 CHARACTERS ['c], ['C] c with acute [vc], [vC] c with caron [vs], [vS] s with caron [vz], [vZ] z with caron d[vz], D[vz] d and z with caron THE BIRTH OF YUGOSLAVIA BY HENRY BAERLEIN VOLUME I LONDON LEONARD PARSONS DEVONSHIRE STREET First Published 1922 [All Rights Reserved] LEONARD PARSONS LTD. Portions of this book which deal with Yugoslav-Albanian affairs have appeared in the Fortnightly Review and, expanded from there, in a volume entitled A Difficult Frontier. NAMES AND PRONUNCIATION The original Serbo-Croat names of the Dalmatian towns and islands have been commonly supplanted on the German-made maps by later Italian names. But as the older ones are those which are at present used in daily speech by the vast majority of the inhabitants, we shall not be accused of pedanticism or of political bias if we prefer them to the later versions. We therefore in this book do not speak of Fiume but of Rieka, not of Cattaro but of Kotor, and so forth. In other parts a greater laxity is permissible, since no false impression is conveyed by using the non-Slav version. Thus we have preferred the more habitual Belgrade to the more correct Beograd, and the Italian Scutari to the Albanian Shqodra. The Yugoslavs themselves are too deferential towards the foreign nomenclature of their towns. Thus if one of them is talking to you of Novi Sad he will almost invariably add, until it grows rather wearisome, the German and the Magyar forms: Neu Satz and Uj Videk. These names and those of persons have been generally spelt in accordance with Croat orthography--that is to say, with the Latin alphabet modified in order to reproduce all the sounds of the Serbo-Croatian language. This script, with its diacritic marks, was scientifically evolved at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The chief points about it that we have to remember are that c is pronounced as if written ts, ['c] as if written tch, [vc] is pronounced ch, [vs] is pronounced sh, and j is pronounced y. So the Montenegrin towns Cetinje, Podgorica and Nik[vs]i['c] are pronounced as if written Tsetinye, Podgoritsa and Nikshitch, while Pan[vc]evo is pronounced Panchevo. It will be seen that this matter is not very complicated. But we have not in every case employed the Croat script. We have not spoken in this book of Jugoslavia but of Yugoslavia, since that has come to be the more familiar form. The full list of Croat letters, in so far as they differ from the English alphabet, is as follows: c, whose English value is ts. ['c], " " " tch. [vc], " " " ch, as in church. [vs], " " " sh. [vz], " " " s, as in measure. d[vz], " " " j, as in James. gj (or dj), " " " j, " " j, " " " y, as in you. lj, " " " li, as in million. nj, " " " ni, as in opinion. PREFACE Birth of Yugoslavia, Volume 1, by Henry Baerlein 3 On a mild February afternoon I was waiting for the train at a wayside station in north-western Banat. So unimportant was that station that it was connected neither by telegraph nor telephone with any other station, and thus there was no means of knowing how long I would have to wait. The movements of the train in those parts could never, so I gathered, be foretold, and on that afternoon it was uncertain whether a strike had prevented it from leaving New-Arad, the starting-point. Occasionally the rather elegant stationmaster, and occasionally the porter with the round, disarming face, raised their voices in prophecy, but they were increasingly unable--so far, at least, as I was concerned--to modify the feelings of dullness that were caused by the circumstances and by the dreary nature of the surroundings: a plain with several uninteresting little lakes upon it. There was time enough for meditation--I was wondering if I would ever understand the people of the Balkans. One hour and then another slipped away, and the lakes began to be illuminated by the setting sun. A handful of prospective travellers and their friends were also waiting, and as one of them produced a violin we all began to dance the Serbian Kolo, which is performed by an indefinite number of people who have to be hand-in-hand, irrespective of sex, forming in this way a straight line or a circle or a serpent-like series of curves. They go through certain simple evolutions, into which more or less energy and sprightliness are introduced. The stationmaster looked on approvingly and then decided to join us, and after a little time he was followed by the porter. Our violinist was in excellent form, so that we continued dancing until some of us were as crimson as the sun, and presently, while I was resting, what with the beauty of the scene and the exhilaration of the dance, I found myself thinking that, after all, I might within a reasonable time understand these people. Then a new arrival, a middle-aged, benevolent-looking woman with a basket on her arm, came past me. "Dobro ve[vc]e," said I. ["Good-evening."] "[vZ]ivio," said she. ["May you live long."] Nevertheless, I hope in this book to give a description of how the Yugoslavs, brothers and neighbours and tragically separated from one another for so many centuries, made various efforts to unite, at least in some degree. But for about fifteen centuries the greater number of Yugoslavs were unable to liberate themselves from their alien rulers; not until the end of the Great War were these dominations overthrown, and the kindred peoples, the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, put at last before the realization of their dreams--the dreams, that is to say, of some of their poets and statesmen and bishops and philologists, as well as of certain foreigners. But listen to this, by the censorious literateur who contributes the "Musings without Method" to Maga: "We do not envy the ingenious gentlemen," says he, "who invented the two new States Czecho-Slovakia and Jugo-Slavia. Their composite names prove their composite characters. That they will last long beneath the fanciful masks which have been put upon them we do not believe." Even so might some uninstructed person in Yugoslavia or South Slavia proceed to wash his hands of that ingenious man who invented Maga's home, North Britain. I see that our friend in the following number of Maga (March 1920) says that foreign affairs are "a province far beyond his powers or understanding." But he is talking of Mr. Lloyd George. Our account of mediæval times will be brief, only so much in fact as is needed for a comprehension of the present. In approaching our own day, the story will become more and more detailed. If it be objected that the details, in so far as they detract from the conduct of Yugoslavia's neighbours, might with advantage have been painted with the hazy, quiet colours that you give to the excursions and alarms of long ago, one may reply that this book is intended to depict the world in which the Yugoslavs have, after all these centuries, joined one another and the frame of mind which consequently glows in them. One cannot on this earth expect that a new State, however belated and however inevitable, will be formed without a considerable amount of friction, both external and internal. Perhaps, owing to the number of not over-friendly States with which they are encompassed, the Yugoslavs will manage to waive some of their internal differences, and to show that they are capable, despite the confident assertions of some of their neighbours and the croakings of some of themselves, of establishing a State that will weather for many a year the storms which even the League of Nations may not be competent to banish from South-Eastern Europe. A Birth of Yugoslavia, Volume 1, by Henry Baerlein 4 certain number of people, who seem to expect us to take them seriously, assert that an English writer is disqualified from passing adverse comment on Italy's imperialistic aims because the British Empire has received, as a result of the War, some Turkish provinces and German colonies. It is said that, in view of these notorious facts, the Italian Nationalists and their friends cannot bear to be criticized by the pens of British authors and journalists. The fallacy in logic known as the argumentum ad hominem becomes a pale thing in comparison with this new argumentum ad terram.

  • Volta, the Istituto Nazionale and Scientific Communication in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy*
    Luigi Pepe Volta, the Istituto Nazionale and Scientific Communication in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy* In a famous paper published in Isis in 1969, Maurice Crosland posed the question as to which was the first international scientific congress. Historians of science commonly established it as the Karlsruhe Congress of 1860 whose subject was chemical notation and atomic weights. Crosland suggested that the first international scientific congress could be considered the meeting convened in Paris on January 20, 1798 for the definition of the metric system.1 In September 1798 there arrived in Paris Bugge from Denmark, van Swinden and Aeneae from Germany, Trallès from Switzerland, Ciscar and Pedrayes from Spain, Balbo, Mascheroni, Multedo, Franchini and Fabbroni from Italy. These scientists joined the several scientists already living in Paris and engaged in the definition of the metric system: Coulomb, Mechain, Delambre, Laplace, Legendre, Lagrange, etc. English and American scientists, however, did not take part in the meeting. The same question could be asked regarding the first national congress in England, in Germany, in Switzerland, in Italy, etc. As far as Italy is concerned, many historians of science would date the first meeting of Italian scientists (Prima Riunione degli Scienziati Italiani) as the one held in Pisa in 1839. This meeting was organised by Carlo Luciano Bonaparte, Napoleon’s nephew, with the co-operation of the mathematician Gaetano Giorgini under the sanction of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold II (Leopold was a member of the Royal Society).2 Participation in the meetings of the Italian scientists, held annually from 1839 for nine years, was high: * This research was made possible by support from C.N.R.

Stanko Piplović Split GRADITELJSTVO U DALMACIJI ZA FRANCUSKE UPRAVE U članku se prikazuje djelovanje francuskih vlasti na izgradnji javnih građevina u pokrajini početkom XIX. stoljeća. U tom krat- kom vremenskom razdoblju, zbog ratnih prilika, posebna je po- zornost posvećena fortifikacijama i kopnenim komunikacijama potrebnih u vojne svrhe. Posebna je pozornost posvećena urbanističkim problemima Spli- ta i njegovim antičkim spomenicima. Ključne riječi: Dalmacija; XIX. stoljeće; francuska uprava; javne gra- đevine; urbanizam; Auguste Marmont; Basilio Mazzoli U ratovima protiv europskih velesila Napoleon je godine 1797. srušio aristo- kratsku Republiku Veneciju. Dalmacija, koja je bila u njenom sastavu, pripala je nakratko Austriji. Nakon novih sukoba s izmjenjivom srećom, mirom skloplje- nim u Požunu 26. prosinca 1805. godine. Francuzi su dobili tu pokrajinu. Uklo- pljena je u Talijansko kraljevstvo na čelu s potkraljem Eugenom. Na čelu joj je bio Vincenzo Dandolo kao generalni providur, a Auguste Marmont vojni zapovjed- nik. Slijedili su novi ratovi s Rusijom i Engleskom koji su se odvijali najviše na južnom i srednjem Jadranu. U vrijeme kratkotrajne uprave u pokrajini od 1806. do 1813. Francuzi su proveli temeljite društvene reforme. Sagradili su i veći broj građevina, prvenstveno potrebnih vođenju ratnih operacija. Središnje pokrajinske upravne službe Dalmacije u prvom razdoblju imale su 22 propisana resora djelovanja. U njima je graditeljstvo imalo važno mjesto. To su bile vode i putovi te javna zemljišta i zgrade. Godine 1806. ustrojena je mreža lokalne uprave. Dalmacija je podijeljena na četiri distrikta, a oni opet na kantone i općine.

  • Professors, Principals and Textbooks from the Midwifery School in Zadar
    Pregledni rad Acta Med Hist Adriat 2017; 15(1);109-138 Review article PROFESSORS, PRINCIPALS AND TEXTBOOKS FROM THE MIDWIFERY SCHOOL IN ZADAR PROFESORI I DIREKTORI TE UDŽBENICI PRIMALJSKE ŠKOLE U ZADRU Jovan Maksimović*, Marko Maksimović* Summary Midwifery in Dalmatia was highly undeveloped at the beginning of the XIX century. The health report from 1813 suggested that there were only 48 midwives in the whole province, and none of them with a degree from the midwifery school. After abolishing the Central Schools („Ecoles Centrales“), which were founded at the time of French reign, and which had the university range, the professors who stayed in Zadar continued their work and teach- ing in the Midwifery School, which was founded in 1820 according to the decision made by Emperor Franz I, and started working in 1821. Since the school was working continuously for the whole century, a lot of professors and prin- cipals passed through. Protomedicus of Dalmatia officially performed the duty of principals of the Midwifery School. Their life and work biographies were gathered in this paper. Although the newcomers were mostly illiterate, very contemporary and valuable textbooks were used at that time. The professors of this school wrote some of these textbooks. This paper analyses those textbooks from the current medical science and praxis point of view, which points out to its significance and contribution of its authors to the reputation that the School enjoyed at that time. Key words: Zadar; Dalmatia; Midwifery School; textbooks. * Scientific Society for the History of Health Culture of Vojvodina, Section for History of Medicine of Serbian Physician Society, Medical Faculty of Novi Sad, Novi Sad, Serbia.

  • French Rule in Croatia: 1806-1813
    FRENCH RULE IN CROATIA: 1806-1813 Hardly any period of Croatian history left more indelible marks than the rule of the French from 1806 until 1813. The era of the French Revolu­ tion and Napoleon was equally important for both the Croats and Slovenes, two South Slav neighbors who had lived previously for centuries under the Habsburg domination. To many of these South Slavs the French rule really represented a significant change for the better and liberation from the policy of Germanization, although many people did not realize that at that time. Viewing all the evidence, howevçf, one finds indications that the period of French rule as a whole did not have the significance some historians would like to attach to it. There were really two periods of the French rule in Croatia. The first lasted roughly from the beginning of 1806 until October, 1809, and was limit­ ed only to Dalmatia. The second period started with the Peace of Schön­ brunn (October, 1809) when Napoleon created the Illyrian Provinces which embraced most of the Slovenian and some Croatian territory with Dalmatia and ended before the close of 1813. The Croats, whose homeland by the end of the eighteenth century was ruled by three different powers (Austria, Venice, and the Ottoman Empire), enjoyed a very good reputation as soldiers in France. Since the time when the French Army had “un brilliant régiment de cavalerie étrangère qui s’ap­ pelait ‘Le Royal Cravate’,” 1 until the defeat of Napoleon, the Croatian sol­ diers were well-known in France. The Croatian sçldiers were mentioned beside the German mercenaries on the historic 14th of July 1789 when the French Revolution erupted with full force.
