Matthew Adler’s M. Litt. thesis [Adler (1986)] offers little. Gabriele Metzler’s impressive study [Metzler (1997)] contains many insights into British attitudes towards the German Confederation, but has a different focus. On commercial questions consult: Davis (1997). 11 Quoted in: Southgate (1966: 549). 12 Calculated on the basis of Turner (1948: 873). 13 Times (15.9.1832: 3b). 14 In 1858 and 1863 the figures were 31:13:5 and 34:12:6 respectively; see: Foreign Office List (1852; January 1859; January 1864). These figures exclude the consular service. 15 Bright (1907: 284). 16 For their individual details see the Appendix. 17 Middleton (1977: 225). 18 Forbes and Milbanke lead the field with 38 years each; Magenis comes last with seven years; nine other diplomats totalled twenty or more years of service in Germany. 19 Gordon only knew Vienna; Morier served at Vienna, Berlin, Frankfurt, Darm- stadt, Stuttgart and Munich. On British diplomats’ work in nineteenth- century Germany see: Freitag (2000: ix–xvii); on the diplomatic service in general consult: Bindoff (1935); Jones (1983) and Middleton (1977); Hildebrand (1997: 66–83) offers a concise sketch of Britain’s foreign politi- cal machinery. 20 Frederick Lamb, Melbourne’s younger brother, was a career diplomat and received his first senior appointment (to Bavaria in 1815) and subsequent promotion (to Spain in 1825) from Tory governments. Palmerston kept the Tory Westmorland in Berlin in 1846 and subsequently promoted him. 212 Notes 213 21 Bloomfield, Cartwright, Erskine, Forbes, Lamb, Magenis, Malet, Milbanke, Morier, Ward and Westmorland received promotions from both parties; Cowley was promoted only by liberal Foreign Secretaries, but was kept at the important Paris embassy by subsequent Tory administrations. 22 Out of a possible 27 changes in Vienna, Berlin and Frankfurt between 1830 and 1863 (i.e. nine changes of government) only four recalls occurred: the 1st Baron Cowley was recalled from Vienna in 1831; Frederick Lamb from Vienna in 1841; Robert Gordon from Vienna in 1846; William Russell from Berlin in 1841. 23 Jones (1981: 50). 24 Cf. Steele (1987: 48); for more examples of this tension see ch. 2 n. 93, ch. 3 nn. 21, 46 and 101, and p. 187. Besides, Victoria’s and Albert’s German policies have already received considerable attention; see: Binder (1933), Eyck (1959) and Fischer-Aue (1953); on the limits of the Crown’s influence of foreign policy see: Hildebrand (1997: 73–7). 25 British expectations that the German Confederation would stabilize Europe are discussed by Gruner (1977a & b; 1981a and 1986); see also: Heydemann (1995: 23–9). 26 See: Heydemann (1995: 43–66, 135–44). 27 Schroeder (1994a) has characterized this detached attitude as ‘benign neglect’. 28 Hansard, 3rd ser., vol. 112: 228–444, 478–596, 609–739 (for Disraeli’s comment see: 733–4). 29 Palmerston to Russell, priv., 13.9.1865, quoted in: Bourne (1970: 382).

Nicholas Vazsonyi (Hg.) Searching for Common Ground Diskurse zur deutschen Identität 1750-1871 The Rhine Crisis of 1840: Rheinlieder\ German Nationalism, and the Masses Lorie A. Vanchena France's threat in 1840 to reestablish the Rhine as its eastern border proved central to the formation of German national consciousness and identity in the nineteenth century. The Rhine crisis generated intense anti-French, patriotic fervor in the German territories that extended well beyond the Rhineland. One expression of this nationalist sentiment was the poetry written as a direct response to the crisis, the countless Rheinlieder. These poems, including those critical of the Rheinliedbewegung> functioned as a medium of public debate about the crisis with France. Constituting a literary, journalistic, and political phenomenon, the poems enjoyed widespread popularity and resonance among the German public. The periodic press in particular served as a vehicle for disseminating these poems, thus enabling them to become part of the public dialog on the historical developments they addressed.

  • The Franco-Prussian War: Its Impact on France and Germany, 1870-1914
    The Franco-Prussian War: Its Impact on France and Germany, 1870-1914 Emily Murray Professor Goldberg History Honors Thesis April 11, 2016 1 Historian Niall Ferguson introduced his seminal work on the twentieth century by posing the question “Megalomaniacs may order men to invade Russia, but why do the men obey?”1 He then sought to answer this question over the course of the text. Unfortunately, his analysis focused on too late a period. In reality, the cultural and political conditions that fostered unparalleled levels of bloodshed in the twentieth century began before 1900. The 1870 Franco- Prussian War and the years that surrounded it were the more pertinent catalyst. This event initiated the environment and experiences that catapulted Europe into the previously unimaginable events of the twentieth century. Individuals obey orders, despite the dictates of reason or personal well-being, because personal experiences unite them into a group of unconscious or emotionally motivated actors. The Franco-Prussian War is an example of how places, events, and sentiments can create a unique sense of collective identity that drives seemingly irrational behavior. It happened in both France and Germany. These identities would become the cultural and political foundations that changed the world in the tumultuous twentieth century. The political and cultural development of Europe is complex and highly interconnected, making helpful insights into specific events difficult. It is hard to distinguish where one era of history begins or ends. It is a challenge to separate the inherently complicated systems of national and ethnic identities defined by blood, borders, and collective experience.

  • Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory
    To Our Dead: Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory by Jeffrey P. Luppes A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Germanic Languages and Literatures) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Andrei S. Markovits, Chair Professor Geoff Eley Associate Professor Julia C. Hell Associate Professor Johannes von Moltke © Jeffrey P. Luppes 2010 To My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a dissertation is a long, arduous, and often lonely exercise. Fortunately, I have had unbelievable support from many people. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor and dissertation committee chair, Andrei S. Markovits. Andy has played the largest role in my development as a scholar. In fact, his seminal works on German politics, German history, collective memory, anti-Americanism, and sports influenced me intellectually even before I arrived in Ann Arbor. The opportunity to learn from and work with him was the main reason I wanted to attend the University of Michigan. The decision to come here has paid off immeasurably. Andy has always pushed me to do my best and has been a huge inspiration—both professionally and personally—from the start. His motivational skills and dedication to his students are unmatched. Twice, he gave me the opportunity to assist in the teaching of his very popular undergraduate course on sports and society. He was also always quick to provide recommendation letters and signatures for my many fellowship applications. Most importantly, Andy helped me rethink, re-work, and revise this dissertation at a crucial point.

  • Making Lifelines from Frontlines; 1
    The Rhine and European Security in the Long Nineteenth Century Throughout history rivers have always been a source of life and of conflict. This book investigates the Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine’s (CCNR) efforts to secure the principle of freedom of navigation on Europe’s prime river. The book explores how the most fundamental change in the history of international river governance arose from European security concerns. It examines how the CCNR functioned as an ongoing experiment in reconciling national and common interests that contributed to the emergence of Eur- opean prosperity in the course of the long nineteenth century. In so doing, it shows that modern conceptions and practices of security cannot be under- stood without accounting for prosperity considerations and prosperity poli- cies. Incorporating research from archives in Great Britain, Germany, and the Netherlands, as well as the recently opened CCNR archives in France, this study operationalises a truly transnational perspective that effectively opens the black box of the oldest and still existing international organisation in the world in its first centenary. In showing how security-prosperity considerations were a driving force in the unfolding of Europe’s prime river in the nineteenth century, it is of interest to scholars of politics and history, including the history of international rela- tions, European history, transnational history and the history of security, as well as those with an interest in current themes and debates about transboundary water governance. Joep Schenk is lecturer at the History of International Relations section at Utrecht University, Netherlands. He worked as a post-doctoral fellow within an ERC-funded project on the making of a security culture in Europe in the nineteenth century and is currently researching international environmental cooperation and competition in historical perspective.

    BOOK REVIEWS ____________________________________________________________ Crisis among the Great Powers: The Concert of Europe and the Eastern Question. By Miroslav Sedivy. London: I.B. Tauris, 2017. xviii, 405 pp. Notes. Bibliography. Glossary. Index. Plates. Maps. $120.00, hard bound. doi: 10.1017/slr.2018.214 How stable was the famous “Concert of Europe” that came in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars? When the 1815 Congress of Vienna handed over the Rhine’s left bank to the German Confederation, the French—who felt it to be the natural border between France and the rest of Europe—lost a lot of ground, literally and meta- phorically. Twenty-five years later, they tried to get it back. This precipitated a cri- sis that had wide reverberations. This is a lovely book that shows marvelously how careful treatment of one event can illuminate a vast region and expansive period of history. In this case, such an event is used to interrogate the stability of Europe in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars, and to recast long-standing narratives in new ways. The “event” in question in Sedivy’s new book is the so-called Rhine crisis of 1840, which at first glance appears perhaps as more of a non-event than an event: as Sedivy observes, “it neither lasted nor grew into an armed conflict” (1). The “Rhine Crisis” refers to the ejection of France from the club of Great Powers, after the French Foreign Minister, Adolphe Thiers, pressed for the Rhine River to be reinstated as France’s eastern border. This would have resulted in a significant loss of territory for the German confederation, and would have reversed one of the key components of the Congress of Vienna.

    Denmark and the Duchy of Schleswig 1587-1920 The making of modern Denmark The Duchy of Schleswig Hertugdømmet Slesvig Herzogthum Schleswig c. 1821 The President’s Display to The Royal Philatelic Society London 18th June 2015 Chris King RDP FRPSL 8th July 1587, Entire letter sent from Eckernförde to Stralsund. While there was no formal postal service at this time, the German Hanseatic towns had a messenger service from Hamburg via Lübeck, Rostock, Stettin, Danzig and Königsberg to Riga, and this may have been the service used to carry this letter. RPSL Denmark and the Duchy of Schleswig 1587-1920 The Duchy of Schleswig: Background Speed/Kaerius, 1666-68, from “A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World” The Duchies of Slesvig (Schleswig in German) and Holstein were associated with the Danish Crown from the 15th century, until the Second Schleswig War of 1864 and the seizure by Prussia and Austria. From around 1830 sections of the population began to identify with German or Danish nationality and political movements followed. In Denmark, the National Liberal Party used the Schleswig question as part of their programme and demanded that the Duchy be incorporated in the Danish kingdom under the slogan “Denmark to the Eider". This caused a conflict between Denmark and the German states, which led to the Schleswig-Holstein Question of the 19th century. When the National Liberals came to power in Denmark, in 1848, it provoked an uprising of ethnic Germans who supported Schleswig's ties with Holstein. This led to the First Schleswig War. Denmark was victorious, although more through politics than strength of arms.

Some are thoughtful and more or less objective, based on a reasonable fa- miliarity with American life gained through study and travel; others, more ephemeral, the product of a six-weeks sojourn in America and the lure of publishers' royalties. Most of the latter have been en- tirely forgotten. Some of the former survive, and are still read with interest and profit. Others like Du Ponceau's remarkable diaries, letters, and commentaries, are still in manuscript form, awaiting edit- ing and publication, or, like Brissot de Warville's account, lie buried in the general works of the authors.2 1The Bibliography of American Travel, begun by Solon J. Buck and being brought to completion by a committee of the American Historical Association under the chairman- ship of Frank Monaghan, has listed upward of 10,000 titles in this field for the period from 1750 to i860. To this others are being constantly added. 2 For works on America by French writers before 1800 see Bernard Fay, Biblio- graphie critique des outrages franqais relatifs aux Etats-Unis (1770-1800); the careful bibliography of Frank Monaghan on French Travellers in the United States (1765- 1932), a bibliography (1933); R.

  • The Norwich School of Lithotomy
    THE NORWICH SCHOOL OF LITHOTOMY by A. BATTY SHAW A NOTABLE cHAPTER in the long history of human bladder stone has been contributed from Norwich and its county of Norfolk and this came about for several reasons. The main reason was that Norfolk enjoyed the unenviable reputation during the latter part of the eighteenth and throughout the nineteenth centuries of having the highest incidence of bladder stone among its inhabitants of any county in Great Britain. As a result of thishigh prevalence ofbladderstone a local tradition of surgical skill in the art of lithotomy emerged and when the first general hospital in Norfolk, the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital was founded in 1771-2 there were appointed to its surgical staff local surgeons who were most experienced lithotomists. Their skill was passed on to those who followed them and earned for the hospital a European reputation for its standards of lithotomy. Sir Astley Cooper" when at the height of his professional fame and influence in 1835 spoke of these standards as follows, 'the degree of success which is considered most correct [for lithotomy] is that taken from the results of the cases at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital'.2 There were not only able lithotomists on the early staff of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital but also physicians who wrote on the medical aspects of bladder stone with special reference to the problems of incidence and chemical analysis. These writings were based on the registers of admissions to the hospital which were kept from the hospital's inception. The keeping of a hospital register was an uncommon practice at the turn of the eighteenth century as is revealed by Alexander Marcet3 in a mono- graph on calculous disease of the urinary tract which he published in 1817.
