These principles must be read in conjunction with the detailed marking instructions, which identify the key features required in candidate responses. (a) Marks for each candidate response must always be assigned in line with these general marking principles and the detailed marking instructions for this assessment. (b) Marking should always be positive. This means that, for each candidate response, marks are accumulated for the demonstration of relevant skills, knowledge and understanding: they are not deducted from a maximum on the basis of errors or omissions. (c) If a specific candidate response does not seem to be covered by either the principles or detailed marking instructions, and you are uncertain how to assess it, you must seek guidance from your team leader. (d) Marking must be consistent. Never make a hasty judgement on a response based on length, quality of hand writing or a confused start. (e) Use the full range of marks available for each question. (f) The detailed marking instructions give illustrative examples of points that would be relevant within a candidate response. They are neither an exhaustive list nor a model answer. Other relevant points and approaches should be credited. (g) For credit to be given, points must relate to the question asked. However, where candidates give points of knowledge without specifying the context, these should be rewarded unless it is clear that they do not refer to the context of the question. (h) For points of knowledge/understanding in any response, marks should be awarded for points that are: a. relevant to the issue in the question b. developed (by providing additional detail, exemplification, reasons or evidence) c. used to respond to the demands of the question (eg evaluate, analyse, etc) Marking principles: 25-mark essay questions To obtain more than 12 marks in a 25-mark essay question, there must be a reference (however minor) to historiography. If the candidate is unable to show that they have referred to or quoted from historians, or considered historical schools of thought, then they are not meeting the basic requirements of the marks scheme for a pass. Full guidance on the intention of each essay, and possible format and relevant content of candidates’ answers, is given in the detailed marking instructions for each question. The grid that follows describes how 25-mark questions will be assessed against the following four criteria: structure analysis/evaluation/line of argument thoroughness/relevance of information and approach historical sources/interpretations page 02 The two key criteria which are used to help determine where an essay is placed within a mark range are analysis/evaluation/line of argument and thoroughness. The descriptions on the grid provide guidance on the features of essays falling within mark ranges which approximately correspond with the grades D, C, B, A, A+ and A++, assuming an even level of performance across all questions in the paper, and in the coursework. Many essays will exhibit some but not all of the features listed; others will be stronger in one area than another. Features described in one column may well appear in a response which overall falls more within another column(s). ‘Historical interpretations’ is the only criteria that should be thought of as a hurdle. The others are not. Markers should reward what the candidate has tried to argue and not penalise what may have been omitted. Remember, a candidate’s arguments and evidence may differ substantially from the marks scheme, but the candidate should still be given whatever credit they deserve. The grid on next page guides markers in placing responses within an overall likely mark range, and indicates how to avoid individual marks against the four marking criteria. The grid describes the typical or most likely qualities of responses. Individual candidate responses do not follow a set pattern and many responses may fall outside these descriptions, or be close to two or more descriptions. Where this is the case, markers will use their professional expertise in awarding marks appropriately. page 03 25 mark question — mark ranges and individual marking criteria Mark ranges 0-9 10-12 13-14 15-17 18-19 20-22 23-25 No attempt An attempt to The structure The structure is Clearly structured, Well-defined Structured so that the to set out a structure the displays a basic readily apparent perceptive, structure displaying argument convincingly structure for essay, seen in organisation with a competent presentation of a very confident builds and develops the essay. at least one of but this may presentation of the issues.

The previous level of taxation was not enough to cover the costs of Branch Officers the civil government. The English rightly believed that the Scots were evading taxation because of the enormous scale of smuggling and revenue fraud going President: on. Recent research has been able to confirm the scale of this evasion on one Sam Kistler product. Between 1707 and 1722, Scottish Glasgow merchants managed to evade duty on half of their tobacco imports from Virginia and Maryland.

London needed custom revenue to pay down their Secretary/Treasurer: National Debt which had grown to finance the Spanish Succession War which Norman Dunkinson ended in 1713. In July 1724, King George I appointed General George Wade the new Command- er-in-Chief of His Majesty’s Forces in Scotland. That same year, the English gov- ernment of Sir Robert Walpole decided to implement a malt tax on Scotland to begin in June 1725. This attempt to generate more revenue raised the cost of ale and created a wave of popular anger with riots breaking out throughout the major cities.

  • Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe's Rise: Political
    Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe’s Rise: Political Divergence of the Christian West and the Muslim World before 1500 CE” August 1, 2012 1 Feudalism and Political Stability To formalize the intuition presented in Section 3.3 using a simple framework, suppose that a perfectly myopic, risk-neutral sovereign imperfectly controls a polity that creates output of size one each period. Denote by γ the amount of land controlled by the military regardless of the actions of the sovereign (this can be interpreted as the percentage of the entire polity controlled by the military). Suppose that there are N perfectly myopic, risk-neutral members of the military (where N is sufficiently large) and that γ is evenly distributed between the members of this class. We consider the parameter value γ exogenously given. A value of γ = 0 corresponds to a perfectly absolutist sovereign (who uses mamluks or mercenaries to staff his military) whereas higher values of γ denote more feudal arrangements. Note that our assumption of perfectly myopic agents allows us to abstract from the potentially important issue of how the sovereign compensates the military (i.e., iqta’ rents versus land grants).1 In addition, we abstract from other important issues in order to focus on the sovereign’s desire to prevent a successful revolt. We do so in order to highlight one mechanism that we believe contributes to the observed increase in ruler duration. The order of play in the game is as follows: after observing γ the sovereign moves first and decides whether to keep the entire amount of output he controls to himself or whether to divide it equally between himself and the military.

ROBERT KERR HANNAY A Memoir Robert Kerr Hannay was born in Glasgow, at 16 Wood- side Terrace, on 31st December, 1867. He was the eldest of the six children of Thomas Hannay, ironmaster, and Elizabeth McDowall, the daughter of a minister of the United Presbyterian Church. His mother, ‘ though a woman of deeply pious and even puritanical and prudish leanings,’ wrote one who knew them both, ‘ with more than a tinge of anxious melancholy, was yet blessed with a deeply innate sense of humour. It was from her that he inherited that genuine “ eye ” for the incongruous and ridiculous that was to delight so many of his friends.’ Much of his childhood and boyhood, however, was passed, not in the family home at Bridge of Allan, but in Glasgow, with his aunts, wealthy and pious old ladies.
