The Gruys Journal (GJ), Volume 12, November 2007, ISSN: 1387-9979; GJ07.PDF The Gruys Journal is a private periodical on Gruys-families. It started in 1996 with volume 1 as updating journal for the Album, "Born to be Special" (1995). In 1998 by letter from the Dutch Royal Library it received an ISSN number: 1387-9979. It functions as a genealogical journal for Gruys families. Its primary storage places are personal libraries of some Gruyses and the library of Granite Mountain, Salt Lake City, Utah. The contents regard major data on family members sent to the redaction. New volumes will be prepared only once a year and when people supplied enough new data to fill a volume. To reduce costs from each new volume an electronic version will be prepared. That can be obtained by e-mail on request or downloaded form a website. Photographs received, will not automatically become included in a new volume of the journal. They may be stored in the family archive of the editor. Anyhow, please write with a soft pencil at the back-side which persons can be observed and the year the picture was made. Electronic versions can be sent. The Gruys tribe originates from The Netherlands (Holland) and members of different branches still live in that beautiful country with its lovely mild, but sometimes wet, climate. The first Gruyses lived in the neighbourhood of the city of Delft, at the Zaan banks north of Amsterdam and in the city of Groningen and its province. Some families can be found immediately east of the latter area, in Germany (Ost Friesland). The Gruys Journal is an independent periodical printed for a very limited number of addresses. Copies may be obtained after payment of costs of printing and postage as long as they are available. People with e-mail may receive the electronic versions as far as available, free of charge. The first volume of the Album, Born to be Special, and the 1900-2000 century volumes of the Gruys Journal are no longer available. Just like said in the preface of the Album, most data are hard to prove and thus should not be seen with a strong belief of exactness. We try to give the most reliable data, but errors are never totally to be excluded. They consist of data errors and typing errors. Please contact the redaction about errors found. Your comments then may become included in a next volume. The contents belong to the copyright of the editor, but editor and redaction do not accept responsibilities for any part of the contents. Advertisements may be included on request. Editor and redaction: Erik Gruys, Vijverlaan 9, NL-3971-HJ Driebergen, The Netherlands.

About Christmas story mentioned for the FVE by Jan Vaarten (2006) About this time we celebrate Christmas, the birth of new life and the beginning of a new year, the time-period defined by the length of a circle of the earth around the sun. The moment to start counting the first circle and thus a next one is rather arbitrarily. Different populations around the world follow different numbering systems and take different moments to begin the year. For many centuries, at least in the Mediterranean regions the beginning of a new year has been celebrated around what we now call March, evidently the beginning of springtime 2 Journal on Gruys families. The Gruys Journal (GJ), Volume 12, November 2007, ISSN: 1387-9979; GJ07.PDF when nature comes to life again. The names of the months September (7th), October (8th), November (9th) and December (10th) still remind us of this system. In the Roman empire and during the time of Julius Caesar, it was decided to connect the beginning of a year with the moment in which on the northern hemisphere the sun starts to rise again. This system presently still is used in Western European countries and their spin off countries, whereas f.i. most Muslim countries and Ethiopia have their New Year more near March. The celebration of a new year is often surrounded with traditions and old customs. They take us back to the ancient times when people felt their lives much more dependent on their interaction with nature, something that we, in our modern world of technological achievements, sometimes forget. A comparable situation might occur in our relations with animals. We sometimes seem to forget about their background, their qualities and their needs; for example we might treat them like children feeding them chocolates or, to the opposite, treat them as if they were only technical instruments for the production of commercial goods. Hopefully you will have a very nice Christmas time, time to enjoy with your relatives and friends and time to relax. And maybe, when you are sitting next to the tree, listening to pleasant music, enjoying your traditional dishes, you might find some time to reflect upon our relations with animals and have some thoughts on how to keep them well. A. LETTERS Christmas card of Rogier Gruys and family from Canada #1. Letter of Rogier Gruys Beste familie en vrienden, Het is alweer die tijd van het jaar om eindelijk weer eens wat van ons te laten horen. Vorig jaar dachten we dat we het druk hadden met de verhuizing van Victoria naar Vancouver, maar de laatste paar maanden waren welicht net zo druk, omdat ik veel te veel te doen had op het werk hier in de Canadian Tourism Commission. We zijn bezig met een vernieuwing van het “merk” Canada, tenminste voor de toeristenindustrie. Nieuwe kleuren en vernieuwde producten; minder moose, mounties en mountains. Het wordt mooi, dus het harde werk is niet voor niets. En uiteraard nu is er geen excuus meer om niet naar Canada te komen met vakantie! Ondertussen groeien de dames als kool. Ze zijn nu weer 2 dagen/week op de peuterschool, en Endang blijft uiteraard druk met ze. Mochten jullie sneeuw zoeken, die is allemaal hier gevallen (Alweer een goede reden om naar Canada te komen). We hebben sinds November al een paar meter in bergen net buiten de stad. We hebben de dames de laatste maand op schaatsen, op skis en op sneeuwschoenen gezet. Ze vinden het allemaal 3 Journal on Gruys families. The Gruys Journal (GJ), Volume 12, November 2007, ISSN: 1387-9979; GJ07.PDF heerlijk, dus het enige probleem volgend jaar is: lessen voor schaatsen, skiën of snowboarding? Of wellicht allemaal. Met het werk en de meisjes hebben we helaas geen kans gehad om veel te reizen; behalve onze trip naar Europa in het voorjaar en een paar kampeertochtjes in de buurt hebben we onze tijd in de grote stad doorgebracht. Maar er is gelukkig enorm veel te zien en doen hier, dus vervelen we ons niet. Voor een collectie foto’s van 2006, zie http://www.bluepeak.net/2006. In ieder geval, we wensen jullie een zalig kerstfeest, en het beste voor 2007! Hartelijke groeten, Rogier, Endang, en de meisjes #2.

Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself. 2. Avoid cutting yourself slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold while you chop. 3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink. 4. To treat high blood pressure: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer. 5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button. 6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.

    * omslag Dutch Ships in Tropical:DEF 18-08-09 13:30 Pagina 1 dutch ships in tropical waters robert parthesius The end of the 16th century saw Dutch expansion in Asia, as the Dutch East India Company (the VOC) was fast becoming an Asian power, both political and economic. By 1669, the VOC was the richest private company the world had ever seen. This landmark study looks at perhaps the most important tool in the Company’ trading – its ships. In order to reconstruct the complete shipping activities of the VOC, the author created a unique database of the ships’ movements, including frigates and other, hitherto ignored, smaller vessels. Parthesius’s research into the routes and the types of ships in the service of the VOC proves that it was precisely the wide range of types and sizes of vessels that gave the Company the ability to sail – and continue its profitable trade – the year round. Furthermore, it appears that the VOC commanded at least twice the number of ships than earlier historians have ascertained. Combining the best of maritime and social history, this book will change our understanding of the commercial dynamics of the most successful economic organization of the period. robert parthesius Robert Parthesius is a naval historian and director of the Centre for International Heritage Activities in Leiden. dutch ships in amsterdam tropical waters studies in the dutch golden age The Development of 978 90 5356 517 9 the Dutch East India Company (voc) Amsterdam University Press Shipping Network in Asia www.aup.nl dissertation 1595-1660 Amsterdam University Press Dutch Ships in Tropical Waters Dutch Ships in Tropical Waters The development of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) shipping network in Asia - Robert Parthesius Founded in as part of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the Amsterdam Centre for the Study of the Golden Age (Amsterdams Centrum voor de Studie van de Gouden Eeuw) aims to promote the history and culture of the Dutch Republic during the ‘long’ seventeenth century (c.

The VOC was the result of a merger between several companies that had been trading in the East Indies between 1594 and 1602.

At least one commentator has speculated that this is the engraving work of Georg Keller in Frankfurt. The view shows the trading efforts in Java attempted by the Compagnie van Verre of Amsterdam. The Compagnie was established in 1594 by nine citizens of Amsterdam, with the purpose of breaking up Portugal's monopoly on the pepper trade. The Compagnie outfitted and sent three heavily armed ships and a pinnace under the leadership of Cornelis de Houtman, with orders to break into the trade. On April 2, 1595 the ships set off from Texel, with 248 officers and men on board. The expedition followed the routes described by van Linschoten, who had earlier been in the service of the Portugese and described the route in his book. In June 1596, the ships arrived at Bantam, the most important pepper port in the Western part of Java. The attempt to purchase Pepper was largely unsuccessful, with the Portugese traders in the region blocking most of the Dutch efforts to trade.

Meijer Woord vooraf Reeds vele jaren geleden nam ik me voor geschiedenis te gaan studeren zo gauw zich de gelegenheid zou voordoen, maar het dagelijks werk en het gezin maakten dit vooralsnog onmogelijk. Pas in 1998 zette ik de eerste stap door me in te schrijven voor enkele vakken in Aparte Opleidingsonderdelen. Tot 2006 volgde ik zo jaarlijks enkele vakken uit de opleiding geschiedenis. De voldoening die de studie me verschafte zette me ertoe aan om in dat jaar voltijds aan de opleiding te beginnen. Dit heeft geresulteerd in de voorliggende masterscriptie die zijn oorsprong vond in de inspirerende lessen van prof. dr. em. J. Everaert en dr. J. Parmentier. De meeste dank gaat uit naar mijn promotor, prof. dr. M. Limberger, voor de deskundige en immer vriendelijke begeleiding. Altijd maakte hij tijd vrij om mijn vragen te beantwoorden en me nieuwe wegen te wijzen.

    1 Draft conference paper / Please do not quote without permission Spirited Transactions. The Morals and Materialities of Trade Contacts between the Dutch, the British, and the Malays (1596-1619) Romain Bertrand (CERI-Sciences Po, Paris) 1. On June 22, 1596, a small Dutch fleet came to anchor in the bay of the city of Banten, on Java’s north coast 1. Placed under the command of Cornelis de Houtman and Gerrit van Beuningen, this privately-chartered commercial expedition comprised 4 vessels manned by some 249 crew members 2. Thanks to critical nautical information leaked out of the Portuguese Asian dominions by Jan Huygen van Linschoten – whose Itinerario was not yet printed 3, but nevertheless already circulating under manuscript form among Dutch cartographers at the time Houtman and Beuningen were busy completing the victualling of their ships –, the main pilot of this so-called “First Navigation” to the East Indies, Pieter Diercksz. Keyzer, easily found his way to the Cape of Good Hope, then on to Madagascar. After the untimely death of Keyzer 4, the younger brother of Cornelis de Houtman – Frederick, a soon-to-be famous linguist and astronomer – acted as the main pilot of the fleet and managed to cross the Indian Ocean almost straightway so as to reach the southern tip of Sumatra, then proceeded to the nearby west coast of Java. Hours only after their arrival on the shores of Banten, the Dutch – who could master neither Malay, nor Javanese, nor Arabic – were welcomed on behalf of the Regent of the city by “six Portuguese [traders] and their slaves”.

Het bedrijf dat in 1602 werd opgericht was uniek voor zijn tijd in omvang en financiering. Mede daarom is de VOC een ontzettend geliefd onderzoeksthema voor veel historici, economen en wetenschappers uit binnen- en buitenland. De VOC wordt over het algemeen gezien als zowel een handelsbedrijf als een middel van de Republiek om haar politieke doelen na te streven, vooral in de oorlog tegen het Spaanse rijk. Welke van deze twee aspecten de VOC nou definieerde is een vraag die nog steeds vaak wordt gesteld.3 De Spanjaarden en de Portugezen (het Spaanse rijk) waren in de zestiende eeuw de grootste importeurs van peper en specerijen in Europa, en de kooplieden van de Republiek wilden ook munt uit deze handel slaan. Daarnaast was de Republiek in oorlog met Spanje, en de Staten-Generaal hoopten door middel van de VOC de oorlogslasten in Europa te verlichten.

  • Political Economy Origins of Financial Markets in Europe and Asia∗
    Political Economy Origins of Financial Markets in Europe and Asia∗ Svetlana Andrianova,† Panicos Demetriades,‡ and Chenggang Xu§ This version: January 7, 2008 Abstract. This paper contributes to the finance-growth literature by examining the political economy origins of some of the most successful financial markets in Europe and Asia. It provides historical evidence from London, Amsterdam and Hong Kong that highlights the essential role played by the government sector in kick-starting financial development. We show that the emergence of financial systems did not occur through laissez-faire approaches and that secure property rights alone were not sufficient for financial development. In the cases of London and Amster- dam, governments created large trade monopolies which were responsible for all the major financial innovations of the time. In the case of Hong Kong, where the financial development model was bank-based, large bank- ing monopolies with close links to the state were created. We argue, the three examples are not special cases and the role of government in the early stages of financial development has been widespread world-wide.
