The foremost of these was the chair of this dissertation, Paul Cheney, who saw the merit in an unfashionable topic and who expressed that opinion in no uncertain terms, which sustained me when the going was tough. Paul’s good-humored and generous advice, not to mention his well-judged criticism, encouraged my growing confidence in a methodological approach that matched my skills with the sources I found, and his exacting standards in lucid writing and presentation were essential not only to the development of my argument, but in my successful applications for research funding. I was very fortunate to have had Paul as a teacher and then as chair, and I am very glad that I managed to impress him, once or twice. I was also fortunate that Paul and the other members of my committee - Jan Goldstein, Fredrik Albritton Jonsson, and Robert Morrissey - made it their practice to raise issues that I had been unable to resolve (a typically innocuous example being, “What’s religious about church investment?”). Addressing such problems helped turn apparent contradictions in the evidence into breakthroughs, and so was the best thing the committee could have done for this project. In addition, there were many other occasions when the committee provided advice and practical help during my time at Chicago, from classes and seminars, to orals preparation, to teaching, and throughout my work on this dissertation. My thanks also go to the organizers and members of the Modern France Workshop, and particularly to Bill Sewell, for their careful and acute questions, commentary, and recommendations on my draft chapters, which I drew on to improve my work. ix My life at Chicago relied on academic support that began long before I got there. At DePaul University, Roshanna Sylvester and Valentina Tikoff of the History Department, and Andrew Suozzo and Pascale-Anne Brault of the French Department, provided me with a rigorous and ambitious foundation in literature, investigation, analysis, argument, and writing. As my dissertation progressed, Simone Zurawski and Dr. Edward Udovic of the Vincentian Studies Institute both encouraged my project and provided financial support for my research in France. Once in Chicago, Bernard Wasserstein gave me my first teaching experience and many other lessons. Comradeship mattered too: the work and much needed wit, diversion, and friendship of my fellow graduate students – Emily Marker, Elisa Jones, Tyson Leuchter, Emily Fransee, and Eleanor Rivera - encouraged me when things seemed to go awry. Sonja Rusnak and David Goodwine of the History Department and Brett Baker of the Division of the Social Sciences were ever helpful in keeping me on the right side of the administrative law. I benefitted from an Eric Cochrane Travel Grant during my research, and I was honored with a Markowitz Fellowship from the Division of the Social Sciences to help complete this dissertation. My thanks are due to the France Chicago Center, which supported my archival research through the Chicago Exchange Fellowship with the Ecole des Hautes Etudes, Paris, in 2012 and in 2014. On both occasions, Gérard Béaur very kindly acted as my sponsor at the Ecole and welcomed into his seminar on the Histoire économique et sociale des campagnes, where I presented my first findings, and through which I met Tim Le Goff, who encouraged me in my methodological ambitions. Loïc Charles and Arnauld Orain gave me the honor of presenting at a journée d’études at which I had the singular experience of directly criticizing an opinion of Steven Kaplan, as he sat opposite me (we both survived). I was glad of the comforts of the Chicago Center in Paris, including the student workshop, the advice of Arnaud Coulombel, and x the practical help of Sébastien Greppo, and I am grateful for other scholars who were kind enough to help with my project, notably Gilles Postel-Vinay and Jacob Soll. Lastly, and unforgettably, my time in Paris was rounded off by the welcome accorded by Thibaut Sainte- Beuve, proprietor of the farm of Belloy-en-France, who one sunny June day took the time to show me around the magnificent eighteenth-century farmyard whose archival traces had become central to my dissertation. In the end, though, none of this plentiful academic support would have mattered without the love of my family, my mother, Peg, my late father, John, and - above all – that of my long- suffering partner and now husband, James O’Toole. James enabled me to pursue my dream of going back to school to take up the work that I was most suited for. Very few people get such a second chance, and very few are lucky to enjoy support of the kind that I enjoyed from James, who kept me going when running away seemed the best option, and for whom this dissertation is dedicated as a small token of my love and gratitude. xi Abstract THE CATHOLIC AGRICULTURAL ENLIGHTENMENT IN FRANCE This dissertation helps explain how and why agriculture escaped its Malthusian structures through the practices of the ecclesiastical proprietors that owned the most productive land around Paris in late ancien régime France. It shows how a confluence of agricultural, social, religious, intellectual, and political factors enabled and encouraged clerics, armed with unique corporate advantages, to build a partnership with tenants that was among the most dynamic in the late ancien régime economy.

  • Cantillon and the Rise of Anti-Mercantilism
    CANTILLON AND THE RISE OF ANTI-MERCANTILISM MARK THORNTON* Resumen: En este trabajo se pretende demostrar que Cantillon formó parte tanto del pensamiento como del movimiento antimercantilista de su época, influyendo en gran medida en el cambio de opinión en contra del mercantilismo que se fue fraguando de 1720 a 1734. Clasificación JEL: B110, B31, N010. Abstract: This article places Cantillon at the center of anti-mercantilist thought and the anti-mercantilist movements in London and Paris between the time of the Bubbles of 1720 and his murder in 1734 and it places his ideas at the turning point between the eras of mercantilism and antimercantilism. JEL classification: B110, B31, N010. «It seems to me that there is a connection between physiocracy and anti-mercantilism, or at any rate between Boisguilbert (1646-1714) and Quesnay (1694-1774), though it is not easy to say just what this connection was.» Martin Wolfe1 «In itself Cantillon’s (168?-1734?) was a contribution of real significance, and it would be difficult to find a more incisive prophet of nineteenth-century liberalism.» Robert B.

Almstrom Department nf French The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date September 6, 1968 ABSTRACT Almost two centuries have passed since the publication began, in 1777» of the Memoires secrets de Bachaumont. This journal, regarded by many as the mirror of its age, was the outgrowth of a unique and highly successful experiment in group journalism undertaken by the cultured and aristocratic members of an almost-forgotten salon, the paroisse of Madame Doublet. Despite its acknowledged value to students of the Ancien Regime, few studies have been made of this lengthy and complex work. This thesis examines a limited aspect of the Memoires secrets: the literary criticism found in the first five of the thirty-six volumes together with that in the corresponding supplements for the years 1762-1771.

Banks as accelerators of the circulation of money Laurent LE MAUX* February 2015 The money multiplier approach asserts that banks are unique in that they implement a creation of money, while the finance approach regards banking institutions as financial intermediaries among others. In retrospect, Cantillon’s Essai stands between these two extreme approaches. It both challenges the money multiplier approach and grants to banks a significant monetary role. The aim of the paper is to clarify Cantillon’s theoretical propositions on bank issuing of debts convertible on demand into money at face value and to explore further the proposition according to which banks contribute to accelerating the circulation of money. During the last century, the quantity theory, Old view, and monetarism developed the money multiplier approach and maintained that commercial banks are unique among financial institutions in that they increase the quantity of money at will, and, all things considered, act as creators of money (Fisher, 1911; Friedman, 1959; Pesek and Saving, 1968).

  • Fiestas and Fervor: Religious Life and Catholic Enlightenment in the Diocese of Barcelona, 1766-1775
    FIESTAS AND FERVOR: RELIGIOUS LIFE AND CATHOLIC ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE DIOCESE OF BARCELONA, 1766-1775 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrea J. Smidt, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Dale K. Van Kley, Adviser Professor N. Geoffrey Parker Professor Kenneth J. Andrien ____________________ Adviser History Graduate Program ABSTRACT The Enlightenment, or the "Age of Reason," had a profound impact on eighteenth-century Europe, especially on its religion, producing both outright atheism and powerful movements of religious reform within the Church. The former—culminating in the French Revolution—has attracted many scholars; the latter has been relatively neglected. By looking at "enlightened" attempts to reform popular religious practices in Spain, my project examines the religious fervor of people whose story usually escapes historical attention. "Fiestas and Fervor" reveals the capacity of the Enlightenment to reform the Catholicism of ordinary Spaniards, examining how enlightened or Reform Catholicism affected popular piety in the diocese of Barcelona. This study focuses on the efforts of an exceptional figure of Reform Catholicism and Enlightenment Spain—Josep Climent i Avinent, Bishop of Barcelona from 1766- 1775. The program of “Enlightenment” as sponsored by the Spanish monarchy was one that did not question the Catholic faith and that championed economic progress and the advancement of the sciences, primarily benefiting the elite of Spanish society. In this context, Climent is noteworthy not only because his idea of “Catholic Enlightenment” opposed that sponsored by the Spanish monarchy but also because his was one that implicitly condemned the present hierarchy of the Catholic Church and explicitly ii advocated popular enlightenment and the creation of a more independent “public sphere” in Spain by means of increased literacy and education of the masses.

RÉSUMÉ Après son illustre aïeul louis Xiv, à qui l’on doit avec richelieu et Colbert la création de la royale, louis Xvi, passionné de géographie, apparaît comme le roi de France le plus investi dans le domaine de la mer. S’appuyant sur la collaboration permanente et directe de deux ministres d’exception, Sartine et Castries, il octroie à la marine des moyens financiers sans précédents permettant de parachever l’œuvre de rénovation entreprise par Choiseul à la fin du règne de louis Xv. Après l’humi- liant traité de Paris (1763) qui consacrait la dislocation de son empire colonial,Royal la NavyFrance retrouve une marine lui permettant de rivaliser et parfois de vaincre la britannique. la royale va s’illustrer avec Suffren dans l’océan indien mais plus encore dans l’océan atlantique où avec d’estaing et surtout de Grasse elle contribuera de manière décisive à l’indépendance des etats-unis d’Amérique. louis Xvi (fig. 1), né en 1754 en plein “Siècle des lumières” n’est pas programmé à sa naissance pour accéder au trône de France.
