  • Integration Processes of Italian Immigrants in the Republic of Nobles
    Odrodzenie i Reformacja w Polsce PL ISSN 0029‑8514 Special Issue Wojciech Tygielski (Warszawa) Together or Apart? Integration Processes of Italian Immigrants in the Republic of Nobles There has been quite a lot written on activities of the Italians in the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth. We have many facts about the lives and achievements of many outstanding figures, especially art‑ ists (architects and builders, musicians, people of theatre) as well as merchants and enterprisers. And despite all that, the phenomenon of Italian immigration to the territory of the Polish‑Lithuanian state seems to have been insufficiently examined – both from the perspective of Italian motivations and extent of fulfilment of their life plans related to Poland, and from the perspective of consequences of the Italian presence for the old Polish society – both in the sphere of culture and politics, and economy. Thus, a relative advancement of studies is accompanied by an ignorance (generally, although not always, being a consequence of scarcity of sources) in fundamental questions – a number of Italian immigrants and chronology of their arrival to Poland, their professional structure, and their territorial settlement, especially outside big cities. There is a need for further studies exploring the goals set by individuals belonging to this very diverse community, and assessing the extent to which they were fulfilled. First and foremost, however, it is the scale of impact those Italian ar‑ rivals had on various factions and communities of the old‑Polish society. The whole picture of this process will be very difficult to reconstruct. Before I attempt to do so, I would like to present a few remarks and doubts about the level of their integration and possible group solidarity that characterised the Italian minority in the Commonwealth.

  • The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.

DOI: 5 The Clergy at the Courts of George I and George II STEPHEN TAYLOR In the years between the Reformation and the revolution of 1688 the court lay at the very heart of English religious life. Court bishops played an important role as royal councillors in matters concerning both church and commonwealth. 1 Royal chaplaincies were sought after, both as important steps on the road of prefer- ment and as positions from which to influence religious policy.2 Printed court sermons were a prominent literary genre, providing not least an important forum for debate about the nature and character of the English Reformation.

  • The Bishop of London, Colonialism and Transatlantic Slavery
    The Bishop of London, colonialism and transatlantic slavery: Research brief for a temporary exhibition, spring 2022 and information to input into permanent displays Introduction Fulham Palace is one of the earliest and most intriguing historic powerhouses situated alongside the Thames and the last one to be fully restored. It dates back to 704AD and for over thirteen centuries was owned by the Bishop of London. The Palace site is of exceptional archaeological interest and has been a scheduled monument since 1976. The buildings are listed as Grade I and II. The 13 acres of botanical gardens, with plant specimens introduced here from all over the world in the late 17th century, are Grade II* listed. Fulham Palace Trust has run the site since 2011. We are restoring it to its former glory so that we can fulfil our vision to engage people of all ages and from all walks of life with the many benefits the Palace and gardens have to offer. Our site-wide interpretation, inspired learning and engagement programmes, and richly-textured exhibitions reveal insights, through the individual stories of the Bishops of London, into over 1,300 years of English history. In 2019 we completed a £3.8m capital project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, to restore and renew the historic house and garden. The Trust opens the Palace and gardens seven days a week free of charge. In 2019/20 we welcomed 340,000 visitors. We manage a museum, café, an award-winning schools programme (engaging over 5,640 pupils annually) and we stage a wide range of cultural events.

  • Utilitarianism in the Age of Enlightenment
    UTILITARIANISM IN THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT This is the first book-length study of one of the most influential traditions in eighteenth-century Anglophone moral and political thought, ‘theological utilitarianism’. Niall O’Flaherty charts its devel- opment from its formulation by Anglican disciples of Locke in the 1730s to its culmination in William Paley’s work. Few works of moral and political thought had such a profound impact on political dis- course as Paley’s Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy (1785). His arguments were at the forefront of debates about the constitution, the judicial system, slavery and poverty. By placing Paley’s moral thought in the context of theological debate, this book establishes his genuine commitment to a worldly theology and to a programme of human advancement. It thus raises serious doubts about histories which treat the Enlightenment as an entirely secular enterprise, as well as those which see English thought as being markedly out of step with wider European intellectual developments. niall o’flaherty is a Lecturer in the History of European Political Thought at King’s College London. His research focuses on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century moral, political and religious thought in Britain. He has published articles on William Paley and Thomas Robert Malthus, and is currently writing a book entitled Malthus and the Discovery of Poverty. ideas in context Edited by David Armitage, Richard Bourke, Jennifer Pitts and John Robertson The books in this series will discuss the emergence of intellectual traditions and of related new disciplines. The procedures, aims and vocabularies that were generated will be set in the context of the alternatives available within the contemporary frameworks of ideas and institutions.

  • Theoretical Physics in Poland Before 1939*
    THEORETICAL PHYSICS IN POLAND BEFORE 1939* 1. INTRODUCTION Science, and in particular the exact sciences, is not a part of culture easily accessible to people outside a small group of experts in the given field. There is, however, at least one aspect of science - which seems not to be always duly appreciated - that can be found equally interesting and worthy of attention by both specialists and non-specialists, scientists and non-scientists. It is the history of science, of scientific institutions and of the people of science. The main goal of this work is to describe the genesis and development of theoretical physics in Poland till 1939. In the sketch presented here I begin by recalling the history of physics as a whole in Poland up to the moment when theoretical physics became a distinct field. This happened in the late 19th century. From that moment on I will focus only on theoretical physics. On its substance, I find it reasonable to split the history of physics in Poland before 1939 into the following periods: - first: up to the establishment of the Commission for National Education; - second: up to the end of the 19th century; - third: up to World War II. It is probably no coincidence that the abovementioned stages correspond roughly to the stages we find in the history of science, and of physics in particular, in the rest of the world. One may say that the first period is that of the origins of modern physics as an empirical and rational science, crowned by the works of Newton and their development in the 18th century.
