Durch die Liebenswürdigkeit des Herrn Dr. Penther erhielt ich zwei Exemplare von Eurypelma rubropilosa Auss. aus der Sammlung des naturhistorischen Museums zu Wien. Herr Dr. E. Hesse (Berlin), überließ mir gütigst ein Exemplar von Pterinochilus murinus Pocock. So konnte ich feststellen, daß die Gelenke tetrapneumoner Spinnen in allen wesentlichen Teilen mit denen der Dipneumones übereinstimmen. Die Coxen bilden mit dem Rumpfe ein unechtes Gelenk. Sie inserieren mit einer schmalen, ringförmigen Gelenkhaut, die nirgends durch einen Kondylus unterbrochen ist. Die Rumpfgelenke der Agaleniden Tegenaria und Coelotes sind ganz ähnlich gebaut. Die Coxa hat zwar eine pfannenartige Bildung, aber das Sternum trägt keinen Vorsprung, der den Gelenkkopf dazu bilden könnte. Bei Trochosa terricola Thor., Pirata piscatorius (Clerck) und Lycosa tarsalis Thor, fand ich ähnliche Verhältnisse, nur war die Pfanlie viel schärfer ausgeprägt. Im Gegen- satz dazu besitzen Clubiona pallidula Clerck und Cl. caerulescens L. Koch am Sternum spitze Vorsprünge, die in die Pfanne der Coxa eingreifen. Dasselbe ist bei den Dysderiden Harpactes lepidus C. L. Koch und Segestria senoculata Lin. der Fall. Am stärksten fand ich dies Gelenk bei Dysdera ausgeprägt. Ich werde dies alles in einem besonderen Aufsatze mit Abbildungen klarlegen.

Ideas, transfers, circles, attitudes, practices Christophe Madelein The papers in this issue of De Achttiende Eeuw were presented at a conference organized in Ghent on 22 and 23 January 2010 by the Werkgroep Achttiende Eeuw and called Enlightenment? Ideas, transfers, circles, attitudes, practices. Its starting point was the persistent political and public interest in the classic question ‘What is Enlightenment?’ It is a question that has riddled scholars from the late Enlightenment itself to the late twentieth century, and, indeed, our own day. Kant famously defined Enlightenment as mankind's emergence from self-imposed Unmündigkeit1, while his contemporary Moses Mendelssohn - in a very similar vein - stressed the search for knowledge as a defining characteristic.2 Closer to our own times Michel Foucault suggested - again, not all that differently from Kant's and Mendelssohn's interpretations - that we may envisage modernity, which he sees as the attempt to answer the famous question, as an attitude rather than as a period of history.3 Modernity, in this sense, is accompanied by a feeling of novelty and, more importantly, Enlightenment entails a permanent critique of our historical era. This critical attitude is expressed in a series of practices that are analysed along three axes: the axis of knowledge, the axis of power, the axis of ethics.

  • A Maritime History of the Port of Whitby, 1700-1914
    A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY, 1700-1914 - Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London STEPHANIE KAREN JONES UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1982 2 A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY, 1700-1914 ABSTRACT This study attempts to contribute to the history of merchant shipping in a manner suggested by Ralph Davis, that 'the writing of substantial histories of the ports' was a neglected, but important, part of the subject of British maritime history. Rspects of the shipping industry of the port of Whitby fall into three broad categories: the ships of Whitby, built there and owned there; the trades in which these vessels were employed; and the port itself, its harbour facilities and maritime community. The origins of Whitby shipbuilding are seen in the context of the rise to prominence of the ports of the North East coast, and an attempt is made to quantify the shipping owned at Whitby before the beginning of statutory registration of vessels in 1786. A consideration of the decline of the building and owning of sailing ships at Whitby is followed by an analysis of the rise of steamshipping at the port. The nature of investment in shipping at Whitby is compared with features of shipowning at other English ports. An introductory survey of the employ- ment of Whitby-owned vessels, both sail and steam, precedes a study of Whitby ships in the coal trade, illustrated with examples of voyage accounts of Whitby colliers. The Northern Whale Fishery offered further opportunities for profit, and may be contrasted with the inshore and off - shore fishery from Whitby itself.

It was during the 19th, century, however, that Sunderland shipyards flourished. These were located mainly around the Sands area of Wearside. North Sands was the most densely populated in terms of number of yards. By 1840 there were 76 shipyards along the Sands at Sunderland. By the mid-1850s the local newspaper, The Sunderland Herald, was acclaiming Sunderland as “the greatest shipbuilding port in the world,” with around 3,000 ships a year being built. Most were sailing ships. But the number of steam-powered ships was increasing. The last sailing ship to come out of the Sunderland yards was in 1893.
