Smith 2 To my mother, who generated my fascination for all things historical 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Jon Sensbach and Jessica Harland-Jacobs for their patience and edification throughout the entire writing process. I would also like to thank Ida Altman, Jack Davis, and Richmond Brown for holding my feet to the path and making me a better historian. I owe a special debt to Jim Cusack, John Nemmers, and the rest of the staff at the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History and Special Collections at the University of Florida for introducing me to this topic and allowing me the freedom to haunt their facilities and guide me through so many stages of my research. I would be sorely remiss if I did not thank Steve Noll for his efforts in promoting the University of Florida’s history honors program, Phi Alpha Theta; without which I may never have met Jim Cusick. Most recently I have been humbled by the outpouring of appreciation and friendship from the wonderful people of St. Augustine, Florida, particularly the National Association of Colonial Dames, the ladies of the Women’s Exchange, and my colleagues at the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum and the First America Foundation, who have all become cherished advocates of this project.

L. Rev. 767 (2016).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal Articles by an authorized administrator of Digital Commons @ University at Buffalo School of Law. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ARTICLE BILLS OF ATTAINDER Matthew Steilen* ABSTRACT What are bills of attainder? The traditional view is that bills of attainder are legislation that punishes an individual without judicial process. The Bill of Attainder Clause in Article I, Section 9 prohibits the Congress from passing such bills. But what about the President? The traditional view would seem to rule out application of the Clause to the President (acting without Congress) and to executive agencies, since neither passes bills. This Article aims to bring historical evidence to bear on the question of the scope of the Bill of Attainder Clause. The argument of the Article is that bills of attainder are best understood as a summary form of legal process, rather than a legislative act. This argument is based on a detailed historical reconstruction of English and early American practices, beginning with a study of the medieval Parliament rolls, year books, and other late medieval English texts, and early modern parliamentary diaries and journals covering the attainders of Elizabeth Barton under Henry VIII and Thomas Wentworth, earl of Strafford, under Charles I.

    • > XVIII CENTURY t > Catalogue of Eighteenth Century iWe^otint0 On Exhibition at the Galleries ofMts&xz. J¥l Unoeito & Co, 3SS Fifth Avenue, New York. December igio r HE finest reproductions in black and white ever produced were those made by the XVIII century mezzotint engravers or more properly "Scrapers". Their work translated the tones and values of the orig­ inals so perfectly that one even feels their color. To arrive at this result it required more than the ordinary mechani­ cal skill; they could not make use of a photograph, as they do to-day to assist them, for this process had not then been discovered. The increasing demand and consequent diminished supply of fine impressions has made it almost as difficult to procure certain examples as it is to secure the original paintings. NOTE—First impressions, Artists Proofs, number of­ ten less than 30 perfect copies, owing to the softness of the copper plates. In this epoch they were not steel faced; the discovery not being made until the early part of the XIX century. The exhibition we now have comprises many rare and beautiful impressions, impressions which one seldom sees outside of Museums, among them are duplicates fiom the British Museum Collection which we have been most fortunate in securing. The prices asked are such as they command in England and the continent. Someone very wisely remarked, "It is not the price, it is the being able to get the rare work".

  • The Capability of Sailing Warships: Manoeuvrability Sam Willis
    The Capability of Sailing Warships: Manoeuvrability Sam Willis Dans cet article, S.B.A. Willis continue à faire son enquête sur le potentiel des navires de guerre à voile en réfléchissant à la question de la manière de manœuvrer. En faisant référence à des sources contemporaines, l'auteur considère les aspects significatifs de la performance d'un navire de guerre à voile que jusqu 'à présent les historiens de la navigation de guerre ont négligés ou ont mal compris. Part 1 of this article warned of the inherent dangers of accepting an easily digestible and simplistic vision of sailing capability and explained in some detail the practicalities of making ground to windward in a sailing warship. An incapacity to make ground to windward was not, however, the only significant characteristic of wind dependence. Unfortunately, very few historians of sailing warfare have considered sailing warship capability beyond the question of windward performance, and there remains much of significance that is not widely known. With our accepted understanding so dominated by the question of windward performance, it has been all too easy to associate negative connotations with the broader question of sailing warship capability. It is, furthermore, a sad fact that the only characteristics of sailing warship capability that are generally understood are those that are based on a superficial comparison with steamships. A steamship has an engine that provides head or sternway and a rudder that controls lateral movement. Maritime historians have repeatedly used this template to understand the sailing ship, simply regarding the sailing rig as the direct equivalent of the engine.

It explores a number of trajectories embarked upon by Boydell and his artists in their collective attempt to promote an English aesthetic. It broadly argues that the Shakespeare Gallery offered an antidote to a variety of perceived problems which had emerged at the Royal Academy over the previous twenty years, defining itself against Academic theory and practice. Identifying and examining the cluster of spatial, ideological and aesthetic concerns which characterised the Shakespeare Gallery, my research suggests that the Gallery promoted a vision for a national art form which corresponded to contemporary senses of English cultural and political identity, and takes issue with current art-historical perceptions about the 'failure' of Boydell's scheme. The introduction maps out some of the existing scholarship in this area and exposes the gaps which art historians have previously left in our understanding of the Shakespeare Gallery.
