PICKERING & CHATTO WOMEN an Occasional List PICKERING & CHATTO WOMEN An Occasional List P ICKERING & C HATTO 1 [ABINGER, Lila, Lady]. ORIGINAL ARCHIVE, including upwards of 500 Autograph letters, Documents, Newspaper Cuttings & various other Ephemera. [Various Places] [c.1895-1927]. £ 2,500 A fascinating archive of an English aristocrat at a time of great change, this collection of more than 500 letters, cuttings, and papers documents the life of Lila, Lady Abinger (1867-1941). Lila was the daughter of Sir William White, and married Shelley Scarlett, 5th Baron Abinger in 1899. As was common among ladies of her class, she had, in the years leading up to the Great War, involved herself in much charity and voluntary work; the present archive includes correspondence relating to her role as the President of the Hampshire Imperial Service College and the British Women’s Patriotic League, and Vice-President of the Girl Guides’ Association, while also documenting her support for the Central Bureau for the Employment of Women and the Anti-Socialist Union of Great Britain, among other organisations. From 1909 onwards, she was a member of the predecessor of today’s Queen’s Nursing Institute, but on the outbreak of war, she worked for the Voluntary Aid Detachment. On the death, from a heart attack, of her husband in 1917, she decided to take a more hands-on role, and work for the French Red Cross at the Hospital Militaire, 23 Montmirail before transferring to Ambulance 5/66 in 1918. The papers show the incredible bureaucracy that the War had created, partly increased by the naïvety of Lady Abinger, which is revealed in her correspondence with the French Red Cross. ‘I am afraid you will have to obtain new photographs as the Authorities are strict as to the question of their being full face and taken without a hat.’ ‘As Montmirail is in the Zone of the Armies, it will be necessary for the Médecin-Chef to apply to M. Piessac, 7th direction, Minitère de la Guerre, Paris with the request that the authorization for you to enter the Zone may be telegraphed to the French Embassy in London.’ ‘With regard to taking a dog to France, there is usually considerable difficulty…’ though the whole process took from September 1917 until March 1918 before she set foot in France. A similar bureaucracy was encountered on coming back from France after the Armistice and ‘it was quite impossible for me the grant a visa to your femme de ménage to accompany you to England.’ Included are various passes and identification documents to get her through France. After the war, she married a Frenchman and moved to the French village in which she had served. She seems to have cut her ties with the Abinger family for a while, although later correspondence shows she started to reuse her title Lady Abinger again. Many of the papers included her document her move to France, the transport of furniture and the sale of her belongings through Sotheby’s and Christies; there is even a correspondence over a claim against Lady Abinger by Schneider & Amelang through The Clearing Office (Enemy Debts) over an unpaid invoice from 31st January 1914 for copies of the Almanach de Gotha that was only settled in 1921 together with 5% interest. Being bought before hostilities, the Versailles Treaty allowed for their settlement. More ‘Liaisons Dangereuses’ 2 [ANON].

Two volumes bound in one, 12mo, pp. [ii], 187, [1] blank; [iv], 287, [1] blank; without the half-title to first part; some minor light foxing and marking in places, otherwise clean; uncut in the original publisher’s boards, spine with remains of paper label titled in ink, some surface wear and rubbing to extremities, but still a good copy. Published five years after Les Liaisons dangereuses, whose influence is 1 P ICKERING & C HATTO acknowledged in the subtitle, this epistolary novel proceeds along similar lines, while moving between Parisian townhouses and country chateaux. Full of revenge, kidnap, and misrepresentations, the plot deals less with the calculated war of Laclos’ novel than with various skirmishes between the sexes, described with great vigour and archness by the anonymous author. Claudine Brécourt-Villars, who edited the text for a new edition in 2012, suggests that the novel may be the work of Jean-Pierre Luchet (1740-1792), a journalist, essayist, theatre director, and friend of Voltaire. A second edition appeared in 1788. OCLC records three copies only, at Göttingen, Augsburg and the BNF. 3 [ANON]. LETTRES D’UNE DAME ANGLOISE, et de son amie a Paris, contenant les memoires de madame Williams. Premiere [- seconde] partie. A Londres, MDCCLXXI [ 1771]. £ 450 FIRST LONDRES EDITION. Two volumes, 8vo, pp. [ii], 236; [viii], 312; with woodcut title vignettes and headpieces; some foxing in places, but generally clean and fresh; in contemporary mottled calf, spines tooled in gilt with titles lettered in gilt; some light bumping to corners and extremities, but a good copy. First Londres edition of this translation of Letters between an English lady and her friend at Paris, which first appeared in English in 1770, and is sometimes, rather implausibly, attributed to the (eight-year-old) Helen Maria Williams. The novel was very quickly translated into French, first appearing in Amsterdam in 1770, before the present printing appeared in 1771; we find an exchange of letters between the (fictitious) Charlotte Williams and Mlle Adelaide d’Angeville. “This psychologically powerful novel is as memorable and affecting in its own way as Mrs Inchbald’s A Simple Story. The story of a father’s partiality and a mother’s jealousy, the sense that it offers of the vulnerability and confusion of the daughter in this situation, is acute and realistic” (Perry, p. 104).

    Russian Military Culture during the Reigns of Catherine II and Paul I, 1762-1801 by Eugene Miakinkov A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©Eugene Miakinkov, 2015 Abstract This study explores the shape and development of military culture during the reign of Catherine II. Next to the institutions of the autocracy and the Orthodox Church, the military occupied the most important position in imperial Russia, especially in the eighteenth century. Rather than analyzing the military as an institution or a fighting force, this dissertation uses the tools of cultural history to explore its attitudes, values, aspirations, tensions, and beliefs. Patronage and education served to introduce a generation of young nobles to the world of the military culture, and expose it to its values of respect, hierarchy, subordination, but also the importance of professional knowledge. Merit is a crucial component in any military, and Catherine’s military culture had to resolve the tensions between the idea of meritocracy and seniority. All of the above ideas and dilemmas were expressed in a number of military texts that began to appear during Catherine’s reign. It was during that time that the military culture acquired the cultural, political, and intellectual space to develop – a space I label the “military public sphere”. This development was most clearly evident in the publication, by Russian authors, of a range of military literature for the first time in this era. The military culture was also reflected in the symbolic means used by the senior commanders to convey and reinforce its values in the army.

Montano, 1 - 37131 VERONA Tel. 0039/329/0274315 - 0039/347/3603084 0039/45/520859 - 0039/45/8403819 www.traditio.it - E-mail: [email protected] VERONESE EASTERS The Verona rising against Napoleon (April 17-25, 1797) The Veronese Easters , like the Sicilian Vespers , is the name for the general insurrection in Verona and its surrounding country, on April 17, 1797: Easter Monday. Among the innumerable risings from 1796 to 1814 which swept through Italy and Europe occupied by Bonaparte, and which expressed the rejection by the people of the false principles of the French Revolution, imposed by bayonets, the insurrection of Verona was certainly the most important in Italy, after the Saint Faith’s Crusade in 1799, by which Cardinal Fabrizio Ruffo of Calabria and the farmers of the south regained a whole Kingdom for the Bourbons of Naples. 1. Verona and the Serenissima Republic before the Revolution The Revolutionary France, drunk with the massacres of the Terror, ventured into a series of wars against the other European powers after killing the legitimate sovereign, Louis XVI, exterminating his family, causing the death of the Dauphin at the age of ten in the Temple Tower jail, demolishing the monarchy, persecuting worship and the Catholic religion. The revolutionary hordes, led by the darkest anticlerical sects, above all the Masons, were anxious to export hatred against the Church all over the world and upset the traditional sacred Institutions both civil and religious to which the people were deeply attached. The Italian States and the aristocratic Republic of Venice were then unfortunately experiencing a sad moral decline: a large part of the patrician ship, a shadow of that which had faced and beaten the Turks so many times, was infiltrated by the libertarian and libertine principles of the French Revolution.

  • The Heyder Family
    The Heyder Family Chapter IV THE SIX EARLIEST GENERATIONS AT LAUBEN, LEUTKIRCH, & RAVENSBURG 1311 - 1489. (Genealogical Tables I and II) From early in the 14th Century onward there was increased migration from territory which is now in Switzerland, into Swabian territory on the N. aide of Lake Constance. Whether members of the Haider family first arrived at Lauben during that period, or whether they had been established there from very much earlier times, must remain unproven. But, by a happy combination of chances, in particular the exceptionally good state of preservation of the Town Archives of Leutkirch, and the finding of documents at Ravensburg which yielded valuable supplementary information, it has been found possible to trace back the genealogy of the Haider family without a single break from the year 1311 to the present day, a subject for satisfaction available to very few families. The earliest recorded ancestor is HAINRICUS dictus HAIDER who is witness to a document signed at Ravensburg on 2nd July 1311. His son HAINZ HAIDER received Burgher Rights at Ravensburg in the year 1339, when he is described as "ex Luben". Hainz Haider therefore was already settled at Lauben prior to the date when that farm was sold by the Abbey of Bregenz to Conrad Itter, Burgher of Leutkirch, 26th December 1346, as mentioned in the preceding Chapter. His son CONRAD II (Conz) appears to have married a Lisa Goisz in the year 1361, and he also received Burgher Rights at Ravensburg, like his father. He was succeeded by three sons, HANS I PETER CONRAD III.

    GEORG B. MICHELS Az 1674. évi pozsonyi prédikátorper történetéhez Protestáns lelkipásztorok harca az erőszakos ellenreformációval szemben* A Magyar Királyság több mint hétszáz protestáns prédikátora és tanítója kapott idézést 1674 elején Pozsonyba, ahol egy rendkívüli törvényszék előtt lázadásért kellett felelniük.1 Súlyos vádakat fogalmaz- tak meg ellenük: állítólag a Habsburgok uralmának megdöntésére, a katolikus hit elpusztítására és a Magyar Királyságnak az Oszmán Birodalomhoz való csatlako- zására szólítottak fel. A per jegyzőkönyve szerint a felkelések fő értelmi szerzői és felbujtói voltak, továbbá szoros kapcsolatokat ápoltak a lázadókkal. Emellett kato- likusok ellen uszítottak, bálványimádóknak és pápista kutyáknak nevezték őket, és azok üldözésére, elűzésére, sőt meggyilkolásukra buzdítottak. Ezenkívül segítségül hívták az oszmánokat, és arról győzködték gyülekezeteiket, hogy „inkább a török adónak vessék alá magukat, mintsem Őfelsége uralma alatt maradjanak”.2 A 19. századtól kezdve a kutatások középpontjában a magyar protestáns pap- ság tragikus sorsa állt. A per menetét és a protestáns papok kemény büntetését számos publikáció dolgozta fel. Ezek rámutattak arra, hogy a per kimenetelét már előre eldöntötték, a lelkészeket pedig bebörtönzéssel, testi kínzással és kivégzéssel való fenyegetéssel módszeresen megfélemlítették, hogy bűnösnek vallják magu- kat. Közel egyévnyi megaláztatást követően csak a lelkészek kisebbsége maradt állhatatos. Negyvenkettőt közülük gályarabságra ítéltek. A többség azonban aláír- ta a reverzálisokat, és Németországba, Hollandiába és Svájcba ment száműzetés- be.3 Ezek a traumatikus élmények – különösen a gályarabok sorsa – mind a mai napig jelentősen befolyásolják a magyarországi protestánsok önképét, a pozsonyi * A cikk a Történettudományi Intézetben 2011. július 19-én tartott előadásomon alapul. Ezúton sze- retnék köszönetet mondani Péter Katalinnak, Pók Attilának és Szántay Antalnak tanulságos meg- jegyzéseikért. Köszönöm továbbá fordítóm, Ress László alapos munkáját.
