BAHAR Norman, Oklahoma 2012 “THE SEA OF TROUBLE WE ARE SWIMMING IN”: PEOPLE OF THE DAWNLAND AND THE ENDURING PURSUIT OF A NATIVE ATLANTIC WORLD A DISSERTATION APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY ______________________________ Dr. Joshua A. Piker, Chair ______________________________ Dr. Catherine E. Kelly ______________________________ Dr. James S. Hart, Jr. ______________________________ Dr. Gary C. Anderson ______________________________ Dr. Karl H. Offen © Copyright by MATTHEW R. BAHAR 2012 All Rights Reserved. For Allison Acknowledgements Crafting this dissertation, like the overall experience of graduate school, occasionally left me adrift at sea. At other times it saw me stuck in the doldrums. Periodically I was tossed around by tempestuous waves. But two beacons always pointed me to quiet harbors where I gained valuable insights, developed new perspectives, and acquired new momentum. My advisor and mentor, Josh Piker, has been incredibly generous with his time, ideas, advice, and encouragement. His constructive critique of my thoughts, methodology, and writing (I never realized I was prone to so many split infinitives and unclear antecedents) was a tremendous help to a graduate student beginning his career. In more ways than he probably knows, he remains for me an exemplar of the professional historian I hope to become. And as a barbecue connoisseur, he is particularly worthy of deference and emulation.

  • BRITISH MONETARY SYSTEM (For Calculations Contained Within the Roseboom Books)
    BRITISH MONETARY SYSTEM (for calculations contained within the Roseboom Books): Given: Pound (£). Shilling (s) – 20 shillings = 1 pound. Pence (d) – 12 pence = 1 shilling. 240 pence = 1 pound. Farthing (f) – 4 farthings = 1 pence. 48 farthings = 1 shilling. 960 farthings = 1 pound. The Roseboom Books, when recording account information, usually have three (3) columns representing Pounds, Shillings, and Pence. For example: £ s d One widget 3 2 1 This would be pronounced: “three pounds, two, & one” (representing three pounds, two shillings, and 1 pence. In some instances when recording money outside of the three column format and when pounds are not listed the 18th century format of 6/3 is used. This would be pronounced: “six and three (representing six shillings and three pence. It is important to remember that 13 pence = 1 shilling and 1 pence; and 21 shillings = 1 pound and 1 shilling1. A calculation example using the above is as follows: 115 Gal’s of Rum @ 3/4 = 19 Pounds, 3 Shillings, 4 Pence Step 1: Gal’s X’s shillings 1 One pound and one shilling is also represented by a coin known as a guinea. For our calculation purposes, however, we won’t concern ourselves with the Guinea. The Guinea is a gold coin, originally made of gold from the Guinea coast of Africa. The Guinea came into existence in 1663, under Charles II; when first issued they were worth one pound, or twenty shillings. The value of the guinea had fluctuated over the years from 20 to 30 shillings. A Royal Proclamation of September 1717 fixed the value of the guinea at 21 shillings.

  • Notes on British Money of Adam Smith's Time
    K.D. Hoover Adam Smith and the System of Natural Liberty Revised, 15 November 2020 Notes on British Money of Adam Smith’s Time The official British monetary unit in Adam Smith’s time, as today, is the pound sterling. As its name implies it was originally a silver currency, but by the 1750s, Britain had adopted the gold standard. Until 1971, the pound was divided into 20 shillings, and each shilling was worth 12 pence, so that the pound was worth 240 pence. The standard symbol for pounds is £, usually written before the numerals (e.g., £130). Frequently, when subparts of pounds are included, pounds/shillings/pence are written l/s/d, usually written after the numerals (e.g., 4 pounds, 7 shillings, and 9 pence is written 4 l. 7s. 9d). While this seems like a complicated system to us who are used to the decimal system, it was a commonplace system in early modern Europe. Decimalization began with the French Revolution. Britain had little use for France, and so resisted longer than most other countries. In fact, the prime factors of 12 and 20 are more numerous than those of 10, so that, once one is used to it, the old system is not so hard for mental arithmetic. th In Smith’s time and through most of the 19 century, the pound sterling was defined by its gold value: 1 Troy ounce of gold = 3 l. 17s 10½d (the most common way of stating it) or, put 1 inversely, £1 = 0.2242 (i.e., 1 pound was worth between /5 and ¼) Troy ounce of gold.

  • Behold an Animal: Four Exorbitant Readings
    UC Irvine FlashPoints Title Behold an Animal: Four Exorbitant Readings Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0c7881t5 ISBN 978-0-8101-4071-4 Author Ravindranathan, Thangam Publication Date 2020-02-10 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Behold an Animal The FlashPoints series is devoted to books that consider literature beyond strictly national and disciplinary frameworks and that are distinguished both by their historical grounding and by their theoretical and conceptual strength. Our books engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with moments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how liter- ature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present. Series titles are available online at http://escholarship.org/uc/fl ashpoints. series editors: Ali Behdad (Comparative Literature and English, UCLA), Edi- tor Emeritus; Judith Butler (Rhetoric and Comparative Literature, UC Berkeley), Editor Emerita; Michelle Clayton (Hispanic Studies and Comparative Literature, Brown University); Edward Dimendberg (Film and Media Studies, Visual Studies, and European Languages and Studies, UC Irvine), Founding Editor; Catherine Gallagher (English, UC Berkeley), Editor Emerita; Nouri Gana (Comparative Lit- erature and Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, UCLA); Susan Gillman (Lit- erature, UC Santa Cruz), Coordinator; Jody Greene (Literature, UC Santa Cruz); Richard Terdiman (Literature, UC Santa Cruz), Founding Editor A complete list of titles begins on p. 254.
