  • Hans Sloane's a Voyage to Jamaica
    <title>Natural history collections and the book <sub-title>Hans Sloane’s A Voyage to Jamaica (1707-1725) and his Jamaican plants <running header> Natural history collections and the book Edwin D. Rose The Jamaican herbarium assembled by Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753) in 1687 formed a recorded part of his extensive museum collection from the 1730s until its purchase by the British state in 1753. The detailed examination of the organization of the botanical specimens which account for the first seven volumes of the Sloane herbarium illustrates the use of printed books in natural history collecting practices in mid-eighteenth-century Britain. Sloane’s personal copy of his own work, A Voyage to Jamaica (1707-25), played a central role in the cataloguing and classifying this highly organized natural historical collection. The collection was arranged according to a coherent, rational system, composed of a range of printed works, manuscripts and specimen labels which interacted with the physical spaces in which they were kept. IN 1687, Hans Sloane (1660-1753) journeyed to Jamaica as physician for James II’s newly appointed governor, the Duke of Albemarle. Following the wishes of John Ray (1627-1705), who had asked Sloane to ‘search out and examine thoroughly the natural varieties of that island [Jamaica]’,1 he returned to England in 1689 with a huge quantity of natural history specimens. Perhaps the best known of these are his collections of plants, pressed in seven volumes containing nearly 800 new species.2 These formed the basis for his magnum opus: A Voyage to the Islands Madera, Barbados, Nieves, S.

  • Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83747-7 - Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More information Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 England’s response to the Revolt of the Netherlands (1568–1648) has been studied hitherto mainly in terms of government policy, yet the Dutch struggle with Habsburg Spain affected a much wider commu- nity than just the English political elite. It attracted attention across Britain and drew not just statesmen and diplomats but also soldiers, merchants, religious refugees, journalists, travellers and students into the confl ict. Hugh Dunthorne draws on pamphlet literature to reveal how British contemporaries viewed the progress of their near neigh- bours’ rebellion, and assesses the lasting impact which the Revolt and the rise of the Dutch Republic had on Britain’s domestic history. The book explores affi nities between the Dutch Revolt and the British civil wars of the seventeenth century – the fi rst major challenges to royal authority in modern times – showing how much Britain’s chang- ing commercial, religious and political culture owed to the country’s involvement with events across the North Sea. HUGH DUNTHORNE specializes in the history of the early modern period, the Dutch revolt and the Dutch republic and empire, the his- tory of war, and the Enlightenment. He was formerly Senior Lecturer in History at Swansea University, and his previous publications include The Enlightenment (1991) and The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Britain and the Low Countries

  • “Refer to Folio and Number:” Encyclopedias, the Exchange
    Margócsy, Refer to Folio 1 “Refer to folio and number:” Encyclopedias, the Exchange of Curiosities and Practices of Identification before Linnaeus Dániel Margócsy Harvard University Imagine you are a natural historian in St Petersburg in the 1730s. You are fascinated with botany and hope to enrich your garden with some exotic plants from the British Isles. You write to your acquaintances in London to send you some seeds, especially from the species named ... Well, yes, what is that species called? And even if you know its name, would your English correspondent call that British plant the same name? Or would he think that the name refers to another species? How can you make sure that you will receive the plant you were thinking of? In the period before the widespread acceptance of Linnaeus' binomial system, how do you establish a common system of communication that could ensure that your private identifications of plants are understood by your correspondents all around Europe? Johann Amman faced exactly these difficulties as professor of botany and natural history at the St Petersburg Academy of Sciences. The Swiss natural historian came to Russia in 1733 at the bright age of 26. He trained in Leiden during the 1720s and then worked in London for a few years as curatorial assistant in the collection of Hans Sloane, which was later to become the British Museum. Once he moved to Petersburg, Amman was responsible for the upkeep of the Academy's botanical garden. As part of the job, it was necessary that he actively participate in the international exchange of seeds and plants.

Thank you to the editors and special edition editors of these journals. Many people have guided and supported me throughout my dissertation process, and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to recognize them. I am grateful to my committee, exemplary scholars who challenge me to deeply engage and critically think through my project. My advisors Erika Lee and Jigna Desai have been everything I could ask for and more, both phenomenal academics who motivate me to be a better scholar, teacher, parent, and community member. Erika is a formidable historian who has provided me with invaluable training, always asking the important “why?” of my research and project, especially my contributions to Asian American studies. Erika encourages me to “embrace my inner historian,” and I would like to state for the record that she inspires me time and time again to research and write important, compelling, and creative historical narratives.

  • Sir Hans Sloane and the Russian Academy of Sciences
    SIR HANS SLOANE AND THE RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES CHRISTINE G. THOMAS THE year that Sir Hans Sloane became president of the Royal Society marked the beginning of formal Anglo-Russian scientific relations. His predecessor Newton, at his last meeting as president before his death in March 1727, read out a letter received from the newly-founded Russian Academy of Sciences, proposing scientific co-operation between the two institutions.' In the past, the flow of scientific information had been in one direction only. The Russians, especially since the beginning of Peter the Great's programme for modernizing his Empire, had been eager to gain scientific and technical information and expertise from the West. After the founding in 1725 of the Russian Academy of Sciences (fig. i), which provided a centre for the serious scientific study of a country endowed with a wealth of unexplored material in the fields of natural history, geography, mineralogy, and ethnography, the interest ofWestern scientists was aroused, and exchange of information became reciprocal. In the early years at least, this exchange was effected mainly through correspondence between individual scholars rather than through any official exchange of publications. All the founding members of the Academy were foreigners, mostly Germans, and they kept in touch with colleagues they had known before going to Russia. The Sloane Manuscripts contain letters to Sir Hans Sloane from six members of the Russian academy written between 1721 and 1742 (see Appendix A, PP- 33-35 below), and of these correspondents, four had known or at least met him in England. The first to become acquainted with Sloane was Johann Daniel Schumacher (1690-1761) who visited England and the Continent in 1721.

  • ENGLISH NAVAL STRATEGY INTHE 1590S
    ENGLISH NAVAL STRATEGY INTHE 1590s SIMÓN ADAMS Profesor de Historia de la Universidad de Strathclyde Until quite recently, the Anglo-Spanish "War" in the period after the Armada of 1588 was one of the least studied subjects of the reign of Elizabeth. For many years, the standard narrative account of the 1590s was that published by the American historian E.P. Cheyney in two volumes in 1914 and 1926 (1). In the past decade, however, this situation has been transformed. Professor Wernham's edition of the List and Analysis ofState Papers Foreign Series (2) has been followed by his detailed study of military operations and diplomacy in the years 1588-1595 (3), and then by his edition of the documents relating to the "Portugal Voyage" of 1589 (4). Within the past two years, Professor MacCaffrey has published the final volume of his trilogy on Elizabeth's reign and Professor Loades his monograph on the Tudor Navy, while Dr. Hammer has completed his dissertation on the most controversial of the political figures of the decade, the 2nd Earl of Essex (5). Much therefore is a good deal clearer than it has been. Yet wider questions remain, particularly over the manner in which Elizabeth's government conducted the war with Spain. In their most recent work both Wernham and MacCaffrey argüe from positions they have established earlier: Wernham for a careful and defensive foreign and military policy, MacCaffrey for an essentially reactive one (6). This is a debate essentially about the queen herself, a particulary difficult The place of publication is understood to be London unless otherwise noted.

Farris, Associate Archeologist California Department of Parks and Recreation (Paper presented at the annual meetings of the Alaska Anthropological Associa­ tion, Fairbanks, Alaska, March 28, 1992.) ABSTRACT History is generally seen through the eyes of the dominant class in a society. Rarely is the viewpoint of the underclass, stated in their own words, expressed. In his compilation of the oral history and folktales of the Kashaya Pomo, linguist Robert Oswalt has provided some fascinating accounts of life with the Russians and Alaskan Native peoples experienced by these natives of the vicinity of Fort Ross. Such things as new foods, marital experiences including domestic violence, suicide of a spouse, at least one industrial accident, the marvel of a passing Hudson's Bay party and more are woven into tbeae ,tales.
