  • Some Aspects of the Federal Political Career of Andrew Fisher
    SOME ASPECTS OF THE FEDERAL POLITICAL CAREER OF ANDREW FISHER By EDWARD WIL.LIAM I-IUMPHREYS, B.A. Hans. MASTER OF ARTS Department of History I Faculty of Arts, The University of Melbourne Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degr'ee of Masters of Arts (by Thesis only) JulV 2005 ABSTRACT Andrew Fisher was prime minister of Australia three times. During his second ministry (1910-1913) he headed a government that was, until the 1940s, Australia's most reformist government. Fisher's second government controlled both Houses; it was the first effective Labor administration in the history of the Commonwealth. In the three years, 113 Acts were placed on the statute books changing the future pattern of the Commonwealth. Despite the volume of legislation and changes in the political life of Australia during his ministry, there is no definitive full-scale biographical published work on Andrew Fisher. There are only limited articles upon his federal political career. Until the 1960s most historians considered Fisher a bit-player, a second ranker whose main quality was his moderating influence upon the Caucus and Labor ministry. Few historians have discussed Fisher's role in the Dreadnought scare of 1909, nor the background to his attempts to change the Constitution in order to correct the considered deficiencies in the original drafting. This thesis will attempt to redress these omissions from historical scholarship Firstly, it investigates Fisher's reaction to the Dreadnought scare in 1909 and the reasons for his refusal to agree to the financing of the Australian navy by overseas borrowing.

    IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by James M. Donahue __________________________ Mark A. Noll, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana April 2015 © Copyright 2015 James M. Donahue IN SEARCH OF A GLOBAL, GODLY ORDER: THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, 1908-1918 Abstract by James M. Donahue This dissertation traces the origins of the League of Nations movement during the First World War to a coalescent international network of ecumenical figures and Protestant politicians. Its primary focus rests on the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the Churches, an organization that drew Protestant social activists and ecumenical leaders from Europe and North America. The World Alliance officially began on August 1, 1914 in southern Germany to the sounds of the first shots of the war. Within the next three months, World Alliance members began League of Nations societies in Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. The World Alliance then enlisted other Christian institutions in its campaign, such as the International Missionary Council, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the Blue Cross and the Student Volunteer Movement. Key figures include John Mott, Charles Macfarland, Adolf Deissmann, W. H. Dickinson, James Allen Baker, Nathan Söderblom, Andrew James M. Donahue Carnegie, Wilfred Monod, Prince Max von Baden and Lord Robert Cecil.

DOI: 5 The Clergy at the Courts of George I and George II STEPHEN TAYLOR In the years between the Reformation and the revolution of 1688 the court lay at the very heart of English religious life. Court bishops played an important role as royal councillors in matters concerning both church and commonwealth. 1 Royal chaplaincies were sought after, both as important steps on the road of prefer- ment and as positions from which to influence religious policy.2 Printed court sermons were a prominent literary genre, providing not least an important forum for debate about the nature and character of the English Reformation.

  • Handguns of the Massachusetts Arms Company
    Handguns of the Massachusetts Arms Co. by L. W. Jones The subject of this paper, the Massachusetts Arms Com- )any, has been partially covered in many sources, but iever has it been completely covered. Since it is a quite :omplicated subject I, too, shall not attempt to cover the ubject completely, but to limit myself to the percussion evolvers produced by this company. This is fitting, as the nanufacture of percussion revolvers was the reason the :ompany was formed and they were the main product of he company for the first ten years of its life. The Massachusetts Arms Company was formed late in .849 and incorporated on March 5th, 1850, but the story of ts percussion revolvers starts much earlier. On April 29th, 1837, Daniel Leavitt, of Cabotsville, Mas- ,achusetts, received patent #I82 for a revolver which :laimed "the giving of the chambered or forward end of he cylinder a convex form, by which the ignition of the manufactured by Edwin Wesson.

    F foH- Of FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH » (Fifth Meeting House) * The Marvin House (see page 6) i The McCurdy House (see page 6) Hi!! !!!niFI!I!!lll lllllllllllllf illlPllllliliiilllliilllll Landmarks of OLD LYME THE BEGINNINGS OF THE TOWN LD LYME was originally part of Saybrook when the latter Owas founded in 1635. However in the years following quite a number of Saybrook settlers acquired land and established homes east of the Connecticut River; amongst them were the Lay, Noyes, Champion, Griswold, Marvin, DeWolf, Lord and Ely families. On February 13, 1665, at a ceremony known as "The Loving Parting," the friendly separation of Saybrook and Lyme took place, and Lyme became an independent "plantation"; two years later, on May 9, 1667, a decree of the General Court at Hartford authorized the change of name to that of Lyme. There is a tra­ dition that Lyme was named after Lyme Regis in Dorset, Eng­ land, based on an unconfirmed legend that the Griswolds and/or the Sills came from that town. Others believe that the fact that the Lees of Lyme came from Lyme, Cheshire, England, may have had something to do with this town being so named. Lyme originally comprised an area of 80 square miles. In 1835 the eastern section became an independent town known as East Lyme; and in 1855 the south-west portion withdrew and became legally Old Lyme. In connection with setting the boundaries of Lyme, the story runs that there was much controversy about a strip of land be­ tween Bride Brook and the Niantic Rive*, also claimed by New London.
