SAME—SAME—RIGHTS OF EXPRESS COMPANIES.—As such carriers they are bound to provide for those doing an express business over their road reasonable and necessary facilities for such business, and to all upon equal terms. They cannot insist upon the exclusive right to do such business over their lines of road, nor grant such right to one express company to the exclusion of others, but are bound to carry for every one offering to do the same sort of business upon the same terms. EXPRESS COMPANY—RAILROAD REFUSING TO CARRY FOR.—Where an express company had, under special contract, been for many years engaged in that business over the system of roads controlled by defendants, and had built up a large and valuable business, and established valuable connections, all of which would be much depreciated if defendant should be allowed to refuse to further allow it to carry on such business over its line of road, held, that for that reason an injunction restraining such action might be granted.

  • Subsidies, Diplomacy, and State Formation in Europe, 1494–1789
    1 The role of subsidies in seventeenth-century French foreign relations and their European context Anuschka Tischer The focus of this chapter is on the notion and practice of subsidies in French politics and diplomacy in the seventeenth century. It begins, however, with some general observations on the subject concerning the notion and practice of subsidies to demonstrate what I see as the desiderata, relevant issues, and methodological problems. I then continue with a short overview of the French practice of subsidies in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and finally present some examples of how the notion and practice were used and described in relation to French diplomacy at the Congress of Westphalia. General observations As was pointed out in the Introduction, subsidies are one of those political notions and practices common in the early modern period that are yet to be systematically researched. The methodological problem can be compared to the notion and practice of protection, which has also only recently been put on the scholarly agenda.1 The comparison is useful as protection and subsidies have several common features and are, in fact, entangled in their use in the early modern international system. Research on protection could thus 1 Protegierte und Protektoren: Asymmetrische politische Beziehungen zwi­ schen Partnerschaft und Dominanz (16. bis frühes 20.

  • EDISON's Warriors
    EDISON’S WaRRIORS Christoph Cox Real security can only be attained in the long run through confusion. — Hilton Howell Railey, commander of the Army Experimental Station1 Simulantur quae non sunt. Quae sunt vero dissimulantur. — Motto of the 23rd Special Troops2 In “The Invisible Generation,” an experimental text from 1962, William S. Burroughs unveiled a proposal to unleash urban mayhem via the use of portable tape recorders. “Now consider the harm that can be done and has been done when recording and playback is expertly carried out in such a way that the people affected do not know what is happening,” he wrote. “Bands of irresponsible youths with tape recorders playing back traffic sounds that confuse motorists,” Burroughs gleefully imagined, could incite “riots and demonstrations to order.”3 Championing the productive (and destructive) powers of portable audio, “The Invisible Generation” is an emblematic text in the history of sound art and DJ culture. Yet, nearly 20 years earlier, Burroughs’s vision had already been conceived and deployed by none other than the United States Army, whose “ghost army,” the 23rd Special Troops, included several units dedicated to “sonic deception” and its results: enemy confusion and carnage.4 The first division in American Armed Forces history assigned exclusively to camouflage and deception, the 23rd was a military oddity. Despite the centrality of deception in the history of warfare from the Trojan Horse on, soldiers drilled in the West Point code of duty, honor, trust, and integrity were ill-suited to a life of simulation and dissimulation; and American officers tended to dismiss deceptive tactics as underhanded, a sign of weakness in every sense.5 It’s not surprising, then, that the 23rd consisted primarily of a population with an occupational predisposition to deception, invention, and fabrication: artists.

Mais beaucoup d’autres, plus ou moins connus, nobles ou roturiers, participaient à la vie de la cour. Pour les curieux d’Histoire qui se penchent sur cette époque, il a paru intéressant de dresser la liste de ceux qui ont marqué le règne du Roi-Soleil. Les noms ont été pris parmi les plus souvent cités dans les Mémoires des témoins de l’époque, qu’ils soient désignés par leur nom, leur titre ou leur fonction. Ont été explicitées les identités des personnages habituellement désignés à l’époque par leur seul statut, comme "Monseigneur", "Monsieur le Duc", "Monsieur le Grand",.. Pour certaines grandes familles, sont cités des personnages repères : Condé (Monsieur le Prince) : familles de Conti, Longueville, du Maine, Vendôme.

  • Framing Modernity in Madison Square, 1890-1920
    'Rising Visions / Fragmentary Glimpses': Framing Modernity in Madison Square, 1890-1920. Jay Castro Undergraduate Senior Thesis Department of History Columbia University April 17th, 2020 Second Reader: Professor Elizabeth Blackmar Seminar Advisor: Professor Hilary Hallett Acknowledgements This thesis would not exist with the support of many people. I am eternally grateful for the ways they have enabled me to accomplish this project I have dreamed of for years, in ways I never would have imagined. I am a better person at the end of it all, and I have you to thank. To Professor Elizabeth Blackmar, who always knew what I was thinking better than I did myself and whose honest enthusiasm inspired me when I was most overwhelmed. This thesis would be unrecognizable without her comments, insights, and pep talks. To walk into your office was to see the world open up suddenly and magnificently. To Professor Hilary Hallet, for her unending patience and understanding throughout this long process, and her careful, thoughtful edits on so many harried drafts. I will return your book to you safely, one day! To Professor Matthew Hart, who showed me the potentials of what modernism can be, and who after years of radio silence believed in me honestly and without question. You have taught me to allow things to breathe and exist in all their contradictions. To Professor Gergely Baics, who first introduced me to archival maps and challenged me to believe in history for the sake of it. To Josh Schwartz, whose assistance in locating sources on early twentieth century New York illustrators completely transformed this project.
