The New World figured as a holy land for Calvinists and evangelicals, from Richard Hakluyt to Oliver Cromwell. Colonial schemes from the Providence Island expedition of 1631 to the 1655 Western Design were proclaimed as strikes upon the Roman-Iberian Babylon in its garrisoned treasure- house.1 Until well into the eighteenth century, overseas conquests were retailed as the providential tokens of an elect nation—an expanding domain that considered itself, in David Armitage’s words, to be “Protestant, commercial, maritime and free.”2 This ideology formed Gabriel Glickman is a Lecturer in History at Cambridge University.

Pre-Suppression Jesuit Activity in the British Isles and Ireland
Brill Research Perspectives in Jesuit Studies 1.4 (2019) 1–115 brill.com/brp Pre-suppression Jesuit Activity in the British Isles and Ireland Thomas M. McCoog, S.J. Fordham University, New York, USA [email protected] Abstract The British Isles and Ireland tested the self-proclaimed adaptability and flexibility of the new Society of Jesus. A mission to Ireland highlighted the complexities and ended in failure in the early 1580s, not to be revived until 1598. The fabled Jesuit mis- sion to England in 1580 conceived in wistful optimism was baptized with blood with the execution of Edmund Campion in 1581 and the consequent political manoeuvres of Robert Persons. The Scottish mission began in December 1581. The three missions remained distinct in the pre-suppression period despite an occasional proposal for integration. The English mission was the largest, the bloodiest, the most controversial, and the only one to progress to full provincial status. The government tried to suppress it; the Benedictines tried to complement it; the vicars apostolic tried to control it; and foreign Jesuits tried to recognize it. Nonetheless, the English province forged a corpo- rate identity that even withstood the suppression.

Nor Cruel and Unusual Punishments Inflicted:" the Original Meaning
California Law Review VOL. 57 OCTOBER 1969 No. 4 "Nor Cruel and Unusual Punishments Inflicted:" The Original Meaning Anthony F. Granucci* The histories of the prohibitions of cruel and unusual punishments found in the English Bill of Rights of 1689 and in the eighth amendment to the United States Constitution have never been adequately investi- gated. Judges and scholars alike have been content to accept the con- clusions of the American framers that the clause was originally designed to prohibit barbarous methods of punishment and that it was not, there- fore, intended as a general prohibition on merely excessive penalties. This Article will attempt to demonstrate that the conclusions of the American framers were based on a misinterpretation of the intent of the drafters of the English Bill of Rights. The Article first analyzes the positions of the American framers. It then traces the legal developments which resulted in the English Bill of Rights of 1689. It concludes with an explanation of the way in which the American framers mis- interpreted English law. I THE AMERICAN FRAMERS ON CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT By the spring of 1776 the mood of the American colonials had "gone such Lengths, that it was a Matter of Moonshine . .whether Independence was at first intended, or not."'

Such last dying words, See table of contents spoken as they were on the “very Brink between Time and Eternity,” were equally compelling and controversial, dividing opinion along partisan and confessional lines. This study builds on recent scholarship emphasizing the Publisher(s) dynamism of the Restoration public sphere and the degree to which the gallows was a contested space. It argues that the pamphlet wars over the The Canadian Historical Association / La Société historique du Canada meaning, veracity, and authenticity of the last dying speeches of late seventeenth-century condemned traitors, while largely overlooked by scholars ISSN of the Restoration crisis, have much to tell us about larger, shared preoccupations and mentalities. This article will focus in particular on two 0847-4478 (print) powerful contemporary credos which constrained and shaped the actions of 1712-6274 (digital) authorities, malefactors, and pamphleteers alike: the equation of freedom of speech with liberty and Protestantism on the one hand and the association of Explore this journal charity with the good death, credibility, and truth, on the other. -
