    Mobilizing the Public Sphere: Scandal, Political Culture, and the Signing of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce of 1778 Lauren Marie Wallace Waxhaw, North Carolina B.A., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2011 M.A. in Comparative and Transnational History, College of William and Mary, 2013 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Corcoran Department of History University of Virginia May, 2014 1 Mobilizing the Public Sphere: Scandal, Political Culture, and the Signing of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce of 1778 Lauren Wallace In March of 1778 Silas Deane received orders from the Continental Congress to return home. After years of negotiating a treaty, Deane hardly knew how to respond to the request to leave France so soon after his long-awaited success. Only one month earlier, the American deputies in Paris – Silas Deane, Benjamin Franklin, and Arthur Lee - had successfully convinced the French government to declare public support for the fledgling American state with treaties of Amity and Commerce. Cognizant of the necessity of foreign aid to combat the might of the British Empire, the deputies had worked tirelessly to persuade a reluctant French ministry to openly court British retaliation by allying with the colonies engaged in revolt against their mother country. That March, however, the American government remained ignorant of the deputies’ success. Instead, the Continental Congress saw only the vast expenditures and the woefully inadequate French

  • Rethinking Sovereignty and the State: the American Revolution, the International Press, and the French Political Imagination
    RETHINKING SOVEREIGNTY AND THE STATE: THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, THE INTERNATIONAL PRESS, AND THE FRENCH POLITICAL IMAGINATION Steven Weber A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Jay Smith Lloyd Kramer Kathleen DuVal © 2018 Steven Weber ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Steven Weber: Rethinking Sovereignty and the State: The American Revolution, the International Press, and the French Political Imagination (Under the direction of Jay Smith) This paper examines the ideological content and implications of texts from Britain and North America translated and published in France during the American Revolution and situates them in political dialogues already underway in the French public sphere by the 1770s. Focused on popular sovereignty, representation in government, and public control of state finances, the paper shows how documents from America and Britain reinforced radical political arguments in France that would ultimately undermine the absolutist old regime. These texts, circulated legally in newspapers and the state-run periodical Affaires de l’Angleterre et de l’Amérique, communicated numerous arguments in favor of populism and public action to French readers. This thesis places those texts into the cannon of subversive writings that circulated in the French public sphere in the years before the revolution, and thus places

  • Bibliography of Studies of Eighteenth-Century Journalism, the Periodical Press, and Serial Publications in 1985–2016
    Bibliography of Studies of Eighteenth-Century Journalism, the Periodical Press, and Serial Publications in 1985–2016 This bibliography surveys scholarship published from 1985 to 2016 on journalism, diverse serials (including almanacs and calendars), and the periodical press throughout Europe and the Americas during the "long eighteenth century," approximately 1660-1820. It is most inclusive for the years 1990–2014, in consequence of my compiling for those years Section 1— "Printing and Bibliographical Studies"—of the ECCB: Eighteenth-Century Current Bibliography, until recently known as The Eighteenth Century: A Current Bibliography). It focuses on printed scholarship regarding Europe and the Americas, but many electronic publications have been included. Dissertations and book reviews are included. This bibliography was first posted on the WWW at Kevin Berland's C18-L website, but was moved in June 2003 to BibSite and repeatedly enriched. A 2015 revision corrected some errors and expanded it from 152 to 184 pages; revisions in February 2016 increased the list to 211 pages, particularly increasing the coverage of newspapers and periodicals in Dutch and Spanish. Now in early 2017 I have added fifteen pages in another update. Some studies touching on the periodical press, inadvertently not included here, will be found in my other bibliographies on BibSite, particularly those involving authorship, censorship, and publishing. For previous editions, I received additions and corrections from James E. Tierney, Mr. Harold Braem of Hildesheim (who provided titles from his “Historische Zeitungen: Privatarchiv der deutschsprachigen Presse des 17. –19. Jahrhunderts”), Marie Mercier-Faivre, Eric Francalanza, Rudj Gorian, and Charles A. Knight. Up until the mid 1990s, I was indebted to Diana Dixon’s annual bibliographies in a group of related serials: Journal of Newspaper and Periodical History (London, 1984–1994), Studies in Newspaper and Periodical History (Westport, CT: Greenwood, 1994–1997), Media History (1999–2002).

  • Notes and Documents
    NOTES AND DOCUMENTS Qalendar of J^etters from John Jtdams to Francis Jtdrian Vcm der %emf> 1783-1825, in The Historical Society of Pennsylvania The following letters of John Adams are bound in a folio volume labeled AM006. The letters are all quarto in size 5 they are fol- lowed in the same volume by a collection of John Quincy Adams' letters. This calendar has been prepared in order to give a sort of index of their contents, for with a few—less than half a dozen— exceptions, they have not been published or consulted before. The last twenty-five years of Adams' life, when he lived in re- tirement at Quincy, furnish a rewarding study to the scholar. Through his unrestrained correspondence with a few intimate friends poured all of Adams' surprisingly extensive learning, his character- istically strong opinions, his infinite variety of interests in religious, scientific, governmental and international affairs. His correspondents were not many: Jefferson, Dr. Rush and his son Richard, his own family, Judge Van der Kemp, a few others 3 enough of his letters of this period have been published already to indicate the spirit and tone of these that follow. Sometime, when all are brought together in a definitive edition of his letters, we may be able fully to appreci- ate James Madison's remark, that letters from Quincy had the flavor of rich old wine. Judge Francis Adrian Van der Kemp was a friend Adams made in Holland. Suffering from the political unrest of the times, he, like Jean Luzac, sought more congenial surroundings, which he, unlike the unfortunate Luzac, found, through Adams' agency.

Schulte Nordholt, The Dutch Republic and American Independence (1982), p. 291 Cover illustration: A silver medallion made by Jean George Holtzhey in honor of the States-General receiving John Adams as an American envoy to the Dutch Republic on 19 April 1782. The front is shown, depicting the United States as “A Free Sister” to the Dutch Republic. The Dutch Republic places a Phrygian Cap, which signifies freedom and the pursuit of liberty, over the United States. The reverse side of the medallion portrays Britain in the form of a unicorn breaking its horn on “the rock of valor”. 1 Table of Contents Introduction 5 Filling the gap 10 Prologue: American Diplomacy and Foreign Policy 15 Republican ideal of independence 13 The United States joins the balance of power 15 American foreign policy and the Dutch Republic 16 Chapter 1: John Adams, 1780-1782 19 1.1 – Missions to Paris 20 Desire to remain independent from Europe 24 1.2 – Growing interest in the Dutch Republic 25 Suspicious of Franklin and Vergennes 28 1.3 – John Adams in the Dutch Republic 30 Pernicious effects of factionalism & the importance of balance 32 The war with Britain

In beginsel zijn mij zeven minuten toegewezen. Ik heb daarom een ogenblik overwogen, in zeven punten, telkens in een minuut, de geschiedenis van de dit jaar jubilerende Stichting Jacob Campo Weyerman - het JCW - langs te lopen; maar, als het ware de zeven scheppingsdagen van Genesis volgend, te beginnen bij het verschijnen van, geachte Israel, uw Radical Enlightenment. Want het verschijnen daarvan heeft voor veel JCW'ers (zoals dat heet) beslist iets gehad van ‘Er zij licht’! met de daarop volgende emotie: ‘zij zagen dat het goed was’. Evenwel: het begrip Verlichting, het Nederlandse aandeel aan de Verlichting, de hedendaagse soms curieuze discussie over de waarden van de Verlichting (denk maar aan de merkwaardige opvatting in nogal wat ingezonden stukken: dat de Verlichting vrijheid heeft gecreeërd zonder verantwoordelijkheid) - dat alles zal ongetwijfeld in ruime mate straks in uw lezing en in de forumdiscussie nog aan de orde komen. Ik neem daarom nu ook de vrijheid iets te zeggen over de Stichting Jacob Campo Weyerman die vandaag vijfentwintig jaar bestaat. Mogelijk bestaan er overeenkomsten tussen die stichting en het object van uw studie. Ik kom radicaal ter zake. In Yale - voor Amerikaanse begrippen, denk ik, niet ver van uw Princeton - werd vijfentwintig jaar geleden tijdens een internationaal congres over de achttiende eeuw, de Stichting Weyerman opgericht.

  • Origins: Inevitable Revolution Or Resolvable Crisis?
    Hanson/Contesting the French Revolution 9781405160834_4_001 Page Proof page 11 19.9.2008 7:45pm Compositor Name: ARaju 1 Origins: Inevitable Revolution or Resolvable Crisis? Could the French Revolution have been avoided? At one level the answer to this question is a simple one: No historical event is inevitable, and certainly no revolution or war need have occurred at precisely the time it did. Our question is a bit more complicated, however, and we might put it in a different way. Could the Bourbon monarchy have survived the crisis that it faced in the 1780s? To be sure, there are monarchists in Paris today who fondly hope for a restoration of the Bourbon throne, but few would consider that hope to be realistic. On the other hand, the other great monarchies of Europe – the Habsburgs, the Hohenzollerns, the Romanovs – survived up until World War I, and the Bourbons returned to the French throne for a brief time after the defeat of Napoleon. So while the collapse of the monarchy in France may have been inevitable, eventually, it need not have happened when it did and as it did. This leaves plenty of room for debate about why the French Revolution occurred, and whether or not it could have been averted in 1789. One of the striking things about the French Revolution, particularly as compared to other major revolutions in world history, is that it occurred in the most powerful, most prosperous, and most populous nation in Europe at the time. No one in the 1780s would have said that the Bourbon monarchy was on the verge of collapse.
