INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. University M icrofilm s International 300 N.

Selby for his guidance with this dissertation. His careful reading of an earlier draft and thoughtful comments have been invaluable in preparing this revision. Many others have helped me bring this project to conclusion as well. Russell R. Menard introduced me to the possibilities of quantification and helped me conceptualize this topic. Louis Maganzin has offered comment, criticism and guidance at every step of the way. James P. Whittenburg initiated me to the mysteries of the computer and helped me to ask the right questions of my data. Gerald S. Cowden has given insightful criticism as well as encouragement whenever my energy or spirit has flagged. Frank W. Grauman, A.I.A. gave his advice and assistance in preparing the graphs. This dissertation could not have been completed with­ out the aid of the interlibrary loan services of the Virginia State Library and Mary Washington College. I especially wish to thank the interlibrary loan department at the Osterhout Free Library, Wilkes-Barre, for quickly and courteously processing my innumerable requests for unusual materials. The Board of Directors of the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society has been generous in granting me extra time off to complete the dissertation, My staff at the Society, the good people and true professionals that they are, have shouldered more than their fair share of the burden of work to keep things running smoothly during my absences, My wife, Estelle, has made more contributions than words can express. She has tolerated relocations and job changes, long research trips and my extended absences. Her professional skill as a systems analyst sustained us during the early years of this project, and she has made her knowledge available to me to help me organize and process my data. She has assumed an inequitable proportion of the difficulties of raising a growing family. I truly could not have finished this dissertation without her. v LIST OF TABLES Table Page 1.

Built by John Tayloe in 1758, the Richmond County, Virginia house is still occupied by direct descendents of the builder. It is a remarkable expression of the Palladian ideal. A central pavilion made of locally quarried materials and of rusticated Aquia Creek sandstone is connected to square dependencies by curved hyphens. The front and rear elevations were based on classic examples in eighteenth-century English pattern books. William Buckland was employed to provide the interior woodwork.

  • Merchant City Glasgow
    MERCHANT CITY GLASGOW The Tobacco Lords were the entrepreneurs of 18th century Glasgow who traded with the Americas bringing to Scotland the three ‘evils’ of tobacco, rum and sugar. From Virginia Street and Virginia Court the Tobacco Lords of Glasgow controlled the bulk of the lucrative European market in tobacco, creating for themselves fine houses, offices and warehouses, examples of which can still be seen today. The Tobacco Exchange on Virginia Street, built in 1753, survived until 2003 and its site now features new city style apartments, restaurants and shops. It was largely the wealth generated by the Tobacco Lords which funded Glasgow’s shift into textile manufacture, banking and heavy industry in the nineteenth century. Gradual acquisition of the Virginia Street and Miller Street buildings has enabled Credential to fulfil a long cherished dream of providing Glasgow with a truly cosmopolitan and prestigious historical focal point. A UNIQUE RETAIL EXPERIENCE Virginia Court and Miller Street create an intimate and delightful place to shop, eat or simply partake of a coffee or glass of wine and contemplate the rich historical environment, providing a welcome contrast to the large-scale multiple stores located nearby. The retail renaissance of Glasgow has been design-led. New apartment blocks, fashionable shops and design studios have moved into the Merchant City to take advantage of the good location and attractive environment. Virginia Court and Miller Street offer fine examples of Glasgow’s Retail Renaissance. In addition to the excellent location, the courtyard’s blend of residential apartments, retail outlets, restaurants and tourist attractions offers shoppers and traders a first class opportunity to benefit from a thriving environment.

  • A Counterblaste to Tobacco*
    HISTORY JAMIE THE SAXT’S A COUNTERBLASTE TO TOBACCO* W.W. Buchanan, Emeritus Professor of Medicine at the McMaster University Faculty of Health Sciences, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada SUMMARY King James VI of Scotland (Jamie the Saxt) became James I of England in 1603. This led to what is now known as the United Kingdom: indeed the flag, the Union Jack, is named after him. He was probably the best educated king to sit on a European throne, although he often lacked sagacity. He authorised a new translation of the Bible, now known as the King James Bible. He is also remembered for his abhorrence of smoking tobacco, which he ably expressed in A Counterblaste to Tobacco in 1604. INTRODUCTION Jamie the Saxt (1566-1625) (Figure 1), King James VI of Scotland and James I of England, was the last King of Scotland, although not the last to be crowned there. Charles I (1600-1649), his son, was crowned at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh, in 1633. James’s grandson, Charles II (1630-1685) was crowned at Scone, Perthshire in 1651.1 James was the son of the ill-fated Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-1587) and her second husband Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley (c. 1545-1567), who was her cousin. Mary is generally treated kindly by historians, perhaps because she was beheaded on orders from Queen Elizabeth I of England.2 It is almost certain, however, that she was involved in the murder of Lord Darnley so that she could marry James Hepburn, fourth Earl of Bothwell (c. 1535-1578).
