Whether it is an examination of the emergence of the modern state, the economic development of Europe, the distribution and exercise of power among its elites or the conduct of war between states, the links between states exercising power over defined territorial units and the production of wealth within those units are fundamental to an understanding of events. In the last quarter of the twentieth century historians’ interest in these links intensified and reflected a similar interest among political scientists and economists in the development of the modern state system. Positivist assumptions about economic systems and political rationality are increasingly challenged by world events and the development of theory. Two world wars had called rationality into question, while the trajectory of events in Western and Eastern Europe undermined a faith in both Anglo-Saxon economic exceptionalism or communist determinism. The modern study of state formation has come a long way since the 1970s and has depended heavily on historical analyses of different states and their paths to ‘modernity’. A major contribution to the debate came in 1989 with John Brewer’s concept of the Fiscal-Military State as an identifiable stage in the emergence of the British state between 1688-1783 (Brewer, 1989). He turned the traditional liberal idea of British political and economic development on its head. Instead of highlighting the relative weakness of the British state, which provided the political space for private enterprise to flourish and influence policy, he noted the strength of the state bureaucracy in being able to mobilise resources and deploy them to meet the ends of state policy, which in this period of European competition were almost exclusively military. This close 7 Richard Harding and Sergio Solbes Ferri connection between fiscal strength and military resources produced a military force out of all proportion to population and domestic natural resources. The elegance of Brewer’s explanation of British development provoked a major response among scholars interested in testing his proposition with more detailed studies of British history and those who wished to test it against the experience of other states. The results have been very fruitful. Brewer’s original thesis has been refined by some, restated or reframed by others. It remains a contested,

Ajout ultérieur, placée de fait, dans l’ordre alphabétique des séries, en tête des fonds judiciaires auxquels avaient été affectées les séries V à Z, celle-ci en constitue le prolégomène et, d’une certaine manière, un utile trousseau de clefs. C’est une collection rassemblant des collections et des documents isolés de provenances diverses qui avaient initialement été classés avec les grands fonds d’archives judiciaires ou intégrés aux séries J et K et en ont été distraits au moment de la cotation définitive de ces ensembles, dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle. Les recueils d’extraits réalisés à partir des archives judiciaires par ceux qui avaient à en connaître et désiraient se constituer des ensembles plus accessibles et plus maniables de textes concernant les juridictions, de discours, de plaidoyers, de factums, de textes législatifs, d’arrêts notables en constituent l’essentiel.

Cobb 2 John Fox, Jr Finley Peter Dunne Winston Churchill Leonard Wood John T. McCutcheon R. H. D. BY GOUVERNEUR MORRIS "And they rise to their feet as He passes by, gentlemen unafraid." He was almost too good to be true. In addition, the gods loved him, and so he had to die young. Some people think that a man of fifty-two is middle-aged. But if R. H. D. had lived to be a hundred, he would never have grown old. It is not generally known that the name of his other brother was Peter Pan. Within the year we have played at pirates together, at the taking of sperm whales; and we have ransacked the Westchester Hills for gunsites against the Mexican invasion. And we have made lists of guns, and medicines, and tinned things, in case we should ever happen to go elephant-shooting in Africa. But we weren't going to hurt the elephants. Once R. H. D. shot a hippopotamus and he was always ashamed and sorry. I think he never killed anything else. He wasn't that kind of a sportsman. Of hunting, as of many other things, he has said the last word. Do you remember the Happy Hunting Ground in "The Bar Sinister"?--"where nobody hunts us, and there is nothing to hunt." Experienced persons tell us that a manhunt is the most exciting of all sports. R. H. D. hunted men in Cuba.

THE LAST DAYS CHAPTER I THE EARLY DAYS Richard Harding Davis was born in Philadelphia on April 18, 1864, but, so far as memory serves me, his life and mine began together several years later in the three-story brick house on South Twenty-first Street, to which we had just moved. For more than forty years this was our home in all that the word implies, and I do not believe that there was ever a moment when it was not the predominating influence in page 2 / 485 Richard's life and in his work. As I learned in later years, the house had come into the possession of my father and mother after a period on their part of hard endeavor and unusual sacrifice. It was their ambition to add to this home not only the comforts and the beautiful inanimate things of life, but to create an atmosphere which would prove a constant help to those who lived under its roof--an inspiration to their children that should endure so long as they lived.

  • The Capability of Sailing Warships: Manoeuvrability Sam Willis
    The Capability of Sailing Warships: Manoeuvrability Sam Willis Dans cet article, S.B.A. Willis continue à faire son enquête sur le potentiel des navires de guerre à voile en réfléchissant à la question de la manière de manœuvrer. En faisant référence à des sources contemporaines, l'auteur considère les aspects significatifs de la performance d'un navire de guerre à voile que jusqu 'à présent les historiens de la navigation de guerre ont négligés ou ont mal compris. Part 1 of this article warned of the inherent dangers of accepting an easily digestible and simplistic vision of sailing capability and explained in some detail the practicalities of making ground to windward in a sailing warship. An incapacity to make ground to windward was not, however, the only significant characteristic of wind dependence. Unfortunately, very few historians of sailing warfare have considered sailing warship capability beyond the question of windward performance, and there remains much of significance that is not widely known. With our accepted understanding so dominated by the question of windward performance, it has been all too easy to associate negative connotations with the broader question of sailing warship capability. It is, furthermore, a sad fact that the only characteristics of sailing warship capability that are generally understood are those that are based on a superficial comparison with steamships. A steamship has an engine that provides head or sternway and a rudder that controls lateral movement. Maritime historians have repeatedly used this template to understand the sailing ship, simply regarding the sailing rig as the direct equivalent of the engine.

  • Dangerousness and Criminal Justice
    DANGEROUSNESS AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE Franklin E. Zimring* Gordon Hawkins** INTRODUCTORY The question of dangerousness arises in criminal law whenever de- cisions are taken in regard to the secure confinement of offenders: de- cisions about remand in custody, bail, criminal sentencing, parole, providing statutory terms of imprisonment for particular offenses, and prison building programs. Whether the likelihood of future harm should have a role in deci- sions about the use of imprisonment is the question we address in this article. This question is widely discussed in the literature on the juris- prudence of sentencing, and has inspired "a lot of rather uncritical and polemical literature" 1 and a good deal of muddled and emotive argu- ment, with which we are not concerned. At the same time, some seri- ously and deservedly respected scholars have, on this topic, advanced propositions and reached conclusions, which on consideration appear plainly illogical and untenable. Their contributions to the discussion are the focus of our attention here. The first section of this paper surveys some recent writings on the topic of dangerousness for major inconsistencies, which we regard as illuminating the special problem of dangerousness in the jurisprudence of criminal sentencing. The second section describes the "special problem of dangerous- ness," for, we believe, the first time. The special problem is the fear that any admission of calculations of dangerousness into sentencing decisions will lead to an overuse of dangerousness, which may be worse than the inefficiencies and hypocrisies we confront when deny- ing that future dangerousness is relevant to decisions about prisons. * Professor of Law and Director of the Earl Warren Legal Institute, University of Califor- nia, Berkeley.

  • La Fortune Et Les Lettres
    Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais est né le 24 janvier 1732 à Paris en France, où il a travaillé toute sa vie. Fils d’horloger et frère de Vincent Caron, il est l’inventeur du mécanisme de l’échappement à hampe. Il l’a expliqué au sieur Lepaute, horloger du Roi, qui s’en prétend être alors à l’origine mais Pierre-Augustin le confond en cour. Beaumarchais est également l’inventeur d’un mécanisme de perfectionnement destiné aux pédales de harpes. Il se marie en 1756 avec Madeleine-Catherine Aubertin, veuve Franquet, de presque dix ans son aînée ; celle-ci meurt un an plus tard. On le soupçonne de l’avoir tuée et c’est l’occasion du premier de la longue suite de procès et de scandales qui devaient marquer son existence. C’est en 1756 qu’il prend le nom de Beaumarchais, nom d’une terre qui appartenait à sa première épouse. La fortune et les lettres Son fort pouvoir de séduction lui permet de gagner les faveurs de la Cour. Il devient en 1759 professeur de harpe de Mesdames, filles de Louis XV, il se lie d’amitié avec le financier de la Cour, Joseph Paris Duverney qui lui permet d’acquérir la charge qui lui confère la noblesse et lui permet d’entrer dans le monde des finances et des affaires. Il se lance dans les spéculations commerciales et déploie un tel génie en ce genre qu’en peu d’années il acquiert une grande fortune et il achète une charge de secrétaire du roi.

The island, originally two small marshes, was developed during the mid-1920s by David P. Davis, who had made his fortune selling Miami real estate. By 1929, after Davis’s death and the collapse of the Florida land boom, most construction on the island had ceased, not to resume until the late 1930s.
