(Glasgow) RESEARCH FELLOW, GLASGOW UNIVERSITY PRINCIPAL LECTURER IN HISTORY, GLASGOW TRAINING CENTRE Printed at the University Press by T. and A. Constable Ltd. for the Scottish History Society 1924 Printed in Great Britain PREFACE This volume is a selection from the large amount of fresh manuscript material to which I have had access during my study of the activities of the Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies, commonly known as the Darien Company. Some of the papers, such as the correspondence of Sir Paul Rycaut, reveal in clear detail episodes known hitherto only in vague outline ; other documents, such as those dealing with the voyage of the Speedwell to the China Seas, throw light on enterprises not previously dealt with by historians of the Darien Company. In collecting this material I have received invaluable aid from several friends. Mr. J. J. Spencer has placed at my disposal his collection of Darien books, pamphlets, and manuscripts. Mr. Hugh Pillans of Edinburgh has given me the transcripts he had made of the Darien papers in the Archives of the Royal Bank. Mr. William Angus, Curator of the Historical Department of the Register House, and the staff of the Advocates’ Library have in every possible way facilitated my work among the manuscripts of which they have charge. To the Directors of the Royal Bank and to the Council of the Royal Society I am indebted for permission to use the Darien papers in their Archives.

Arms of the Company of Scotland, . to face page x INTRODUCTION One of the noteworthy features of Scottish colonial projects is that the results they achieved invariably differed widely from those originally aimed at: Sir William Alexander’s efforts to found a New Scotland beyond the Atlantic led to the capture, by a fleet of Anglo-Scottish privateers, of Champlain’s fortress of Quebec ; the deputation of West- land Covenanters who went up to London to negotiate with the Lords Proprietors of Carolina concerning the site of a Scottish colony of refuge, became involved in the great Whig Insurrectionary Plot; and the Company of Scotland, whose chief title to remembrance has been the tragic failure of its efforts to establish a colony on the Isthmus of Darien, was founded for the purpose of trafficking in the Indian and China seas. The credit—or the notoriety—of being the founder of the Company of Scotland is generally ascribed to William Paterson. This assumption, however, is hardly borne out by an examination of the early history of the Company. Moreover, Paterson, though not backward in emphasising the importance of the part he had played in establishing the Bank of England, at no time laid claim to be the projector of the Company of Scotland : on one important occasion, indeed, he was at some pains publicly to deny the imputa- tion. The ‘ Act for a Company Tradeing to Affrica and the Indies,’ which on 26th June 1695 was finally read, voted, and approven in the Scottish Parliament, and thereafter touched with the sceptre by His Majesty’s Commissioner, was the outcome of a prolonged and persistent campaign b DARIEN SHIPPING PAPERS carried on by a group of influential London merchants comprising both Englishmen and Scotsmen—a campaign which had for its objective the turning of the flank of the strongly entrenched monopoly of the English East India Company. The Eastern aspirations of the founders of the Company of Scotland are revealed significantly in the arms of the Company. They are revealed even more significantly in the history of the early activities of the Company. Im- mediately after the successful inauguration of the Company in London, in the late autumn of 1695, the London Directors discussed the question of fitting out, with all haste, a vessel from Scotland for the East India trade. The London life of the Company was brief and troubled : under the bitter and determined attacks of the all-powerful English East India Company the Anglo-Scottish venture soon collapsed. When some months later it was established in Edinburgh as a purely Scottish concern—almost, indeed, a Scottish national concern—the Scottish Directors sent two com- missioners abroad ‘ to inform themselves of the best and most expeditious way of purchasing or building five or six ships of about 600 tons each, well and sufficiently built, and such as are fit for voyages to the East Indies.’ It was, moreover, ‘ to consider what place might be fitted for the ships belonging to the Indian Company ’ that Paterson, in June 1696, came through to Glasgow and, along with the Lord Provost, rode down the riverside to Dumbarton. This investigation of the shipping facilities of Clydeside, however, is symptomatic of a coming change in the policy of the Company, a change effected solely through the influence of Paterson. A month after his Glasgow visit, Paterson laid before the Court of Directors ‘ certain Manu- scripts, Books, Journals, Reckonings, and illuminated ARMS OF THE COMPANY OF SCOTLAND INTRODUCTION xi Mapps and others papers of discovery ’; among these was a manuscript copy of Lionel Wafer’s Journal of his travels across the Isthmus of Darien. The Directors proceeded with admirable caution. They made no public announce- ment of their policy. They resolved ‘ that some particular discoveries of the greatest moment to the designs of the Company should be committed to writing, sealed, and kept in safe custody ’ ; Paterson was encouraged ‘ freely to bestow all his pains and time henceforward in prose- cuting the undertaking.’ A few weeks later an Edinburgh physician and four assistants were preparing medical stores for an expedition of fifteen hundred men for two years. Arrangements were also made on a large scale for collecting provisions and trade goods. Already in his dreams Pater- son could see the realisation of his project of establishing on the Isthmus of Darien a great world emporium—that project for which ten years before, on his return from the West Indies, he had vainly tried throughout Europe to find a sponsor. In the stir and excitement of these new and fascinating plans the Eastern designs of the Company were jostled into the background. But these Eastern designs survived both the hectic dreams and the dismal realities of the American expeditions. And when the rank growth of the tropical jungle had finally obliterated the clearing that had been New Edinburgh, when the name of Darien lived on the lips of Scotsmen merely as the slogan of a bitter party warfare—the Eastern trading plans were quietly revived. n Two voyages were made by the Company’s ships to the Eastern seas. One voyage, that of a ship called the Speedwell, can be traced in realistic detail. Our knowledge of the Speedwell and its adventures is derived from four xii DARIEN SHIPPING PAPERS documents : the charter-party ; a precise and lengthy set of instructions issued to the supercargo ; and two long letters sent from Malacca by the supercargo. The first of these documents, dated London, 30th September 1700, is the record, written on stout parchment in a fair clerkly hand, of the Articles made and agreed upon ‘ Between Mr. Robert Blackwood, Junior, Merchant of Edinburgh and Co., Proprietors of the Ship Speedwell and Cargo, Captain John Campbell, Commander, and Robert Innes, First Supracargoe, for a Voyage intended, with God’s per- mission, for China and the East Indies.’ ‘ The Company * —so runs the first article—‘ are to fitt out the said Ship, Being of Burthen 250 Tunns or thereabout with all Neces- saries and Accommodations proper for so great an Under- taking, and [it] is to depart from this for Scotland with all convenient speed, wind and weather permitting, where the said supra cargoe is to receive a New Commission from the Company trading to those parts.’ This new commission, dated from Edinburgh, 12th December 1700, gives a vivid glimpse of the working con- ditions of Eastern trade.

  • Barque from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Barque From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A barque, barc, or bark is a type of sailing vessel with three or more masts having the fore- and mainmasts rigged square and only the mizzen (the aftmost mast) rigged fore-and-aft. Contents 1 Etymology 2 Bark Three-masted barque (US Revenue Cutter Salmon P. 3 Barque rig Chase, 1878–1907) 4 Barques and barque shrines in Ancient Egypt 5 Barque of St. Peter 6 See also 7 References 8 Further reading Three-masted barque sail 9 External links plan Etymology The word barque entered English via French, which in turn came from the Latin barca by way of Occitan, Spanish or Italian. The Latin barca may stem from Celtic "barc" (per Thurneysen) or Greek "baris" (per Diez), a term for an Egyptian boat. The Oxford English Dictionary considers the latter improbable.[1] The word barc appears to have come from Celtic languages. The form adopted by English, perhaps from Irish, was bark, while that adopted by Latin as barca very early, which gave rise to the French barge and barque. In Latin, Spanish and Italian the term barca refers to a small boat, not a full-size ship. French influence in England led to the use in English of both words, although their meanings now are not the same. Well before the 19th century a barge had become interpreted as a small vessel of coastal or inland waters. Somewhat later, a bark became a sailing vessel of a distinctive rig as detailed below. In Britain, by the mid-19th century, the spelling had taken on the French form of barque.

    United States Department of Agriculture Mistletoes of North Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station American Conifers General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-98 September 2002 Canadian Forest Service Department of Natural Resources Canada Sanidad Forestal SEMARNAT Mexico Abstract _________________________________________________________ Geils, Brian W.; Cibrián Tovar, Jose; Moody, Benjamin, tech. coords. 2002. Mistletoes of North American Conifers. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS–GTR–98. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 123 p. Mistletoes of the families Loranthaceae and Viscaceae are the most important vascular plant parasites of conifers in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Species of the genera Psittacanthus, Phoradendron, and Arceuthobium cause the greatest economic and ecological impacts. These shrubby, aerial parasites produce either showy or cryptic flowers; they are dispersed by birds or explosive fruits. Mistletoes are obligate parasites, dependent on their host for water, nutrients, and some or most of their carbohydrates. Pathogenic effects on the host include deformation of the infected stem, growth loss, increased susceptibility to other disease agents or insects, and reduced longevity. The presence of mistletoe plants, and the brooms and tree mortality caused by them, have significant ecological and economic effects in heavily infested forest stands and recreation areas. These effects may be either beneficial or detrimental depending on management objectives. Assessment concepts and procedures are available. Biological, chemical, and cultural control methods exist and are being developed to better manage mistletoe populations for resource protection and production. Keywords: leafy mistletoe, true mistletoe, dwarf mistletoe, forest pathology, life history, silviculture, forest management Technical Coordinators_______________________________ Brian W.

  • Prices and Wages in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru
    Historical Prices and Wages at www.iisg.nl/hpw/ Prices and wages in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru Leticia Arroya Abad, Elwyn A. R. Davies, and Jan Luiten van Zanden Data appendix The data appendix includes the details about sources and methodology with respect to prices and wages. We have collected price and wage information on six regions: Mexico (especially the Mexico City area), Peru (Lima), Colombia (Bogota), Bolivia (Potosi), Chile (Santiago) and Argentina (Buenos Aires). We provide a brief discussion of both the sources of our price and wage series as well as some methodological issues that arose during the processing of this data. All series and the underlying estimates will be made available on the Global Prices and Income Website at University of California, Davis (http://gpih.ucdavis.edu/) and at the Historical Prices and Wages website of the International Institute for Social History (www.iisg.nl/hpw). Prices Most prices reflect transactions from official and private institutions. These organizations kept accounting records for transactions with merchants and suppliers. As a result, the data correspond to current consumer prices. An overview of our sources is given in Table A.1 For Mexico we were able to find price information for a long period of time, starting from the sixteenth century until the nineteenth century. The sources are public auctions, tribute collection offices, notaries, and public granaries. For the sixteenth century we used price quotations from Borah and Cook (1958) from the Mexico City area and neighbouring regions such as Coyoacán. This price source is a mix of retail, wholesale, and auction prices of wheat, maize, meat and some utility goods.

  • Vertical Facility List
    Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.
