FOREWORDS. Gj'HE material for the history of the Doremus Family for y;the first four or five generations, as given in the follow- oat}\i*Tf»A ' mo r»acr#»c Vine ViA#»n liv frit**writer nlmnct *»V- ing pages, has been gathered by the writer almost ex- clusively from original investigations in church registers, records of deeds and wills, and from tombstones. For the accounts of the later generations, and particularly of those scattered far from their ancestral homes, he has had to rely largely upon correspondence, often dilatory and otherwise unsatisfactory, but in very many cases prompt, intelligent and interested. It would be a pleasure, did not delicacy forbid, to mention some of those who have cordially re- sponded to the author's requests for information, and who have thus materially aided inmaking this little work more complete. Much effort has been expended in seeking toTrace the family history in Holland and beyond. In September, 1896, the transcripts from the church records at Middel- burg, given on pages 200-201, relating to the marriage of Cornelis Doremus, and the baptisms of his children, were secured. Further investigations in this direction, and in order to get light on the origin and meaning of the name, have been fruitless up to the present time. Ithas been a pleasant surprise to find how far afield the descendants of the simple Acquackanonk farmer have pushed their fortunes during the last two centuries. They are scattered through more than thirty States. Everywhere the sturdy honesty of their common ancestor has been a persistent trait among his posterity. Perhaps itis unnecessary to explain that the spelling of proper names in this book follows strictly the records or documents in which they are found. The translations of Christian names, and their pronuncia- tion, given on pages 202-204, will be interesting and help- ful to many. PATERSON, N. J., July 13, 1897. William Nelson. ILLUSTRATIONS.

Pamily tradition asserts that the Doremuses were origin- * ally from France, in which case the name may be a cor- ruption of de Rheims, signifying that they came from that ancient town. Whatever may be the remote origin of the family, certain it is that the first settler hereabouts and his children were all called Doremus, with very little variation in the spelling. Thia is evidently a Latinized form of the original name, wnich is said to have been Dore. Goet- schius and Marinus are familiar instances of the kind. The earliest mention that has been found of the name Doremus is under date of April11, 1687, in the church records at Ber- gen, when Thomas was baptized, son of Cornelis Doremus, of Middelburg, and Jannetje Joris, of Elsland. That is ab- solutely all we know about the origin of the father and mother of the numerous Doremus family of this region. Doubtless they had come to this country very soon before— the date mentioned, and—brought with them two children Cornelis and Johannes both born in Middelburg.l This famous town, the chief city of the Province of Zeeland, sit- uated on the island of Walcheren, in the southwestern part of Holland, has a history dating back at least nine hundred years, and in its long annals there figure sieges in 1217, 1288, 1574 (l>y the Spanish), in1809 (by the English), and in 1814 (by the French). Fire, as well as the sword, has been its portion. In the year that Columbus sailetl across the Atlantic ocean to the new world, Middelburg was for the most part laid inashes. The rivals of Columbus, the East India Company, had here great ship-yards, and the commerce of the town exceeded even its extensive manu- 1 There is a family tradition that a third son died on the voyage and was buried at sea. 6 — factures. Although the population— 15,000 is only half what it was in 1795, the town presents an imposing aspect, withits graceful towers, its numerous lofty buildings, its handsome dwellings, well-kept streets and busy quays. The wife of Cornells Doremus, Jannetje Joris, gave to a long line of her descendants her father's baptismal name, George. She was probably from some hamlet in the vicin- ity of Middelburg, so abounding in alder as to give its name to the locality—Elsland, Alderland. The immigrants seem to have been blessed with a larger share of worldly goods than was the lot of most of the new arrivals from the mother country, for even in1708 Cornelis Doremus had ac- quired the extensive farm at Wesel, lying on the north side of the Wesel drift way (now widened and straightened, and known as Crooks avenue), and extending from the river to the mountain, having a width of about ten chains, and containing about one hundred and fifty acres. This is now in the extreme southeastern and southern section of the city of Paterson. Cedar Lawn cemetery now covers part of the farm; Lake View a larger portion, and South Paterson still another part. In1711 Cornelius joined with seven of his neighbors in purchasing from Peter Sonmans, of Perth Amboy, one of the East Jersey Proprietors, a tract described as containing 2,800 acres, but actually much more, on the Wesel mountain, extending from the steep rocks at the Falls to the headwaters of the Peckamin river, where now is the village of Cedar Grove. The deed bear.= date Nov. 27, 1711, and the consideration was £660 New York money, besides a yearly quit-rent of "one peppercorn if lawfully demanded." Doremus was allotted one-eighth of this tract, embracing the Cedar Grove neighborhood. He settled his son Thomas on this mountain purchase, but remained al- ways on his own farm at Wesel. His residence was proba- blynear the river bank, the site being now under water. Cornelis never mastered the intricacies of the English language, as will be seen by his will, though that may have been drafted by some friend who .had more confi- dence in his literary ability.

  • Origen De La Enfermería En El Cine: El Género Histórico-Documental Y Biográfico
    ORIGEN DE LA ENFERMERÍA EN EL CINE: EL GÉNERO HISTÓRICO- DOCUMENTAL Y BIOGRÁFICO José Siles González Universidad de Alicante INTRODUCCIÓN El cine y las películas constituyen una herramienta fundamental para transmitir los fe- nómenos humanos en toda su complejidad, sin renunciar a ninguna de las dimensiones que intervienen en los acontecimientos. Ya Terencio y Shakespeare formularon la famosa frase: «Nada de lo humano me es ajeno». La enfermedad, el dolor, la muerte forman parte de la na- turaleza humana y, más tarde o temprano, de una u otro forma, acaban arribando a la existen- cia de todos los seres humanos que experimentan sus vivencias de forma tan diversa como compleja; es decir, mediante un determinado tipo de estética experiencial. Al cine, nada de lo humano le es ajeno y, particularmente, aquellos fenómenos vinculados a situaciones que producen cambios notables en quienes las viven (enfermedades, dolencias, pérdidas, etc.). Carper (1999) incluyó la dimensión estética como la cuarta integrante de los cuatro niveles del conocimiento enfermero (empírico-científico, ético, personal y estético). Otros autores desarrollaron modelos basándose en estos diferentes patrones y reinterpretando el conoci- miento estético desde las necesidades tanto del paciente como de la práctica profesional de enfermería partiendo de la base de la pertinencia de la estética ante situaciones –como el sufrimiento ante la enfermedad– donde el pensamiento subjetivo adquiere una gran intensi- dad (Chinn, 1994). Debido a su potencial de configuración ideológica (Lebel, 1973), el cine ha desempeña- do un papel determinante en el desarrollo de clichés, estereotipos y en una amplia gama de modelado de todos aquellos asuntos que forman parte de la realidad histórica.

Dat klinkt duister en kil en riekt naar spinnenwebben en vochtig beschimmelde hoekjes. Maar dat pakt anders uit. Deze uitgave, samengesteld uit twaalf delen, biedt de meer dan gemiddeld geïnteresseerde, verhelderende kaartjes, duidelijke teksten en foto’s van de historisch- geografische regio’s van Nederland. Zo geeft het een compleet beeld van Nederland anno toen, nu en de tijd die daar tussen zit. De hoofdstukken over de deelgebieden/regio’s schetsen in het kort een karakteristiek per gebied. De cultuurhistorische blikvangers worden gepresenteerd. Voor de fijnproevers volgt hierna een nadere uiteenzetting. De ontwikkeling van het landschap, de bodem en het reliëf, en de bewoningsgeschiedenis worden in beeld gebracht. Het gaat over de ligging van dorpen en steden, de verkavelingsvormen in het agrarisch land, de loop van wegen, kanalen en spoorlijnen, dijkenpatronen, waterlopen, defensielinies met fortificaties.

  • A Theological Reading of the Gideon-Abimelech Narrative
    YAHWEH vERsus BAALISM A THEOLOGICAL READING OF THE GIDEON-ABIMELECH NARRATIVE WOLFGANG BLUEDORN A thesis submitted to Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts & Humanities April 1999 ABSTRACT This study attemptsto describethe contribution of the Abimelech narrative for the theologyof Judges.It is claimedthat the Gideonnarrative and the Abimelechnarrative need to be viewed as one narrative that focuseson the demonstrationof YHWH'S superiority over Baalism, and that the deliverance from the Midianites in the Gideon narrative, Abimelech's kingship, and the theme of retribution in the Abimelech narrative serve as the tangible matter by which the abstracttheological theme becomesnarratable. The introduction to the Gideon narrative, which focuses on Israel's idolatry in a previously unparalleled way in Judges,anticipates a theological narrative to demonstrate that YHWH is god. YHwH's prophet defines the general theological background and theme for the narrative by accusing Israel of having abandonedYHwH despite his deeds in their history and having worshipped foreign gods instead. YHWH calls Gideon to demolish the idolatrous objects of Baalism in response, so that Baalism becomes an example of any idolatrous cult. Joash as the representativeof Baalism specifies the defined theme by proposing that whichever god demonstrateshis divine power shall be recognised as god. The following episodesof the battle against the Midianites contrast Gideon's inadequateresources with his selfish attempt to be honoured for the victory, assignthe victory to YHWH,who remains in control and who thus demonstrateshis divine power, and show that Baal is not presentin the narrative.

Cover image: Artist impression of tidal energy extraction in the Eastern Scheldt, The Netherlands (source: Jaarbericht Rijkswaterstaat 2015, p. 39) Preface This additional graduation work is submitted as part of the Master’s program Hydraulic Engineering at Delft University of Technology. I am convinced that, if humanity wants to maintain the quality of life that is experienced today, we should invest in more sustainable forms of energy generation. The subject of tidal energy extraction has drawn my attention since the power of water fascinates me. With this additional graduation work I hope to contribute to the knowledge that is being developed in the field of tidal energy. I would like to thank the members of this additional thesis committee prof. dr. ir. W.S.J. Uijttewaal, dr. ir. R.J. Labeur and MSc M.C. Verbeek for the feedback and guidance throughout this research. I owe a special word of thanks to Merel Verbeek, who provided me with this subject and was always open to answer my questions.
