The colonial administrator John Adam (1779-1825), was the eldest son of Scottish politician and advocate William Adam of Blair Adam, FRSE, KC (1751-1839), and was educated at Charterhouse School and, following his nomination to a writership in Bengal in 1794, spent a year at Edinburgh University; ‘He arrived in Calcutta in 1796 and subsequently spent the greater part of his career there in military and political administration […] In 1819 Adam took up a seat on the governor-general’s council and from January to August 1823 he served as acting governor-general during the interregnum between the administrations of Lord Hastings and Lord Amherst. His seven months in power were active ones. He added four regiments to the Bengal army, enlarged the judicial establishment, assigned an annual grant of 100,000 rupees to Indian education, and appropriated Calcutta’s town duties for public works in the city […] Adam’s health had long been poor, but he delayed his departure for England to see Amherst settled into office. He sailed in March 1825 but died on 4 June off the coast of Madagascar. His reputation for charitable and principled behaviour had won him much respect in Calcutta. His portrait was painted by George Chinnery for the Calcutta town hall and a monument to his memory in St John’s Church, Calcutta, was raised by public subscription’ (ODNB). This memorial volume was compiled by John Adam’s father, the Foxite politician and advocate William Adam, who ended his political and legal career as Lord Chief Commissioner of the newly created Jury Court in Edinburgh. The work was presumably privately published by William Adam, and copies were send to his friends and associates, and other copies are known in a binding with the same title lettered on the upper board (e.g. National Library of Scotland), suggesting that this was indeed bound for presentation by William Adam (certainly, the endpapers are watermarked 1829, the year before the volume was inscribed). The recipient of this copy was the politician and sometime Prime Minister Lord Grenville, a political associate and ally of Adam (and also, like Adam, of Fox); curiously, Grenville had been offered the Governor-Generalship of India in 1784 by Pitt, but had declined it. THE SOUL IS MORTAL FIRST APPEARANCE OF A CRUCIAL WORK FOUNDED ON ARISTOTLE’S ON THE SOUL 2. ALEXANDER OF APHRODISIAS. De anima ex Aristotelis institutione. [Brescia, Bernardinus de Misintis, 13 September 1495 (colophon)]. 4to, ff. 91 (of 92, without the initial blank); with large woodcut initial, capital spaces with guide-letters; occasional light marginal dampstaining far from text, outer margin of the last leaf skilfully repaired, but a very good, clean copy retaining wide margins, bearing several uncropped contemporary annotations; bound in modern calf panelled in blind. £3500 First edition, rare, of Alexander of Aphrodisias’ De anima. Conceived along the lines of Aristotle’s own On the soul, this treatise, one of the original works by the third-century philosopher who by the sixth century had established himself as the most relied-upon commentator of Aristotle so as to be called simply ‘The exegete’, exerted momentous influence on the development of Renaissance philosophy . The main, and deeply controversial, contention is that the reasoning faculty in mankind is inseparable from the body, and that therefore the soul is mortal. Aphrodisias ‘treats the human soul as the perishable form imposed upon the bodily elements to constitute a living human being, and argues that the intellect develops from an embodied intellect focused upon the material world to a state that eventually contains forms no longer embodied. He rules out personal immortality by identifying the active intellect at the same time with pure form and with God, the Unmoved Mover’ (D. Frede in Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy). Despite a condemnation issued in 1210 by the Paris Church Council, which was aimed at Aphrodisias’ works as well as other unorthodox literature, Alexander’s theory on the mortality of the soul survived and thrived, fostered by the keen esteem in which his corpus was held by the Arabs, who produced numerous translations. In the Latin world this works was divulged primarily thanks to the present translation, by Hieronymus Donatus. Aphrodisias’ anti-Thomistic doctrine of the mortality of the soul shaped the philosophy of some of the protagonists of the early Renaissance. Most notably, it was embraced by Pomponazzi, who lectured on Aristotle’s De anima in Ferrara and wrote his own De immortalitate animae in 1516, to incensed controversy. His treatise, a sort of manifesto for philosophers who, in clear recognition of Aphrodisias’ paternity, called themselves Alexandrists, was condemned and burnt in Venice. ‘Due to his mortalist theory of the soul, 17th-century “free thinkers” regarded Pomponazzi as one of their own, portraying him as an atheist. Enlightenment thinkers of the 18th century pushed to extremes his distinction between natural reason and faith, while 19th-century positivists, such as Ernest Renan and Roberto Ardigò, saw in Pomponazzi a forerunner of their own beliefs and a champion of naturalism and empiricism ’ (S. Perfetti in Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy). ISTC ia00386000; BMC VII:989; Goff A-386; H 656*; GW 859; Polain 111 [1: KBR; IGI 283; Klebs 45.1; Bod-inc A-162.

In the present work and in An Enquiry into the Nature of the Corn-laws, published the same year, James Anderson (1739–1808), a Scottish gentleman farmer, ‘invented the “Ricardian” theory of rent ... He had to an unusual degree what so many economists lack, Vision’, writes Schumpeter. ‘One of the most interesting British economists of the late eighteenth century, Anderson, boldy asserted that man’s power to increase the productiveness of his fields was such “as to make it keep pace with his population whatever that might be”. This has been interpreted to spell denial of the law of decreasing returns, Malthus being the first of Anderson’s critics to misunderstand him in this sense. But Anderson’s emphasis was not upon the product but upon the productiveness of land. And this, together with his reference to “discoveries” which occurs in the same passage should be sufficient proof that all he was thinking of was what we have just decided to dub Historical Increasing Returns. In Anderson’s case, it is particularly easy to satisfy ourselves that his no doubt exaggerated ideas concerning these possibilities were compatible with the recognition of the law of decreasing returns ... In his Observations of 1777 he arrived at the conclusion that the rent of land is a premium paid for the privilege of cultivating soils that are more fertile than others, and in his Enquiry of the same year he formulated more precisely the conditions which ... established the formula’ (Schumpeter, pp. 263-5).

The Father of the House in the current (2019) Parliament is Sir Peter Bottomley, who was first elected to the House in a by-election in 1975. Under Standing Order No 1, as long as the Father of the House is not a Minister, he takes the Chair when the House elects a Speaker. He has no other formal duties. There is evidence of the title having been used in the 18th century. However, the origin of the term is not clear and it is likely that different qualifications were used in the past. The Father of the House is not necessarily the oldest Member.

  • Shana Vijayan Thesis.Pdf
    Performance Anxiety: The nature of performance management in the NHS under New Labour Shana Vijayan Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Science and Technology Studies University College London 0 Declaration I, Shana Vijayan, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 1 Abstract This thesis explores both the proliferation and prominence of ‘performance’ in the NHS, focusing on the New Labour years from 1997-2010. The research’s main objective was to understand how performance policy impacts the work-place experience: to understand the nature of work undertaken by performance managers, the tools used and the effect of these techniques. The secondary objective was to understand the goals of performance management. The introduction and rise of performance saw a change in expert authority. A new set of professionals had arrived in the NHS: regulators, auditors and performance managers. This thesis looks at the performance managers’ body of expertise, drawing upon several forms of qualitative research. The primary research tool used was institutional ethnography, which included focused interviews, a case study and experiences and notes gathered during a period based as a participant in NHS organisations. Documentary analysis carried out in the first phase of this thesis revealed that the principal rhetoric employed by politicians concerned the function of performance management in reducing risk and harm to patients. However, further research based on interviews and ethnography suggests that performance was experienced as a process of rationalisation and stigma, with risk rarely mentioned in the same way as in policy documents.

  • Representation and Spatial Practice in Varanasi (India)
    Sacred Journeys and Profane Travellers: Representation and Spatial Practice in Varanasi (India) Cristiana Zara Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2011 DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON Declaration of Authorship I Cristiana Zara hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with tourist representations and practices in India. Orientalist aesthetics have often associated this country with notions of spirituality and mysticism; tourist narratives sustain and reinforce such representations by describing India as a land of ancient rituals and timeless traditions. The visual construction of India’s ‘spiritual landscapes’ has been largely deployed as a powerful tool for subduing the unfamiliar Other within reassuring epistemological categories. However, tourism research has recently become interested in exploring the role of tourist practices in landscape production. Not only do tourists ‘gaze upon’ landscapes, they also script landscapes through practices and performances. By focusing on the case of Varanasi, the Indian pilgrimage city on the banks of the Ganges, this thesis shows how tourist practices (re)produce and make sense of the city’s ‘sacredscape’. Special attention is paid to the riverfront, which epitomizes the cultural and spiritual significance ascribed to the city. Both Hindu and tourist narratives depict the riverfront as embodying a special power, a unique meaning, whether this uniqueness is held to be a ‘spiritual’ or a ‘picturesque’ one. The thesis analyses the city’s riverfront as the place where tourist, ritual, and day-to-day activities are played out and negotiated, and where the aesthetics of landscape is confronted with the materialities and the practices inherent to this place.

  • Eine Radtour Rund Um Den Hesselberg Unsere Radwanderung
    Eine Radtour rund um den Hesselberg Für eine Radrundtour um den Hesselberg gibt es mehrere Ausgangspunkte, nämlich die Städte Gunzenhausen, Dinkelsbühl, Wassertrüdingen und Feuchtwangen oder die Orte dazwischen. Unsere Radwanderung um den Hesselberg Die Fahrradtour unserer Schulklasse führte uns in zwei Tagen am 11. /12. Juli 2017 zum Dennenloher See, wo wir auf dem dortigen Campingplatz übernachteten. Am 11.07. fuhr unsere 9. Klasse von unserem Treffpunkt in Schopfloch, das liegt zwischen Feuchtwangen und Dinkelsbühl, über Dürrwangen und Ehingen zum Dennenloher See. Während unserer vierstündigen Fahrt machten wir unterwegs mehrere Stopps und erkundeten Spuren des Limes im Gelände. Dazu hatten wir uns im Internet und in Sachbüchern fachkundig gemacht und konnten so in kleinen Gruppen an den jeweiligen Orten unsere Themen vorstellen. Außerdem waren GPS- Geräte und Fahrradcomputer eine wichtige Hilfe beim Auffinden einzelner Orte. Erstmals überquerten wir den Limes zwischen Langfurth und Ehingen. An der Hammerschmiede suchten wir im Gelände den Standort des Kastells Dambach und die Reste des kleinen Amphitheaters. Eine Hinweistafel informiert dort über die Lage des Kastells und das römische Dorf (vicus). Die Funde, die man 2008 gemacht hat, sind im Limeseum Ruffenhofen ausgestellt. Auch entdecken wir die Überbleibsel eines römischen Wachturms im Heidewald. Kurze Zeit später kamen wir am Campingplatz beim Dennenloher See an – nach immerhin 33 km. Nachdem die Mädchen ihre Schlafplätze im Matratzenlager bezogen hatten und die Jungs ihre Zelte aufgebaut hatten, gingen wir im Dennenloher See baden. Später spielten wir noch Beachvolleyball und ließen den Tag beim Grillen in bester Stimmung ausklingen. Das Abendprogramm organisierten wir selbst. Der nächste Tag begann mit dem Frühstück, für das die Kioskbetreiber frische Brötchen bereitstellten.

  • 46 Maria Bogucka
    Acta Poloniae Historica 62, 1990 PL ISSN 0001 - 6829 Maria Bogucka MARY STUART IN LEGEND* Modern biography is increasingly more seldom satisfied with the presentation of lives of outstanding personages, but in order to fully appreciate their role it reaches out for the posthumous fortunes of its heroes. The study of legends that surround certain personalities, legends which may have little in common with their real life story and yet throughout centuries live their own lives, frequently richer than the real ones, is an exciting task. Many facts seen in this light take on new meaning ; popularity and persistence of certain threads allows one to discover the secret ways in which historical consciousness is formed, which so often has a lot in common with the subconscious, and at any rate it grows out of it. On the other hand, one happens to come across the traces of manipulating the legend, creating it out of political or religious motivations, or utilizing it for the current needs of social groups or even whole nations. One of the most famous women in history—Mary Stuart— gave birth to a legend, or more precisely speaking to two, extremely controversial legends : the white and the black one. Controversy around them goes on to this day. However, although the bibliography of works connected with the tragic fate of the * The research for this essay was completed during two stays abroad : in 1984 at Wolfenbüttel, FRG (Herzog-August-Bibliothek fellowship) and in 1988 at Wassenaar, the Netherlands (fellowship of the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Science).

  • Village Infill Development in Bavaria, Germany
    sustainability Article Lessons in Rural Persuasion: Village Infill Development in Bavaria, Germany Jennifer Gerend Department of Agriculture, Food, and Nutrition, Master of Regional Management Program, Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences, Campus Triesdorf, 91746 Weidenbach, Germany; [email protected] Received: 14 September 2020; Accepted: 13 October 2020; Published: 19 October 2020 Abstract: Sustainable rural development in Germany was examined by linking conceptual and applied aspects of the land and housing question, broadly considering the ownership, use, and regulation of land. In the state of Bavaria, a new interagency initiative aims to curb land consumption by persuading villagers to embrace rural infill development. The study explored the background debate leading up to the Space-saving Offensive (Flächensparoffensive), the resource providers involved, and the options for funding actual rural infill building and renovation projects. Here, space-saving managers and other resource providers actively promote the positive societal meaning of central infill sites in contrast to unsustainable land consumption. In addition to the communications campaign, planning, regulatory, and funding interventions round out the multi-level initiative, as described in this study. A modern barn reuse exemplifies the Bavarian bundle of resources, while demonstrating how modern village infill redevelopment also contests oversimplified notions of stagnant rural peripheries. The initiative’s focus on linking key resources and bolstering
