He concentrates on essentials, dealing succinctly with the huge volume of commentary and controversy which the play has provoked and offering a way forward which enables us once again to recognise its full tragic energy. The introduction and commentary reveal an author with a lively awareness of the importance of perceiving the play as a theatrical document, one which comes to life, which is completed only in performance.'

    Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early

    Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Rachel Tamar Van All Rights Reserved. ABSTRACT Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van This study examines the international flow of ideas and goods in eighteenth and nineteenth century New England port towns through the experience of a Boston-based commercial network. It traces the evolution of the commercial network established by the intertwined Perkins, Forbes, and Sturgis families of Boston from its foundations in the Atlantic fur trade in the 1740s to the crises of succession in the early 1840s. The allied Perkins firms and families established one of the most successful American trading networks of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and as such it provides fertile ground for investigating mercantile strategies in early America. An analysis of the Perkins family’s commercial network yields three core insights. First, the Perkinses illuminate the ways in which American mercantile strategies shaped global capitalism. The strategies and practices of American merchants and mariners contributed to a growing international critique of mercantilist principles and chartered trading monopolies. While the Perkinses did not consider themselves “free traders,” British observers did. Their penchant for smuggling and seeking out niches of trade created by competing mercantilist trading companies meant that to critics of British mercantilist policies, American merchants had an unfair advantage that only the liberalization of trade policy could rectify.

  • Links in the Chain: British Slavery, Victoria and South Australia

    Links in the Chain: British Slavery, Victoria and South Australia

    BEFORE / NOW Vol. 1 No. 1 Links in the Chain: British slavery, Victoria and South Australia By C. J. Coventry KEYWORDS Abstract Slavery; compensation; Beneficiaries of British slavery were present in colonial Victoria and provincial South British West Indies; colonial Victoria; provincial South Australia, a link overlooked by successive generations of historians. The Legacies of Australia; Legacies of British British-slave Ownership database, hosted by University College, London, reveals many Slave-ownership; people in these colonies as having been connected to slave money awarded as compensation place-names. by the Imperial Parliament in the 1830s. This article sets out the beneficiaries to demonstrate the scope of exposure of the colonies to slavery. The list includes governors, jurists, politicians, clergy, writers, graziers and financiers, as well as various instrumental founders of South Australia. While Victoria is likely to have received more of this capital than South Australia, the historical significance of compensation is greater for the latter because capital from beneficiaries of slavery, particularly George Fife Angas and Raikes Currie, ensured its creation. Evidence of beneficiaries of slavery surrounds us in the present in various public honours and notable buildings. Introduction Until recently slavery in Australia was thought to be associated only with the history of Queensland and the practice of ‘blackbirding’. However, the work undertaken by the Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slave-ownership at the University College, London, demonstrates the importance of slavery to the British Empire more generally. The UCL’s Legacies of British Slave-ownership database catalogues the people who sought compensation from the Imperial Parliament for slaves emancipated in the 1830s, in recognition of their loss of property.

  • Estate Fraud and Spurious Pedigrees

    Estate Fraud and Spurious Pedigrees

    ESTATE FRAUD AND SPURIOUS PEDIGREES by Helen Hinchliff, Ph.D.* From at least 1871 and probably as much as a century earlier; recurring at intervals approximately a generation apart; and likely to carry on to some degree ad infinitum, estate fraud has been perpetrated on hundreds of thousands of would-be "heirs" throughout the English-speaking world. Dozens of family names have been associated with one or more incredibly valuable, but nevertheless completely fictitious estates. In misguided efforts to qualify for a "rightful share" in an estate that would forever elude them, many hopeful "heirs" and more than a few deceitful ones have created fanciful forebears and false lines of descent. Almost invariably the "estates" were associated with frequently-occurring family names; consequently, a mistakenly-identified or purposefully-manufactured ancestor could be lurking in the background of many an unsuspecting genealogist. This monograph does five things: (1) relates the origins of estate fraud; (2) describes how the basic fraud operated; (3) differentiates between two types of "heirs"; (4) itemizes some of the more famous "estates"; and (5) argues that the creation of false lines of descent and forged documents were endemic among those seeking to prove their entitlement to millions of non-existent dollars. Using the "Edwards Estate" as a case study, this paper reports some unlikely places where basic documents were "found"; illustrates the ways in which "heirs" copied the ancestries of others and/or modified them to suit their own purposes; and provides a documented chronology in the alteration of the names, dates and places of residence of ancestors in the author's line of descent.

Ashville, NC 28804 Wharton, Texas March 17, 1951 Mrs Jas S Beasley Royal Cake Nashville 5, Tennessee Dear Mrs Beasley: Your address was sent to me by Mrs Jackson of Amarillo, with whom I have had correspondence regarding the EDWARDS Family. It seems many of us are descendants of the illustrious EDWARDS Family, but as their descendants are legion, it is a problem to stay on the right line. I have accumulated much EDWARDS data in my search and occasionally have the thrill of passing some on which ties in and helps someone else or put people in touch with each other who are searching the same line, as research is one of my hobbies. Many people have helped me too on my numerous families, for which I am very grateful. Mrs Jacksons and my lines are not the same. Your line and my line could be. Here is my line and if it ties in with yours along the way won’t you please let me hear from you. I go back through a paternal grandmother- Henrietta Randolph M Edwards m Willis McLendon in Talbot Co, GA, 1849.
