  • Foxe's Book of Martyrs
    FOXE'S BOOK OF MARTYRS CHAPTER I - History of Christian Martyrs to the First General Persecutions Under Nero Christ our Savior, in the Gospel of St. Matthew, hearing the confession of Simon Peter, who, first of all other, openly acknowledged Him to be the Son of God, and perceiving the secret hand of His Father therein, called him (alluding to his name) a rock, upon which rock He would build His Church so strong that the gates of hell should not prevail against it. In which words three things are to be noted: First, that Christ will have a Church in this world. Secondly, that the same Church should mightily be impugned, not only by the world, but also by the uttermost strength and powers of all hell. And, thirdly, that the same Church, notwithstanding the uttermost of the devil and all his malice, should continue. Which prophecy of Christ we see wonderfully to be verified, insomuch that the whole course of the Church to this day may seem nothing else but a verifying of the said prophecy. First, that Christ hath set up a Church, needeth no declaration. Secondly, what force of princes, kings, monarchs, governors, and rulers of this world, with their subjects, publicly and privately, with all their strength and cunning, have bent themselves against this Church! And, thirdly, how the said Church, all this notwithstanding, hath yet endured and holden its own! What storms and tempests it hath overpast, wondrous it is to behold: for the more evident declaration whereof, I have addressed this present history, to the end, first, that the wonderful works of God in His Church might appear to His glory; also that, the continuance and proceedings of the Church, from time to time, being set forth, more knowledge and experience may redound thereby, to the profit of the reader and edification of Christian faith.

    1 Hillsdale College 2018 - 2019 Catalog 2 3 Welcome to Hillsdale College independent, four-year college in south-central Michigan, Hillsdale College offers the An rigorous and lively academic experience one expects of a tier-one liberal arts college, and it stands out for its commitment to the enduring principles of the Western tradition. Its core curriculum embodies this commitment through required courses in disciplines such as history, literature, science and politics in order to develop in students the “philosophical habit of mind” essential to sound education. Likewise, majors at Hillsdale are a rigorous and searching extension of these commitments. Ranging from classics or music to chemistry or business, academic fields of concentration build upon the core curriculum, deepening and specifying students’ appreciation for and understanding of the liberal arts. Hillsdale College is dedicated to intellectual inquiry and to learning, and it recognizes essential human dignity. Ordered liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, free enterprise and man’s moral, intellectual and spiritual nature illuminate this dignity and identify the service of the College to its students, the nation, and the Western intellectual and religious tradition. Far-ranging by design and incisive by method, study at Hillsdale College is intellectually demanding. Students work closely with faculty who guide them in their studies, helping students to prepare for a lifetime of accomplishment, leadership, and learning. For more information about Hillsdale College or to arrange a visit, call the Admissions Office at (517) 607-2327, or e-mail [email protected]. • College, founded in 1844, is an independent, coeducational, resi- Hillsdale dential, nonsectarian college for about 1,460 students.

  • POLISH ART NOUVEAU, 1890-1910 Hannah Justine Marchman a Thesis
    NATIONALISM IN AN INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT: POLISH ART NOUVEAU, 1890-1910 Hannah Justine Marchman A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Curriculum in Russian and East European Studies in the College of Arts & Sciences. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Ewa Wampuszyc Pamela Kachurin Chad Bryant © 2012 Hannah Justine Marchman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract HANNAH MARCHMAN: Nationalism in an International Movement: Polish Art Nouveau, 1890-1910 (Under the direction of Ewa Wampuszyc) While the Art Nouveau movement in Europe has been extensively studied, Polish art has been largely left out of the discussion. However, this absence should not be considered as proof that Polish artists did not create art works in the Art Nouveau style. In fact, Art Nouveau was prevalent in Poland, but unlike the movement in Europe, Polish Art Nouveau tended to have political undertones. This thesis examines how Polish artists adapted the wider Art Nouveau movement to Polish culture, and assisted the political agenda that Polish art had been charged with in the aftermath of the eighteenth century partitions. Furthermore, this thesis describes the wider Polish Art Nouveau movement and looks at the underlying meanings of paintings, stained glass window designs, posters, and postcards from 1890 to 1910. iii This thesis is dedicated to my wonderful husband Patrick. His support, encouragement, and unconditional love kept me going. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Foremost, I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Ewa Wampuszyc for her patience, encouragement, and immense knowledge.

Bell Layout & Cover Design Evan Wakal Special Thanks The Dalhousie History Department The Dalhousie Undergraduate History Society Editor’s Note The Pangaea journal, sponsored by the Undergraduate History Society, is designed to showcase the efforts and achievements of research and writing within the history department. As one will see within this edition of the journal, the papers within come from a variety of interests, time periods, geographies, and themes to produce the best overall representation of the work done by students within history classes. Pangaea is special in that it not only presents work by History majors but also those who are only beginning to explore the realm of historical writing. Thus, not only do we hope to promote the writings of those students who are to continue within this field of academia but encourage the work of others on an academia level! This year’s edition of Pangaea has been an absolute dream to put together due to the number of submissions which we received and the wide variety of themes and geographical locations which are discussed. We received many excellent submissions, and it was difficult to have to leave some out. Yet, we believe we have provided an excellent collection which not only showcases the student’s labours but also showcase the undergraduate history student body. As you will see within the journal, this year’s edition has taken some extra steps to further showcase the students within the history department.

The question, however, remains as to what extent this reported scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe, and appeal to Europe institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.
