Might formal federation of the empire, statesmen wondered, prevent its future dismemberment? Colley's investigation of British integration and disintegration is, she reminds us, inseparable from the history of British colonisation overseas. By the same token, we also need to take into account, she argues, Britain's semi-detached connection to Europe. Between and , the Hanoverians ruled over a composite state, Britain-Hanover. As the German kingdom of Hanover did not descend in the female line, this dynastic union ended on the accession of Queen Victoria to the British throne. Gibraltar too has been a vital strategic possession since the war of the Spanish succession. Yet, a referendum on the Anglo-Scottish Union seems likely to be followed in the UK or its rump by one on continued membership of the European Union. Have the combined pressures of European integration, domestic devolution and the lack of a specific parliament or assembly for England, Colley wonders, provoked a crisis of English identity? The Scottish debate over independence, in contrast, has been dominated by the vexed question of whether an independent Scotland would enjoy automatic entry into the EU. Nationalists, she laments, invoke history only to distort it. Topics Politics books. Acts of Union - Wikipedia This episode is related to United Kingdom.

BBC Radio 4 - Acts of Union and Disunion Its government has to acknowledge the distinctiveness and quasi-autonomy of its component parts, while also having a vision for, and projecting an idea of, the whole. A written constitution might be one way of helping people to sort out a new kind of unionism. And if not that, well, why not a charter of UK rights? For instance, the move to pull shipbuilding out of Portsmouth may indeed have been based on purely commercial and economic factors, but as these decisions accumulate they are going to build up a lot of English resentment, and this is part of what is feeding into UKIP. Why should Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland have their own representative assembly, but not England? So you need a more explicitly federal system in which the four parts of the UK each have their own assembly, with the Westminster parliament focusing on cross-border and over-arching issues such as foreign

    Archives & Special Collections, Columbia University Health Sciences Library Auchincloss Florence Nightingale Collection AUCHINCLOSS, HUGH, 1878-1947, collector. FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE FUND LETTERS, 1848-1898 (bulk 1855-1856) 1 cubic foot (3 boxes) BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Hugh Auchincloss was born Dec. 28, 1878 in New York City. He was educated at Groton, was graduated from Yale in 1901, and received his medical degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S), Columbia University, in 1905. After surgical residencies at Presbyterian and Roosevelt Hospitals in New York, he began a long association with both Presbyterian Hospital and P&S, eventually becoming Chief of the Second Surgical Division of Presbyterian and Professor of Clinical Surgery at P&S. He was best known for his skill in surgery of the hand and of the breast. He died in 1947. Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820, in Florence, Italy to William Edward and Frances Smith Nightingale. Educated at home by her father, she later rejected the traditional role and pursuits of an upper-class Victorian lady to devote herself to nursing reform and public health advocacy. She became an iconic figure in Victorian Britain through her work nursing British troops during the Crimean War (1854-1856). Afterwards, though an invalid for most the rest of her life, Nightingale became an influential voice in government public health policy in late 19th century Britain, especially as it affected India. Nightingale died on August 13, 1910. HISTORICAL NOTE: The Florence Nightingale Fund was created as a result of the work of a group led by author Anna Maria Hall, her husband, journalist Samuel Carter Hall and statesman Sir Sidney Herbert and his wife, writer and prominent social figure Elizabeth Herbert, who in 1855 organized a public subscription to create a testament to Britain’s appreciation Florence Nightingale’s service to the nation during the Crimean War.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

  • SCOTLAND and the BRITISH ARMY C.1700-C.1750
    SCOTLAND AND THE BRITISH ARMY c.1700-c.1750 By VICTORIA HENSHAW A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The historiography of Scotland and the British army in the eighteenth century largely concerns the suppression of the Jacobite risings – especially that of 1745-6 – and the growing assimilation of Highland soldiers into its ranks during and after the Seven Years War. However, this excludes the other roles and purposes of the British army, the contribution of Lowlanders to the British army and the military involvement of Scots of all origin in the British army prior to the dramatic increase in Scottish recruitment in the 1750s. This thesis redresses this imbalance towards Jacobite suppression by examining the place of Scotland and the role of Highland and Lowland Scots in the British army during the first half of the eighteenth century, at a time of change fuelled by the Union of 1707 and the Jacobite rebellions of the period.

THE Hamiltons, so far as trustworthy evidence goes, cannot equal in descent either the Stewarts or Douglases, their history beginning about two hundred years later than that of the former, and one hundred years later than that of the latter ; still their antiquity is considerable. In the introduction to the first chapter I have dealt with the suggested earlier origin of the family. The Hamiltons were conspicuous in their loyalty to Queen Mary, and, judging by the number of marriages between members of the different branches, they were also loyal to their race. Throughout their history one hears little of the violent deeds which charac- terised the Stewarts and Douglases, and one may truthfully say the race has generally been a peaceful one.

    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
