  • Interpreting Travel Writings of the Ticknors and Other Privileg
    WHAT AMERICANS SAID ABOUT SAXONY, AND WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT THEM: INTERPRETING TRAVEL WRITINGS OF THE TICKNORS AND OTHER PRIVILEGED AMERICANS 1800-1850 by ASHLEY SIDES Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2008 Copyright © by Ashley Sides 2008 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To God I am thankful for the fascinating complexity of humanity, which makes the study of history so challenging and interesting, and for the opportunity and ability to pursue studies of this history. I am also deeply grateful for the support of my wife, Jamie, through this process. From the very beginning she has made my goals hers, has encouraged me, and has patiently sacrificed to help me get through this Master’s program. I dedicate this work to her. I have been blessed to study under excellent professors at the University of Texas at Arlington. Some, in particular, stand out. Professor Thomas Adam has been the most important influence in my graduate studies. He introduced me to the Ticknors and their journals in the first place, and has mentored me through a graduate research assistantship and this thesis. I am indebted to him for the topic of this thesis, which he suggested and I ultimately found quite fascinating. Professors Steven Reinhardt and Joyce Goldberg have helped me to improve my writing by their strict emphasis on good use of language. I also greatly enjoyed working for Professor Goldberg as a graduate teaching assistant, in the process learning a lot about the art of teaching college students.

  • Silesian Administrative Authorities and Territorial Transformations of Silesia (1918-1945)
    Tomasz Kruszewski Institute of History of State and Law, University of Wrocław Silesian administrative authorities and territorial transformations of Silesia (1918-1945) Abstract: The publication concerns conditions in the 19th and 20th centuries leading to the dissolution of Silesian unity as well as the viewpoints of German, Polish and Czechoslovakian political au- thorities regarding Silesian unity following World War I, while also taking into account the viewpoints of Church institutions. The text is an analysis and a summary of existing works on the subject matter, with the main area of interest being the analysis of legal, organizational and administrative institutions concerning their policies towards the dissolution of Silesian unity. The latter half of the 19th century was chiefly responsible for the breakup of Silesian unity, due to the rise of the idea of nationalism leading to the idea of nation-states. The materialization of this idea in respect of Silesia, a region inhabited by three nations, two of which were then build- ing their own states, could only mean the dissolution of the monolithic administrative structure erected within the Second German Reich. The realisation of these ideas was brought on by World War I, in whose wake the Republic of Poland and the Republic of Czechoslovakian were born, while the Second German Reich collapsed. Keywords: Silesia, administration, Church history, political life, interwar period Introduction: political and legal factors behind the disintegration of the uniform province of Silesia The defeat of the Wilhelmine Reich in the First World War brought about the final collapse of the territorial unity of Silesia; it has never been restored.

    CUIUS Cuius regio? REGIO Ideological and Territorial Cohesion of Silesia vol. 3 eds Lucyna Harc, Przemysław Wiszewski, Rościsław Żerelik Silesia under the Authority of the Hohenzollerns (1741–1918) (1741–1918) Silesia under the Authority of Hohenzollerns vol. 3 Silesia under the Authority This volume contains a collection of studies which are the product of research of the Hohenzollerns (1741–1918) on the formation of Silesia as a region in the period 1740-1918. It is another portion of the summary of research undertaken by a team of Polish historians in conjunction with their participation in the programme of the European Science Foundation entitled Cuius regio. An analysis of the cohesive and disruptive forces determining the attachment and commitment of (groups of) persons to and the cohesion within regions. The project’s assumptions were for original analyses to be conducted on five factors significant in the functioning of the region: administration (Paweł Jaworski), economy (Teresa Kulak), social groups (Wanda Musialik and Dorota Schreiber-Kurpiers), ethnic issues (Dorota Schreiber-Kurpiers) and the national and cultural identity of the region’s inhabitants (Teresa Kulak). In each of the spheres analysed in this book, what has been demonstrated is the prevalence of disintegrating factors in the region from the period of its seizure by the armies of Frederick II until the conclusion of World War I. Top-down efforts undertaken by the authorities aimed at integrating the region with the Prussian state, and then with the Reich, did not fully achieve their objectives. The split into the two sub-regions of Upper and Lower Silesia would seem to be inevitable, in spite of particular unifying elements, particularly in the economic sphere during the second half of the 19ʰ and beginning of the 20ʰ century.

  • Urban Population in Germany, 1500 - 1850
    Urban population in Germany, 1500 - 1850 Ulrich Pfister† 90/2020 † Department of Economics, University of Münster, Germany wissen•leben WWU Münster Urban population in Germany, 1500–1850 Ulrich Pfister University of Münster Department of Economics Institute of Economic and Social History Domplatz 20-22 D-48147 Münster [email protected] April 14, 2020 Abstract In situations where few data are available to document economic activity, the size of the urban population is a valuable indicator for economic development and the spatial pattern of an economy. This study improves the basis for investigations into the quan- titative urban history of Germany by constructing a novel database of the population size of 412 cities that had at least 5000 inhabitants between 1500 and 1850. Compared with earlier databases it uses a considerably larger body of sources, and it improves the resolution of data by interpolating and extrapolating annual series. The resulting series of total urban population is consistent with recent work on aggregate demo- graphic trends in Germany. The trajectory of the urbanization rate shows that Ger- many began its transition from stagnation to growth around 1800, several decades be- fore the onset of industrialization. Regional urbanization rates converged (rather than diverged) in 1815/19–1858, that is, during the transition to the first stage of industrial- ization. Discussion of individual regional histories suggests state formation, (proto- )industrialization and regional population density as possibly relevant determinants of urban growth in the area and time period studied. Keywords: Urban growth, economic development, economic demography. JEL classification: N13, N33, N93, O47.

  • Estimating the Value of Land from Prussian Wealth Tax Data by Scott M
    Estimating the value of land from Prussian wealth tax data by Scott M. Eddie, University of Toronto Introduction: The basic problem One of the most vexing problems in estimating national wealth is valuing the land: One survey of national wealth estimates for 19 countries found that in 8 cases no estimate of land value was even made, and only one of the remaining eleven appeared to use market prices to value the land.1 Since this last was Yugoslavia in 1953, where urban land prices stood at only 1/5 of their 1938 level relative to building costs, and agricultural land prices only 1/3 relative to crop prices (Vinski 1959, p. 166n), these cannot have been free-market prices. In the countries surveyed, when an estimate was made, that estimate was forced to use indirect methods such as a ratio to other assets or valuation by "experts." In other words, in the 11 cases in which a land value was actually reported, it was more or less a guess. What accounts for this state of affairs? The first and simplest answer is that market price data usually do not exist. Faced with high costs and owner resistance, no one collects systematic data on land prices.2 The second problem is that land has value other than in production: it may confer prestige or political power, or be a badge of success, for example. Moreover, it is often difficult to separate the value of land from that of the structures on it. Otherwise identical properties of different sizes might sell for different unit values if there are transactions costs to engrossing or parcellization and imperfections in the credit markets or markets for labour and other inputs.

  • Report on the Typhus Epidemic in Upper Silesia
    CLASSICS IN SOCIAL MEDICINE Report on the Typhus 1 Epidemic in Upper Silesia Rudolf Virchow (Archiv. für Patholog. Anatomie u. Physiologie u. für klin. Medicin, 1848, Vol. II, Nos. 1 and 2) At the beginning of this year reports on the effective intervention. On the 18th of February outbreak of a disastrous disease in Upper Silesia, the writer of this report was also commissioned by which up to that time had appeared in the the Minister of Education to visit the area ravaged newspapers only sporadically, increased in by typhus. Mr. Barez "would be too heavily frequency and urgency. The Prussian Minister for engaged to have the leisure to carry out a close Religious, Educational and Medical Affairs, investigation of the epidemic in the interest of nevertheless, not only did not receive from the science. Yet it was important for those medical local medical authorities any reports on the nature authorities who were under the jurisdiction of the of the malady but not even notification of its Minister that the epidemic occurring with such presence.

  • Integrating and Disintegrating Factors for the Economy of Silesia in the Interwar Period; Czynniki Integrujące I Dezintegrując
    Miron Urbaniak Institute of History, University of Wrocław Integrating and disintegrating factors for the economy of Silesia in the interwar period Abstract: Identifying factors coalescing and disrupting the Silesian economy in the period 1918-1945 is not an easy task. After the region was partitioned into Czechoslovakian, German and Polish parts, such factors can be observed in each of the three areas. They lead to economic self-suffi- ciency in the different parts of Silesia, which in turn led to the dissolution of traditional eco- nomic relations within the region. Autarky proved impossible in only a few areas, such as en- ergy distribution and transportation, yet even in these areas cooperation was minimal. Many integrative factors had limited territorial reach, such as delivery of water and gas in German Lower and Upper Silesia. The greatest number of contradictions can be discerned in German Silesia, where the key internal disruptive factor was the existence of two industrialised coal mining districts (the Upper Silesian and Wałbrzych-Nowa Ruda Industrial Districts). Coalesc- ing and disruptive factors were no longer relevant during World War II, when all of Silesia was once again under the administration of one state, and its economy and industry was yoked to the military juggernaut of the Third Reich. Keywords: Silesia, economy, interwar period, transport, railways, waterways, coal, gas industry Capturing and characterizing integrating or disintegrating factors for the interwar Silesian economy is extremely complex, and it must be noted at the outset that such phenomena are difficult to study in the context of economy in general, regardless of region.

  • The Historical Layers of the Lower Silesia Towns – The
    Geology, Geophysics & Environment 2013 Vol. 39 No. 2 8193 http://dx.doi.org/10.7494/geol.2013.39.2.81 THE HISTORICAL LAYERS OF THE LOWER SILESIA TOWNS THE INVESTIGATIONS BASED ON HISTORICAL CARTOGRAPHY Rafa³ EYSYMONTT the University of Wroc³aw, Institute of Art History; ul. Szewska 36, 50-137 Wroc³aw, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Studies on the historical layers of historical towns belong to the most important stages of Atlas historyczny miast polskich volumes creation. Lower Silesian towns are investigated mainly on a basis of: written sources, which reference to the real space is often doubtful; archeological explorations, which results should be confronted with source studies; metrological studies, claiming the original medieval concepts according to their geometrical mo- dularity, although those studies are often loaded with big doses of idealism; studies on historical cartography, which were performed however usually a few hundred years after the towns foundation; in this case the basic method is relating newer plan to an earlier situation called retrogression. The last method could regard one of the most mutable, but most important element of a citys historical structure, which is the river. Two examples of this kind of analysis, referring to two of Lower Silesian different size cities of Wroc³aw and Milicz can be mentioned in this case. Changes of river system in these cities drastically influenced the shaping of cities and their environment. Much more contro- versial is an issue of reconstruction based on the oldest 18th century cartography of the road system, which was shaping settlements network around Wroc³aw.
