La base de données mise à votre disposition est un Instrument de Recherche, pluridisciplinaire mais à dominante historique, dont le but est de faciliter la lecture du contenu intégral de ces procès verbaux. Certains ont été imprimés. Ils sont peu nombreux, dispersés dans les cotes des affaires spécifiques concernées. Presque toujours ils ne sont que des extraits. Ce qui a été imprimé ne peut donc pas donner une représentation rigoureuse de l’immense travail effectué par le Conseil Général des Mines (CGM) dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre de la loi sur les mines, usines, salines et carrières du 21 avril 1810. Les attributions de ce Conseil sont définies par le décret du 18 novembre 1810, contenant organisation du Corps impérial des ingénieurs des mines. Ce décret fait suite à l’Instruction ministérielle du ministre Montalivet du 3 août 1810 relative à l’exécution de la loi 21 avril 1810 sur les mines.

JOHN'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE Hontion MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1899 A II rights reserved INTRODUCTION DR. ANTON MENGER'S remarkable study of the cardinal Dr doctrine of revolutionary socialism, now for the first W time published in English, has long enjoyed a wide reputation on the Continent; and English students of social philosophy, whether or not they are familiar with the original, will welcome its appearance in this trans- lation. The interest and importance of the subject will not be disputed, either by the opponents or the advocates of socialism ; and those who know how exceptionally Dr. Menger is qualified for work of this kind, by his juristic eminence, and his profound know- ledge of socialistic literature, will not need to be told that it has been executed with singular vigour and ability. Hitherto, perhaps because it was not generally accessible to English readers, the book has not received in this country the notice that it has met with elsewhere. Yet there are reasons why it should be of peculiar interest to English economists. The particular method of criticism adopted by Dr.

Breaking the Ties: French Romantic Socialism and the Critique of Liberal Slave Emancipation* Naomi J. Andrews Santa Clara University What we especially call slavery is only the culminating and pivotal point where all of the suffering of society comes together. (Charles Dain, 1836) The principle of abolition is incontestable, but its application is difficult. (Louis Blanc, 1840) In 1846, the romantic socialist Désiré Laverdant observed that although Great Britain had rightly broken the ties binding masters and slaves, “in delivering the slave from the yoke, it has thrown him, poor brute, into isolation and abandonment. Liberal Europe thinks it has finished its work because it has divided everyone.”1 Freeing the slaves, he thus suggested, was only the beginning of emancipation.

Kazimierz Wyka, Henryk Markiewicz, Irena Wyczańska, Kraków 1975 : [recenzja] Literary Studies in Poland 5, 189-191 1980 The Informations Les Informations Obraz Literatury Polskiej XIX i XX wieku (The Picture of Polish Literature of the 19th and 20th Century), Series III: Literatura kra­ jowa w okresie romantyzmu 1831 — 1863 (Literature in Poland in the Romantic Period 1831 — 1863), vol. 1: Kraków 1975, vol. 2 —in print, vol. 3 and 4 —in preparation. The development of Polish Romanticism, the trend which had become victorious in Poland before 1830 with such outstanding works as Antoni Malczewski's Maria, Seweryn Goszczyńskie Zamek kaniow­ ski (The Castle of Kaniów) and, above all, with Adam Mickiewicz's poetry, from Ballads and Romances to Konrad Wallenrod, after 1831, after the collapse of the November uprising, took two different cour­ ses: in emigration, where the greatest poets of the epoch, like Mic­ kiewicz and Słowacki, lived, and in the partitioned Poland. Series III of The Picture o f Polish Literature is devoted to that Roman­ ticism which developed in Poland and which, though presently less known than the literature written in the Great Emigration, exerted considerable influence on the spiritual formation of Poles. Included in the Series are both syntheses and portraits of particular writers (analysis of their works, bibliography, anthology of texts), prepared by the best scholars in the field of history of Romanticism. In the main, writers presented in this Series are, with such rare exceptions as Aleksander Fredro, minor artists, to a great extent influenced by the conventions of the pre-November Romanticism.

It existed only as the result of the operation of mercantile networks,2 wide-ranging eco- nomic agents acting through a complex set of personal relationships based on trust and barely reflected in accountable relations between or within firms. The triggering effect that these networks had on eco- nomic development and industrialization was reflected in both eco- nomic and social changes. The exchange of goods and money through the creation and maintenance of trade and payment routes was only one aspect of the activity of merchant groups at the time under consideration. Trade flows and comparative advantages represented the past decisions of merchants and reflected older information and established manufac- turing capabilities. But merchant networks also operated by project- ing into the future.
