Definitive Treaty of Peace and Amity Between Austria, Great Britain, Portugal, Prussia, Russia and Sweden, and France, Signed at Paris, 30 May 1814 Definitive Treaty of Peace and Amity between Austria, Great Britain, Portugal, Prussia, Russia and Sweden, and France, signed at Paris, 30 May 1814 THERE is here reproduced first of all the text of the Anglo~French bipartite instnu11ent, to which there were identical counterparts between France and the other Allied Powers simultaneously concluded. The text is taken from British and Foreign State Papers, val. I, p. 151. This text has a parallel English version. It includes not only the principal Treaty but also the first four of the simultaneous Separate and Secret Articles agreed to by all the partie~': It further includes the Additional Articles between France and Great Britain, Austria, Prussia and Russia respectively. The fifth and sixth Separate and Secret Articles common to all parties are appended from De Clercq, Recueil des Traitis de Ia France, val. II, p. 425. From this source there arc further taken two more Additional and Secret Articles between France and Austria. Next, reproduced also from De Clcrcq, op. cit., val. II, p. 431, follows a description of the Franco~ Swedish instrument, together with the text of the Secret Additional Article thereto. The Secret Additional Articles with Portugal arc also added, taken from British and Foreign State Papers, val. I, p. 103 8. It is to be noted that Spain became party to an identical Treaty with France on 20 July 1814, this being included in the present series in due order. Austria ratified on 3 r May and France on II June r 814. The text of the principal Treaty is printed in various collections, but the assembly of prints of all the various Additional Articles is, as may be seen from the sources used here, sometimes a matter of difficulty. For a bibliography, see Bittner, Chronologisches Verzeichnis der Oesterreichischen Staatsvertraege, val.

Concluded at Paris the 10th day of February, 1763. To which the King of Portugal acceded on the same day. In the Name of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. So be it. Be it known to all those whom it shall, or may, in any manner, belong, It has pleased the Most High to diffuse the spirit of union and concord among the Princes, whose divisions had spread troubles in the four parts of the world, and to inspire them with the inclination to cause the comforts of peace to succeed to the misfortunes of a long and bloody war, which having arisen between England and France during the reign of the Most Serene and Most Potent Prince, George the Second, by the grace of God, King of Great Britain, of glorious memory, continued under the reign of the Most Serene and Most Potent Prince, George the Third, his successor, and, in its progress, communicated itself to Spain and Portugal: Consequently, the Most Serene and Most Potent Prince, George the Third, by the grace of God, King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, Duke of Brunswick and Lunenbourg, Arch Treasurer and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire; the Most Serene and Most Potent Prince, Lewis the Fifteenth, by the grace of God, Most Christian King; and the Most Serene and Most Potent Prince, Charles the Third, by the grace of God, King of Spain and of the Indies, after having laid the foundations of peace in the preliminaries signed at Fontainebleau the third of November last; and the Most Serene and Most Potent Prince, Don Joseph the First, by the grace of God, King of Portugal and of the Algarves, after having acceded thereto, determined to compleat, without delay, this great and important work.

The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor Hermann Mückler (University of Vienna). Abstract Loder-Neuhold, R. 2019. Crocodiles, Masks and Madonnas. Catholic Mission Museums in German-Speaking Europe. Studia Missionalia Svecana 121. 425 pp. Uppsala: Department of Theology. ISBN 978-91-506-2792-3. This dissertation examines mission museums established by Catholic mission congregations in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland from the 1890s onwards. The aim is to provide the first extensive study on these museums in a way that contributes to current blind spots in mission history, and the history of anthropology and museology. In this study I use Angela Jannelli’s concept of small-scale and amateurish museums to create a framework in order to characterise the museums. The dissertation focuses on the missionaries and their global networks, their “collecting” in the mission fields overseas, and the “collected” objects, by looking at primary sources from mission congregations’ archives. In the middle section of the dissertation the findings of an analysis of the compiled list of thirty-one mission museums are presented. This presentation focuses on their characteristics (for example, the museum surroundings, the opening and closing dates, the role of the curators, and type of objects). From this list of thirty- one museums three case studies were selected for in-depth analysis: (1) three “Africa museums” of the Missionary Sisters of St.

  • King in Prussia
    King in Prussia By Rafael Sabatini King In Prussia BOOK 1—THE PRINCE Chapter 1. Domestic Scene Charles Stuart-Dene, Marquess of Alverley, looked at humanity, and wondered why it was. You conceive the pessimism prompting this spirit of philosophic inquiry. How far it was justified you may gather from the Memoirs of the Margravine of Bayreuth, a lady who was no more curbed by discretion in the glimpses she affords us of her family, and particularly of her abominable sire, than in other matters that are commonly accounted intimate. Through the bright, prominent eyes that stared out of her young face, which would have been winsome had it not been pockmarked, you may view the scene that is to be regarded as the prelude to all this mischief. It was set in the Porcelain Gallery of the Palace of Monbijou. Music was being made by the flute of the Crown Prince of Prussia, to an accompaniment by his sister Wilhelmina, the future Margravine, on the lute, and the young Rittmeister von Katte on the clavichord. The three were rendering a sugary composition which the Prince claimed for his own, but which Katte believed would never have been written but for the previous existence of a melody of Scarlatti's. Monbijou with all its choice contents had been a gift to Queen Sophia Dorothea from her father-in-law, Frederick, the first King in Prussia; and this spacious Porcelain Gallery, so called because of the immensely tall and valuable Chinese vases that were the most conspicuous objects in its subdued and impeccable appointments, was one of the pleasantest of the palace's chambers.
