  • A Soldier Fights for Three Separate but Sometimes Associated Reasons: for Duty, for Payment and for Cause
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository The press and military conflict in early modern Scotland by Alastair J. Mann A soldier fights for three separate but sometimes associated reasons: for duty, for payment and for cause. Nathianiel Hawthorne once said of valour, however, that ‘he is only brave who has affections to fight for’. Those soldiers who are prepared most readily to risk their lives are those driven by political and religious passions. From the advent of printing to the present day the printed word has provided governments and generals with a means to galvanise support and to delineate both the emotional and rational reasons for participation in conflict. Like steel and gunpowder, the press was generally available to all military propagandists in early modern Europe, and so a press war was characteristic of outbreaks of civil war and inter-national war, and thus it was for those conflicts involving the Scottish soldier. Did Scotland’s early modern soldiers carry print into battle? Paul Huhnerfeld, the biographer of the German philosopher and Nazi Martin Heidegger, provides the curious revelation that German soldiers who died at the Russian front in the Second World War were to be found with copies of Heidegger’s popular philosophical works, with all their nihilism and anti-Semitism, in their knapsacks.1 The evidence for such proximity between print and combat is inconclusive for early modern Scotland, at least in any large scale. Officers and military chaplains certainly obtained religious pamphlets during the covenanting period from 1638 to 1651.

Allan Ramsay ABSTRACT This paper presents descriptiona 18th-century ofan sporting trophy investigatesand historythe of the society to which it was presented. INTRODUCTION In April 1986, the National Museums of Scotland bought, from a silver dealer in London, a unique 18th-century bowling trophy. Known as the 'Silver Jack', it was originally presented as an annual trophy to the Edinburgh Society of Bowlers in 1771 (NMS registration MEQ1594).

  • William Gostling a Walk in and About the City of Canterbury, Second
    William Gostling A walk in and about the city of Canterbury, second edition Canterbury 1777 <i> A WALK IN AND ABOUT THE CITY OF CANTERBURY, WITH Many OBSERVATIONS not to be found in any Description hitherto published. THE SECOND EDITION. By WILLIAM GOSTLING, M. A. A NATIVE of the PLACE, AND MINOR CANON of the CATHEDRAL. CANTERBURY; printed by SIMMONS and KIRKBY; MDCCLXXVII. <ii> <blank> <iii> ADVERTISEMENT. THE Subscribers to this second edition may be assured that, although the Author died while his book was in the press, yet the whole was prepared or approved of by him= self, and is printed from his own corrected copy. A few other remarks are contained in the Addenda at the end of the book. The substantial proof of the regard, which his friends retain for the memory of her father, given in a very numerous subscription, calls for the warmest acknowledgements from his daugh= ter; especially as so many have very greatly ex= ceeded the terms of the subscription in their liberality: she hopes they will not be offended by her prefixing an asterisk to such of their names as have come to her knowledge; for she is very sensible of great obligations not only to them, but to many other persons, whose names have not been transmitted to her, and therefore do not appear in her list. Her most grateful thanks are also due to those friends who have contributed to the embellish= ment of this little book; and as the size of the plates would not permit it in them, to express here her sense of his generosity to Francis Grose, <iv> Esq; F.

  • Scottish Commercial Contacts with the Iberian World, 1581-1730
    SCOTTISH COMMERCIAL CONTACTS WITH THE IBERIAN WORLD, 1581-1730 Claire McLoughlin A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 2014 Full metadata for this item is available in St Andrews Research Repository at: http://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/4525 This item is protected by original copyright University of St Andrews Scottish Commercial Contacts with the Iberian World, 1581-1730 Claire McLoughlin University of St Andrews PhD Thesis February 2014 Abstract This thesis analyses the commercial relations between Scotland and the geo- political area known as the Iberian world in the early modern period. Despite being geographically one of the largest areas of Europe, as well as arguably the politically most weighty, there has, until this thesis, been no scholarly research on Scottish trade relations with this area. Though the archives suggest regular and sustained contact, very little is known about Scottish-Iberian connections beyond the overtly political. When compared to northern Europe the region of Iberia and its dominions differed significantly, not only due to a different branch of Christianity being practised there but also due to the influence of the Habsburg empire and the power it was perceived to give the Spanish Habsburgs. Looking predominantly at Scottish commercial contacts with Spain, the Spanish Netherlands and Portugal, this project considers a number of angles such as England’s impact on Scottish commercial relations with Iberia. For example, very little would be known about Scottish commercial relations with Iberia in the late-sixteenth century if it were not for the Anglo-Spanish war of that period.

  • U DDLG Papers of the Lloyd-Greame 12Th Cent. - 1950 Family of Sewerby
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Lloyd-Greame Family of Sewerby U DDLG Papers of the Lloyd-Greame 12th cent. - 1950 Family of Sewerby Historical Background: The estate papers in this collection relate to the manor of Sewerby, Bridlington, which was in the hands of the de Sewerdby family from at least the twelfth century until descendants in a female line sold it in 1545. For two decades the estate passed through several hands before being bought by the Carliell family of Bootham, York. The Carliells moved to Sewerby and the four daughters of the first owner, John Carliell, intermarried with local gentry. His son, Tristram Carliell succeeded to the estates in 1579 and upon his death in 1618 he was succeeded by his son, Randolph or Randle Carliell. He died in 1659 and was succeeded by his son, Robert Carliell, who was married to Anne Vickerman, daughter and heiress of Henry Vickerman of Fraisthorpe. Robert Carliell died in in 1685 and his son Henry Carliell was the last male member of the family to live at Sewerby, dying in 1701 (Johnson, Sewerby Hall and Park, pp.4-9). Around 1714 Henry Carliell's heir sold the Sewerby estate to tenants, John and Mary Greame. The Greame family had originated in Scotland before moving south and establishing themselves in and around Bridlington. One line of the family were yeoman farmers in Sewerby, but John Greame's direct family were mariners and merchants in Bridlington. John Greame (b.1664) made two good marriages; first, to Grace Kitchingham, the daughter of a Leeds merchant of some wealth and, second to Mary Taylor of Towthorpe, a co-heiress.
