I suspect it is the second- rate people of the two sexes that are unlike—the first-rate are alike in both—except —no, I do not think I can except anything—but then, in this respect, my position has been and is, what you say every human being’s is in many respects ‘a peculiar one.’ ” J. S. Mill to Thomas Carlyle, 5 October 1833 “It would be a mistake to suppose that a science consists entirely of strictly proved theses, and it would be unjust to require this. Only a disposition with a passion for authority will raise such a demand, someone with a craving to replace his religious catechism by another, though it is a scientific one. Science has only a few apo- deictic propositions in its catechism: the rest are assertions promoted by it to some particular degree of probability. It is actually a sign of a scientific mode of thought to find satisfaction in these approximations to certainty and to be able to pursue constructive work further in spite of the absence of final confirmation.” Sigmund Freud, Third Lecture, Introductory Lectures on Psycho-Analysis CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS x i INTRODUCTION TO THE TRANSACTION EDITION XÜ i IL LUSTRATIONS FOLLOWING I 52 I FATHER AND SON 1 Introduction 3 2 Fathers and Sons: The Nineteenth Century and the Oedipus Complex 15 II JAMES MILL 3 The Person 47 4 Government and Leadership 77 5 The Economic World 97 6 India and Colonial Attitudes 116 III JOHN STUART MILL 1 The Family 149 8 Childhood 166 Co ntents 9 Adolescence 176 10 The “Mental Crisis” 2°5 11 Intellectual Development 23r 12 Harriet: Love Unto Death 280 13 Sex and Sensibility 328 14 Economics 35 1 15 On Government 377 16 Social Science 403 17 Conclusion: The Mills in History 428 NOTES 435 PERMISSIONS 465 PICTURE CREDITS 467 NAM E INDEX 469 SUBJECT INDEX 477 x ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I L IK E T O T H IN K that with this book I have made a contribution to psychohistory, a new field where history and psychology meet. I have tried to broaden its concerns and means of approach, to re-examine some classical psychoanalytic concepts per se, and to revitalize the figures of James and John Stuart Mill, breathing fresh life especially into the latter and his works. Whatever the actual success of this effort, it has rested on the assistance of innumerable persons and institutions, and I would like to make here a general acknowledgment of my thanks and appreciation. The initial research work, done mainly in Great Britain in 1967- 1968, was made possible by a faculty fellowship from the Social Science Research Council. A year as a Visiting Member at the Institute for Ad­ vanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey (1972-1973) then gave me the essential time and setting for the actual writing of this book. I am deeply grateful to Carl Kaysen, Director, and to Clifford Geertz, head of the Social Science Program, not only for their invitation to me but for pro­ viding an ideal combination of catered isolation and intellectual stimula­ tion. Part of my support at the Institute was provided by the National Science Foundation under Grant GS-31730X1, and I would like grate­ fully to acknowledge it. Anna Marie Holt, who headed the secretarial staff of the Social Science Program, was somehow always able to produce chapters or assistance when neeeded, and I tend her and her staff my admiration. The Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute was kind enough to invite me to deliver a version of what is now Chapter 2 of this book at one of its scientific meetings, and I gained a good deal from that ses- xi Acknowledgments sion, especially from the commentaries of Professors Abraham Zaleznik and John Demos. To my friend, Abe Zaleznik, I owe additional debts with which he will be familiar. T o my colleagues at the Group for Ap­ plied Psychoanalysis (Boston) I also extend thanks for their general in­ spiration and criticisms. Others who have helped by readings, specific suggestions, or assis­ tance are Professors J. H. Burns, Joseph Frank, Albert Hirschman, Norman Holland, Dr. O. Mannoni, Arnaldo Momigliano, Robert C. Tucker, Fred Weinstein, Perez Zagorin, and, of course, my wife Anne. In my efforts to make some of the translations from the French correct and literate I have called upon Professors Richard M. Douglas and George Kelly. Professors Michael Laine, and John Robson have kindly re­ sponded to factual inquiries, but, more than that, everyone working on Mill is indebted to Professors Priestley and Robson for their magnifi­ cent editing of the Collected Works of John Stuart Mill. Unfortunately, much of my writing was done before key volumes were published and my references, therefore, are often to earlier editions or to the original collections in the British Museum and the London School of Economics. M y publisher, Basic Books, Inc., has been a source of great support throughout. I should like to express my appreciation to Erwin Glikes, President, and Julie DeWitt, Project Editor. As for Martin Kessler, Vice President and Editorial Director, and my personal editorial mentor, he has once again put me under obligation to him by his patient assistance and wise counseling. xii Introduction to the Transaction Edition The reissue of James and John Stuart Mill is a kind of rebirth, which offers me a splendid opportunity to reread and to review my book, now that more than a decade has passed by. It is an occasion for reflections and perhaps even reorientations. The immediate temptation is great, of course, to set the record straight and to reply to one’s misguided critics. In spite of Benjamin Franklin’s advice always to give way to temptations, this is one to be resisted. Instead, I shall recall fondly the favorable reviews, and, if I may be forgiven a flowery, un-Mill-like, phrase, consign to the depths of Lethe all the benighted reviewers. What I should like to do in this regard, however, is to indulge in a kind of fanciful imitation of Marx and Engels, who wrote reviews (and quite good, objectives ones) of Capital , which they felt had been unduly overlooked. In their case, they hid their authorship of the reviews; in mine, I confess it, as I suggest the ways in which I would have liked, and obviously would like now, this book to be regarded. There are two other tasks I want to undertake in this new introduction. The first is to say something more about psychohistory and what has happened to it in the course of the last decade or so, as well as where my own thoughts on the discipline now stand. The second is to reflect further on some of Mill’s intellectual concerns, and especially on liberalism, a subject that occupied so central a place in his speculations and whose parlous conditions is so important to our own time. 1 In suggesting that I would write a review of my own book, I was not entirely serious. What I would like to do, however, is to highlight some features of the book of which sight might be lost. The fact is that my attention to the Mills was not only for their own sake, interesting and important as their story is, but also in the service of several larger themes. Yet to be faithful to the materials of my case study meant an immersion in the materials of Mill scholarship that, as I now realize, could cause the themes that interested me to be largely overlooked. Here I wish to rectify that possible holding of the telescope by the wrong end. xiii Transaction Int roduction One of my intentions, clearly, was to contribute to, or, in fact, to start, a debate on the problems of integrating psychology with intellectual history.

ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 7:2 (Summer 2015) 1 COLLECTING OLD MASTERS FOR NEW YORK: HENRY GURDON MARQUAND AND THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART Esmée Quodbach The subject of this article is the collector Henry Gurdon Marquand (1819–1902), banker and railroad financier, and a noted member of the burgeoning class of newly prosperous business magnates of Gilded Age New York. An exception- ally civic-minded patron, Marquand set out in the early 1880s to assemble a group of first-class Old Master paintings for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This paper explores Marquand’s acquisitions, especially the Flemish and Dutch paintings he bought. Focusing on Marquand’s 1889 gift of thirty-seven Old Masters to the museum—the first gift of its kind—this paper also considers Marquand’s aspirations, not only as a major private collector but especially as a leading donor to the institution, whose second president he became in 1889.

COLLEGE, JEHANABAD (A Constituent unit of Magadh University, Bodh Gaya) DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY KEY-NOTES JAMES-I (1603-1625) ​ FOR B.A. PART – I BY KRITI SINGH ANAND, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, DEPTT. OF HISTORY, S.N. SINHA COLLEGE, JEHANABAD 1 James I (1603 - 1625) James VI King of Scotland was the great grandson of Margaret, the daughter of HenryVIII of England. The accession of James Stuart to the English throne as James I, on the death of Elizabeth in 1603, brought about the peaceful union of the rival monarchies of England and Scotland. He tried to make the union of two very different lands complete by assuming the title of King of Great Britain. There was peace in England and people did not fear any danger from a disputed succession inside the country or from external aggression. So strong monarchy was not considered essential for the welfare of the people. Even towards the end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, Parliament began to oppose the royal will. The attempts of the new king to make the two lands to have one parliament, one church and one law failed miserably, because the Scots were not interested in the union and the English Parliament did not co- operate with him for it did not trust him. James I had experience as the King of Scotland and he knew very well the history of the absolute rule of the Tudor monarchs in England. So he was determined to rule with absolute powers. He believed in the theory of Divine Right Kingship and his own accession to the English throne was sanctioned by this theory.

Introduction Winston Churchill once claimed that “of all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind.”1 Scotland has produced a plethora of important writers, philosophers, historians, and scientists. During the Enlightenment, Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh, was called the “Athens of the north,”2 a tribute to the number of influential figures who lived or were educated there during the eighteenth century. Such famous and significant figures as David Hume, Andrew Carnegie, Alexander Graham Bell, Dr. David Livingstone, Sir Walter Scott, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were Scottish. Despite influence of Scotland’s famous progeny, the country is not known for its contributions to the sciences and the arts. Instead, the mention of Scotland brings to most minds such things as kilts, tartan, bagpipes, clanship, and other tourist images that were primarily Highland customs before the eighteenth century. This vision of a timeless Celtic Scotland is in opposition to the reality that existed before the eighteenth century.

  • Orientalism in the Victorian Era
    Orientalism in the Victorian Era Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Literature Orientalism in the Victorian Era Valerie Kennedy Subject: African Literatures, British and Irish Literatures, Fiction, West Asian Literatures, in­ cluding Middle East, 19th Century (1800-1900) Online Publication Date: Aug 2017 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190201098.013.226 Summary and Keywords Orientalism in the Victorian era has origins in three aspects of 18th-century European and British culture: first, the fascination with The Arabian Nights (translated into French by Antoine Galland in 1704), which was one of the first works to have purveyed to West­ ern Europe the image of the Orient as a place of wonders, wealth, mystery, intrigue, ro­ mance, and danger; second, the Romantic visions of the Orient as represented in the works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley, George Gordon, Lord Byron, and other Romantics as well as in Thomas Moore’s Lalla Rookh; and third, the domestication of opium addiction in Thomas de Quincey’s Confessions of an English Opium Eater. Victorian Orientalism was all pervasive: it is prominent in fiction by William Thackeray, the Brontë sisters, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Joseph Conrad, and Rudyard Kipling, but is also to be found in works by Benjamin Disraeli, George Eliot, Oscar Wilde, and Robert Louis Stevenson, among others. In poetry Edward Fitzgerald’s Rubaiyat is a key text, but many works by Alfred Tennyson and Robert Browning also show the influence of Orientalist tropes and ideas. In theater it is one of the constant strands of much popular drama and other forms of popular entertainment like panoramas and pageants, while travel writing from Charles Kingsley to Richard Burton, James Anthony Froude, and Mary Kingsley shows a wide variety of types of Orientalist figures and concepts, as do many works of both popular and children’s literature.

Hans Eworth, ‗William Cecil, Lord Burghley‘, c.1565 Source: Pauline Croft (ed.), Patronage, Culture and Power, New Haven, 2002, p. xxvii. iii Abstract This thesis examines the alchemical patronage of Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley (1520– 1598), Principal Secretary and later Lord Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I. Through an examination of Cecil‘s surviving papers, along with other primary manuscript and printed works, it places Cecil‘s patronage of alchemy within the context of both his previous examined patronage and the intellectual context of sixteenth century England. This thesis analyses why Cecil, a key member of government for over fifty years and Elizabeth‘s most trusted councillor, believed in the legitimacy of alchemical solutions to both national and personal problems. To explain Cecil‘s trust in alchemy, the thesis focuses first on his understanding of nature. It argues that a belief in alchemical transmutation was an essential consequence of an education that emphasised an Aristotelian understanding of the universe. Cecil was therefore receptive of demonstrations of theoretical as well as practical alchemical knowledge. Through an assessment of Cecil‘s neglected medical patronage, the thesis also argues that he was amongst the first in England to utilise new alchemically based medical treatments.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed ithe photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

The Life and Legacy of James I, King of England Abstract As the first member of the Stuart line to hold the Kingdoms of England, Ireland, and Scotland under his suzerainty, the life and reign of King James I was always going to mark a serious turning point in the histories of the lands under his control. The Tudors, who had dominated English politics, religion, and culture since the end of the War of the Roses, had been extinguished with the death of the childless Queen Elizabeth I. Their successors, the Stuarts, would find that their personal rule vo er the British Isles would mark some of the most defining moments in not only British political, cultural, and religious history, but that of the wider Western world as well. James I, the progenitor of this impactful tenure, would have a lasting influence on the eignsr through both his life and his work.
