A Confusion of Institutions: Spanish Law and Practice in a Francophone Colony, Louisiana, 1763-Circa 1798

CONCLUSION ...................................................................................... 20 I. INTRODUCTION French Louisiana had been a thorn in the flank of Spain’s Atlantic Empire from its founding in 1699. Failure to remove that thorn in 1699 and again in 1716, when doing so would have been comparatively easy and Spanish naval forces were positioned to do so, meant that by 1762 the wound had festered, so that the colony had become what La Salle, Iberville, Bienville, and their royal masters had envisioned: a smuggling station through which French goods reached New Spain and Cuba and their goods—dye stuffs and silver mostly—reached France and helped to pay the costs of a colony that consumed more than it produced, at least so 1 far as the French crown’s finances were concerned. * © 2017 Paul E Hoffman.

ABSTRACT The long and lucrative history of smuggling in the early modern period receives the attention of colonial scholars only as it relates to their isolated geographic field of study, ignoring the broader history that linked imperial economies in a mercantilist age. This thesis addresses the history of eighteenth-century smuggling in the Caribbean by examining both British and Spanish sources in order to shift the angle of focus away from imperial metanarratives and towards an understanding of the commercial networks forged between Spanish and British colonists on the periphery of empire. By examining the contraband trade between Jamaican merchants and residents of Cartagena, this work explores the blurred lines of colonial jurisprudence as well as the commercial networks necessary to the survival of those colonial spheres. -

The First Measurement of the Deflection of the Vertical in Longitude
Eur. Phys. J. H. DOI: 10.1140/epjh/e2014-40055-2 The first measurement of the deflection of the vertical in longitude The figure of the earth in the early 19th century Andreas Schrimpfa Philipps-Universit¨atMarburg, Fachbereich Physik, Renthof 5, D-35032 Marburg, Germany Abstract. During the summer of 1837 Christian Ludwig Gerling, a for- mer student of Carl Friedrich Gauß’s, organized the world wide first de- termination of the deflection of the vertical in longitude. From a mobile observatory at the Frauenberg near Marburg (Hesse) he measured the astronomical longitude difference between C.F. Gauß’s observatory at G¨ottingenand F.G.B. Nicolai's observatory at Mannheim within an er- ror of 000: 4. To achieve this precision he first used a series of light signals for synchronizing the observatory clocks and, second, he very carefully corrected for the varying reaction time of the observers. By comparing these astronomical results with the geodetic{determined longitude dif- ferences he had recently measured for the triangulation of Kurhessen, he was able to extract a combined value of the deflection of the vertical in longitude of G¨ottingenand Mannheim. His results closely agree with modern vertical deflection data. 1 Introduction The discussion about the figure of the earth and its determination was an open ques- tion for almost two thousand years, the sciences involved were geodesy, geography and astronomy. Without precise instruments the everyday experience suggested a flat, plane world, although ideas of a spherically shaped earth were known and ac- cepted even in the ancient world. Assuming that the easily observable daily motion of the stars is due to the rotation of the earth, the rotational axis can be used to define a celestial sphere; a coordinate system, where the stars' position is given by two angles. -
The Tsunami in Cadiz on November 1St, 1755: a Critical Analysis of Reports by Antonio De Ulloa and by Louis Godin
The Tsunami in Cadiz on November 1 st , 1755: A Critical Analysis of Reports by Antonio de Ulloa and by Louis Godin. Paul-Louis Blanc Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire, B.P. 17, 92262 Fontenay aux roses Cedex, France. Telephone: (33) [0]1 58 35 71 88 Facsimile/ Fax: (33) [0]1 46 57 62 58 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract On the morning of November 1 st , 1755, the town of Lisbon was ruined by an earthquake, supplemented by a tsunami, inundating the lower town and harbour, and by a fire, lit by houses collapsing on kitchen fires, which raged for one week. At variance with Lisbon, the Spanish harbour-town of Cadiz was considered as miraculously saved, despite the fears reported in the descriptions: "the sea-flood raised fears that the town might be submerged." A classical estimate for the height of the tsunami wave there is 18 m. The study of a restricted selection of primary documentary sources, demonstrates that the tsunami was much weaker. It is difficult to assess how the now classical records have been altered with reference to the original letters, but one of the reasons is that the secretaries of the scientific institutions only used to put in the print abridged, or worse, synthesized versions of the communications from members. The average ground level in Cadiz is 11 m above mean sea-level. If the wave set-up had been about 19m, the engulfment of Cadiz would have left its name to the November 1 st , 1755, earthquake and tsunami, rather than the destruction of Lisbon. -
The Maritime Voyage of Jorge Juan to the Viceroyalty of Peru (1735-1746)
The Maritime Voyage of Jorge Juan to the Viceroyalty of Peru (1735-1746) Enrique Martínez-García — Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas* María Teresa Martínez-García — Kansas University** Translated into English (August 2012) One of the most famous scientific expeditions of the Enlightenment was carried out by a colorful group of French and Spanish scientists—including the new Spanish Navy lieutenants D. Jorge Juan y Santacilia (Novelda 1713-Madrid 1773) and D. Antonio de Ulloa y de la Torre-Giralt (Seville 1716-Isla de León 1795)—at the Royal Audience of Quito in the Viceroyalty of Peru between 1736 and 1744. There, the expedition conducted geodesic and astronomical observations to calculate a meridian arc associated with a degree in the Equator and to determine the shape of the Earth. The Royal Academy of Sciences of Paris, immersed in the debate between Cartesians (according to whom the earth was a spheroid elongated along the axis of rotation (as a "melon")) and Newtonians (for whom it was a spheroid flattened at the poles (as a "watermelon")), decided to resolve this dispute by comparing an arc measured near the Equator (in the Viceroyalty of Peru, present-day Ecuador) with another measured near the North Pole (in Lapland). The expedition to the Equator, which is the one that concerns us in this note, was led by Louis Godin (1704-1760), while Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis (1698-1759) headed the expedition to Lapland. The knowledge of the shape and size of the Earth had great importance for the improvement of cartographic, geographic, and navigation techniques during that time. -

Notices of the Pagan Igorots in 1789 - Part Two
Notices of the Pagan Igorots in 1789 - Part Two By Francisco A ntolin, 0 . P. Translated by W illiam Henry Scott Translator’s Note Fray Francisco Antolin was a Dominican missionary in Dupax and Aritao，Nueva Vizcaya，in the Philippines，between the years 1769 and 1789，who was greatly interested in the pagan tribes generally called “Igorots” in the nearby mountains of the Cordillera Central of northern Luzon. His unpublished 1789 manuscript，Noticias de los infieles igor- rotes en lo interior de la Isla de M anila was an attempt to bring to gether all information then available about these peoples，from published books and pamphlets， archival sources， and personal diaries， corre spondence, interviews and inquiries. An English translation of Part One was published in this journal，V o l.29，pp. 177-253，as “Notices of the pagan Igorots in 1789，” together with a translator’s introduction and a note on the translation. Part Two is presented herewith. Part Two is basically a collection of source materials arranged in chronological order， to which Esther Antolin added comments and discussion where he thought it necessary，and an appendix of citations and discourses (illustraciones) on controversial interpretations. With the exception of some of the Royal Orders (cedulas reales) ，these docu ments are presented in extract or paraphrase rather than as verbatim quotations for the purpose of saving space，removing material of no direct interest，or of suppressing what Father Antolin，as a child of the 18th-century Enlightenment， evidently considered excessive sanctity. Occasionally it is impossible to tell where the quotation ends and Father Antolin，s own comments begin without recourse to the original，which recourse has been made throughout the present translation except in the case of works on the history of mining in Latin America which were not locally available.
