Lytton Balwer maakt gewag van de geringe zucht bij den Hollandschen koopmans- stand, om door luisterrijke feesten en gastmalen bewijzen te leveren van zijnen rijkdorn, en dat geen Hollandsch koopman, uit vrees van zijn crediet te zullen benadeelen, een gastmaal zou durven geven, dat hem NB. honderd duizend gulden kos- ten zou; maar dan ook daarentegen, wanneer het vaderland wordt bedreigd, alsdan geen opoffering hem te groot is, noch te zwaar valt, om dat gevaar te helpen bestrijden. Ten be- wijze daarvan noemt hij K 1 as s Taa n, die in 1795, bij den inval der Franschen, voor zijn aandeel in de oorloglasten f 200,000 in de kas van 's lands ontvanger liet storten. //Welke schatten," schreef 0 c k e r s e, I, bevat onder anderen de Zaan langs zijne burgerlijke boorden en het beruchte Broek in Wa- terland.

  • Publicity and Its Uses. Lost Books As Revealed in Newspaper Advertisements in the Seventeenth-Century Dutch Republic
    chapter 9 Publicity and Its Uses. Lost Books as Revealed in Newspaper Advertisements in the Seventeenth-Century Dutch Republic Arthur der Weduwen and Andrew Pettegree The first weekly serial digest of news appeared in Strasbourg in 1605. This weekly Relation, the work of a bookseller who had until this point run his own manuscript news service, is widely acknowledged as the first printed newspa- per. Rather as with the invention of printing one hundred and fifty years before, this novelty found an eager public. Within twenty years a number of cities in Germany and the Low Countries had their own titles; by 1650 at least 50 towns had established a paper, sometimes competing services, and increasingly pub- lished twice or three times a week.1 Experiments in newspaper publishing were also undertaken in France (the Paris Gazette), England, Sweden and, more fitfully, in several Italian states.2 But, as had also turned out to be the case with the invention of printing, this revolution was based on distinctly insecure foundations. The proprietors of these new ventures found it hard to make the economics add up. Here lay the dilemma. The previously exclusive manuscript services could charge a premium rate, so high indeed that a dozen subscribers could ensure a decent living.3 A newspaper, however, was generally sold for a couple of pence an issue, the same as the pamphlet on which it was modelled. Even if several hundred copies of each issue could be disposed of, when the expense of print- ing and newsgathering were taken into account it was virtually impossible to cover costs from sales alone.

  • “[America] May Be Conquered with More Ease Than Governed”: the Evolution of British Occupation Policy During the American Revolution
    “[AMERICA] MAY BE CONQUERED WITH MORE EASE THAN GOVERNED”: THE EVOLUTION OF BRITISH OCCUPATION POLICY DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION John D. Roche A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Wayne E. Lee Kathleen DuVal Joseph T. Glatthaar Richard H. Kohn Jay M. Smith ©2015 John D. Roche ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT John D. Roche: “[America] may be conquered with more Ease than governed”: The Evolution of British Occupation Policy during the American Revolution (Under the Direction of Wayne E. Lee) The Military Enlightenment had a profound influence upon the British army’s strategic culture regarding military occupation policy. The pan-European military treatises most popular with British officers during the eighteenth century encouraged them to use a carrot-and-stick approach when governing conquered or rebellious populations. To implement this policy European armies created the position of commandant. The treatises also transmitted a spectrum of violence to the British officers for understanding civil discord. The spectrum ran from simple riot, to insurrection, followed by rebellion, and culminated in civil war. Out of legal concerns and their own notions of honor, British officers refused to employ military force on their own initiative against British subjects until the mob crossed the threshold into open rebellion. However, once the people rebelled the British army sought decisive battle, unhindered by legal interference, to rapidly crush the rebellion. The British army’s bifurcated strategic culture for suppressing civil violence, coupled with its practical experiences from the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715 to the Regulator Movement in 1771, inculcated an overwhelming preference for martial law during military campaigns.

  • The Character of the Low Countries' Wars
    Cambridge University Press 052183600X - The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road, 1567-1659: The Logistics of Spanish Victory and Defeat in the Low Countries’ Wars - Second Edition Geoffrey Parker Excerpt More information Introduction The character of the Low Countries’ Wars Some time in the young prince of Spain, later King Philip IV, received a spec- tacular present: a complete set of toy soldiers made of wood. It included infantry reg- iments and cavalry companies with their various banners, weapons and equipment; horses and cannon for the artillery; the distinctive shops and tents of armourers, sutlers and other camp followers; and special materials to construct artificial lakes, forests and pontoon bridges. There was even a toy castle for the ‘army’ to besiege. This, the first child’s ‘war-game’ known in Europe, reproduced in replica the most famous army of its day: the Army of Flanders, maintained by Spain in the Low Countries. A special pamphlet printed in Spanish and Latin accompanied the toy because its designer, Alberto Struzzi, intended it to educate as well as amuse. ‘This army will be no less useful than entertaining,’ Struzzi informed the prince. ‘From it one may observe the expenditure that is necessary if a king is to emerge victorious, and how if money (which is the sinews of war) fails, the prince’s intentions cannot be achieved.’ More specifically, the war-game aimed to make Prince Philip aware of the existence of the Spanish Netherlands and of the army that defended them. It was never too early to teach a future king of Spain that the security of his empire depended in large part on maintaining a strong military presence in the Netherlands, and that his army there could function efficiently only if it was paid.

Elizabeth I’s officer corps were careful to act in wars so that their actions would be seen as honourable by outside observers in the belief that such actions would add to their personal glory. Their individual and corporate perception of the laws of war directly affected military practices.

  • Publicity and Its Uses. Lost Books As Revealed in Newspaper Advertisements in the Seventeenth-Century Dutch Republic
    chapter 9 Publicity and Its Uses. Lost Books as Revealed in Newspaper Advertisements in the Seventeenth-Century Dutch Republic Arthur der Weduwen and Andrew Pettegree The first weekly serial digest of news appeared in Strasbourg in 1605. This weekly Relation, the work of a bookseller who had until this point run his own manuscript news service, is widely acknowledged as the first printed newspa- per. Rather as with the invention of printing one hundred and fifty years before, this novelty found an eager public. Within twenty years a number of cities in Germany and the Low Countries had their own titles; by 1650 at least 50 towns had established a paper, sometimes competing services, and increasingly pub- lished twice or three times a week.1 Experiments in newspaper publishing were also undertaken in France (the Paris Gazette), England, Sweden and, more fitfully, in several Italian states.2 But, as had also turned out to be the case with the invention of printing, this revolution was based on distinctly insecure foundations. The proprietors of these new ventures found it hard to make the economics add up. Here lay the dilemma. The previously exclusive manuscript services could charge a premium rate, so high indeed that a dozen subscribers could ensure a decent living.3 A newspaper, however, was generally sold for a couple of pence an issue, the same as the pamphlet on which it was modelled. Even if several hundred copies of each issue could be disposed of, when the expense of print- ing and newsgathering were taken into account it was virtually impossible to cover costs from sales alone.
