Autonomy and the Thirteen Colonies: Was the American Revolution Really Necessary?* Robert A. Friedlander** Nothing better illustrates the almost insurmountable difficulties faced by modern pluralistic societies in dealing with recalcitrant minorities on the transnational level than the futile attempts to grant autonomy to dissident populations.1 It has been particularly frustrating for democratic regimes when minority rejectionists have turned to terror-violence as their ultimate political weapon, with Ireland, Spain, and Israel the preeminent contemporary examples. The Northern Irish Parliament is indefinitely suspended,2 home rule has failed to end Basque extremism,'. and the Camp David accords face an uncertain future.' In each case, autonomy has been the chosen method of conflict- resolution and despite offers of-or attempts at-self-government, con- flict continues. Throughout modern history in both theory and practice, autonomy has been at best inherently suspect. In those few historical instances when it was actually attempted, autonomy either worked very badly or not at all.

George Canning and the Representation of Liverpool, 1812-1823 1
'The Pride of my Publick Life': George Canning and the Representation of Liverpool, 1812-1823 1 Stephen M. Lee I George Canning (1770-1827) was one of the most significant figures on the Pittite side of British politics in the first three decades of the nineteenth century, and his successful campaign for a seat at Liverpool in 1812 both illustrated and contributed to the profound changes that his political career underwent during this period. Sandwiched between his failure to return to office in May-July 1812 following the assassination of Spencer Perceval and his decision to disband his personal following (his 'little Senate') in July i8i3,2 this campaign marked for Canning a turn away from the aristocratic political arena of Westminster, which he had come to find so frustrating, towards a political culture which, if at first alien, was replete with new possibilities. Moreover, Canning's experience as representative for Liverpool was indicative of wider changes in the political landscape of early nineteenth-century Britain. Before considering in detail some of the key aspects of Canning's outward turn, however, it will be useful to offer a brief description of the constituency of Liverpool and a short account of the elections that Canning fought there.3 1 This article is a revised version of chapter 3 of Stephen M. Lee, 'George Canning and the Tories, 1801-1827' (unpuh. Ph.D. thesis, Manchester Univ., 1999), PP- 93-128. 2 For a consideration of these two important episodes see Lee, 'Canning and the Tories', pp. 81-91. 1 Unless otherwise stated the following summary of the politics of Liverpool is 74 Stephen M.

Parliamentary Debate on the Stamp
MAKING THE REVOLUTION: AMERICA, 1763-1791 PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION Parliament Debates New York Public Library the Stamp Act, February 1765 * In early 1765 Parliament was struggling to meet the cost of defending its empire in North Americavastly expanded after the French and Indian War. The task required a standing army (fulltime soldiers maintained during peacetime) since the new territories lacked enough Englishmen to constitute local defense forces. Regular British troops were needed to keep the peace between the French and Indians and to deal with smuggling, land grabbing, and crime. Prime Minister George Grenville stated the matter in its simplest terms: “The money for these expenses must be raised somewhere.” To the British it was perfectly logical to raise the money in the colonies; they, after all, were the chief beneficiaries of Britain’s military exertions. Parliament settled on a simple way to obtain the needed funds, an easy-to-collect tax on documents, i.e., the paper on which they would be printed. These selections from the debate on the Stamp Act in the House of Commons illuminate how British politicians viewed the issue of colonial taxationespecially the question of taxation without representation. Written in the clipped, abbreviated style of notes taken in haste, they record remarks made on February 6, 1765, eight days before Grenville formally presented the Stamp Act to the House of George Grenville, Prime Minister of Great Commons for a vote.

For more information, please contact [email protected],[email protected]. HONOUR'S ROLE IN THE INTERNATIONAL STATES' SYSTEM* ALLEN Z. HERTZ* INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Studying the First World War's origins, James Joll (1918-1994), Professor of International History at the University of London, offered this insight: "In the late 20th century we perhaps find it easier to conceive of foreign policy as being motivated by domestic preoccupations and by economic interests than by... considerations of prestige and glory. It does not necessarily follow that the men of 1914 thought in the same way as we do."' To recapture that age which ended during the First World War, this essay analyzes the meaning of "honour" as a staple of European political philosophy. The significance of the "word of honour" is then located in the context of European courtly society, where a king's honour is explored in relation to that of his country and in the "international of kings" that was the European States' system until 1917-18.

To LADY OSSORY, Saturday 8 September 1770 to LADY OSSORY, Saturday 15 September 1770
42 To LADY OSSORY 15 SEPTEMBER 1770 To LADY OSSORY, Saturday 8 September 1770 Missing; referred to, post 15 Sept. 1770. To LADY OSSORY, Saturday 15 September 1770 Strawberry Hill, Sept. 15, 1770. IT was lucky for your Ladyship and Lord Ossory that I prevented your doing me the honour of a visit last Monday. The very night I wrote (this day sennight) I was put into my bed, and have not been out of it since but three times to have it made. I will not tell your Ladyship what I have suffered, because lovers and good Christians are alone allowed to brag of their pains, and to be very vain of being very miserable. I am content at present with having recovered my write-ability enough to thank your Ladyship and Lord Ossory for your kind intentions, which for my own sake I have not virtue enough to decline, nor for your sakes the confidence to accept. Lord Ossory has seen me in the gout1 and knows I am not very peevish; consequently you might bear to make me a visit, but as I cannot flatter myself that I shall be able to quit my bedchamber before Tuesday, since at this instant I am writing in bed, I dare not ask you, Madam, to risk passing any time in a sick-chamber. As nothing would give me more pleasure sincerely than to see your Ladyship and Lord Ossory here for a few days, when I could enjoy it, why should not you a short time hence bring Mr Fitzpatrick,2 Harry Conway^ Charles Fox,* or who you please, and make a little October party hither?^ It would be the most agreeable honour in the 1.
