Drescheribe, Captain of the Artillery and Engineer, in 1726. The fortifications at Kehl were originally constructed by Vauban in 1688. Its strategic importance was such that it changed hands a number of times over the next 100 years, ceded to by France to Baden in 1697 and then taken by the French in 1703, 1733, 1793 and 1796, and later by the Austrians. The village and fortress of Kehl was located near the Margraviate of Baden (now part of the German state of Baden-Württemberg, but then part of the Holy Roman Empire), just across the Rhine River from the French city of Strasbourg. The fortress at Kehl, and that at Philippsburg to the north, provided strategic military control over major crossings of the upper Rhine, which formed the boundary between French- controlled Alsace and the various principalities of the empire. The responsibility to maintain and defend the fortress belonged to the Swabian Circle, which was largely dominated by the Duchy of Württemberg. The maker of the map is likely Gottfried or Geoffrey Drescheribe, who was also an Architect in the employ of the Duke of Wurtemberg. Detailed Condition: Pen & Ink with wash colors.

The Rise of Fiscal Capacity
The Rise of Fiscal Capacity Davide Cantoni Cathrin Mohr Matthias Weigand* June 2021 Abstract We study the role of a crucial institutional innovation — the development of fiscal capacity through modern, permanent administrations — in fostering state consolidation in Europe in the Early Modern era. Using a novel dataset, we examine the introduction of fiscal centraliza- tion in territories of the Holy Roman Empire from 1400 to 1789. After implementing the reform, territories were more likely to survive, increased in size, and were able to achieve a more com- pact territorial extension. We show that increased revenues, a reduction of short-term lending, more investments in military infrastructure, improved defensive capability, and a higher abil- ity to marry off daughters to powerful princes, were key mechanisms through which rulers were able to consolidate their territories. The absence of pre-trends, as well as the robustness of our results with regard to selection and endogeneity concerns, suggest that fiscal centralization played a causal role in this context. We argue that the external threat posed by the Ottoman Empire was a key driver of the adoption of fiscal centralization, independently of the rise and decline of deliberative bodies (Estates).

TO THE HONOURABLE JOHN TUDHOPE, MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY, COLONIAL SECRETARY OF THE COLONY OF THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, STbis Volume IS DEDICATED AS A MARK OF THE PERSONAL REGARD THE AUTHOR. ly s INTRODUCTION. Many authors have complained that, although their works are read, the introductions penned by them with so much pains are generally skipped, and that often the writing of even a small one is a more difficult task than the treatment of many portions of the subject to which the volume which it is intended to introduce, has been devoted. • Be this as it may, I hope that at least a few of my readers will peruse this first page. It will explain the reason why I wrote. Being Custodian of the Archives of the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope—a most interesting and valuable collection of Dutch official papers, covering the period from the departure from Holland of Commander Johau van Eiebeeck, in December, 1G51, in order to establish a factory or refreshment station here, until January, 180G, when the Cape was taken by England—I considered it necessary, not only to arrange the documents properly, but also to draw out their contents in the form of an English precis, and, at the same time, compile a copious index for the convenience of reference.

Infanticide in Early Modem Gennany: the Experience of Augsburg, Memmingen, Ulm, and Niirdlingen, 1500-1800
Infanticide in Early Modem Gennany: the experience of Augsburg, Memmingen, Ulm, and Niirdlingen, 1500-1800 Margaret Brannan Lewis Charlottesville, Virginia M.A., History, University of Virginia, 2008 B.A., History and Gennan, Furman University, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia May, 2012 i Abstract Between 1500 and 1800, over 100 women and men were arrested for infanticide or abortion in the city of Augsburg in southern Germany. At least 100 more were arrested for the same crime in the three smaller cities of Ulm, Memmingen, and Nördlingen. Faced with harsh punishments as well as social stigma if found pregnant out of wedlock, many women in early modern Europe often saw abortion or infanticide as their only option. At the same time, town councils in these southern German cities increasingly considered it their responsibility to stop this threat to the godly community and to prosecute cases of infanticide or abortion and to punish (with death) those responsible. The story of young, unmarried serving maids committing infanticide to hide their shame is well-known, but does not fully encompass the entirety of how infanticide was perceived in the early modern world. This work argues that these cases must be understood in a larger cultural context in which violence toward children was a prevalent anxiety, apparent in popular printed literature and educated legal, medical, and religious discourse alike. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, this anxiety was expressed in and reinforced by woodcuts featuring mass murders of families, deformed babies, and cannibalism of infants by witches and other dark creatures.

The Bourgeoisie in Southwestern Germany, 1500–1789: a Rising
HELEN P. LIEBEL THE BOURGEOISIE IN SOUTHWESTERN GERMANY, 1500-1789: A RISING CLASS? STAGES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GERMAN BOURGEOISIE, I 5 OO-1789 In German history the concept of a "rising middle class" has been applied to three major periods of development in three different ways. Traditionally, German historians have been concerned with describing (1) the development of towns and an urban bourgeoisie during the Middle Ages; then (2) the rise of a bourgeois class of university trained jurists during the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries; and finally, (3) the rise the modern middle class common to an industrialized society. By 1500 the bourgeois jurists had acquired extensive influence in urban governments, and even before the Reformation, they were also becoming increasingly indispensable as administrative councillors in the governments of the territorial princes. During the sixteenth century the university educated bureaucrat certainly represented a new social type, quite distinct from the medieval burgher; he belonged to a group which had truly "risen".1 Was the position of this class at all undermined by the warfare and general depression which followed the Reformation era? Certainly populations declined, and economic decline affected almost every one of the many free towns which had been the chief centers of urban civilization in the Holy Roman Empire.2 When prosperity did return some two centuries after the Thirty Years War, it did not occur in the same towns and territories which had benefitted from the boom of the sixteenth century.3 And although the economic revival of the eighteenth century increased the standard of living for the German bourgeoisie, it does not seem to have 1 Friedrich Ltitge, Deutsche Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte.
