The stockholder could invest abroad to avoid paying an obnoxious tax; worse yet, “a very trifling disgust will make [the merchant] remove his capital, and together with it all the industry which it supports, from one country to another.”1 In the twenty-first century, this observation has inspired studies

Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe (1865-1922), acquired The Times newspaper in 1908. In adding the most influential and reliable voice of the British establishment and of Imperially- fostered globalisation to his growing portfolio of newspapers and magazines, Northcliffe aroused some opposition among those who feared that he would rely on his seemingly infallible ear for the popular note and lower the tone and weaken the authority of The Times. Northcliffe had long hoped to prise this trophy from the control of the Walters family, convinced of his ability to make more of the paper than they had, and from the beginning applied his singular energy and intuition to improving the fortunes of ‘The Thunderer’.

  • Guide to Marianne Moore Series VI Family Correspondence
    Series VI: Family Correspondence Family correspondence is arranged chronologically. Beginning in 1848, it includes letters to and from the Rev. John Riddle Warner (MM’s maternal grandfather) from the time of his early pastoral work in Pennsylvania. Most of these letters (1848-1859) are written by or to Henry and Mary Warner (his parents), Henry Warner (his brother), and Annie Warner (Mrs. Robert) Armstrong (his sister). Other letters addressed “Dear Brother: ae from his ministerial colleagues. Beginning about 1859 there are added letters to and from Jennie Craig, who became his wife in 1860; her brother, George Craig; and the Eyster family, relative of the Craigs. Many letters are addressed from Laurel Hill, Pennsylvania, home of Jennie Craig and her family near Gettysburg. Jennie and John Warner lived near Gettysburg after their marriage. Mary Craig Warner was born to John and Jennie Warner in 1862. In September 1863, Jennie Warner died as a result of the disease which infested the Gettysburg area after the Civil War battle there. Infant Mary went to live with her Warner grandparents in Allegheny, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh). Letters from her to her “Pa” begin about 1870. About 1865, her father moved to Kirkwood Presbyterian Church. When Mary Warner reached high school age, she joined him, and attended the Mary Institute in St. Louis. She married John Milton Moore in 1884 and moved with him to Newton, Massachusetts, where their son, John Warner Moore, was born in 1886. While there, her husband suffered a nervous breakdown, and Mary Warner Moore returned to her father’s home in Kirkwood.

    Version 1.0 | Last updated 29 June 2021 Press Censorship (Portugal) By Noémia Malva Novais When we think of the press and journalism in Portugal under the First Republic (1910-1926), and especially during World War I (1914-1918), we necessarily consider whether they constituted, at this time, an instrument of power or a field of struggle for freedom. There are historical arguments for both sides of the internal debate. We analyse both sides in this brief article, which seeks to respond to this central issue within the domain of the press and journalism. Table of Contents 1 Introduction 2 Before Preventive Censorship 3 Preventive Censorship 4 From Censorship to Increased Repression 5 Censorship After the War 6 Conclusion Notes Selected Bibliography Citation Introduction To understand the press and journalism in Portugal under the First Republic (1910-1926), and especially during World War I (1914-1918), we have to answer the question of whether they constituted, at this time, an instrument of power or a field of struggle for freedom. Both sides of the internal debate have arguments in their favour, but we note that, in the summer of 1914, when war broke out, in Portugal and most other European countries, the press maintained a dialectical relation with the various systems and political regimes. Sometimes this relationship was an instrument of power, and at others it was as a space wherein a struggle for freedom of speech was carried out. The press lived, or survived, associated with politics. In Portugal, in the second decade of the 20th century, the activity of the press was no different from that of the press throughout the rest of Europe and even in the United States of America.
