Par son contenu plus riche, ce document intitulé «Papers relating to Sherrington & Seigneurie La Salle - 1821» diffère des copies détenues par les Archives nationales du Canada dans la série MG. Il est parvenu en Montérégie par l'intermédiaire des propriétaires-occupants de l'historique auberge de la famille Douglass, sise à Douglass Corner dans Saint­ Cyprien-de-Napierville, Sylviane Soulaine et Pierre Couture. Nous avons ce dossier dit Colonial entre nos mains grâce à son dépositaire actuel, Yves Bellefleur, président de la Fondation Royal-Roussillon pour la protection du patrimoine, récemment devenue la Société d'histoire et du patrimoine de Lignery. Cette nouvelle appellation vise à mieux désigner le territoire de la Société, formé de parties des anciennes seigneuries de La Prairie de la Magdeleine, de Sault-Saint­ Louis, ainsi que de La Salle, leur voisine que nous étudions de plus près. Ce territoire a pour coeur le Saint-Constant historique et il englobe entre autres municipalités, Saint-Édouard, Saint-Rémi, Saint-Mathieu, Saint-Cyprien-de-Napier­ ville et Sherrington. Nous soulignons dans notre mémoire comment le dossier Colonial a contribué à nous faire prendre conscience de l'imbroglio La Salle­ Sherrington et à nous inciter à en démêler les enchevêtrements. Nos premiers remerciements vont donc à Yves Bellefleur, ainsi qu'à Sylviane Soulaine et à Pierre Couture, par l'entremise desquels ce mémoire est advenu. Nous nous félicitons d'avoir eu accès au riche savoir et à la vaste expérience de notre directeur de mémoire, le Professeur Jean-Claude Robert. Pour s'être employé avec ardeur et patiente sollicitude tant à élargir la perspective qu'à débusquer le détail pointu au cours de notre travail, notre vive reconnaissance lui est assurée. Nous voulons adresser des remerciements particuliers à notre informaticien préféré, Pierre Reeves. Notre fils Pierre nous a généreusement permis de bénéficier de sa grande compétence sans jamais compter son temps. Enfin, nos mercis affectueux vont à nos proches, à tous nos amis, amies et consoeurs, qui nous ont apporté chaleur et appui tout au long des années écoulées, notamment à M. Yvon Trudeau, un homme de mémoire.

  • The Limits of Social Mobility: Social Origins and Career Patterns of British Generals, 1688-1815
    The London School of Economics and Political Science The Limits of Social Mobility: social origins and career patterns of British generals, 1688-1815 Andrew B. Wood A thesis submitted to the Department of Economic History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, November, 2011 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 88,820 words. 2 Abstract Late eighteenth-century Britain was dominated by two features of economic life that were a major departure from previous eras, the economic growth of the Industrial Revolution and almost constant warfare conducted on a previously unprecedented scale. One consequence of this was the rapid expansion, diversification and development of the professions. Sociologists and economists have often argued that economic development and modernisation leads to increasing rates of social mobility. However, historians of the army and professions in the eighteenth-century claim the upper levels of the army were usually isolated from mobility as the highest ranks were dominated by sons of the aristocracy and landed elite.

  • Raising the Revolutionaries' Banner 1775-1776
    Vol. 4 No. 3_____________________________________________ __July-August-September 2007 Raising the Revolutionaries’ Banner 1775-1776 19th century magic lanternslide depicting SC Patriot Sgt. William Jasper of the 2d South Carolina Continental Line, commanded by Col. William Moultrie, heroically re-raising the battered South Carolina standard over the parapet of the sand and palmetto log Fort Sullivan during the British naval bombardment of June 28-29, 1776. Mike Coker, the South Carolina Historical Society’s image expert, reports that this image is from a lanternslide painted by artists at the C. W. Briggs Company. The title on the slide is: “Sergeant Jasper at Ft. Moultrie, 1776”; it is a transparency, collodion on glass; size 3 1/4 X 4 inches. The Briggs were an American family of lanternists, slide painters and manufacturers. Daniel Briggs started painting and selling slides in 1850. Later the firm became C. (Caspear) W. Briggs and Co. in Philadelphia. Slides were made from stock negatives and colored by hand. (1850-1930s) This slide’s artist is unknown. Image is courtesy of the SCII Regiment. Artist Lucy Brown made a painting of this image in 1975, the original of which hangs in the main offices of the South Carolina Forestry Commission, 5500 Broad River Road, Columbia.
