  • A Soldier Fights for Three Separate but Sometimes Associated Reasons: for Duty, for Payment and for Cause
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository The press and military conflict in early modern Scotland by Alastair J. Mann A soldier fights for three separate but sometimes associated reasons: for duty, for payment and for cause. Nathianiel Hawthorne once said of valour, however, that ‘he is only brave who has affections to fight for’. Those soldiers who are prepared most readily to risk their lives are those driven by political and religious passions. From the advent of printing to the present day the printed word has provided governments and generals with a means to galvanise support and to delineate both the emotional and rational reasons for participation in conflict. Like steel and gunpowder, the press was generally available to all military propagandists in early modern Europe, and so a press war was characteristic of outbreaks of civil war and inter-national war, and thus it was for those conflicts involving the Scottish soldier. Did Scotland’s early modern soldiers carry print into battle? Paul Huhnerfeld, the biographer of the German philosopher and Nazi Martin Heidegger, provides the curious revelation that German soldiers who died at the Russian front in the Second World War were to be found with copies of Heidegger’s popular philosophical works, with all their nihilism and anti-Semitism, in their knapsacks.1 The evidence for such proximity between print and combat is inconclusive for early modern Scotland, at least in any large scale. Officers and military chaplains certainly obtained religious pamphlets during the covenanting period from 1638 to 1651.

  • July at the Museum!
    July at the Museum! Battle of Aughrim, John Mulvaney. The Battle of the Boyne, July 1st 1690. On 1 July 1690, the Battle of the Boyne was fought between King James II's Jacobite army, and the Williamite Army under William of Orange. Despite only being a minor military victory in favour of the Williamites, it has a major symbolic significance. The Battle's annual commemorations by The Orange Order, a masonic-style fraternity dedicated to the protection of the Protestant Ascendancy, remain a topic of great controversy. This is especially true in areas of Northern Ireland where sectarian tensions remain rife. No year in Irish history is better known than 1690. No Irish battle is more famous than William III's victory over James II at the River Boyne, a few miles west of Drogheda. James, a Roman Catholic, had lost the throne of England in the bloodless "Glorious Revolution" of 1688. William was Prince of Orange, a Dutch-speaking Protestant married to James's daughter Mary, and became king at the request of parliament. James sought refuge with his old ally, Louis XIV of France, who saw an opportunity to strike at William through Ireland. He provided French officers and arms for James, who landed at Kinsale in March 1689. The lord deputy, the Earl of Tyrconnell was a Catholic loyal to James, and his Irish army controlled most of the island. James quickly summoned a parliament, largely Catholic, which proceeded to repeal the legislation under which Protestant settlers had acquired land. During the rule of Tyrconnell, the first Catholic viceroy since the Reformation, Protestants had seen their influence eroded in the army, in the courts and in civil government.

To stamp what is done for him with the seal of his approval is tacitly, but obviously, to accept the act as his own f and that is true no less where the ratification is implicit, than where it is expressly made manifest.^ No one, moreover, deems it necessary to take objection to lia- bility which is consequent upon a general negligence.* I may knowingly employ a clearly incompetent person.^ I may con- sciously fail to provide proper means for the performance of the allotted work.^ I may fail to give my servant information which I know to be essential to the right completion of his task.'' 1 may fail to take adequate precautions against the commission of a tort in my presence.^ In cases such as these, where the master is directly involved, it is essential to any scheme of law that he should be held liable for such damage as his servant may cause.

Perhaps the most prestigious megalithic monument of Europe is Stonehenge, the stone circle presiding on the rolling hills of Salisbury in Wiltshire, England. The earliest known references to the islands as a group appeared in the writings of seafarers from the ancient Greek colony of Massalia. In: English Heritage. We are independent, we are not part of Britain, not even in geographical terms. In time, Anglo-Saxon demands on the British became so great that they came to culturally dominate the bulk of southern Great Britain, though recent genetic evidence suggests Britons still formed the bulk of the population. English colonialism in Ireland of the 16th century was extended by large-scale Scottish and English colonies in Ulster. Allen, Stephen Lehmberg Request examination copy.

  • Analyzing the Agenda of Parliament in the Age of Reform∗
    Analyzing the Agenda of Parliament in the Age of Reform∗ VERY PRELIMINARY W. Walker Hanlon Northwestern University, NBER, CEPR July 27, 2021 Abstract This article provides a new measure of the agenda of the British Parliament{the sub- stantive topics on which debate was focused{from 1810-1914. This measure is obtained by applying a keyword approach to debate descriptions from the Hansard records. The results provide a new tool for analyzing the evolution of the British political system across this important period of history. To illustrate the utility of this measure, I an- alyze two issues. First, I use the data to identify key turning points, years that saw the most dramatic changes in the issues being debated. This analysis identifies three points, the First Reform Act (1832), the repeal of the Corn Laws (1846), and the rise of the Labour Party (1910), as critical periods of change. In contrast, little seems to have changed in the years around the Second Reform Act (1867) or Third Reform Act (1884). The data are also used to study the impact of changes in party control on the agenda of Parliament. I find little evidence that shifts in the identity of the party in government substantially influenced the issues that came before Parliament. This finding suggests that parties played a reactive rather than a proactive role in determining what issues Parliament needed to address at any given point in time. ∗I thank Alexandra E. Cirone and seminar participants at the Northwestern Economic History Brownbag for helpful comments. Author email: [email protected].

  • The Basis of Vicarious Liability
    THE BASIS OF VICARIOUS LIABILITY I If a master choose to give orders to his servant, no one can fail to understand why he should be held liable for the conse- quences of their commission.' Nor is the case in substance dif- ferent when he ratifies his servant's act. To stamp what is done for him with the seal of his approval is tacitly, but obviously, to accept the act as his own ;2 and that is true no less where the ratification is implicit, than where it is expressly made manifest.3 No one, however, deems it necessary to take objection to lia- bility which is consequent upon a general negligence.4 I may knowingly employ a clearly incompetent person.' I may con- sciously fail to provide proper means for the performance of the allotted work. I may fail to give my servant information which I know to be essential to the right completion of his task.7 I may fail to take adequate precautions against the commission of a tort in my presence.8 In cases such as these, where the master is directly involved, it is essential to any scheme of law that he should be held liable for such damage as his servant may cause. The problem is far different where express authority does not exist. A state in which it is an accepted doctrine that the sins of the servant may, even when unauthorized, be visited upon the master, has won a tolerable respect for its law. Yet the thing is sufficiently novel to be worth some careful investigation.

  • This Essay Explains Benjamin Disraeli Parliamentary Response to The
    Conservatism and British imperialism in India: finding the local roots of empire in Britain and India by Matthew Stubbings A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 © Matthew Stubbings 2015 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public ii Abstract This thesis explores the importance of political conservatism in shaping the ideological and political foundations of British imperialism in India between 1857 and 1914. From the Indian Revolt to the rise of Indian nationalism, it examines how British and Indian conservatives attempted to define a conceptual and institutional framework of empire which politically opposed liberal imperialism to the First World War. It relies upon a biographical analysis to examine how intellectual configurations defined distinct political positions on Indian empire. This study reveals the extent that local conservative inclination and action, through political actors such as Lord Ellenborough, Benjamin Disraeli, Lord Mayo, Lord Lytton, the Kathiawar States, Roper Lethbridge, and M.M. Bhownaggree, shaped public and partisan discourse on empire. It argues that British and Indian conservatives evoked shared principles centered in locality, prescription, and imagination to challenge, mollify, and supplant the universal and centralizing ambitions of liberal imperialists and nationalists with the employment of pre-modern ideas and institutions. It is argued that this response to liberalism conditioned their shared contribution and collaboration towards an imperial framework predicated principally upon respecting and supporting local autonomy and traditional authority in a hierarchical and divided India.
