  • Courses Taught at Both the Undergraduate and the Postgraduate Levels
    Jadavpur University Faculty of Arts Department of History SYLLABUS Preface The Department of History, Jadavpur University, was born in August 1956 because of the Special Importance Attached to History by the National Council of Education. The necessity for reconstructing the history of humankind with special reference to India‘s glorious past was highlighted by the National Council in keeping with the traditions of this organization. The subsequent history of the Department shows that this centre of historical studies has played an important role in many areas of historical knowledge and fundamental research. As one of the best centres of historical studies in the country, the Department updates and revises its syllabi at regular intervals. It was revised last in 2008 and is again being revised in 2011.The syllabi that feature in this booklet have been updated recently in keeping with the guidelines mentioned in the booklet circulated by the UGC on ‗Model Curriculum‘. The course contents of a number of papers at both the Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels have been restructured to incorporate recent developments - political and economic - of many regions or countries as well as the trends in recent historiography. To cite just a single instance, as part of this endeavour, the Department now offers new special papers like ‗Social History of Modern India‘ and ‗History of Science and Technology‘ at the Postgraduate level. The Department is the first in Eastern India and among the few in the country, to introduce a full-scale specialization on the ‗Social History of Science and Technology‘. The Department recently qualified for SAP.

  • Methodist Worship on the Delmarva Peninsula, 1800-1850
    Methodist Hist01y, 40:2 (January 2002) METHODIST WORSHIP ON THE DELMARVA PENINSULA, 1800-1850 AS WITNESSED IN THE LIFE AND WORK OF JOSHUA THOMAS, "PARSON OF THE ISLANDS" KIMBERLY BRACKEN LONG I Students of Methodist history have long debated the origins of Ameri­ can Methodism. Was it Philip Embury who began the first society in New York, or does the honor lie with Robert Strawbridge and his fellow Methodist in Frederick County, Maryland? This dispute has overshadowed a more important question, argues Russell Richey, namely, how Methodism has been shaped by regional particularities. 1 In Richey's view, it was the Chesapeake region-the Delmarva (Dela­ ware-Maryland~Virginia) Peninsula as well as the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, including Baltimore-that ''gave color to the whole move­ ment." Noting that Freeborn Garrettson, whose western shore society was one of the first on the continent, called the area "a nursery" of Methodism, Richey asserts that an exploration of Chesapeake religion is essential to understand how the movement took shape and spread in the American con­ text.2 Denying the commonly held assumptions that (1) American religion has only Puritan roots, (2) that southern religion (which he argues Methodism is) was primarily individualistic in focus, and that (3) Ainerican Methodism was a monolithic movement fron1 the start, Richey claims that Methodism in the United States was shaped in a particular way because of its Chesapeake roots. He proposes "nine facets of Chesapeake religion and later of American Methodism" 3-pluralism, revivalism, pietism, holiness, ambivalence about race, bi-raciality, denominationalism, roles of womert, and itinerancy-and asserts that each facet expressed characte1istics of Wesleyanism in a uniquely Chesapeake way.

For our girls, Langsea and Lucia (5 and 4 years old as I submit this), who when playing “mommy” pause from dressing and feeding baby dolls to write their own dissertations. In thanks to the women of First Covenant Church in Rockford, Illinois and Kerry Staurseth (Langsea’s godmother) who watched those most precious to me so that this first child could at last be born, proving that it also takes a village to write a dissertation.

  • 26 Repairing Episcopacy by Tracking That of Bishop Christian Newcomer Russell E. Richey from “Wir Sind Brüder!” to “Can W
    Methodist History, 57:1 & 2 (October 2018 & January 2019) REPAIRING EPISCOPACY BY TRACKING THAT OF BISHOP CHRISTIAN NEWCOMER Russell E. Richey From “Wir sind Brüder!” to “Can We become Brothers?” We invited our beloved Brother Newcomer to a seat in our conference as your messenger, and he is doubly dear to us as the messenger of such joyful tidings of brotherly love from you. “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of all the messengers of mercy and love and peace and good will.[”]1 So the 1811 Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC) Baltimore Conference received Christian Newcomer. The powerhouse, dominant, and controlling conference—the Vatican of early Methodism— imbedded this tribute within its formal response to an overture concerning union between the two church- es, an overture which Newcomer had conveyed. For the next three years, the Baltimore Minutes recognized Newcomer’s ambassadorial role and bur- dened him with responses to carry back. He had functioned in both mes- sage-bearing regards as well in the 1809 and 1810 United Brethren (UB) overtures, though, the Methodist Minutes do not so indicate. The encoun- ter for 1813—though it proved to be the last hopeful exchange—effectively ended the Newcomer-led unitive efforts. He described the 1813 events in some detail in his journal:2 [August] 25th—I preached at old Mr. Mohn’s, from Psalm 34, v. 20; rode to Peter Seitz’s, where our Conference is to be held. 26th—This forenoon the session of our Conference commenced; upwards of twenty preachers were present; poor unworthy me was elected their president.

  • English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records
    T iPlCTP \jrIRG by Lot L I B RAHY OF THL UN IVER.SITY Of ILLINOIS 975.5 D4-5"e ILL. HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.

  • Cape Shipping and the War at Sea
    6 Cape shipping and the war at sea News reached the Cape of Good Hope of growing tension between Britain and Spain in letters sent out by the Dutch company’s London agent Bolwerk on the Royal Guardian, which anchored in Table Bay on 5 December 1739. Some six weeks later Thomas Coates brought the Defence in from Mokha. He heard from Dutch outward-bound ships in the Cape roadstead that war had been declared. There was always the danger that France too might be involved and as the Saint-Geran was also at the Cape, Coates and his supercargoes John Wallis and Thomas Thomson addressed an urgent appeal to Governor Swellengrebel and his council of policy. They feared that Poree de la Touche of the Saint-Geran had sinister motives and requested that the French ship be detained until the Defence had been given sufficient time to get well on her way. This favour was asked on the grounds of “the established Alliance and Amity which has been so long subsisting between the Crown of Great Britain and the Most High and Mighty States of Holland”. The Dutch, however, wished to remain on friendly terms with all nations and could pot therefore entertain such a request. They nevertheless made one gesture of special friendship. The Defence had sailed for home with insufficient ammunition to meet a war situation. The Cape authorities could, however, supply her needs. The Oostrust had been forced to run for Mossel Bay on her voyage from the Cape to Batavia late in 1739 and had been brought back to Saldanha Bay in a leaky state.
